Isabelle (House of Jensen Series book 5)

Chapter 14

I sit back down to see Freddie had put a small slice of each of the four cakes on my plate. I take two paracetamol and take a bite of red velvet cake it was amazing. I knew what my wedding cake was going to be a layer of each of the cake I was eating.

"I want all four cake as our wedding cake, "I whisper to him.

"I was thinking the same thing, the baker here has a gift."

Later in the day I hold up a pair of pink pyjamas I was definitely getting them. I drop the pyjamas and put my hand to my head. I was getting a really bad headache. Zoe and Freddie rush to my side, "You need to arrange for someone to buy all the items I selected for you. I need to see the doctor."

We hurriedly make our way out of the store with me trying to not show I was in pain again to the photographers. I grit my teeth and smile while they take photos of us. I hear Freddie speaking to someone about a full workup.

The car stops outside a private hospital and drives into a private entrance. A middle age doctor was waiting by the door. He bows when he sees us, "Your royal highness. I understand you're experiencing pain for the second time today. This time very severe. I would like to run some test on you."

"What kind of test?" I couldn't see why more test was necessary.

"I want to re-X-ray your hand and do a CT scan on your head. Do some blood work and any other examinations that is necessary."

"Do it."

We follow him to a room that looked like it belong in a hotel not a hosptial. I make myself comfortable on the king side bed. Zoe and Freddie sits on the sofa looking concern.

Then Freddie follows the doctor outside as a nurse comes and introduces herself as Sharon. She had a hospital gown and a robe with her. She shows me my private bathroom and shows me the menu for the day on a tablet screen. I get the feeling the doctor knew why he wanted to do those specific scans on me.

Federico's POV

In the past

Federico was following up a lead his security men gave him. He was told that an American was asking questions about the princess kidnapping. He was waiting in his cheap beaten up car to see if the man would make his regular McDonald's trip that day. After waiting for six hours no one of his description shows up. He sees James going into the McDonald's by himself. This peak his curiosity since he had never known the man to eat at a fast food place in his life.

He waits till he was inside for a good five minutes then he walks into McDonald's. He orders a Big Mac meal for himself and food for his security men. Even thought he was dress down and was wearing a hat, and a scarf over the lower part of his mouth. He still did his best to look like everyone else including ordering in an American accent.

When he was given his food he walks out the restaurant but sends the bodyguard waiting in the car to watch James.

Present day

"What are you not saying doctor?"

"I'm afraid I can't tell you sir."

"What if she tells you it's okay to discuss her medical issues with me."

"Why would she do that?"

"Why don't we ask her about the medical situation first."

"Okay."

We walk back to Izzy's room, "lIzzy the doctor wants to know. If it's okay if he discusses your care and medical situation with me."

"Of course it is you're my.." she looks at Zoe who didn't know about us getting married then at the doctor. "I give my consent."

The doctor and I walk out the room, "I want to check if when she was kidnapped. A chip was implanted in her head and in her wrist. I have heard some horrible rumours about what happened to people who were kidnapped."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing they could've experimented on Isabelle. But she never said anything about it to any of us.

As if knowing what I was going to ask. The doctor say, "They could've rendered her unconscious before they did the surgery. She could've been so out of it she doesn't remember it happening."

I start grinding my teeth in anger. Could this be why she doesn't remember the last three months before she was kidnapped?

I take my phone out and explain things to Jay who was furious. Bianca was still healing from giving birth so she stayed home. But everyone else came to see Isabelle at the hospital.

We were all together when she was told they found a chip in her wrist and in her head. Because of the pain in her hand they needed to do surgery straight away. In case metal fragments were in her blood stream because James may have crushed the chip.

She was devastated I was glad I sent Zoe home. She didn't need to hear what was going on. "So the chip is why I'm getting a headache. Why have I not been experiencing pain like this before?"

She asked a good question, "I think they're connected somehow and when it was crushed. It malfunctioned and instead of giving you a bit of pain. It's giving you a ridiculous amount."

"I need a private word with my family."

"I can give you five minutes."

When the doctor shuts the door Isabelle reaches for my hand. I stand beside her, "I don't remember having any surgery. I remember that woman that always screamed at night but not surgery."

We all look at each other not knowing what to say to her. "If they messed with your head maybe it affected your memories as well.

Looking up at me she says,"Maybe. Since I have to have this done I want two things to happen. First that crappy doctor fired. I mean how did he miss read a report saying there was a weird object on the X-ray."

Judging my her brothers face that was going to happen very quickly, "And the second thing?" Ask her mum.

"I know you can get a special emergency license to get married in an emergency situation. I mean you can get married then get the license. I want to get married before I go under the knife."

"Izzy."

She cuts me off, "No I want to wake up and see my husband's face staring back at me. I still want that cake from that bakery as my wedding layered cake. I still want my fairytale wedding in a church. The carriage ride and I want the people of Denmark to see me getting married. Then I want a blessing in the church your parents got married in Freddie."

"We can erm." I was too choke up to speak.

"We can arrange all that for you Isabelle but your wedding will still have to be a secret. Especially if you want your big church wedding."

"Johan I'm okay with that."

I leave Isabelle with her family while Johan and I hurriedly get everything together. I call my parents and explain everything to them. "Thank god you're not far away from us. We will leave as soon as possible."

"Thanks mum." I didn't realise how much I needed their support until now.
