Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 280

“You mean that…you don’t think that it was an accident?” I asked, showing my shock.

“It could be…but the probability of it being a mere accident is quite low. Regardless, when these things happen to a family member, it is the family’s responsibility to investigate it,” Lucien explained sternly.

“Let’s not burden her with these issues. She’s still recovering,” Edward said sternly.

“I’ve got a surprise for you,” Lucien said, and I could feel his warm hand on my shoulder.

“Really? What is it?” I asked, curiously.

“Umm…Miss Natalia…”

I heard a familiar voice and I smiled immediately.

“Laura! That’s you, right?” I said excitedly.

“Yes, Miss,” Laura replied shyly.

“From today onwards, Laura will be here to help take care of you…and of course, to keep you company,” Lucien announced.

“That’s great but honestly, when I can go home? It’s so boring here. There’s nothing for me to do,” I grumbled.

The men just laughed like it was very funny.

“A few more days, Natalia. Please try to hang in there,” Edward said.

I let out depressing sigh. A few more days it is then…

…

Later that day, I heard the sound of the door opening and then closing and figured that someone had entered the room. Since I was sure that the three guys had left the hospital already, the visitor must be Laura or a member of the hospital staff.

I sat up in bed curiously as I waited for the person who had just entered to say something or to at least alert me of their presence; however, the person did not say anything even after I had waited for a while. The room was quiet as if I was alone and that made me start to doubt whether I had just imagined the whole thing just now.

Maybe…no one entered the room or anything…

“Laura…is that you?” I asked. It surely sucks not being able to see anything.

There was no reply. There was no sound at all. Honestly, that left me slightly freaked out. However, I decided to try again…

If it isn’t Laura then…
