Chapter 354 - Three Hundred And Fifty-four: She Must Escape (1/2)
The third point of view:
Judy felt like a living zombie lately, he had so many problems on his plate he didn't know where to begin. He sighed for the umpteenth time already before standing to his feet, it was time to visit Emily.
Well, he wasn't Emily's favorite person at the moment considering she doesn't want to see him, and each time he forcefully enters, she hits him with anything she gets her hand on. Yeah, she was mad at him. And right now, he was probably going to experience another episode of her throwing things at him again.
”Your highness, where to?” asked Archie, his assistant.
”Going to the Royal medical wing,” He answered, without glancing over his shoulder at him.
The medical wing was in charge of the health of the royal family. Until recently, that had been Akim's residence, however, his son was recovered now and they could only check on him in his sleeping quarters since the boy hated the smell of antiseptic and drugs.
Like mother, like son, Emily also hated hospitals due to her horrible experiences there, but there was nothing Judy could do until the royal physician deemed her free to be discharged.
”Emily?” he knocked on the door while bracing himself for the impact to come. She had hurled a mug at him the last time he came and had been quick to dodge it. He had to be prepared this time around too.
There was no response to his knock as usual. Well, what was he expecting? Ever since Emily lost that baby, it was as if a part of her died, she was just not the same any longer. But he wasn't the same too, if only she could understand he was having a bad time too - the guilt was killing him from inside out.
”I'm coming in,” Judy informed her as he normally does and opened the door slowly and carefully while preparing his reflexes into action.
However, there was nothing to get worked over because nobody was in the room. Huh? That was strange. Has she finally decided to take a breath of air after locking herself up for long?
She must be in the garden, Judy thought and walked further into the room. The garden was one of the most attractive and wonderful places in the palace that could offer her the serene peace she wanted - Emily needed that with the amounts of thoughts running through her head.
Picking a seat by her bedside, Judy picked his phone and placed a call to her. There was a possibility she would not pick and would let it ring on purpose but he had faith. Who knows, a miracle might happen.
”Please, Emily, Please,” He prayed anxiously, and just when the call went through, had a bit of hope, but something happened.
He heard a ringing tone.
”Huh?” His brows raised in confusion when he saw her phone on the nightstand. She didn't leave with her phone? That was strange and unlike Emily...
Judy's eyes widened. Oh no, it couldn't be.
”Your highness!” Archie who had followed after him was alarmed when the prince suddenly stormed out of the room as if he saw the devil in there.
”Your highness!” He called again but the man ignored him, going straight to the head physician's office.
”Where is she?! ”
The doctor was almost startled out of his seat when the prince barged into his office like a dog gone rabid.
”Your highness,” the doctor had a trace of panic on his features, confused more than ever.
”Where is who, your highness?” the man adjusted his glasses, holding his own against the majesty's tremendous aura.
”Where is Emily, of course, you dumbass?!” Judy had already grabbed the doctor by his scrubs and pushed him up against the wall, threateningly.
Sweat poured down the doctor's face, ”Your highness, Lady Emily is in her room -”
