Hard Decisions

I got a phone call from Walker,"Lucia!Why aren't you poisoning him already?" He asked angrily.
"I need some time." I whispered.
"Just...just do it quickly." He hung up the call.
I had enough already.This day was just getting worse and worse.
I walked out of the house and sneaked out to the huge garden.It was really beautiful.I sniffed a few flowers.Bare footed,I walked in the garden.In the darkness,I could see nothing but I imagined that there were colourful flowers everywhere.Butterflies flying here and there.
Suddenly,I was pulled back into reality when something stinged my foot."Ouch!" I screamed not too loudly.
It was terribly painful.I ran back to my room and rushed to the bathroom.I washed my leg and let it rest a bit on the hot tub.
I looked below my foot and saw that it was swollen and red.
I am never going to that garden again.
After a long time of massaging my leg,I came out and decided to call it a night.

The next morning,I woke up but my feet was terribly hurting.
It was more swollen now and more red.
I tried to walk but it was really painful.However,I struggled a lot but finally made it out of my room.I slowly walked downstairs and headed towards the table.Thankfully,Luke was nowhere around but a maid ran towards me and held me.
"Miss,are you alright?" She asked.
"Yeah,I am fine.Something just stinged my foot last night." I said as I sat down on the chair.
"Let me have a look,miss." She knelt and gasped.
"I should call a doctor!" She said.
"No.That's not necessary." I replied.
"If it gets infected,your foot will be decomposed." She explained and immediately called a doctor.
I didn't argue further because the pain was increasing.
I finished my breakfast by the time the doctor arrived.The maid guided her to sit on the couch and told me,more like requested me to go there.
I slowly walked towards the doctor and sat beside her.
"How are you?" She asked sweetly.
"I am fine,thank you." I smiled back at her.
"So what happened?" She asked.
"I think something stinged my foot last night while I was walking in the garden." I said.
"Can I see?" She asked.I lifted my foot and she gasped,"It's a bee sting!" She asked.
She opened her small suitcase and put a cream on my leg.
She wrote some medicines and gave me the prescription.
"Thank you but why do I need anti biotics?" I asked.
"Your wounds were exposed for a long time and there is a chance that it might be slightly infected." She replied.I nodded and went through the prescription again.
"Get them for me." I said to the maid.She nodded and walked away.I was in no mood to struggle and go upstairs so I turned on the television and tried to cheer myself.
I laid down on the couch as my back was hurting.I heard a muffled voice,"She got stinged by a bee." It was the voice of that maid.
"..."
"Under her right foot.She said she was walking in the garden last night."
Then I no longer heard the voice.When I heard the front gate open,I looked at the door.
Luke entered the door like a king as the guards opened the door for him.
His eyes landed on mine.He walked a little but faster and sat next to me.Without any words or expressions,he lifted my leg and took a good look at my wound.
"I am sorry." I whispered.
He didn't look at me.He just stood up and was about to walk away.I grabbed his wrist and said,"I said I am sorry."
"Don't think about it too much.It's fine." He replied and walked away.
