She had a worried look on her face which he rarely saw, and that made his anger to slowly subside.

"Are you okay?" Rose asked with concern. Luca was one of those many people who were gentle and calm and rarely gets angry, but once they get angry, their anger wouldn't be good.

Luca sighed and took a few deep and calming breaths before he replied, "I think so."

"I was surprised to see the nurse running out, and then coming into the room, I find you fuming in anger. Pray tell, what happened?" Rose probed.

It was silent for a while, but it wasn't awkward or uncomfortable. Rose patiently waited for him to speak and it paid off in the end.

"My nightmares… they are back." He finally said.

"The ones about you drowning?" Rose asked even when she knew it definitely had to be that.

Ever since that accident at the ocean, Luca had been having nightmares involving him drowning, just like a replay of what had happened, and Rose was one of the few people that were aware of it.

He had stopped having those nightmares for a long time, but it seemed they have returned.

Luca nodded his reply to her question and then decided to change the topic in order to lighten up his mood. "Let's not talk about it. What happened to me?" He asked out of curiosity. He didn't remember anything happening to him that warranted him being brought to the hospital.

Rose smiled guiltily at his question. Scratching the back of her neck, she replied, "Ah, right. You passed out after you were done eating."

"Passed out after I was done eating?" Luca repeated after her with a crease on his brows. Then his memories of the events that ensued suddenly came back. He remembered them going to the restaurant, the food they ordered and the deal they made.

A smile of realization appeared on his face as he said. "Oh yeah, that's right. We were at the Jewels restaurant eating chili and jerk chickens. We made a deal, and I ended up eating all of it, and… that's all I remember."

"You had fainted and the restaurant management didn't take it well. Some people who had seen you unconscious overreacted and blamed the restaurant management. Some had even gone ahead to take pics and videos of the incident. The internet should be in chaos by now, and if something were to happen to you, that would have been the end of the restaurant. Thankfully, the doctor said nothing was wrong with you and that you had fainted because you couldn't handle the level of spice you ate. He said eating spicy foods can cause temporary increase in the rate of a person's heartbeat and blood pressure due to the release of adrenaline. He said it was rare, but excess release of adrenaline could cause one to be lightheaded and dizzy, and in your case, it made you lose consciousness." Rose sighed, realizing that she had spoken for long without taking a break, and then all of a sudden, she picked up the pillow that was on the bed Luca was lying on and hit him with it.

"You almost made me have an heart-attack! I almost died with guilt for not stopping you from attempting suicide. What if you had choked on the food and something happened to you? That restaurant would have to bear the brunt of our actions and your billions of fans would definitely make their life a living hell." Her chest was heaving by the time she was done letting out her grievances.

Luca was rendered speechless. He was surprised at what she said about him fainting at the restaurant and about how the restaurant was put in trouble because of that. There was also the pics and videos that she had mentioned that were taken of him and posted on the internet, and to think that all these happened because of an excess rush of adrenaline in his body, it was simply shocking to him.

But she hitting him with the pillow and scolding him almost made him burst into laughter. He could hear the worry in her voice and he was touched.

Smiling at her mischievously, he said, "You are forgetting about the good part."

Rose furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "What good part?"

"The part where I won the deal and that I can now make advances at you from now on." He replied as a matter of fact.

Rose could only open her mouth in shock of his shamelessness even in a situation as this. When she recovered, she hit him with the pillow again. "Really? That's all you have to say after everything I said?"

Luca finally let out the laughter that he had been holding in, and before Rose could blow off on him again, he replied. "I'm just kidding. I'll make a public post to inform everyone that I'm okay, and as compensation to the restaurant, I'll give them a five-star review. The review would surely get their restaurant flooded with customers."

Rose calmed down after hearing what he said, and then she handed his phone which had been in her possession over to him. "Make the post now before your fans do something crazy."

He collected the phone and went to his social media account to make a brief post informing everyone about what happened. The post says thus;

'Hello everyone! It's your favorite actor signing in. I want to let you all know that I'm alright and as healthy as can be. It was no one's fault but mine. I had gone ahead to eat spicy food knowing fully well that I can't handle spicy foods, so please do not fault Jewel restaurant for my absurdity. I'm sorry for making you guys worry, and remember that I will always love you!'

Then he took a picture of himself making a heart shape with his hand and posted it together with what he had written as proof that he was truly hale and hearty.

After that, he searched for Jewels restaurant website, and gave them a five-star review. 'Today was the first time visiting this restaurant and I couldn't help but be fascinated by how neat and orderly the restaurant was. Even the decor and interior designs are top notch. Now let's not forget about the food! Although I didn't get to taste their different delicacies, I could tell from the mouthwatering aroma that they were going to be sumptuous. This is a restaurant I would definitely recommended to my loved ones.'

"Done and dusted." Luca said once he was done with posting. "I'm sure everything will be alright now."

Rose sighed and replied, "Let me see how they are reacting to your post." She collected his phone back from him and her mouth almost dropped at what she saw. "Five-hundred thousand likes and over four-hundred thousand comments in just one minute!" She looked at him and then asked jokingly, "What kind of charm did you use on these people? It's like they were standing by their phone, patiently waiting for an update or something."

Looking back at the phone again, the number of likes and comments had gone higher. Deciding not to be surprised by that, Rose glanced through the comments to see if they were positive. Some of the comments were;

[Oh thank goodness you are alright! I don't know how I'm going to continue living if something terrible were to happen to you. I would have dragged down that restaurant to its bits. Don't ever do something that would endanger your health ever again, okay? Remain blessed and lots of love]

[I almost had a heart-attack, but I'm glad you are okay now. Please take care of yourself for us.]

[I had already prepared to sue that restaurant for endangering your life, and I had also said so many negative things against the restaurant. My sincere apologies to @Jewelsresturant for the misunderstanding. I'll make sure to take down the posts I made against you.]

[I couldn't stop my tears when I heard the news. I was worried sick, and now you tell me it was all for nothing! You have to take responsibility. Lol just kidding, I'm happy you are okay!]

There were so many other positive comments like that, and where there are positives there would most likely be negatives, and this case was not an exception. 

Some of Luca's haters saw this as an opportunity to drag his name into the mud. They called him irresponsible, injudicious and so many other downgrading names. They even claimed he staged the act with Jewels restaurant in order to stir up the internet and make himself more famous.

But of course, Luca's army stood strong and fought against his haters on his behalf. They replied the haters with all sought of demeaning words and didn't accept the narrative the haters were trying to create about Luca. It was simply chaotic!

And with the review Luca made about Jewels restaurant, it got so many positive reactions as well, and it seemed like Jewels restaurant was gonna be so busy for a very long term, as it was going to be flooded with customers.

Rose was somewhat satisfied with what she saw and she sighed in relief. "The majority reacted positively to your post." She said and Luca smiled in relief as well.

Rose was then about to hand over his phone to him when it rang. Someone was calling his line and the name he used to save the number of the caller was 'Mrs Celine'.
