Chapter 187 Happy birthday!!
Melissa sat on the hospital bed as Nathaniel checked her physical stats, the man was grinning and whistling as he examined her.
“You have a very annoying voice,” Melissa noted.
“Thank you,” Nathaniel replied. “I have missed lots of my voice training classes because you guys, I expect a kind of commendation award,” he said.
Melissa giggled as Beatrice walked over and whacked him a paper on the neck. “If Luna says to keep quiet, you keep quiet,” she said.
Nathaniel groaned and Melissa chuckled. This was the sixth day since the event with Harkov, and since then Melissa had been in the hospital since then. She spent three days before Nathaniel allowed her visitors. He was working throughout those days with the palace's head doctor.
Melissa didn't really know how she got to the palace, she'd fainted in the arms of Beatrice and had been carried home one way or the other. She came to life the second day and she only saw Nathaniel for the first few days. After a while he allowed her visitors but only one visitor per session. Even though she felt alright he claimed any unnecessary stress can actually send her into shock and he can't risk her having unnecessary visitors and it jolting her senses.
Melissa wasn't necessarily worried and didn't even spare a thought about it but the only thing that bothered her was the fact that Richard hadn't showed up to see her once. She asked Beatrice on several occasions if he was okay and the woman had replied to her positively. Now it was high time to actually deal with herself and not worry about Richard.
“So, when is Richard showing up?” She asked.
“He is okay,” Beatrice said. “I am going to ditch you with the silly doctor if you keep asking about him,” she said.
“So you are saying not to worry when my boyfriend…” she paused. “Fiance wouldn't come to see me after I have actually been unconscious for days, doesn't that show that he doesn't care about me or is he in a worse state than me… tell me something,” Melissa pestered.
“I don't know about those, but he has been working all day and when I told him you were awake, he nodded,” Beatrice said.
“Just nod?” Melissa asked
“Yes, just nod,”she replied.
Melissa jumped down from her bed immediately and Nathaniel tried to push her back to the bed but she glared at him. “Do not touch me,” she said. Then she felt the room start to grow cold.
She glanced at Beatrice who was gesturing her to sit. She complied at last and laid on the bed. “But I didn't think I did anything wrong, why would he want to see me?” Melissa asked.
“I don't know maybe he found another woman, or maybe there is actually a genuine reason and you need to be completely okay to figure out why,” Beatrice said.
Melissa shook her head and just laid on the bed throughout the day.
After three days she was released from the hospital and she was already in perfect shape. She was guided to her room by Beatrice and as it would seem, Her original room had been locked up and her things had been moved down to her brother's room, just as she'd always wanted it but had never really thought of doing. Whoever did the room's arrangement knew her so much.
Who did this?” Melissa asked. She said as he entered the room. Every single object was placed exactly where she would want to place it and the wallpapers were exactly what she loved. What moved her the most was that there were materials she genuinely wouldn't want to have thrown out of her brother's room before. All of it was placed here and they were even arranged in the angles she wanted them.
“What the hell?” She exclaimed when she saw her bathroom too. It was exactly to her liking, she turned around and glanced at Beatrice. “Who actually did this?”
“Richard and the girls monitored it,” she said. “They hired workers,” Beatrice said.
“Where is everyone?” Melissa asked.
“Oh, that is right,” Beatrice began. “You need to change and put on some clothes quickly,” she said.
“Why is that?”
“We are heading out,” she said.
“Out?” She asked. “Where are we going?”
“It is always a question with you isn't it?” She said. “Get dressed.”
Melissa quickly went to the bathroom and had a quick bath before changing into new clothes and they headed out. Beatrice kept on giggling to her as they got driven out of the palace by Eric who just bowed to her like he didn't really know her. She knew something was up since Richard didn't come to see her but she couldn't tell what was.
“Where are we going?”
“Just keep quiet. Do you trust your truest friend?” Beatrice asked and she nodded. “Good,”
She was silent throughout the ride and at last they reached the spot. A building that Melissa was very familiar with. It was an event center mostly but it held a few political balls and after that it was abandoned due to her father building a hall for such within the palace itself. “So, the guys did a renovation to this place, so they wanted me to bring you here,” she said.
“Huh?” Melissa asked.
Beatrice didn't reply to her but rushed forward and entered the building. Melissa followed and the moment she stepped in, she stepped into a well of darkness and she couldn't see anything. “Beatrice?” She called.
She only heard footsteps. “Beatrice?” She called again and the footsteps increased.
Melissa took one step backward but the door shut behind her and she yelled as she did the lights flickered on and she glanced up to see everyone, including Hance and Arya staring at her with a ball of confetti in their hand. They threw it up and screamed. “Happy Birthday!”
Melissa exhaled and just chuckled as Richard walked up to her. “Sorry for delaying,” he said and swept her in a kiss.
