Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Suspicion

Davis doubt lingered as Ethan pushed to the same door 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 "Come in", 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 some deductions 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, I have gone through the medical report you sent in. I 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 came in 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 came in "Dr. Please continue", he muttered. He already had a conviction in his heart that it is impossible but —its better they heard from her. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
