Chapter 240: Like A Caged Bird

Lucy’n l’OV:

In the dimly lit room, the stole air circulated the room, now mixed with the choking smell of tobacco . I
knew that smoking wasn’t good for the baby, but it was also my only escape from this hell.
Richard lind confined me to this room twenty-four-seven. No one was allowed to even get close to this
room, other than the person who would bring food lo me daily
Several guards stood watch by the door at all times, all of whom were Richard’s trusted men couldn’t
even make it to the door before a guard would bark ol me to stay in the room It seemed thnt Richard was
really pissed off with me this time. In the past, no matter how 1 provoked him, he would simply turn n
blind cyc to it. Even after knowing what happened between me and Kyle, he just called a few ordinary
guards to keep a close watch on me.
I couldn’t help but touch my slightly bulging belly, feeling restless. Over the past few days, Richard had
been making sure I was in good health by making me take all kinds of tonics and medicines. Despite this
facade of kindness, I knew that I was doomed. But I didn’t want to accept my late for the sake of my
unborn child, I had to fight to live Staring at the food on the table, a lightbulb went on in my head.

The sun was shining outside, but inside the room, it was freezing cold. I hung my thick coat to the side
and went to the bathroom to take a cold shower. It wasn’t until I wan shivering that I sat down at the
table. Then I picked up a fork to cal a few mouthfuls of food. I suddenly threw the fork on the table with a
bang and I staggered to the door, trembling all over, Knocking weakly at the door, I cried urgently.

“Help! Somebody, anybody! My stomach hurts Call the doctor!” A guard soon came in and inquired about
my condition. My face a deathly pale, I held my belly with both hands, teeth chattering in my mouth.

“My belly hurts badly. Call the doctor please!” The guard was very cautious. He first glanced at the hall-
eaten food on the table and then asked me what had happened in detail “I don’t know what’s wrong with
me, but I just had a few mouthfuls of soup and my stomach began to ache”



As I spoke, I began to cry. I even pinched my thigh secretly, digging my nails into my skin, to squeeze out
a few tears. As the tears rolled down my cheeks, the guard was finally convinced and immediately ran
out to call the doctor for me. I snorted and stood up as if nothing had happened. I wrapped the thick coat
around me and sat on the edge of the bed, expectantly waiting for the doctor. It didn’t take long before a
she-woll came in. It was Susan, the doctor Richard had sent to make sure I wouldn’t have a miscarriage.
He didn’t want to expose my pregnancy ahead of tinne, so he specifically assigned me a doctor with
simple background who had just come to the city. Susan was a she-wolf in her early twenties. She had
blonde hair, blue eyes, fair skin and n prominent more-Typical northernet appearance, she was also will

‘The last sentence was addresses to the guards. They exchanged unensyslancom and asked, Duat ole

“Who’s the doctor hove, you or me?” Suuan whol back nerously

The guards were still leuitating “BULL…”

“What Do you wont 10 neo the private parts of Prince Richard’s mater” I mnooneid as I banan 10

now!” with a bang, the guarda closed the door behind thein. All soon as the door was closed, my lacade
fell and I grabbed Busan’s hand anxiously, “Well? Have you found anything?”
