98 Frightened
Ella was still in bed with her eyes closed. However, it was clear that her sleep was restless.
Her brows furrowed and her hands gripped the blanket tightly.
She looked like she was drowning in an endless nightmare. Every now and then, she would mutter quietly and no one could hear her words clearly.
Christian stood by the bed, looking at Ella.
Not knowing if it was because of her nightmare, or because she had lost too much blood, Ella’s face was pale. Her lips look very dry and cracked.
The doctor who entered the room could only hold onto his briefcase, which was filled with medicine, and didn’t dare to move an inch, feeling pressured by the cold aura emanating from Christian.
He is the Adipamungkas Family’s personal doctor. However, he rarely has direct contact with Christian. You could say, this was the first time the doctor had met him in person.
But when he recalled the rumors circulating out there, the doctor was surprised by Christian’s attitude. This man looks worried about the woman in front of him.
The butler who accompanied the doctor also could only stand while holding back his fear. What does his master want?
.....
After a long silence, Christian finally said, “Treat her.”
“Okay,” the doctor didn’t dare to delay any longer. He immediately opened the medicine box he was carrying and took out some disinfectant for Ella’s wound. However, as he approached closer, Christian’s voice was heard again.
“Don’t go near her.”
The doctor immediately stopped in his place.
How could he treat her from a distance?
He thought for a long time but couldn’t find the answer, so he turned and asked the butler for help.
The butler also looked surprised and confused. He still didn’t understand what Christian wanted.
“Do it quickly!”
Christian urged the doctor in a cold voice. He moved to the sofa in his room and sat there watching the doctor’s every move.
He didn’t want anyone else to touch his toy.
The doctor’s hands were shaking as he looked at Ella. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and finally got up the courage to ask Christian. “Sir, if I don’t come closer, I won’t be able to treat this lady’s wound. It looks like the wound is quite serious and requires...”
A cold gaze immediately swept across his figure, causing the doctor to stop talking and stand up tensely.
“Serious?”
“Yes...” the doctor’s voice turned quieter. “If you’re worried, I suggest sending her to the hospital for a check-up. I’m afraid there’s a concussion...”
“What’s the probability?”
“The odds are pretty high...”
Christian squinted disgruntledly at the doctor’s uncertain answer. “I asked for the exact possibility.”
“Ah,” the doctor looked surprised and immediately answered, “75%”
After that, another long silence filled the room.
The doctor felt his robes getting more and more wet from his own sweat.
Today, Christian was really scary.
The butler in the room also didn’t dare raise his head to look at Christian. The two of them could only wait for Christian to give his order in silence.
Ella, who was still asleep, muttered incoherently again. The word that could be heard from her mouth was simply “asylum”.
A mental hospital...
Christian looked at the woman lying on his bed with a deep gaze.
Nobody knew what he was thinking at this moment, but suddenly he got up and left the room.
The doctor and butler in the room immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But after that, they looked confused again.
Could he treat this woman?
The doctor looked at the butler behind him and finally saw him nod. “Miss Ella’s position in Mr. Christian’s heart is very important. Have you ever seen any woman he brought to his house?”
“I...” the doctor thought carefully. Touching his chin, he said, “Could it be that he is starting to fall in love?”
They both had worked for Christian for so long that they knew the man very well.
Christian had never been in a relationship with any woman so far.
“Perhaps...”
“Are you guys so interested in my business?” The cold voice that came from the door scared the doctor to the point of almost falling. He immediately took out the disinfectant and cotton swabs to treat Ella’s wound carefully.
Meanwhile, the butler could only lower his head, as if to let him know that he was not interfering in this matter.
Seeing everything in front of him, Christian felt uneasy. He came back because he wanted to make sure that the doctor treated Ella’s head wound. He didn’t think he would hear the conversation between the doctor and his butler.
Did he really care about Ella?
Christian’s eyes looked darker and his lips curled into a cold smile.
She’s just a woman who caught his attention for a while. Why should she think about her any further?
One day, he would get tired of this woman and get rid of her with money.
After all, Ella also admired him for his power.
The doctor touched Ella’s head and wanted to apply a bandage when Ella suddenly opened her eyes.
She looked at the familiar room, the room she had slept in for the past few days. Unknowingly, her eyes immediately narrowed because the room was so bright. She tried to raise her hands to cover the blinding light, but she felt her muscles were weak and powerless.
Her body was really tired.
She looked around and finally realized there was a doctor in the room. “You...”
Ella immediately curled up, as if it was her spontaneous reaction when she saw a doctor.
The doctor frowned upon seeing that reaction, thinking that Ella felt her body uncomfortable. “Do you feel sick anywhere? Do you feel dizzy?”
Even though the doctor asked in a very friendly manner, Ella’s reaction was still so tense, it was as if she was denying his existence.
A letter saying that she was insane five years ago had been issued by the hospital and announced to the media.
She knew that these people were being threatened by Haikal. But her heart seemed unable to forget what happened.
“I am fine. Please don’t come any closer,” Ella said quickly.
She snuggled deeper into the bed and tried to get away, but her body was too weak. Finally, she said with a little panic, “Please get out of here.”
“Miss, I just want to treat you,” the doctor explained carefully. He could see that Ella was terrified by his presence.
It was the first time he and Ella had met and the doctor’s face wasn’t too bad. She shouldn’t be afraid of him.
Unless this woman was afraid of everything about the doctor that reminded her of her past...
