Princess?

Chapter 76

Camilla's P. O. V.

"This is a lovely hospital"

I look at my security as we enter the hospital, "Stay out here. I'll be fine"

"Your Majesty-"

"Stay out here. "

Then I turn around and walk inside the hospital, with Derek by my side. As we're standing in the elevator, Derek looks at me, "Why haven't you practiced since you've been here?"

I shrug, "I was needed to do another job. I was needed to be Queen. "

Derek walks forward, trapping me in between the elevator and his body. I breath in deep, my eyes searching his face.

"Derek, what are you doing?"

He stares intensely into my eyes, "I love you. And I can't be without you anymore. I need you. You abandoned me. Now it's time to come home. "

I bite my lip, as tears start to form. I grab his face between my hands, stroking his cheek with my thumb, "Derek-"

He pushes forward and kisses me. I immediately kiss back, even though I know it's wrong. I hear the ding, and quickly pull away as the elevator opens.

Derek looks at me with wide eyes, "Camilla-"

I hold my hand up, "No, we're not talking about that right now. "

Then I step off the elevator. Everyone on the floor looks at me in shock. "Your Majesty. "

I turn and see a doctor standing there, and let me tell you, he is gorgeous. His eyes. Beyond gorgeous.

I smile at him and hold my hand out, "Camilla, please. "

He shakes my hand, "Jackson"

I raise my brows, "Wait a second, you're American?"

Jackson nods, "I am. "

I grin, "It's so great to have another American!"

Jackson laughs and says, "I'm in charge of showing you around and everything. I also have a surgery you can sit in on, if you would like. "

I nod, "Absolutely."

He nods, "Alright. Follow me. "

Derek and I follow Jackson into a room. There are a few interns standing there, who start freaking out when they see me.

Jackson groans, "Guys! Be professional," Then he looks at me, "This is Adele. She's 21 years old and she's here with a brain tumor. We're going in to get it. "

I smile at the patient and shake her hand, "Adele, it's lovely to meet you. "

"And you as well, Your Majesty. "

"This is the surgery you'll be sitting in on. "

I nod and follow Jackson out of the room. He leans against the nurses station and says to me, "So you're a doctor?"

I grin and lean across from him, "I'm a surgeon. But I haven't practiced in a long time. "

Jackson furrows his brows, "Why not?"

I shrug with a half smile, "I'm Queen"

Jackson grins, "I guess so. "

Derek grabs my shoulder, "I'm going to step outside the hospital to take a call. I should be back soon"

I nod as he walks to the elevator.

***

It's been like 20 minutes since Derek left, he's been gone a long time. I'm in the OR with Jackson. All of the sudden, Jackson's pager goes off. He looks at it then look at me with clear panic in his eyes.

I furrow my brows, "What is it?"

Jackson steps closer to me, lowering his voice, "The hospital is on lockdown"

I tilt my head, "What does that mean?"

Before he can respond, the chief of surgery walks in the room, "Dr. Avery"

He walks over to the door, and he speaks in low voices to the chief. When the chief leaves, Jackson comes back with shaking hands.

He grabs my elbow and pulls me to the side, away from the other doctors in the room, "I'm not supposed to tell anyone but I feel like I need to because you're the Queen. There is a shooter in the building. Apparently he's already killed multiple people. "

My eyes search his face, "So what are we doing?"

He sighs, "We stay here and keep operating. We're not supposed to leave the OR. "

I nod as he goes back to the table, continuing with the operation.
