A Cue for Love Chapter 1211âLucien was startled for a brief moment.
Clenching her fists, Frieda shook her head as she heaved a sigh. He canât even care about his leg injury, yet heâs thinking about Natalie?
âDr. Dalton, why arenât you responding?â
âPrince Jonathan, let me check on your leg wound before I tell you more.â
Lucien checked the wound on Bastienâs thigh and re applied medicine before changing his dressing.
Throughout all, Bastien was not at all concerned about his injury. Instead, he was anxious for Lucien to quickly finish examining his injury and tell him about Natalieâs condition.
After examining the leg wound, Bastien eagerly probed, âDr. Dalton, now that youâre done with the examination, c-can you tell me⦠how is Natalie?â
âMs. Nichols is fine, but the injury on her shoulder is recovering rather slowly because of her malnutrition and overexertion. She needs to get more rest and increase her nutrient intake from now on to get fully recovered. Itâs just thatâ¦â Lucien paused slightly before continuing, âShe was taken away from Luna Palace by her husband yesterday evening. It seems like her husband is skilled in medicine and could take good care of her too. Thereâs no need to worry too much, Prince Jonathanâ¦â
With that said, Lucien got up and left after offering a bow.
On the bed, Bastien froze in place as an overwhelming swirl of emotions flooded his mind.
He was undoubtedly relieved to learn that Natalie was safe and sound. Yet, on the other hand, he could not bring himself to stay unbothered about the fact that Samuel had taken Natalie with him away from Luna Palace.
The woman he vowed to protect for his entire life had become his younger sister from another mother.
It was beyond his imagination that such an absurd situation that frequently occurred in dramas and novels would actually happen to him.
âBastien, listen. You should stop thinking about Natalieâ¦â Frieda sounded concerned. âYou two arenât fated to be together. No matter how deeply in love you are, thereâs no wayââ
However, Bastien agitatedly argued, âMother, this is Geertâs scheme. Heâs trying to deceive us! Thereâs no way Natalie is my sister!â
âWhy are you still in denial, Bastien?â
At the sight of what the son she had always been proud of had turned into, Frieda found the reality unbearable for her to accept.
Bastien is the most potential candidate to take over the kingâs throne. But heâs giving up on himself now and doesnât even pay attention to care about his injury Dr. Dalton has specifically warned that thereâs a possibility Bastien might become cripple if he doesnât take proper care of his injuryâ¦
As those thoughts raced in her mind, Frieda could not help but cover her face with her hand and start weeping.
Mikhail, who coincidentally came to visit Bastien, happened to witness the scene of Frieda sobbing pathetically while Bastien was bellowing hysterically.
Without hesitation, Mikhail walked up to Bastien, raised his hand, and slapped the latter across his face.
The force of the hit was so brutal it left Bastienâs head tilted to the side.
Bastien remained in that spot for a long time without moving a muscle.
âWhy are you so stubborn, Bastien?â Mikhail appeared furious as he pointed at his son. âHow dare you keep it a secret from me? Youâre so daring to play such a trick! If Geert hadnât betrayed you, do you know you wouldâve committed an irredeemable mistake?â
âIsnât this your fault?â
âMy fault?â
Lifting his head, Bastien sneered disdainfully.
âSister? Of all the people, why is it her? Why must it be her?â
âBastien, what kind of answer do you wish to hear thatâd quell your hatred?â Mikhail was harsh with his words. âWhether you accept it or not, itâs a fact that sheâs your sister! While I understand that itâs difficult for you to accept the reality of the situation when you just learned about it, I canât fathom why youâd rather be oblivious and disregard the truth when you know what it is!â
Mikhailâs authoritative and domineering voice rang out like thunder, and every word hit Bastien in his chest mercilessly.
âStop pushing the blame on someone else. Yes, what I did twenty years ago was a sin. But arenât you committing a sin right now as well?â
