The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: The Knight And The Physician

Rafal had to obey Arlan’s order, and let the pretty boy who seduced his liege enter his room, albeit unwillingly. Neil accompanied Oriana, acting as her helper, bringing with him medicinal supplies borrowed from a royal physician.

When they reached the knight’s lodgings, she told the frowning man, "Sir Ahren, please sit down."

"Where?"

"Anywhere."

With a sigh, Rafal sat on the bed.

Oriana went to check the wound on his head first and started asking questions as a physician would do, her tone was serious and strict. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

"Are you dizzy?"

"No."

"Headache?"

"No."

"Nauseous? Do you feel like vomiting? How about your balance?" Oriana asked as she gently touched the area around the cut.

"No to all. Just clean the wound and patch it."

"Hmm, it doesn’t look that serious...."

Rafal gestured for Neil to hand over the bandages.

"I already told you, it’s not–ugh!" He let out a groan as the sudden movement brought a sharp pain inside his chest.

"Stop making this hard for both of us, Sir Ahren," she said coldly, as if to show his behavior wouldn’t affect her. "You are my patient, so do as I say."

"You dare order me—"

"Let’s make this clear. Right now, you are only a patient in my eyes. When it comes to my patient, I must be strict."

Rafal sighed in annoyance and looked the other way.

Oriana continued, "You are having trouble breathing, that means your lungs might be damaged. There is also the possibility of your ribs being fractured.You were thrown against the stone wall so it must have..."

"Only weaklings like you get affected by such an ordinary hit."

Oriana felt like rolling her eyes. ’Will it hurt his ego to admit he’s in pain? Does being honest and saying it hurts make him less of a man?’

"Please remove your clothes so I can check your chest and back."

"No need. Give me something to relieve pain—"

"Listen to what Orian says, Rafal."
