Chapter 140
"Don't over speed" Kyle's thick voice ordered. " You don't have to worry too much" he said calmly.
The skin has started to react on her body. It was the dim light in the car that didn't allow her husband to know that she was beginning to get pale. Even Lexie herself didn't know her state, she just knew that she wasn't her normal self. She could feel it but what else could she do? If her husband wasn't seated with her, she would have teleported to the mansion but she wouldn't dare do that now. She didn't even tell her brothers so that she wouldn't make everyone panick at home.
Immediately the car stopped at the mansion's garage, Lexie bolted out and Kyle ran after her.
"Stop running Lexie" Kyle shouted but nancy didn't listen.
By the time she got to the living room she met the rest except for Carl, Jeff and Kim.
"How is she?" She shouted panting.
They almost exclaimed at the sight of her pale face. They knew she needed to get rid of that stuff immediately but Dean didn't want her to over do it so he scolded her.
"Can you at least calm down?" He said sternly.
He was really fearful for his daughter. Maureen didn't even say a word because she knew it would be tears that would come out. She was seriously scared.
Alec quickly mind linked Carl and Jeff to tell them of Lexie's arrival and the state she is in. They hurried down and when they saw her they understand the urgency of the situation. Everybody there stood up except Lexie who was standing already.
"How's she now?" Lexie and her mother chorused.
" She's stable now" Carl replied.
Kyle looked at Jeff and their eyes met. It was as if he was waiting for him to look. Kyle gave him an all will be well look and to Kyle's surprise, Jeff gave him a smile even though it was a quick and stiff one. This seem to be the first time this is happening.
"Can I go see her?" Lexie's voice cut through Kyle's thought.
"Em Lexie you...." Jeff started to say.
Lexie wouldn't let him finish before she cuts in.
"No you can't stop me from seeing her. I'm so worried" she almost cried out.
Jeff wasn't going to stop her. He was just trying to follow the plan steadily.
"It's fine. Let her go see her. You know her, she wouldn't stop worrying until she confirm that she's fine" Carl said.
Not that they didn't want Lexie to rush up immediately to go shred the skin but if they rush too much, their acting would be none and void.
Just as Carl said that, Lexie raced up.
Kyle looked at his wife's back disappear through the stairs and wondered how much love his wife has for her brother's wife for her to be so sad at what happened. He felt that they might have been so close since he is not always there to start with her. He felt guilty.
"Be careful!" Everyone shouted at once but that didn't make her stop.
Maureen then moved to go up too but Carl stopped her.
"Mum you can't go. She just woke up and if it been crowded, it will make things a bit difficult" he said.
Maureen wanted to cry. She couldn't help but feel sad. She wanted to help her daughter but what could she do, she has to stick to the plan. She just moved closer to her husband and he hugged her, whispering to her ears.
Just has Lexie opened the door hurriedly, she saw Kim who was seated already waiting for her. Kim stood up immediately and ran to her.
"I need to get this off immediately" Lexie said.
Kim helped her undress and sprayed the removal liquid swiftly. After waiting for two minutes, they begin to peel off. It should have been done gently but because of Lexie's impatience, they did it hurriedly. Peeling off the last layers of the attachment, Lexie ran into the bathroom and took a hot bath.
When Lexie came out of the bathroom, she wasn't feeling herself at all. She was feeling so dizzy and weak. She managed to put on her clothes and then apply make up so that Kyle won't be suspicious of anything but has she stood to leave, she fell back to the bed and blacked out.
Kim who was doing some cleaning up couldn't help but to scream.
"Lexie!!"
Her voice was so loud that her scream rang in all the building. Hearing this, everyone raced up. Carl was the first to get there. He moved and saw Lexie who was now almost as white as snow.
"Call the ambulance!" He barked out.
Hearing Carl's orders Kyle ran to the front. He was so shocked when he saw her.
"What the heck is going on?" He shouted as he held her. "Baby" he took her into his hands. "C'mon Lexie" he cried out.
He was really trembling. He already lost all his composure. He screamed Lexie's name severally.
The ambulance came very fast and it took her to Carl's hospital. It was only Carl and his assistant that went with the ambulance while the rest took their cars. They all waited at the door of the emergency room. Maureen and Kim wouldn't stop crying no matter how they were pacified. Kyle was really down and he himself wasn't looking good. He was thinking about a lot of things.
He began to think maybe what Vin said was true. He then had doubt because it was only his wife that was affected by whatever it is. He really needed to know what is happening about this family. He was so sure that his wife was super fine and now how could she suddenly fall sick within few minutes and it seems so serious. At least he was glad that her family was there. If not what could he do?
Carl has so much difficulties in saving his sister because he didn't allow any other nurse to be with him.He only had Riggs for help in the emergency room. He didn't know why she had to react so bad to the artificial skin.
Thank God that Riggs is a very agile person, if not Carl would have suffered greatly. As agile as Riggs is, it still took over an hour to make Lexie stable.
He used both medical and his superficial powers to stabilize her. He was so drained that he knew he can't make use of his powers for few days.Download Novelah App
