Melanie sat on her bed,biting her nail.
Her phone has rung five times but she didn't pick it up because she didn't have an answer.She glanced at the caller's ID and let out anorther sigh.
Dr.Frank
He had been calling her to convince her to come to her appointment.He was like a father to her and she felt grateful for how mich he cared about her recovery.
The mansion was empty leaving Melanie alone with Lucas,again.He had bluntly refused when she asked if she could go out.When he asked where,she lied saying to get something from the mall.
She didn't tell him or anyone about her appointment because she was worried what if they didn't want her to walk again?.Her request for a wheelchair had been delibaretly prolonged.To Melanie it was obvious that they weren't going to bring her one.
For some twisted reason they wanted her stuck inside her room.If they didn't want anyone roaming around the mansion,then why did they agree to this marriage?
She couldn't risk her chance of feeling how to walk again just because her soon to be in-laws were against it.
Melanie lost count of how long the phone kept ringing and then it stopped.Finally another tone filled her eerie quiet room,indicating a text.
Melanie if you are having doubts about your recovery,just come this once and I will prove you that you can walk again.I promise it will work.Please don't igore this golden oppurtunity.
I will be waiting for you.
Tears brimmed her eyes and guilt clouded her chest.She had total faith in Dr.Frank,he did everything he could for her.She never once doubted his abilities.
It hurt her since he thought she didn't trust him enough even after he did so much for her.
She wiped her tears with a determined face and quickly typed a reply.
I will see you there.
She headed straight for the bathroom and then changed into a denim dress and pulled a beige cardigan over it she slipped on her sandals and grabbed her bag on the way to her door.
She slowly opened her door and peaked out to find it clear as usual.A sigh of relief left her mouth and she stepped outside.Melanie adjusted her crutch under her armpit and walked over to the main door making less noise as possible.
"Miss Melanie?".A voice called out making her halt her steps."Where are you going?".
Melanie whipped her head around,alarmed.She limpered her way to a very confused Maria and clamped a hand over her mouth.
"Shh".
She looked upstairs to see if Lucas heard it and is making his way his way down to burry her alive.But to her relief,he wasn't.
Melanie removed her hand from her mouth."Keep it down,would you?".She said at which Maria's eyes widened."You are not running away are you?".She whisper-shouted.
"Ofcourse not!".She rolled her eyes."I have an appointment but Lucas banned me from going out".She blurted but she was sure she could trust Maria this much.
"Appointment? Are you okay?".Maria asked worried.Melanie nodded."There is nothing to worry about".She assured.Maria visibly relaxed but bit her lip.
"Won't you get in trouble if master Lucas found that you snuck out?".
"I will come back as fast as possible.Until then,if he asks about me just tell him I am sleeping".She said with a pleading look.
Maria looked around nervously but gave in."Alright".
A smile fell on Melanie's face and she pulled the maid into a tight hug."Thank you! Thank you!".
She opened the door leading outside and spotted the chauffeur standing by the car,kicking the tires,probably checking to see if they are alright.
"Excuse me!".She called out,at which he turned around a flash of surprise passed his face.
"Miss Melanie!".He exclaimed,approaching her."What might you be doing here?".He asked with a frown.
"I...umm..need a ride".She mumbled.
He cocked an eyebrow."To where exactly?".He glanced at his wristwatch before looming back at her.
"To a hospital".She replied.He opened his mouth to say something but she cut him off."I already asked Lucas so there is nothing to worry about".She lied with a straight face for which he fell.
"Alright".He opened the back door.She thanked him and sat inside,inhaling the jasmine scent.He moved around and sat in as well.
"To where?".He asked turning on the engine.
"Cleaveland Hospital".
