Chapter 26 - She cried her heart out

Rosabella placed the jewellery back and noticed two necklaces that she recognized them. She was about to pick one of them up when they heard a shout, and the Beast rushed to the main entrance. Rosabella walked out of the wardrobe and closed the door behind her.

Rosabella was about to walk over to a chair when Fred ran into the room and looked at him as he inquired. "Rosabella, you must come to the main entrance right now because your father is badly injured."

Rosabella quickly ran to the main entrance; her face went white as snow, and she placed her hands over her mouth as the Beast approached her. The Beast stood beside her and helped her stride over to Luke as she stuttered with shock. "What happened to him, and is he going to be alright?"

The Beast held Rosabella because she was about to collapse from shock and ordered. "Take Luke to the bedchamber he had used before and get a doctor to look over him." Two soldiers took Luke to the bedchamber, and the Beast, Rosabella, and a servant from Rosabella's old home went to the living room.

The Beast and Rosabella sat on a sofa, and the servant sat on a chair. The Beast held Rosabella's right hand, and they looked at the Beast asked. "What happened to Luke, and who would do such a thing?" The servant took a deep breath in and answered.

"Paige has beaten Luke up ever since they arrived back without Ella, or should I mean Rosabella yesterday, and made a gigantic mess in the bedroom that Rosabella used to have. There has not been an hour apart from last night that Paige has left Luke alone, and she is making plans to come here to hurt Rosabella and kill you."

"But I overheard her say that she would not do it until four or five months; however, I could be wrong about that, and the rest of the servant and I had enough of her beating her second husband up like we had enough of seeing Rosabella being treated like a slave, being threatened and getting beaten up in her own home."

Rosabella held onto the Beast and shed tears of hurt and sadness. The Beast knows Paige is pushing her luck and wants to know if her first husband is alive. A doctor arrived at the Royal Palace and was taken to the bedchamber that Luke was in. The Beast hugged Rosabella as she cried her heart out, and the servant stayed where he was.

The Beast looked towards the door and called out. "Fred!"Fred entered the room and bowed low. He stood up, and the Beast requested. "Fred, I want you to learn more about Paige because I want to know if her first husband is alive. If he is alive, find him and bring him here without delay. Find out from him if he is alive. Did Paige beat him or not and tell him what was going on?" 

Fred nodded and went away. Rosabella sat up and wiped the tears away as she sobbed. "How cold and downright cruel can my stepmother be? I just hope that she does not come here to hurt me and kill you." The Beast nodded his head, and the doctor walked into the room. 

Rosabella looked at him with a worried look, and he requested. "Have you got a cordial by any chance? (Rosabella nodded, and the doctor continued.) Your father is going to survive, but I need to borrow the cordial and will give it back."

Angela, Ellie, Emma, Gemma, Julia, and Lucy were in the room, and Rosabella looked at Julia as she dictated. "Julia, go to my bedchamber and get my cordial. Please bring it here and give it to the doctor so my father can survive." Julia nodded and quickly ran to Rosabella's bedchamber.

She got hold of the cordial and brisked walked back to the living room. Julia gave the cordial to the doctor, and he quickly rushed back to the bedchamber that Luke was using. Rosabella placed her hands together and prayed for Luke to recover. The Beast knew that this was the first time that Rosabella had seen her father in the state he was in and waited for the doctor to come back.

After a couple of hours, the doctor returned and announced to Rosabella. "Rosabella, you can relax and be reassured because your father has 100% recovered from what happened to him. But I am afraid that he must stay here until he fully recovers and be sent elsewhere instead of returning home."

The doctor gave Rosabella her cordial back and left to return to Luke. The servant knew he had done the right thing by bringing Luke to the Royal Palace, and Rosabella looked at him as she begged him.

"Please do not tell my stepmother and stepsisters where my father was. They can stay where they are right now, and I know they will surely complain that my father gets to stay here, but they do not. But my stepmother is the one who placed my father in the state that he was in when he arrived here, and I do not want her to hurt or harm him ever again. You can tell the rest of the servants, including the head of the household, but not my stepmother and stepsisters."

The servant nodded his head and went back to Rosabella's old home. The servant told the head of the household and the rest of the servants. He did not tell Paige, Sarah, and Anne where Luke was. Back at the Royal Palace, the doctor saved Luke's life and walked back to the living room.

He knocked on the door, and the Beast said. "Enter." The doctor opened the door and strode into the room. The doctor quickly walked over to Rosabella and announced.

"Your father is going to be okay, but he needs to recover before anything else happens. It would be best if you told him how he got here and that he cannot return home at all because he must go somewhere else so he will understand what is going on. I will check on him if anything else happens to him and will visit him where he has been sent to."
