Chapter 6
"Go to the master's office , with the medical kit , hurry up Elizabeth is waiting for you"a maid ran up to me saying in one breath as she rushed passed me. I took a medical kit and hurried to Carson's office.
It was raining and cloudy out side. The passed week had been raining through out , which caused the weather to be gloomy all day long and the mansion to be a little dark.
I entered into the office to be greeted with a shirtless Carson sitting at the sofa with a few wounds on his body, a stressed Lucas pacing the room with wet clothes and a worried Elizabeth standing next to Carson by sofa.
Their attention turned to me as I entered . I walked in and handed the kit to Elizabeth, she placed it on the coffee table Infront of Carson and was about to treat him when Lucas with a raised eye brow said "I thought it was clear that medicine is not in your blood ?" He said directing it to Elizabeth who just looked at him with a blank expression.
"Well if you know so much why don't you do it "she scoffed at him. "I didn't say I know how to , but we all remember what happened last time ,"Lucas replied with a look that was to obvious.
Carson just rolled his eyes at them "fine"Elizabeth said placing the bottle of antiseptic and cotton wool down on the coffee table while glaring at Lucas who just shrugged it off .
"Evelyn, do you know first aid ?"Elizabeth suddenly asked turning to face me and the others followed , her question left me dumbfoundedly standing there without a single word caming out of my mouth.
"Sorry?"I asked her to make sure I wasn't hallucinating, "do you know first aid? "she repeated her question to which I just gave a small nod .
"Great can you help me with this?, I'm going to go and start preparing dinner "and with that she didn't even wait for my answer and just rushed passed me towards the door and left closing the door .
"You really do know how to do it right?"Lucas asked with a questioning look ,to which I just nodded.
"Ok, I'm going to change. I'll see you at dinner"he told Carson before leaving .
I took a deep breath and walked up to him ,lowering myself , I sat down next to him at the sofa, took what I needed and started cleaning up his wounds .
"What happened?"I asked not minding to look up at him and continued with the task in hand.
"A fight "he answered a little bit unsure ,"fist fight or gun fight?"I asked again.
"Kind of both "I looked up at him and for the first time I noticed his dark grey eyes, that seemed to carry a sudden type of burden as I stared into them .
I returned my gaze to his wounds "you should be careful "my voice was low but audible deprived of any emotions as usual .
"Yeah "and our conversation ended there , non of us talk until I was finished.
I walked out of his office and did some other work before it was time to prepare the dinner table for them .
The boys had been away for three days so usually they would eat together with Freya , Carson's mom and Kelsey, the girl I have absolutely no idea about, when they came back.
Carson's POV
I sat at the dinner table , Lucas sat at my right , my mother at the head of the table and also next to lucas, and Kelsey sat across from me .
Dinner was quite only the occasional clicking sounds of spoons and forks on the plates and my mom's rare questions could be heard.
My mind drifted away to a pair of hazel eyes, I could never forget them from when she looked at me, I felt bad for everything I was doing but I had no choice it was this or I suffer an economic instability which i wasn't ready for right now , as soon as I take care care of Alexander I would let her go .
"So Carson I heard what happened to you and I'm really sorry "Kelsey interrupted the silence. "It fine it wasn't something out of the ordinary" my voice was cold and my gaze forced on the plate Infront of me, which seemed to really disturb her.
"I can help you if you need anything "I looked up at her then back at my food " it's fine you don't need to disturb yourself "my voice was calm as I spoke.
"Ohh I don't mind really , I w..."my mother's annoyed voice interrupted her "we have maid for a reason don't give your self rolls your not supposed to have, "I looked up at her and by the way she was staring at Kelsey she didn't look happy .
Dinner went on in silence and everyone went on with their own work afterwards.
"Hey, you look so tired, are you having trouble sleeping ?"Kelsey spoke as we met at the corridor.
"No am heading to bed right now "i answered ,I wasn't in the mood for a conversation so I just walked past her with out a second glance.
As I neared my office I saw Lucas and Evelyn standing together near the kitchen entrance , I went into my office and took a few documents I need to work on, Lucas walked in to take his laptop , "what were you doing with her ?"I asked my back facing him , I could feel his movements stop "she was helping me ""with what ?"I turned to face him , what could she possibly help him with ,I hope he wasn't helping her with her plan to escape.
He raised the sleeve of his shirt to reveal a bandage that was wrapped around his forearm.
"You were hurt ?"I asked with frowned brows.
"It's not anything serious"he said clearly seeing the concern in my eyes."why didn't you say so?"I questioned him, with a cold expression ,I hated it when he kept things like that from me ,I didn't want anything serious to happened to him.
"As I said it's not anything serious "he shrugged it off ,so I just changed the subject .
"How's mom ?"l asked him "she is still not happy about Kelsey , but from what I heard from Elizabeth the didn't talk or even see each other while we were away"
I sighed scratching the back of my neck , I hated to do this to mom but my dad made a promise and I had no choice but to fulfill that promise for him,to honor him .
"You need to talk to her Carson, and try to explain yourself. I'm sure she doesn't like her for a reason "he said in a serious tone , and Lucas only used my name when he was really serious about something . But the thing is it isn't really that easy to talk to mom about things like this .
"Think about it "and with that he left, leave me alone to think about what he just said, even Lucas didn't like Kelsey that much so he natural was on my mother's side when it came to her(Kelsey).
That night wasn't an any different from the others I stayed up until late to finish some work and when I laid in bed I couldn't sleep, well at least my thoughts didn't let me.
I had a lot in my mind , the problem with mom and Kelsey and some work related issues.
I laid in bed and after hours of staying awake sleep finally engulfed me.
