Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 360

‘What for?” 

‘To check on you, of course.‘ Jesse held up his physician’s bag. ‘Why else do you think I’m here so late at night?” 

The chief physician of Stamford General did not usually make house calls, but Austyn wouldn’t take no for an answer.. Kira sat down. 

She winced when Jesse pressed a hand to her right shoulder. 

‘Does it hurt here? 

The doctor had donned a pair of gloves. 

Kira bit her bottom lip. ‘Yes.‘ 

“Bear with it for a moment longer. I need to take a look” 

Kira turned away. 

Jesse was quick with his examination. 

‘No fracture. Just a dislocated shoulder. I’ll help you set it back in 

Kira’s body trembled.. 

She remembered the last time she’d had a dislocated shoulder. 

‘It’s going to hurt a little‘ 

Her muscles tensed. ‘Just do it.‘ 

‘Lie down on the sofa on your back‘ 

Kira did. 

Jesse grabbed her right wrist gently, lifting her arm vertically. 

He applied the Spaso technique. 

Kira heard a gentle click

Sensing what she was thinking, Jesse said, ‘Give it a few seconds.” 

Pain started to radiate from her shoulder to th

the rest of her arm. 

She didn’t want to cry, but she couldn’t stop tears from rolling down her cheeks, Jesse offered her a tissue. If you go out like this, Austyn’s going to think I bullied you.

I Think I’m Falling In Love With Her 

Kira lay on the sofa and waited for the pain to subside. 

Since the coffee table was out of commission, Jesse set down a tube of ointment on the arm of the sofa. ‘Apply to your bruises, three times a day.! 

Kira didn’t hear him. 

Jesse sighed. 

He scribbled o 

I on a prescription pad, tore off the page and stuck it onto the tube of ointment. 

Then he thought better of it and picked up the tube. 

Before he left, he said, ‘I won’t tell Austyn about the daredevil stunt you tried to pull just now. But I’m serious. Don’t do it. A fall from this height is no joke, especially given your current condition.” 

“If I don’t run, I’ll just be a prisoner in my own–no, in his home 

Jesse’s hand was already on the doorknob. 

He whipped around. ‘What? Austyn’s keeping you locked up? Are you serious?‘ 

Kira sat up. 

The look of disbelief on the doctor’s face galled her. 

“You’re his friend. Of course you’ll take his side. You saw what he did to me at the hospital. There were guards outside my room twenty -four hours a day. I couldn’t even set foot beyond the threshold. Tell me if that’s not false imprisonment!‘ 

Kira was still furious about the past two days. 

“Oh come on.” Jesse offered a placatory smile. “The guards were there to protect you, not to imprison you.” 

‘I don’t think that’s- 

‘Miss Hewitt.‘ Jesse’s face had taken on a serious look. ‘I’m not lying to you. I don’t have a reason or a need to. And I’m not saying this just because I’m Austyn’s friend. He assigned the guards to you to protect you against Liam Cane.” 

Kira stared at him, confused. ‘But I never saw him after…” 

Jesse shook his head. “You don’t know the man. Liam Cane is a monster. He’s capable of anything. Austyn was afraid he might sneak into the ward and hurt you. The guards were there to keep Liam out, not to keep you in.‘ 

Kira opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say. 

The doctor seemed sincere. 

Austyn was trying to protect her? 

Why couldn’t he have just told her? 

Kira shook her head. 

Even if his intentions were good, she still couldn’t accept the way he just ran roughshod over her objections and kept her in the hospital.
