Chapter 4

"But Clara, you can't just let this poor asshole harass us this way, he wouldn't ever have respect for us and you in particular no matter who you later become!" Linn emphasized. 

She kept insisting that her daughter do something. "It's not a small position, being a Duchess!"

With time, Clara's anger was fuming. It increased as her mother was talking more to her. "Mom, you don't need to worry, I'll handle this. Take Fred to the nearest clinic, then the physiotherapist will take care of his condition."

Linn was now happy, she could now go away with her son. While they went away, she picked up her phone to call Leo, her ex-husband. This call hit Leo while he was inside the car with the Princess, Melissa.

Melissa was such a free person, she gestured to him to pick the call with a smile. He was surprised by this gesture. He tapped on the accept button.

"Hello, why are you calling me now?" His voice was stern and filled with disgust.

"Heyy, listen to me. If you want good and not trouble, you call my mom now, ask for her location and go there right now and kneel and apologize to them."

He laughed at the kneel. "And if I don't, what will happen?" He didn't waste time to reply. 

"Gosh! You're proving stubborn?" 

"Well, I think you're just kidding!" He chuckled with a great sarcastic tone. "You weren't like this, Clara. Who changed you?" 

"Because I've changed," she curtly said. 

"Sorry to say so, I've likely changed too." 

Clara gasped at Leo's boldness. 

Shock and irritation took over Clara as the person she was talking to wasn't even bothered at all. 

"Next time filter out some statements from your mouth before you spit them out, I'm not the kind of man you use to treat so badly!" Leo knew this would really hurt his ex-wife, he repeated one of her statements in a proud way, then ended the call.

"What the fuck! Leo has the audacity to end my call! Has he forgotten who I am?"

"I'll surely teach him a lesson!" She dropped her phone into her bag, then walked up her car murmuring with anger to herself.

When the call was done, Melissa began to speak to her.

"Was that your ex-wife?" She asked with a grin. Leo was glad she couldn't get to hear all the shit Clara said to him.

"Yes, your highness!"

"Call me Melissa!" Leo was surprised but he had no option other than to comply.

"Yes, she once told me you are excellent at mental healing."

"Who?" He got shocked. 

"Your wife," Melissa jerked her head to the left. "But that was almost three months ago, she spoke so nicely of you, I wonder why she would have to treat you this way now!" 

Leo's jaw dropped. He couldn't believe his wife who despised him would recommend him to the princess. He thought she hated him all round. 

The truth was now getting unveiled by Leo as of how Princess Melissa got to know of him. It turned out to be that the location she stated on the call the Royal Clinic which was the best in the country. It had the VIP departments and was mostly attended by members of the royal family and the elite class. 

"My brother is waiting for us at the hospital," she heaved, probably she wanted to say something which hurt her so much. Leo was wondering what was going on, who he's gonna be treating. His heart was occupied by so much thoughts at the moment. 

She gestured to him to get into the car. 

She drove him to the hospital, then took him to the special ward. It was VIP. Meanwhile she hadn't told him what was wrong. 

Opening the door, he saw the king lying in a critical state. He almost stepped backward, he was shocked to realize he would be treating the king of all people, then he was curious to know what's wrong with him, even before he got to examine him. 

"Here's my younger brother, Prince Colton." Melissa introduced him to him.

This was his first time dealing directly with members of the royal family. Colton descended his eyes on him, scanning him with disgust from head to toe.

"Oh, he looks like this in real life?" He questioned, his face showed he didn't believe in his capabilities. "Well, just give me a handshake. I thought he was an outstanding medical expert. Are you sure such a person like him deserves to lay hands on the king?"

"Hmm," Leo sighed silently so that he could not be heard. He was secretly pissef by this. "Well, I might excuse you, your highness, if you don't believe in my capabilities." 

He knew what Colton was expecting, lots of explanations and telling of his achievement to make him believe but he wasn't ready for all these. 

"The king has a traumatic brain injury which makes him unstable. Don't listen to him but treat the king. He judges by appearance, I've warned him several times!" Melissa gave him a pleading gaze which made him decide to set to work. 

"I'll try my best!" As he responded, he was also promising himself this.
