Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Chapter 118 - The Injured Boy

Charlie gulped. He was not scared of her threatening glare that he found to be as harmless as a bunny. But he found what she said true. They agreed to avoid talking Rose while Liam was still unconscious because they did not want him to get worse since Rose was not in good state.

"I am not stupid to say anything that will make him get worse," Leah said glancing back at the glass room. "We all want the best for him."

Charlie did not comment on what Leah just said. He sat down the sofa he just stood up from and snapped his fingers. The curtains behind the glass wall of the room moved and the once transparent wall of the glass room was covered by the white curtains.

Leah gave him a small smile before walking out the room. She looked at her wristwatch and moaned. She had to go five floors below to check on the princess's cousin who almost lost his life few days ago. Liam was not awake to give orders concerning matters like that so all they could do was take the boy in and wait until Liam wakes up.

They had a meeting concerning the two brothers and concluded that it was only a pure coincidence that the boys were placed in life threatening situations in just a week since the boys have been living their lives recklessly.

The boy who lost the use of his legs was more reasonable when compared to his brother. The police found nothing but after carrying out their own investigation, they found out his motorcycle was tampered with. The boy would have died but he escaped death while losing the use of legs.

His brother got beaten up by a gang he associated himself with when he claimed he wanted to leave. According to them, it was a tradition and after investigations, they discovered it was really a tradition.

Since Liam became the strongest and most powerful Mafia Boss and earned his name as the Mafia King, he made sure to diffuse a lot of gangs in Star city and things have been calm except for the Royal University where he was yet to win over as part of his territory. Rose got attacked around the Royal University. The two brothers too got injured close to the Royal University.

"Dr. Leah," the boy's eyes brightened when Leah walked in.

She smiled at him gracefully. His eyes were bright and excited. He seemed to have gotten really attached to Leah after only meeting her three days ago.

She knew she had a strong powerful magnet that pulled people to her but this boy seemed a lot more excited to see than she have seen since Rose returned home two weeks ago.

"I wanted to ask you a question," the boy said when she walked into the room.

"Okay," she said walking to his bed where he sat with left leg in a cast. He had bruises around in different parts of his body and a long dressed wound on his arm from his wrist to his biceps.

"Can you make my brother walk again?" he asked for the tenth time since he came.

"I don't yet. We are yet to find out. He might not make progress but we intend to try to make him get better as time goes," she explained also for the tenth time.

"I want him to walk again," he said sadly. He was a year younger than Rose. He behaved a lot younger than his age most of the time and the others, he was a stubborn teenager.

"I also want him to walk again. Did you check him today?" Leah asked observing him. He was way better than he was when he arrived in the hospital.

When he arrived, was unconscious due to lose of blood from the long wound on his arm. They said the boys who beat him up were scared that he got so seriously injured and ran away due to fear of getting arrested.

The boy looked down at his fingers. He looked a lot younger with the sad look he wore. "I did. I am sure he does not want to see me. My mother came to visit us," the boy told her sadly.

"Shouldn't you be happy about that?" Leah asked.

"Of course I should but she hardly spoke to me and went to spend the rest of the time with my brother. I know I was the bad boy but my brother was not always good either," the boy said and paused. After a while, he continued, "I must be thinking too much. I am being punished right now. Sometimes I still wish I got more injured than my brother."

"You feel confused because everything happened too fast. You know your brother getting injured will make you the next heir and that means you will have to be a part of the royal council that was why you wanted to change. You got seriously injured when you tried to change. The emotions from each of the incidents are making you confused," Leah told him her analysis.

"That is right," the boy agreed immediately. "You love your brother but you also got injured because he got injured. You need to rest for a while. As soon as things get better, you and your brother will get along as usual. You two will go back to being two happy brothers," Leah tried to encourage the boy.

"We were happy but we were not very close. He spends most of his time with my dad or with his friends," the boy replied shaking his head sadly.

"You can become closer then," Leah said with an encouraging smile. She just confirmed something important. This boy was definitely not the child the family loved most.

"Do you have a child?" the boy asked interested. He liked the way Leah's eyes slightly widened at his question and she slowly smiled proudly.

"Yes, a boy. He is a year older than you," Leah replied easily. She wanted the boy to feel more at ease with her since she will be getting more information from him.
