Chapter 42


    Isabe gasped, and her face contorted. She bent over and curled up. Thebunny girls were shocked. They exchanged a look, their heads sobering up.


    “Stop faking. We didn’t do anything.”? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Kiki was a little panicked too. She frowned and pushed Isabe again. “Hey,stop it.”


    Isabe couldn’t hold it anymore. After Kiki pushed her again, her legs gaveout, and she fell sideways. The frightened bunny girls moved backward.


    Gordon and Tyrone came down to get breakfast, but they were met with anunconscious person lying across the corridor. “What are you doing?” Gordoncould see that it was Isabe. So, he charged ahead without thinking andpushed the girls away. Then, he picked Isabe up. “Isabe! How are youfeeling?”


    Isabe was shivering all over as she whispered, “It hurts…”


    Gordon’s eyes were bloodshot from him staying up all night. After Isabe’squiet moan, he felt anger ring up within him. He held Isabe in his armsand turned around to kick Kiki. “Damn you!”


    The bunny girls were scared. Although Kiki knew that the blow would be bad,she didn’t dare dodge it. As a result, she soon found herself leaning againstthe wall for support due to the kick. Still, she was too scared to do anythingbut that.


    Gordon was about to attack her again, but Tyrone stopped him. “Ignore them.Take her to the infirmary.”


    Gordon stopped immediately and strode away with Isabe in his arms.Isabe was tense as she clenched her teeth, enduring the excruciatingagony. Her brain was mush, and her pain sensory nerves were on fire.


    Shehad no idea where Gordon was taking her. Still, when she tasted the scent ofantiseptic, she sobered up a little. Just my luck. Third doctor’s visit this month.


    “Acute gastroenteritis. Two doses of IV infusion for now, and we’ll see whathappens next.”


    She could hear the doctor speaking, and then Gordon and Tyrone askedquestions. Isabe curled up to soothe the pain a little. After a while, shecould feel someone gently tugging her hand. Yet, she remained in a fetalposition, refusing to budge.


    “IV infusion, Isabe.” Gordon patted her arm.


    “Yeah…” Isabe snapped out of it and extended her hand. She couldn’t evenfeel the prick. All her attention was on her belly.


    In a daze, she thought she heard Seth’s icy voice ying in her head. It wassomething he said in the past. Everything that fell from his lips was alwaysvenomous and cold. Isabe said, “The b*stard…”


    Gordon was right beside her, but he didn’t hear her clearly. When he huddledcloser to hear her better, she wasn’t talking anymore.


    Seth was tormented by the meds for a whole night, but he kept his shouts in,or that woman would argue with him. He drifted to sleep right before dawn. Ina daze, he heard something, but when he opened his eyes once more, it wasalready nearly 9.00AM.


    “You’re awake,” said someone gently. Not Isabe, of course. Even when shewas in a good mood, she would only talk monotonously. She sounded awfuleven then. He turned around, and everything was getting clearer. Then, hesaw who was standing beside the bed. “Why are you here?”


    “It’s nine. I couldn’t just leave you alone, so I’ve been here all this time.” Selenalooked worse for wear. She wasn’t wearing any makeup, and she was holdinga ss of water. Then, she asked tentatively, “Should I wet your mouth withsome Q-tips?”


    Seth frowned as he said coolly, “How long have you been here?”


    “Three hours, maybe four.” Selena put the ss of water down, and she saidnothing more.


    Seth looked outside the bedroom, his face deadpan.


    Selena looked in the direction he was looking at, and she said, “Isabe left awhile ago. Urgent business.”


    Seth chortled. He looked dismissive. “She’s just a salesgirl. Nothing in her life isurgent.”


    Selena smiled, looking gentle and sweet as she defended Isabe,


    “Salespeople are busy. They have to deal with all sorts of customers. She hasit hard.”


    Seth closed his eyes and pursed his lips. He didn’t want to talk about Isabeanymore.


    Selena remained standing beside his bed, staring at his face like she wasworshipping a work of art. She was careful even when she was breathing.


    Selena eventually bit her lip and clenched her fists. She had made up hermind about something.
