"You can't remove that yet! Unless your doctor says it is ok to do so." He said that when the door suddenly opened, and a female doctor stepped in. She had heard what Sebastian just said.r

"Uhm… actually, it's okay for her to remove it… Sir." The doctor informed them, and Elle raised her brow at him. Her eyes were literally yelling the word 'see?' r

Sebastian sighed heavily and gave in. "Then you should let the doctor do it." He firmly told her before stepping out of the room. r

Once everything was settled and Elle was now all prepared to leave, Sebastian talked to the doctor. When he saw her standing, Sebastian suddenly rushed over and scooped her up into his arms, surprising Elle and the doctor too. r

"Wait… Seb… you're not going to carry me all the way like this are you?" she whispered embarrassedly as she saw how the doctor was eyeing her with a smile. "I can walk. Really!! Or I could just use the wheelchair –"r

"Just be good and let me take care of you, Izabelle." Came his firm and controlled voice. He obviously did not like that she was adamant in having him put her down. Elle looked at him with a curiosity and a tinge of confusion. However, once she heard some ladies gasping and saw everyone else looking at them, Elle realized that Sebastian was just doing his part of the bargain again. Right… they needed to keep up their appearances since they were outside now.r

So, she could only lean her head obediently on his chest and went with the flow. Her mind whispering cynically to herself the words 'if you all only knew…'. And she could not help a bitter feeling surge from the depths of her heart.r

…r

Sebastian never put her down. Even when they had reached the car, he kept her tucked in his arms. Until they were finally back in the castle. He carried and brought her straight to their original bedchambers and sat her down gently on the bed. r

Elle saw her phone on the side table and looked at Sebastian in surprise. Was he finally done with the confinement and restricting her in her room? r

She remembered his words last night saying that she could now do whatever she wanted before storming off as though he did not want to care about her matters anymore. r

Just as she was about to speak, a soft knock echoed at the door. r

Sebastian immediately opened the door and stepped outside, leaving her alone again. She was careful to move slowly in case her dizziness strikes again and picked up her phone. r

It was turned off. Pressing the power on button, her phone flashed bright with the welcome greeting. r

Series of buzzes suddenly filled the room and Elle did not know why, but her heartbeat began to race. She could see numerous messages from unknown numbers. r

Unlocking her phone, Elle swallowed nervously as her fingers move slowly to tap on the messages to read them. r

Her phone was snatched from her hand before she could see what the messages were about. She whirled around and just as she had expected, it was Sebastian who had her phone clutched in his hand.r

"S-sebastian!" she was unable to stop herself from yelling his name a little louder than usual. "You said… you had said that I can now do whatever it was I wanted last night. Remember that?! You're not going to continue locking me up, right?" her eyes started to turn red and teary as she became emotional again.r

"Izabelle..." He whispered gently, reaching out to touch her head but Elle stepped back. "Listen. I'm not locking up you up again. However, I need you to listen to me. I've decided to reveal everything to you… but only after I return. I won't take long. I'll just need to deal with this one last thing first and foremost. Once I am back, I'll reveal everything to you myself. I want to be the one you learn anything from. So, I still can't allow you to use your phone. I will allow you to go out, but just until the garden. And Rion and Raven must be by your side at all times. Can you accept this?"r

Elle stared at him. She could see how serious he was. She noticed his expression had change since he went out of the door. As if he had heard some bad news. She could tell that whatever this thing he was dealing with, it must be really serious just by the immense change of air around him. r

"How… long? How long will you take again before you return?" she asked, trying her best to stay calm and composed. r

"Give me two more days." r

"Do you promise you will tell me everything in detail when you're back?" r

"Yes." r

The lack of hesitation in his bright eyes had Elle slowly calming down. Two days… she had already waited for five days. Two more days would not hurt, right? As long as he would keep his promise. r

"Alright, fine… I will wait for two more days." She gave in. r

He looked relieved. Then he turned her phone off again. "I'll keep this phone with me for now. Internet will continue to be unavailable to you. And… that f… wolf, I won't allow you to sleep with him again. Agreed?" r

Elle could not believe the wolf was still such a sore spot to him in this situation! r

"You can go visit him in the other room. But you are never to bring him in here. And never visit him at night. Are we clear? Also… I want you back at your full strength once I'm back. If you get sick again… I might omit some details from you. So make sure to take care of yourself, did I make myself clear?" r

Elle wanted to argue, not liking all this endless conditions of his, but seeing at how he was obviously needing to rush off, she decided to hold her tongue. She would make sure that she would get back at him once he returns. r

"Crystal clear, Prince Sebastian." She told him. r

He smiled. She did not expect him to show her that elusive dimple. "Good girl." He uttered and suddenly, his lips were on her throat.r
