Page 40 of The Royal Beast & His Rising Queen

"Rana sa...where are we??", Isha asked, Bhairav is about to walk inside but Abhyansh showed his palm which stopped him...

"Stay here everyone", Bhairav ordered everyone as per the king's order... Abhyansh walked in and Isha has no option but to follow her husband...

"Rana sa...now tell me... where are we??", she asked again when they came far from Abhyansh's men...

"Your doctor, we were about to visit along before but couldn't... so here we are...", he said trying to avoid that topic but she mentioned it for him...

"We didn't visit because you locked me up in our room for one week, my punishment, of course, I remember... I don't want to go to the doctor now... let's go back", Isha said her mood getting bitter...

"I know you didn't forgive me for that yet... and I understand, but let's go in,Ishaplease, go inside for me, that mark on your wrist troubles me a lot, I was very cruel to you...", Abhyansh asked holding her palm... his distraught didn't go well with her...

"Okay...", she said rubbing his palm saying it's fine...

They entered the doctor's cabin, the doctor got up in respect to the king and queen...

"I sincerely apologize for asking you to visit the clinic Maharaj... the equipment and diagnostic centre is all here, so I had to ask you to come here...", the elderly doctor said bowing his head to which Abhyansh nodded...

The doctor examined the burnt mark on Isha's wrist, he instantly understood that she came in contact with the hot metal and the mark showed that it was probably a watch...

"Rani sa... can I ask you how you got it, I...if you don't mind??", the doctor stuttered...

"Does that have anything to do with the treatment??", Abhyansh asked in his cold tone...

"Y...Yes Maharaj...", the doctor fumbled...

Abhyansh didn't want to reveal anything to anyone regarding how he tortured his wife, not because he is afraid of his reputation, but his wife's, he was already a beast in people's eyes, and he never cared what they thought of him, but he didn't want her to get humiliated... and Isha didn't want anyone to know about it for her husband's sake...

"A hot metallic watch pressed to my wrist, I was forced to keep wearing it for some time... that's enough information to treat it I guess doctor??", Isha said politely

"Ji Rani sa...", the doctor said examining it, he did some tests and prescribed ointments and creams, he also suggested massage and pressure therapies for it...

"There are surgical and laser treatments as well, do you want to know about them Maharaj??", the doctor asked after suggesting all the treatment plans...

"No", Abhyansh was quick to respond even before his wife... Isha sighed in relief... she knew her husband is determined to get rid of that scar and for a second, she thought he would agree to those procedures as well...

"Please keep visiting me once in every two weeks, we need to keep track of the improvement and change the treatment accordingly.. for now, we'll stick to therapies and creams and ointments, since the skin is burnt badly and no first aid was done in the proper time, it takes a lot of time and patience to heal it, the progress would be negligible but I suggest you to be patient and consistently follow the treatment procedure... kindly don't skip applying the ointments...", the doctor advised, all the while, Abhyansh fisted his palms to control his anger on himself... Isha noticed this...

"Okay, thank you, doctor, we'll leave now", she said hurriedly, took her husband's hand, and walked out of the doctor's cabin... the doctor kept staring at their retreating figures commending their queen's bravery, she dared to hold the king's palm and drag him out?? He stood dazed, though she is his wife, none ever expected the BEAST to actually give any living being that liberty.

"Sh... it's okay, calm downRana sa...don't think much", Isha said softly, rubbing his palm...

"I'm even ashamed to say 'sorry', you suffered a lot... I don't know how to rectify thingsIsha...", he said averting her eyes, he couldn't look into her eyes after that... his heart is bleeding, he experienced maddening fury on himself... "let's go home", he said in an urge, he wanted to punish himself... how the hell could he do that... Isha knew what he is up to...

"No, we are not going home... show me around", Isha said

"Isha... I know what you are trying to do, this isn't the time...", Abhyansh said trying to control his fury...

"Your maddening urge to hurt yourself should go now Rana sa... and I am willing to do anything for it", Isha said

"Rani sa...", Abhyansh said in his pissed tone while walking towards their car... his men are terrified hearing his tone... they understood their king is mad and anyone who comes in his way now are gone...

"You wanted to hurt yourself because you are angry with yourself for hurting me, but do you realize you are again doing the same by harming yourself,Rana sa...I'm warning you, from today, if I find even a scratch on your body, you won't see me for a week... the same punishment as you gave me, since I can't lock you up, I'll go with this", Isha said after they sat in the car and closed the partition... she knew she can't speak to him in front of people... so she controlled her fury till they entered the car...

"Isha...", he called in a warning tone...

"It won't scare me... hurt yourself today and see what I do", Isha said sternly, his warning tone did scare her but she showed otherwise, Abhyansh would have laughed at her stern tone ifhe wasn't so mad at himself... she dialled her brother's number, Abhyansh frowned at her brother-in-law's name even, he had an idea why she is calling him now... he sighed at his wife... now he hated giving so much liberty to his wife that she completely stopped listening to him...

"Bhai... be ready to pick me up, I'll call you in the night at any time, I am thinking of staying with you guys for a week or more... depends on my mood", Isha said looking at her husband who understood her code language... a week or more depends on the level of extent he injures himself...
