Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 332

James pov

“What do you mean ‘no one’?” I snapped after a few moments and watched as she jolted a little.

“I meant I have no one to call.” She responded almost immediately and I scoffed.

“What do you mean by that? How is that possible?” I paused. “Don’t you have any best friends you could call?” I asked and watched as she slowly shook her head.

“Family members?” I asked and noticed her swallowing emptily before shaking her head.

“Bullshit.” I responded while levering her with a pointed look. The doctor came into the room almost immediately and I turned to him as I began to speak.

“Did you get the phone she had on with her? There must be the number of someone that could be reached.”

The doctor shook his head. “She wasn’t with a phone when she got brought here. I glanced at her with a pointed look and she watched as she huffed out a small breath as she spoke. “I left my phone back at home.

“Great, just great. And where’s this ‘home’?”

“Around.” She responded and I leveled her with a pointed look until she averted her gaze.

I turned back to the doctor who was flipping through the sheets he had with him. “So, the reason why she had fainted and why it had taken long for her to wake up, was because of her malnourished state.”

I glanced at her after a moment and noticed the prominence of the bones in her neck, and then back at the doctor who was still speaking.

“And dehydration, along with stress. Her blood pressure was also quite high, which means she had probably been doing a lot of thinking.” The doctor continued and that was the exact moment that I felt a small pang of concern for the stranger — Blair.

Which completely took me by surprise at first, because it wasn’t like I knew who she was or something, coupled with the fact that she had completely ruined my day and schedules yesterday.

“Her medication isn’t complete yet, but she’d be ready to leave in a few days time.” The doctor was saying after a few moments and that was when She was finally speaking.

“What? A couple of days? I’m leaving today.” Her voice was filled with so much panic when she spoke and the doctor glanced at me in a silent question. I gestured for him to step out and in no time, I was left alone with her once again.

I moved towards the bed which she was still on and stopped a few inches away from her, as I began to speak.

“Why were you dehydrated and malnourished?” I asked, the question slipping out before I could even notice.

“That wasn’t the reason why I fainted.” Was her response and I blinked down at her.

“It wasn’t?” I folded my hands. “Okay, what was the reason then?” She remained silent after that, and it didn’t seem like she was going to respond to me after a few moments had passed.

“Look,” I paused until she was staring at me. “You’re staying here until after the doctor declares you free to leave.” I continued.

“No, I can’t. I’m leaving today.” She argued and i scowled at her instantly.
