Betrothed To The Mafia Lord novel Chapter 62

The man crouched down, almost in the same spot Luca had crouched down in and I felt my body start to stiffen up a little. I watched as Luca stood right in the spot he had crouched down in, minutes ago, his hands deep in his pocket and his eyes staring down at me – making me notice once again, just how big and tall he was at the moment.

I had no idea if I was going to be as tall as he was if I stood up on the couch– that was how small I was compared to him.

“Hello, Mrs Luca.” The man who had crouched down before me started to speak and I focused my eyes on him once again, feeling a light color of embarrassment start to flood my cheeks at being referred to as ‘Mrs Luca’ in the presence of Luca himself.

“Hello,” I whispered to the man in reply, sucking in a sharp, audible breath when something squeezed in the lower part of my abdomen painfully.

“How are you feeling now?” The man asked and I stared at him quietly, wasn’t it obvious to him that I was hurting at the moment?

“My bad, I’m so sorry, ma’am.” The man started to say as he breathed out a small laugh with a small wave of his petty left hand, right before he started to say again, “I didn’t introduce myself to you, ma’am. My name’s Tyler Creed and I am a doctor, more like the family doctor of Mr Ricci.” The man introduced himself to me this time, pointing towards Luca at the end of his sentence and I nodded my head at him, everything about him being here at the moment, starting to make a lot more sense.

I nodded my head to him in confirmation that I had indeed grabbed all what he had said a moment ago, and then he started to say after a few more seconds of him staring at something in his book.

“How are you feeling at the moment? What’s going on with your body now?” The stranger— Tyler, asked once again and I huffed out a small breath before bringing both my hands to rest on my thighs where I started tweedling with my fingers almost immediately.

“My stomach hurts, really badly.” I started to say and he nodded his head encouragingly before continuing again. “It’s a constant pain or it comes and goes? Where exactly is it hurting? Every part of your stomach? Wh–“ The doctor started to ask again, throwing countless questions at me all at once, that I didn’t know what one to answer first, but then Luca cut him off before he could continue to throw more questions at me.

“Slow down with the questions, Tyler.”

Tyler took a deep breath and let it out slowly before glancing up at me once again, “I’m so sorry if I had overwhelmed you a moment ago with a bunch of questions all at once.” He apologized abashedly and I shook my head almost immediately.

“No, no. It’s fine.” I said to him in the next second, my heart still stuttering a little all because Luca had come in and stopped Tyler from overwhelming me– because he actually was overwhelming me with the bunch of questions he had thrown at me at the same time.

“Thank you, ma’am.” Tyler said and I flushed in embarrassment, biting the inside of my right cheek to stop myself from blurting out the fact that he could just refer to me as ‘Sofia’ since I was still an eighteen year old girl, and way younger than him, for him to be referring to with so much respect.

“So, about the questions…” Tyler started to say again and I nodded my head at him before taking it up from there.

“Yeah, my stomach hurts… the pain is moving around my whole stomach, it’s not just at a particular spot. It’s biting and stabbing at every part of my stomach.” I informed him and watched as he jotted something down on his book before staring up at me.

“Every part feels like different pains are stabbing into them all at once?” He started to ask again and I shook my head at him, raising my left fingers to caress my forehead when the side of my head started to throb once again.
