The Mafia Princess

Chapter 9 - ❤️

"W-what are you doing here?" Sophie asks, looking at me with fear in her eyes. Her eyes begin to get glossy with tears as her hands shake and her lip trembles.

"Calm down. You're safe here." I walk over to the door. "I'm going to call a nurse in here to check on you."

She doesn't respond to me. She just sits there silently crying while her head hangs low and she looks down at the hospital blanket. I leave to go find a nurse and once I do, I return to the room with her following behind me.

"I'm just going to do a quick checkup on you, okay? I don't want you to worry." She gently tells Sophie while cautiously moving to check her over.

As soon as her fingers touch Sophie's arm, she flinches and tries to move away, "Don't t-touch me!"

"Hey, it's okay. Everything is fine now." The nurse tries to calm her, speaking as if she's talking to a child. "Can I check you over to make sure your health is good?"

Sophie hesitates for a moment before slowly calming down and nodding her head. The nurse checks her vitals and everything else that needs to be checked before walking over to me.

"She seems to be okay right now. I'm going to call her doctor and let him know that she's awake." The nurse tells me before walking out of the room and silently closing the door behind her.

I stare at Sophie for a bit, not knowing what the hell to do or say. She doesn't look up at me once. Her eyes are glued to her hands as she sits and quietly cries, tears streaming down her face.

After about a minute, I walk to the side of the hospital bed and watch as her body visibly tenses. Her breathing seems to grow more quickly and I say, "I'm not going to hurt you."

She doesn't respond to that. I blow out a tired sigh and place my hands in my pockets while looking around the room. What the fuck am I doing here?

The door opening grabs my attention and her doctor walks in, "You're finally awake. I know this probably isn't the best question right now, but how are you feeling?"

As he walks closer to her side, her eyes widen and she jumps back away from him but immediately winces in pain. Her hands shake uncontrollably and she looks like she wants to say something but her crying won't allow her to.

"It's okay. I'm just your doctor." He says while holding his hands up as if to show her that he means no harm.

I glance over at her before looking back to her doctor, "Get out."

His head snaps towards me and he looks at me in shock, "Mr. Knight, I-"

"I said get the fuck out." I cut off his sentence, keeping my voice calm but looking at him with a death glare.

He sighs and walks out of the room with me following behind him. I shut the door once we get out and he turns around to face me.

"Mr. Knight, I have to help my patient." The doctor says to me, a pleading look on his face.

"Dr. Greene can help your patient." I tell him while crossing my arms over my chest. "Call her."

I didn't think about it at first but after I saw how she reacted to me and the doctor getting close to her, I realized that she may not want to be around any males. I know he's her doctor but Dr. Greene is a female so it's best if she goes in there.

He goes over to the nurse and has her call Dr. Greene. Sometime later, she comes up to us while putting her hair in a low ponytail.

"Is there a problem?" She asks worriedly, looking between the male doctor and me.
