Provoking a Graceful Bloom Novel

---- Chapter 266 William had once despised Freya. If not for her, Frederick would never have been separated from Selena. But in time, William came to wonder if perhaps some things were simply destined. Even without Freya's interference, could Frederick and Selena truly have stayed together? Who could say for certain? "His Highness has ordered that you remain here and focus on your recovery," said William. "My body can never recover,' Freya replied, her voice breaking and tears slipping down her cheeks before she could stop them. She was no longer a proper woman! "Lonly wish to see him.

Just to ask if he still feels anything for me at all," she added. "If you know your body can never be restored, then you must also know there can be no future between you and His Highness, "William replied. At this point, how could she still not see it? What did she hope for now? "But he promised he would love me, and me alone, for the rest ---- of his life!" Freya cried, trembling so violently that her words quavered. "If he truly loves me, then no matter what I've become, he shouldn't abandon me! William, please let me see him. | must ask him myself!" William wanted to refuse.

But faced with her pitiful, broken figure, he found himself at a complete loss for words. More than that, he couldn't tell what Fredrick truly felt for her. If there was no affection left, why had the prince brought her back to the estate at all? "Very well," he said at last. "! will speak to His Highness again. But if he refuses to see you, you must not press the matter further." That day, Freya waited in her chamber for a long time, but William never returned. Instead, a physician appeared. The moment she saw him, she recoiled onto the bed, her eyes brimming with suspicion.

"Don't touch me!" "My lady, | only wish to check on your vitals," the physician, James Davis, said gently. Freya's face was still a mask of terror. "Don't touch me! | forbid it! Hannah Brown, the elderly woman who had accompanied the ---- physician, scowled at her. "My lady, | advise you to cooperate for the physician's sake. He can't leave until his work is done." "Who are you to speak to me like that?" Freya shot back. After all the indignities she had suffered at the cleaning house, she hadn't expected to be met with such coldness upon returning to Hawthorne Estate.

Did they not know who she was? She was Frederick's woman! Hannah rolled her eyes. "Honestly, you've got no shame. You stil think you're the beloved woman His Highness favors?" "What do you mean by that?" Freya demanded. "His Highness has cast you aside. Why do you still pretend otherwise? You're good for nothing now. Do you really think you're still someone of importance?" Hannah had been watching for some time. She was convinced Frederick no longer wanted this woman. He had brought her back only out of kindness and a scrap of old affection "You lie. Fred can't have abandoned me.

If he had, why would he have sent a physician to see me?" Freya retorted. Her body and spirit had been broken of late, and Frederick was her only hope. She wouldn't tolerate anyone saying he no longer wanted her. ---- "You old hag, if you speak more nonsense, I'll rip your mouth off! " Freya snarled "Do you truly think the physician was sent at His Highness's bidding?" Hannah laughed. "How amusing. You would have me die of laughter." "What-" "It was on Mr. Klein's order. He said that you can't die here, or the whole kingdom would put the blame on His Highness.

That's why a physician was sent to check on you, but only to keep you alive as a miserable shadow of yourself!" Hannah's gaze fell on Freya's lower body. She glanced once as if beholding something filthy, then hurriedly averted her eyes, her face twisted with disgust. "Everything's been stitched together, and you're no longer a proper woman. And yet you still dream that His Highness would pine for you? Which man would want a creature like you? Youre no longer a woman, You're a monster. It's revolting. Absolutely revolting!"
