Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 352

The truth was, he had no idea why Austyn sent the bodyguards. 

Nor did he know why Boss stayed away from the hospital. 

He was clearly worried about Kira, but he refused to visit her. 

All the assistant could do was follow his orders. 

‘Young Madam, please bear with it. It’s just for a few days more till you recover. Then you can go home.” 

Kira gave up when she knew she couldn’t get any more out of Kai. 

‘Austyn’s locking me up,‘ she thought, upset. 

Was this his way of punishing her for going out with another man? 

Kira bit her bottom lip. 

This was worse than the silent treatment he used to mete out as punishment. 

Jesse poked and prodded at Austyn’s shoulder. 

The man bore it in silence. 

“Will you stop with that glare?‘ Jesse teased. ‘I’m your doctor, not your debtor.” 

He changed Austyn’s bandage and gave him a pat: “All set. The wound is healing along nicely. You don’t have to come in tomorrow. 

Austyn gave no reply. 

Jesse poked the bandage again. ‘Really? It doesn’t hurt? How about this?” 

He jabbed a finger at the centre of the wound. 

Austyn picked up a scalpel from the tray nearby and twirled it between his fingers. 

Jesse got the message and withdrew his hand. 

‘I was just checking to see if the bandage’s too tight…Give me that scalpel. It’s sharp. Careful, you might hurt yourself.” 

Piss On The Brothers‘ Graves 

Austyn tossed the scalpel back onto the tray. 

He stood up. ‘How’s her arm?” 

“Who?” 

Dot For Fall 

Don’t For Fall It 

‘Don’t play dumb with me. 

Jesse smirked. ‘If you want to know, why don’t you go and have a look for yourself? Her ward’s just one floor above. 

Austyn just stared at him 

The doctor shrugged. ‘It’s just a bruise. She’s going to be fine. In fact, she could leave the hospital right now if she wants. I don’t see the point of her staying here anyway. It’s a bruise on a shoulder, not an amputation.” 

Austyn put on his suit jacket. 

Jesse opened his desk drawer, removed a pack of cigarettes and extracted one. ‘You want?” 

‘Since when do doctors hand out cigarettes to patients?” 

Saying so, Austyn took the cigarette anyway. 

“By the way, when are you going to recall those bodyguards of yours? They’re scaring both the patients and the nurses. If they want to get from one end of the hallway to the other, they take a detour through my floor.” 

“Walking more is good for their health, Austyn said simply. ‘Aids in their recovery.” 

it your wife’s bandage needs tending to Who’s going to do that when no nurse can come within five metres of her room? 

“But 

“The bodyguards will let the nurse in,‘ Austyn said, ‘if they have legitimate business being there.” 

“What if something happens and a nurse can’t get to her in time because your bodyguards are blocking the door?” Jesse said deliberately. 

‘What can happen? You said it’s a bruise.” 

“Who knows. Adverse reaction to medication, maybe. Or she could slip and fall in the bathroom.” 

Austyn knitted his brows. 

He was about to suggest putting a nurse in Kira’s room full–time, but he checked himself. 

He was still angry at her. 

He shouldn’t care this much about her. 

‘Is this about Liam Cane? Jesse asked. 

“How’d you know?” 

“I heard some of it from Kai. What did 

id he do this time?! 

When Austyn didn’t reply, Jesse continued. The man must have a death wish. I don’t understand why he keeps provoking you.” 

‘This is him doing it again,‘ he said. ‘He approached Kira on purpose.” 

He watched Austyn’s inscrutable face. 

No reaction. 

‘Your wife probably doesn’t know the history between you and Liam. Maybe she just sees the man as an acquaintance. This really isn’t her fault, you know.” 

Austyn stood in front of the open window, dragging on his cigarette. 

He was well aware of what Jesse sald, but he just couldn’t put the kiss out of his mind. 

His wife and his enemy, kissing in public. 

While 

he was in the car across the street, 

He started seeing red just thinking about it. 

“It’s Liam’s game,” Jesse said. ‘He did it to drive a wedge between you and Kira. Don’t fall for it. If you do, he wins.” 

Austyn ground out the cigarette butt in an ashtray. 

He just nodded at the doctor and left Jesse’s office without a word. 

Dante 

‘Did the man even listen to me? Jesse watched Austyn’s back, muttering to himself. 

Then he shook his head. ‘Why do I even bother?” 

Despite his bloodshot eyes, Austyn still cut a striking figure in his black Dolce & Gabbana suit and Edward Green Piccadilly leather penny loafers. 

The only thing that seemed a little out of place was the retro–looking watch on his left wrist. 

Female nurses fixed their hair and smoothed out their uniforms as he walked past, while male nurses grudgingly admired the man’s expensive outfit and muscular physique. 

Austyn strode past the nurses‘ station without a backward glance. 

He had left Jesse’s office and gone to the lift. 

But after he got in, instead of pressing B2 for the basement carpark, he pressed the button for one floor above. 

Before he figured out what he was thinking, his legs had carried him to this floor. 

The two bodyguards snapped to attention when they noticed Austyn approaching 

‘Boss.” 

He gave a slight nod and stopped in front of the door. 

One of the bodyguards, anxious to please, reached for the doorknob. 

‘No.‘ Austyn gestured for him to stand back.
