Irish Luck

Chapter Thirty-Three

Stasia

I can hear the brother's and Doctor Wallace all discussing something outside my room, when her voice trails off theirs don't but I can't quite figure out what's being said.

With the way Hugh stormed in here I have a feeling it has something to do with me.

I'm way too nosy to just sit here waiting for them to get back so even though I groan from the pain following my wound being prodded I get off the bed and stagger my way to the door. When I swing it open I find all four of them stood outside but their conversations halts straightaway giving me no insight on what exactly it was that they were discussing.

Initially Hugh has his back to me with his brothers facing him looking rather amused so I guess it's nothing serious although when he whirls round to face me I fully expect him to be scowling and pissed at me like he always is because that's his default. But what's wild is I'm pretty sure his expression is one of concern but then I do have an infection so maybe I'm just going out of my mind.

"Get back into bed" he orders sternly and when I make no move to follow his request he literally steps towards me and scoops me up in such a swift motion my head literally spins.

"You need to be resting until your leg is healed" he then says as he carries me back towards the bed.

I quickly glance over his shoulder to find all 3 of his brothers with very evident smirks on their faces and when I give them a what the fuck? look Finn quite literally starts howling with laughter as if this is the most entertaining thing he has ever seen, where as I still have no fucking idea what's going on.

"I'll be working from here until then" Hugh adds as me lowers me down onto the bed and then he pulls something out of his pocket and hands it to me.

It's a brand new phone and as I stare at it in my hand he goes on to say. "All of our numbers are in there, anything you need you call one of us to get it for you until you're fully healed"

Firstly I don't understand why my leg being fucked would result in him working from home when I don't think he even takes time off to sleep but secondly I don't understand his evident concern for my welfare.

"I had a phone and Wallace didn't say anything about having to stay in bed" I say trying to reason with him.

"Well the phone you had was a brick from the early 2000's Stas" Finn chuckles but I'm still staring at Hugh like an idiot trying to figure out what has gotten into him today to give daggers to Finn for making fun of my old phone.

"You'll be staying in bed until I'm happy your infection is gone and you're not going to lose your fucking leg" Hugh says completely ignoring Finn and only speaking directly to me. By his tone I gather there is absolutely no room for argument here so to save him getting any more pissy than he already is I nod my agreement which seems to please him for now.

When he seems pleased I'm not going to argue back he reaches into his breast pocket and pulls out what looks to be a bank card. When he hands it to me I realise that's exactly what it is.

"This is yours to use as you please, the banking app is on your phone already" he says and I'm pretty sure my mouth is hanging open as I stare at him because he then adds on "you're welcome Anastasia"

"Er yeah erm thank you" I manage to stutter out not fully grasping the fact that this is happening right now and from the looks on his brothers faces

Cian: No can do sweetheart, you've got to stay locked in your palace. Hugh's orders.
Stasia: Please! I'm going out of my mind!
Finn: I'll do it for nudes ;)
Blake: I second Finn on that
Hugh: You do realise I can see all of this right? You've all got shit to be doing.
Hugh: Except you Anastasia
Stasia: Oh yes don't you worry I'll stay locked up in my prison. AGAIN.
