Denied by Destiny: Trapped in the Shadows of the Mate Bond

Chapter 0355

- Josie -

Stepping into my home wasn't quite the quiet return from hospital I had expected. Word must have gotten out that Doctor Abel had signed me out first thing this morning as long as I promise plenty of bed rest.

He made a point of saying that he would visit to ensure I was following his orders, something that seemed to not sit well with Knox.

As much as I love this hospital, I preferred to be the one giving aid, not the one receiving it.

So, when I step through into the hallway and find banners and balloons screaming out, "Welcome Home", I can't help the smile land upon my face. I thought my return had remained discreet, that everyone would be busy at training. It grew wider when I spotted Jace in the corner next to Mum...happy that he hadn't left yet.

I knew he would, I could feel it, feel that he needed to leave but for what reason I still didn't know.

The identical male only a few feet away from him having the opposite feeling, wanting him to stay.

As soon as my eyes land on Jaxon, I hold his gaze....letting him know without words that he and I would have a private one to one when the time was right.

"Welcome home, how are you feeling?" Dad takes a step towards me, where Knox's hand was still wrapped around my waist. I think he feels that I am going to fall at any moment.

"I'm good, I just missed you all."

"Well Doctor Abel made it very clear you still need to rest, so after a return home breakfast you can go back to bed." Mum orders at me.
