Chapter 143 Feelings for a sick man

Doris knocked hesitantly. Two guards eyed her as she approached his room, but said nothing. She wasn’t sure if they recognized her or not-she wasn’t even in her uniform yet. It was exhausting to even consider having to step back into her old role. Would they put her at the library? Perhaps she should talk to William about it when he felt better.

William didn’t respond when she knocked again, louder this time. If his guards weren’t at the door, she would have thought he wasn’t inside.

“Will – Prince William? It’s Doris.” She said through the door. Her cheeks reddened when his guards gave her another strange look when she almost called him William. A bit of shuffling came through on the other side before the door was pulled open. He looked disheveled and his room was a mess as if he had thrown everything around inside.

“You should go, I’m not in the mood.” He grumbled. Doris had to fight the itch to brush his messy hair out of his eyes. “I want to be alone.”

“Are you okay? I can go prepare something for you, or if you’d like some tea-”

“Don’t do that. Stop acting like you have to serve me every second of the day.” He gripped her arm and yanked her inside before he slammed the door.

She stumbled in and straightened herself with a breath. “I was just trying to help—”

“It doesn’t help. I don’t want you to act like my maid right now!” He shouted and kicked a fallen pot out of his way. It shattered into a million pieces. “And don’t you fucking dare offer to clean this room.”

“Prince William, I’m not trying to—“

William stopped where he was and turned to face her slowly. “Say that again.”
