Forbidden Heat novel Chapter 300

A few weeks had past and I felt healthier than before the incident occurred. For me, that was a big problem and I thought endlessly about how to appear less healthy. Perhaps, I should fake some illness or condition…

What am I thinking? I sound like a crazy person…

Today was supposed to be a big day because the doctor is coming to see me from the hospital. Feeling concerned for my safety, Lucien had arranged for the doctor to come see me at home rather than for me to go to the hospital. I guess with enough money, you could order for most things to happen.

Since returning home from the hospital, which was almost a month ago, I have never left home. It wasn’t allowed. At first, I was depressed and dead bored and then I started to enjoy spending my days with Reiner. However, I was starting to yearn for my freedom once again. I mean, what will it take for me to step one foot outside of this property?

“The doctor is here to see you, Natalia,” Reiner announced as he entered my bedroom.

Just what I had been waiting for. Perhaps if the doctor says that I’m fine, I’ll have a basis for my case of going outside. Sure, that didn’t solve the safety issue but wasn’t that why Reiner is with me for?

“Let’s go,” I said as I got up and walked towards my bedroom door.

The doctor was waiting in the living room to see me. He seemed kind and helpful as always. I sucked in a deep breath and prayed that everything would go well. After asking about how I was feeling and some basic inspections, the doctor nodded with satisfaction.

“You seem well. As I can see your injuries have all healed up well as well. So far there doesn’t seem to be any problems. The nurse will now take some sample of your blood to perform some tests, if that’s ok with you?” the doctor said smoothly before smiling kindly at me.

“Yes. Thank you, doctor,” I replied obediently.

If the result of the blood tests turns out fine as well then, I should be a step closer to my freedom. If I couldn’t convince Lucien to let me out yet, at least, I could start by convincing Reiner. If I could convince him then perhaps more than half the battle would have been won already.

I looked over at Reiner who was standing a short distance away to give the doctor and nurse some space to work. He was watching me closely, and I could feel his concern.

“Do you think I’m fit enough to go outside, and you know…live life as normal now?” I asked.

“Of course. There’s nothing seriously wrong so you can go outside. Exercise is also fine but just rest if you feel you’re too tired,” the doctor said affirmatively.

I glanced over at Reiner to make sure that he had heard the doctor’s positive comments. Reiner just shook his head softly at me and refused to comment. I sighed softly as I tried not to feel depressed.

…

**Knock Knock**

That evening, I knocked on his door as I stood in front of it. Before I could knock for the third time, the door flew open, and Reiner was standing in front of me. I guess that I’ve visited his room in the evening so often over the past month that he was probably half expecting me to knock on his door.

“You’re here again…” he stated flatly.

“Yea…” I mumbled in reply.

“What’s wrong?” Reiner asked.
