49 Some Alone Time

Steve continued to push Anna even when she was showing resistance to all his efforts. “You need to eat something. You have always taken care of me when I am unwell. It's my turn to look after you. So please don't make it hard for me!” Steve said, trying to be calm. “I just ate. I don't need anything right now. Please let me rest,” she said. “I wish I could but I can't. You never spoke to the doctor but I did. You need to eat after every few minutes. Look at this tasty soup. It's going to give you enough appetite to feast on this plate of food!” He said. Anna refused to wake up. Steve pulled her hand from the sheets and forced her to hold the soup spoon. “What are you doing? I asked you to leave!” She asked. “Yes, I heard you. The problem is I can't leave until you take some soup. I am not leaving a hungry person here just because she ordered me to,” he said. “I am not hungry. How many times do I have to tell you this?” She was getting sick and tired.
