"Akh !!" Leon held his head in pain as he tried to sit his body by leaning against the head of the bed.
"You're up ?" duke Xander asked who had just woken up when he heard Leon's moaning.
Leon looked at the back of his hand that was stuck in an infusion needle. The young man then held his forehead in a bandage and tried to remember what had happened. A moment later the memory began to be reflected. All he remembered was feeling unwell and decided to go to the bathroom to pee. When he finished and was about to wash his hands, suddenly inside the young man's vision, all things were spinning. And before long, everything went dark and Leon remembered nothing.
"How are you doing ?" Duke Xander got up from the sofa and walked quickly to Leon. He held his son's arm with a worried look.
"No need to pretend to care" hissed Leon angrily. The young man pulled his arm that Duke Xander was holding roughly. After hearing all of his father's dirty plans along with Claire's from Zack's mouth, Leon's respect completely evaporated for the man.
Duke Xander. For a second Duke Xander felt a little pinch in his heart. Leon refused his attention when he was sick for the first time.
Ignoring the pain in his heart, Duke Xander chose to stay away a little from Leon. He then pressed the intercom attached to the wall to contact Ronald.
" Ronald ! Have the waiter bring some food for Leon !" he said in a flat voice as usual.
"Okay, Duke !" Ronald answered quickly.
Now only silence fills the barrier between father and son whose relationship is in the cold war. While waiting for Ronald, Duke Xander just stood quietly by the window. While Leon also threw his empty gaze on the walls of the room which is dominated by gray.
Ronald arrives 5 minutes later with two maids, each carrying a tray. One tray contained warm porridge and plain water, and another contained biscuits and a cup of green tea. After putting down the food they brought, the two maids immediately agreed to leave.
Ronald took the warm porridge and approached Leon. The man grabbed a chair and sat down near Leon who was leaning on the head of the bed. Ronald rummaged through the porridge intending to cool it first.
"It's time to eat Young Master" Ronald said as he scooped up the porridge and pointed it at Leon's mouth.
"No. Bring back the food ! I don't want to eat" Leon refused, keeping his mouth away. The young man remained stubbornly unwilling to eat anything.
Ronald took a breath. He's still trying to try.
"Doctor Norris said you were sick because you never ate or drank at all. Therefore, you have to eat now so you can recover quickly," said Ronald.
"I don't want to get well, Ronald ! Just let me be like this." Leon stared blankly at the sleeping lamp that was above the nightstand. His voice sounded weak and full of despair.
Ronald breathed again. The man then looked at Duke Xander who was still at home standing by the window. As if asking for a solution on what he should do now.
"Let me feed him" cried Duke Xander as he walked closer to Ronald.
Ronald stood up and let Duke Xander sit in his chair. The bowl of porridge he had been holding now turned into Duke Xander's hand.
"Leave us both Ronald !" duke Xander's orders later.
"Good !" Ronald nodded obediently and rushed out of the room. He shut Leon's door shut afterwards to give the father and son some privacy.
"May your relationship improve as it used to be" Ronald said expectantly.
Leon's still flinching. The young man snorted violently while glancing at the snide Duke Xander through the tail of his eyes. His hands clenched tightly grasping the blanket that covered half of his body.
"Eat !" pinta Duke Xander's. His hand moved to feed his son.
Leon sculpting. He was like a rock that could not move let alone make a sound. Duke Xander's orders are only considered to be limited to the wind.
"Didn't you hear what Daddy said ?" asked Duke Xander who began to be provoked by anger again. He was furious to see Leon's behavior that increasingly he could not control. His son is now wild.
Leon is still in his position. This was a new form of defense that he had created in order to fight against his father.
Duke Xander surrendered. He put the bowl of porridge near Leon. Duke Xander stood up and took a deep breath.
"Look at your behavior now ! You're getting more and more over you ! You became a dissident child and forgot all the good ethics Daddy taught you !" Duke Xander voiced his annoyance.
Leon smiled cynically at Duke Xander's words. Now the middle-aged man managed to get his attention hooked.
"What kind of good ethics did Daddy teach me ?" ask Leon cynically. The corner of his lips revealed a mocking smile.
"I don't think Daddy teaches ethics anything other than just being subject to Daddy's commands like a pet dog" he continued with great emphasis.
"Get me talk !" Duke Xander warned sharply. His ears were in the air.
"Is there something wrong with me saying Dad ?" Leon grinned defiantly. The glare of his sharp eyes further confirmed that his present self had indeed completely changed. Goodbye to the obedient Leon.
Duke Xander was breathing rough. Emotions filled his entire body.
"It's all because of that Asian girl !" duke Xander said. He blames someone who never does anything.
"Don't bring Arumi into this matter ! It's enough Daddy bothers him and humiliates him with Jane" Leon snapped.
Duke Xander gasped. It seems, the plan that he put together with Jane some time ago is already known Leon.
"What do you mean ?" duke Xander asked.
"Zack told me everything Dad ! So, stop pretending again" replied Leon growled. The young man laughed weakly.
"Good ethic ? Daddy pretentious reminds me of that. But, look at ! Who doesn't know ethics all this time ! Me or Daddy ?"
"Take your talk, Leon !" duke Xander's growled jaws.
Leon laughed again. Enjoyed the wrathful face of Duke Xander that he rarely saw. Yep. This is what his father's real face should be like. People who are arrogant, angry and feel the most powerful. Not Duke Xander who is flat, dignified and dignified.
"Listen to me Dad ! If I knew Daddy still dared to do something that was not good to Arumi behind my back, I'd make sure Daddy would regret it" Leon said seriously.
Duke Xander was at a loss for words. He angrily galloped out of his son's room just like that.
