Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 40: Suspicion

Davis doubt lingered as Ethan pushed to the sdoor Jessica has just exited HOD physiotherapy. The

important guest Bella was expecting was actually Davis.

Ethan adjusted his suit properly glancing at himself briefly before he raised his hand to knock on the door. Bella's

soft voice filtered through the slightly open door "Cin", she answered followed by the flipping sound of

papers.

Ethan pushed in the door wide enough and gently pushed Davis into the room. Davis heart skipped a bit, the

familiar faint lavender scent lingered in the air. Davis suspicion widened more.

"Good day Ms. Edward", Ethan greeted with a polite smile as he stretched his hand for a handshake.

"Good day Assistant Ethan", she smiled lightly, her dimples visible and her eyes as clear as water. Ethan felt his

heart skip a beat and he quickly retracted his hand, Davis smiled lightly with a knowing look.

"Please take a seat", Bella said as she pointed to the couch. She returned to a side corner in her office and

quickly prepared tea for them. Carrying the tea to her guest she gently and cautiously set it down.

Davis looked at the lady before him so many thoughts going on in his mind. How good it will be if he can get to

know her through this lady.

"Dr. Bella, based on our discussion we are here for the examination and to discuss the possible measures to

ensure he gets back on his feet in the next possible time", Ethan said.

Bella nodded as gracefully arise from her seat and walked over to Davis, she felt the legs made sdeductions

on her discovery before she stepped back and returned to her seat in silent.

"Is there any solution?" Ethan asked anxiousness tinged in his voice as he looked at Bella with a gaze that

demands not to be disappointed.

Bella sighed, she has expected Jessica will handle this client but that girl slipped out with an unnecessary

excuse. Davis observed the changes in her expression and felt his heart in his throat.

"Well, | have gone through the medical report you sent in. | have also accessed the situation of the leg and...."

The sharp ring of Davis phone interrupted the discussion. Davis promised to deal with the idiot but then —his

eyes flashed in surprise at the phone number.

Without any delay, he picked it up. "Hello, who is this?" Jessica voice filtered through the phone speaker.

"What's up?" Davis queried. He is not surprised she will call to ask who he is. Last night, he has quietly used her

fingerprint to unlock her phone and typed in his phone number into her phone. He used it to call his and then

saved hers.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Jessica need not to be told whom the fellow is. The voice has always been as

clear as day in her ears and the familiarity is too noticeable to ignore.

"Okay, see you when return", she smirked. Davis glanced at the phonecall that ended abruptly as it cin and

sighed, a faint smile on his lips as he imagined her angry face because he touched her phone.

Lifting his gaze to Bella who had kept silent due to the call that cin "Dr. Please continue", he muttered. He

already had a conviction in his heart that it is impossible but —its better they heard from her.

"Well, based on the reports available with us, | am sorry | can’t help you but may be | could refer you to someone

else". She said with a painful glance. She has to abide by her professional ethic and wouldn’t want to mislead

them.

He felt sorry for the handsman who had fallen into this predicament. Ethan’s shoulder sagged, it had taken

him a while to locate this doctor since doctor Sica has been elusive for the past three months and her location

unknown.

Davis nodded lightly, he is not disappointed or angry. He had cto terms with the result since he agreed to

try making his marriage to Jessica work. Maybe, just may be she could be happier if he is able to stand.

"Doctor, you don’t have to feel sorry for me", he said indifferently.

Bella couldn't explain her heartache for him.... A god amongst men yet tied to a wheelchair the world is really

not fair.

"Miss Edward, it seems you love lavender?" He queried with a glint of purpose in his eyes.

Bella smiled lightly, her expression filled with adoration, care and love. She shook her head in denial "Not really

but my good friend loves it so much. She said it calms the body and soul", she rattled.

"Your good friend?" Davis asked.

"Yes, we have known each other for a quite a long...long time", she chimed as her gaze steadied on an empty

space seemingly recalling incidents of the past.

Davis was happy, the day’s trip hadn't been in vain. "What's her name? Since | don’t know her in person may be

her nwill suffix".

Bella nodded in agreement, there is

She explained with anger and frustration laced in her tone, a clear indication of how far her family had gone in

causing her pain.

Davis nodded in understanding, the pain he felt from his family’s betrayal gave him a better idea.

"What does she do for a living?" He queried lightly.

Bella averted her gaze, Davis noticed the aversion and felt their is more to this than he might have guessed.

"Well, her work isn’t something you should care about." She replied.
