Tempting My Rented Boyfriend - Chapter 152

Ch-151

After nearly an hour later, Tiffany returned to Mason’s ward with reports.

“Mr. Boris, your reports are out,” Tiffany announced as she entered the ward.

But when she raised her head, she saw a female in his ward.

“Sorry, Mr. Boris, I will be back after some time,” Tiffany said and disappeared.

Mason was stumped by her again.

Does this woman have some supernatural powers of a vampire or werewolves?

She appears and disappears so quickly. He wanted to take Tiffany’s arrival as an advantage and kick the viper from his ward. But looks like it wasn’t going to happen.

“I would like it if you leave this place,” Mason said feeling annoyed.

“I thought you loved me,” the woman said with a ‘sweet’ smile.

“I used to not anymore, Nathaira,” he replied.

“That hurts. Why are you being harsh with me?” Nathaira asked.

“Leave,” he said to her as he didn’t want to answer her anymore.

“Well… I will leave after I pass a piece of information to you,” Nathaira said as she took out her powder box before dabbing her face lightly.

“Make it quick,” Mason knew what would happen if one doesn’t do the things she liked.

“Do you know…. Cedric is hurt and got admitted in the same hospital?” Nathaira said.

“What do you mean?” he asked.

“Is that your breakfast?” she asks without answering his questions. Mason says nothing but sighs.

“hmm… I will take that as a yes then. You don’t mind if I eat it right?” she says. Without even waiting for his reply, she makes herself comfortable on the couch and starts eating his breakfast.

“I guess my brother got this breakfast,” Nathaira said.

“It doesn’t matter who got the breakfast. What happened to Cedric?” he asked, knowing she was not the right person to answer him. But still he did it.

“Hmmm…. Delicious,” she moaned. Mason has to say she still has an effect on him. If not… despite all her actions he was still staying back to listen to her.

Closing his eyes for a second, he stands up from his place to walk away.

“Oh… you are walking away. Don’t you wanna listen to what happened to him?” Nathaira says. Mason couldn’t take it anymore. Rage clouded his features, which resulted in appearing in front of her in a swift. He tried to choke her with his hands but she gave him a sarcastic smile despite her struggling.

“Bitch, don’t play games with me again. I was a fool back then not anymore,” he says through his gritted teeth.

“Bu-but yo-you still waited for my answers. You still get affected by my voice. To my presence and even to my name.” she says. They weren’t questions but the obvious statements. Deep down in his heart even Mason knew they were the truth, he doesn’t refute them. But he tightens his grip around her neck.

“Indeed… you are right. But your death would change it. I would no longer have an affect on you,” he says as he tightens grip around her neck as seconds passes. Nathaira struggles hard to break free from his grip.

For the first time in her life, she was scared. She was scared of death. Mason scared her. She could no longer use him as her puppet. If this goes on she would no longer have an affect on him. This couldn’t be happening. She needs him to do her dirty work just like before. She couldn’t let him go out of her grip.

“The reason for his hospitalization is you. He even hurted Eleanor because of you. Even though she is in the same hospital,” she managed to squeeze out the words, making him still in his place loosening his grip on her neck, giving her a break to take a deep breath.

Breaking free from his grip, she places her palms on her aching neck which were now covered in bruises. She fills her lungs greedily with air. Nathaira saw Mason was still standing in the same position with a shocked expression.

She knew she made it. She again threw him into her manipulation pit. With a victory smirk, she walks out of the ward. She saw Tiffany making her way to the ward with reports in her hands.

Stopping in front of her, she stops Tiffany. “I hope you will take good care of him,” she says with a warm smile. Tiffany just nodded, despite feeling something was wrong with her. She furrowed her brows at her, which was only countered with a wider smile from Nathaira. Now, she was sure something was off with this woman. But she was not in the mood or interested to find what was wrong with her. She only needed to take care of her patients.

She walked past her, for which Nathaira smirked at her before leaving, which was unnoticed by Tiffany.

Tiffany entered the ward and looked around. She didn’t find Mason anywhere. She wondered if he left the hospital. Or did that woman do anything to him? Knocking her head and cursing herself for bringing that woman into this unknown situation. She checked the whole room but found him nowhere.

Walking inside she heard some movement in the bathroom. She waited outside for him. But time passed and he didn’t come out yet. Seconds turned into minutes, minutes are like an eternity to her. After all there was a line of patients who were waiting for her visit. She couldn’t take it and decided to come after finishing her rounds. Standing up from her position, she took a step ahead to walk away. But only to be stopped when she heard his scream filled with agony and pain from the bathroom. Which said to her that he wasn’t using the bathroom but was trying to hurt himself.

Feeling anxious, she ran towards the bathroom. The door wasn’t locked which made it easier for her to enter inside. She saw him crouching on the floor with his bloodied hands. The wall painted red with his blood which he lost due to his constant punches on the wall.

Tiffany went near him and pulled him. Mason was shocked at the sudden pull. He looked at Tiffany who pulled him out of the bathroom. Before he could respond, she made him sit on the bed.

“See you are fine. Don’t hurt yourself. This is a safe place,” she said, trying to soothe him.

“I know. But they are not. I hurt Cedric. And now he hurt his wife and himself. I hurt everyone. I shouldn’t be here. I need to leave. My presence would only  hurt them more.” He says trying to leave. But Tiffany helds him in place. Mason was stronger than her in strength but it’s just that she knew the acu points that made him stay in his place.

“No. You are not the reason for Cedric being hurt. Cedric fainted because he overworked himself. And got punched by Valene. And Eleanor was here because she is down with high fever.

” A human body gets weak once in a while. That does not have anything to do with you. Whoever said that you hurt them is trying to fool them. I am the one who treated them personally,” Tiffany said, placing her hands on his shoulders.

Mason looked up at her with his childlike eyes, which were filled with innocence, pain and hurt. Tiffany couldn’t help but melt at his stare.

“Are they fine?” he asked.

“they are… They are worried about you. They don’t want you to hurt yourself. They want you to be fine, sound and healthy,” she says, placing her hands on his cheeks making him look at her.

“really?” he asks. She nods at him.

“But still it doesn’t change the fact they all are hurt because of me. Everything started and happened because of me!” he yells. Making Tiffany take two steps back.

“I bring misery to everyone around me!” he says, throwing the IV drip to the ground, which produced a loud cracking noise.

Tiffany was shocked at his outburst. She knew he had serious psychological problems. He was fine when she came earlier but after the woman he turned out like this. She must be the cause for him to behave like this. She needs to stop him. Now she understood what she meant.

Walking towards him, she held his hand. “See you are fine. The woman who visited you wants you to feel guilty for the things you didn’t do. Don’t listen to her. You are not a misery. You are a hope to others,“Tiffany said in a low voice. That soothed his aching heart.

“Why would Nathaira do that to me?” he asks her more like himself.

Tiffany can only guess the name of the woman who visited him earlier was Nathaira.

“The world has different kinds of people. Some like it when others suffer. Maybe she is jealous of you for what you possess,” Tiffany said.

“What is there for her to be jealous of? She is the legitimate daughter of Callan’s. She has a loving brother. She has a good circle of friends.. While… I am an illegitimate one, who gets bullied every time! Why does she do this to me?” he yells.
