Royal Princess: Doted On By The Mafia King

Leah walked into the boy's room after a soft knock on the door to see him playing video game on his bed.

He dropped his phone immediately and sat up as soon as he saw her. "Good afternoon Dr. Leah," he said with a playful bow of his head.

"Good afternoon," she answered his playful greeting with a jovial smile.

"Have you eaten lunch?" He asked beating her to the usual question she asks him all the time.

"Yes, I did. What about you?" She replied. Her smile broadened.

"Yes. Although I am very tired of hospital food," he said with a slight pout of his lips.

"I found something out about you. I guess I got myself too involved in your business that I wanted to satisfy my curiosity so I asked a PI to investigate why your mum cares for your brother more than she cares about you," Leah explained careful not to offend him since she took a while to build the bond with them.

"I . . ." the teenager started but stopped when he saw the concerned expression Leah wore. He really wanted to state his objection very strongly and he was definitely going to sound offensive if he had spoken.

"It is okay if you don't want to know. I will just go back to being on my lane and mind my business," she said stepping away from his bed. "I guess I crossed the line. I am sorry."

"No . . . It's . . ." the youth found himself unable to say a word as he watched Leah walk out with a sad expression.

Leah looked back at the door of the boy's room and dropped her act. She could feel guilt grip her heart because she was clearly using the fact that the boy felt comfortable with her to get informations from him and get him to work for Liam.

It was obvious that the boy liked and trusted her. It will only make her a villian to use the boy in the manner she did but her loyalty to Liam was way more than any of the feeling she felt.

She expected the boy to call her back anytime soon but when he didn't, she decided perhaps he needed a few more days to let his curiousity force him to find her. She knew the boy was curious, he have always been curious about the partial treatment he received.

She walked into the elevator and went to floor where Rose's room was which was the next floor above. She walked into Rose's room. Rose was alone in the room despite it being time for visits.

Rose's sister returned home for the final months she has to spend in highschool and her mum was busy with work. No one have paid visit to her in more than a week. She felt with pity towards the very beautiful pale girl on the bed.

She adjusted the blanket covering Rose. She smiled sadly and turned to leave only to see the youth she left a floor below standing at the door way.

"What the . . ." she hissed walking to him. "How did you get here?"

"I followed you," he replied smiling innocently.

Looking at his face, she found herself fighting a mental battle on if he was really as innocent as he looked or he was pretending. Rose could not stay on the top floor because her parents were with her and she was not openly under Liam's protection.

They also could not guard her heavily to avoid suspicion but the place was still too guarded for a fly to sneak in not to talk of a fully grown youth. She looked at him suspiciously unsure of what do say at the moment.

"She is so beautiful. I think I saw her on TV. I heard she got stabbed in a restroom," the boy said shaking his head in pity as he looked at Rose.

The boy's state was not very favorable for him to easily leave his room but here he was in Rose's room leaning on the crutches. "You shouldn't be here," was all Leah said. It was Rose's presence in the hospital was not a secret.

"I know. I am sorry," the boy said scratching the back of his head. He left and closed the door behind him.

Leah followed him outside and closed the door quietly behind her. "You said you were following me, why?"

"I wanted to listen to what you had to say," he said looking down at the marble floor of the corridor.

"Okay."

"But under one condition," he said leaning on the wall.

She looked at the boy wondering what was on his mind but she did not say anything and waited for him to speak.

"It's something simple. I am tired of eating hospital food. I want you to cook for me. I want something very delicious," he said nodding his head with puffed up chest. He felt proud of what he came up with.

Leah scoffed and shook her head. "I will not do that. It is your life after all. I only wanted to help you. If you wish to know then I will tell you but if you don't, I will keep my mouth shut," she said and walked away.

Agreeing to his very childish condition will mean she wanted something from him. She was given a task to make him work for Liam but that did not mean she should cook for him when her boy at home have not eaten her food in over a year.

"Wait," he said walking after with the support of his crutches.

"I will not cook for you," she told him frowning. She kept walking without listening to what he had to say.

"Fine, food from a restaurant will do," he said accepting defeat but not totally.

"I will not do anything of that sort. I am very busy. My lunchtime is almost over for me," she said and kept walking towards her office.

"Fine, I will listen. The curiousity us killing me here," he said still going after her. He sounded more serious now.

"Are you sure?" she asked him with a serious frown.
