Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 276

“I bet you already know who’s behind this,” Edward said, his tone evidently darkened.

“I do. Unfortunately, I don’t have any solid proof,” Zak said followed by an exasperated sigh.

“This is precisely why I hate this family. Enemies are lurking all around us,” Edward hissed.

“It’s my fault. All of this is my fault,” Zak said as if he was speaking to himself and his own demons.

“Now now, don’t be too harsh on yourself. I’m sure Natalia will wake up in no time. That girl is stronger than you think,” Edward said as he tried to cheer up both Zak and himself.

“Let’s send her away…” Zak whispered so softly that Edward had trouble hearing him.

“…What?” Edward said in confusion and disbelief.

“…nothing…” Zak mumbled his reply.

Edward watched in confusion as Zak turned to leave without saying another word. He didn’t think that he misheard what Zak said but what could he have meant by sending Natalia away? Zak is a mystery and there’s no doubt about that.

…

**Later that night**

It was a peaceful night with a full moon. Natalia remained unconscious in her hospital bed with the curtains of the room’s windows parted, letting in just enough moonlight to illuminate the room. The hospital ward was dead silent at night, especially the private floor for VVIP patients that Natalia was on.

Slowly and softly, the door to her hospital room opened and a very tall man entered her room, walking expertly on silent footsteps. The door closed behind him, and they were the only ones in the tranquil hospital room.

The man made his way to her bed immediately, taking care not to make a sound that would wake her up. Even though he knew that she was unconscious he was taking extra care not to make any sounds that would disturb her. The moonlight and the light the various monitors and machines hooked up to Natalia’s body, provided enough lighting for the man to see quite clearly.

He did not make a move to turn on the lights in the room, he could see well enough. However, he didn’t like what he was seeing as he stood close to the side of Natalia’s bed. The moonlight shone on her unconscious form on the hospital bed and the sight of her body tore at his heart.
