Chapter 37

Trigger Warning - Talk of Rape and  Infertility

Josie Pov

"Yours Being discharged today Miss Hunter I bet that makes you happy doesn't it" the nurse said as she helped me fold my belongings into my bag.

"I guess" Though she seemed nice and cheery my mind wasn't in this room

All I could think of was going back to that Hell hole I call a house and being treated as nothing mere as a servant. I'm not even a human to them.

I wanted to cry yet I felt so exhausted, tears don't feel like they'd help the pain that family has caused me and I didn't know what to do anymore other than seek other ways to release my excess pain.

"You know I've seen the amazing things your family has done for city, you truly are a blessing to all of us. And done I'm done wihh your bag all you need to do is change and the doctor will be with you. I'll let you have your privacy now"her smile bright as she left the room humming.

My family... nice this comment made me scoff in disbelief

I bet being in the mafia needs a lot a charity work to cover up all the killings they were doing. I quickly changed my clothes while trying not to put any more harm onto my body. I hate having to see the way my body was bruised on every part of it.

It took 15 minutes for me to fit everything well enough so I could be comfortable that's when I heard a knock on the door making me sigh in annoyance.

"Come in"i spoke out just enough to be heard.

Thats when Aiden walked in with a warm smile he's soft demeanor always made me feel safe and comfortable that's what I really enjoyed about having him as a brother.

"Hey how are are you Sorellina"he hugged me though he tried not to hurt me in which he didn't. Which I was very grateful for.

I gave him a small smile and a hi when I  hugged him back and I smiled it safe being in his arms and that's what I needed right now having safety.

He seemed nervous for a moment as if he wanted to either say or ask something making me raise a eyebrow in curiosity.

"Are you ready to go back home" he asked with his hand reassuringly holding my hand.

"Its not like I have much of a choice Aiden I have no home that house is big and fancy but it will never be my home especially after what they did to me"

"I know but whatever happens we'll figure it out together okay" he said as he slowly let go of me and pecked the top of my head.

"Thank you" I said under my breath while he took my bags in his arms carrying them out of the ward.

Just as I was about to get out of the room the doctor approached me and asked to see me in his office though I felt vaguely suspicious each time anyone approaches me even those who seem trustworthy have the same probability of chances of betraying you.

He sat me down the office was plain white with a simple neat desk in the middle and a bed on the left hand side of the room.

"Morning Ms Hunter it's glad to see you up and rising" he awkwardly chuckled

"Let's get back to your injuries shall we.. Um so your ribs are still broken you need bed rest for 2 months while your on treatment to help the pain so that we prep you for surgery. Your cuts and bruises will fade eventually with time you don't have to worry bout that. "I nodded along as he spoke.

He took a deep breath before he said the words that shattered my heart completely.

" We did a few tests and a rape kit was conducted we could see multiple acts of trauma ontop your lower abdomen it was concluded  by one of the specialists that  noticed that due to all the harm it has made you unable to conceive a child. I'm sorry Ms Hunter you can't have children even so if you ever do get pregnant you could be putting your life at risk."

I mean I never thought much of having children but hearing that I couldn't have any broke my heart. I guess it's what I deserve either way what mother would I be to my child? I barely had a mother figure in my own life how could I take care of a child.

"I understand is that all?" I coldly answered him 

"Your Grandfather has booked you in for therapy.. - " my anger grew why'd I get book into therapy. I don't need to see a shrink.

"Therapy? I don't need therapy I'm fine I'm not crazy"

"Therapy isn't for crazy people Ms Hunter he's probably just concerned about your mental health. From the examinations of the scars on your body and your body language and reactions we can clearly see signs of abuse that's why a case has also been Opened"

Case, court, police!!!!

"How can you open a case or even sign me up for things without my own knowledge let alone consent" by this time I was enraged. I just want get into bed and forget about my own existence.

"Your still a minor Ms Hunter and your guardian has approved on it so there's nothing much you can do to it my apologies that you weren't informed sooner."

"Are you done? "I questioned

" Just one it's about your weight"

Oh shit  was he about to mention how fat I was

"Your close to being really underweight so a dietitian was placed to help you gain weight and this will also help your body heal faster and healthier" as soon as he was done I left his office in a hurry walking out of the building to see Aiden standing by the car.

"How'd it go with Doctor Steven's?" I felt all my frustration turn into tears slowly running down my cheeks.

He gently pulled me into his embrace his hands running through my hair I broke down in his arms.

"It's going to be okay your safe now Sorellina"

Soerllina- Little Sister
