Chapter 507


    Philip took Isabe back home while Stanton went straight to the hospital.


    Although Yvette and Isaac looked severely injured, they had only sustained superficial wounds.


    By the time Stanton arrived, Yvette''s wounds had already been stitched up and bandaged.


    The bullet in Isaac''s leg had also been removed and was being cleaned.


    As soon as Isaac saw Stanton, he tensed up involuntarily.


    Stanton ignored him and went straight to Yvette.


    ''Does it hurt, sweetheart?" Stanton asked in a gentle voice.


    ''No, it doesn''t," Yvette replied while looking over worriedly at Isaac.


    Stanton was unhappy as he felt like his own daughter always cared for that fool and didn''t take him, her own father, seriously.


    "Look at all these bandages on you. How can you still say it doesn''t hurt?" Stanton rebuked.


    Yvette replied, "The anaesthesia hasn''t worn off yet, so even with all these bandages, my wounds don''t hurt."


    Stanton was momentarily speechless.


    He red fiercely at his useless daughter, feeling that she was too quick to undermine him. She even talked back to him while her eyes seemed to be glued to that fool. Irritated, Stanton stood up and walked directly to Isaac.


    Isaac was usually a fierce fighter who feared none. But at that instant, he gulped nervously and was stuck like a statue.


    Stanton said contemptuously, "You''d better take good care of your leg. If you end up being disabled, you can only dream of being with my daughter then. Do you hear me?" After his monologue, he turned and left with gusto.


    Isaac was dumbfounded.


    His eyes met Yvette, and asked, "Yvette, what did Mr. Barker mean just now?"


    Yvette replied calmly, "He just asked you to take good care of your injury and not to be disabled. Otherwise, he won''t allow me to be with you!"


    Isaac anxiously said, "No, you exin it more clearly. I...I don''t quite understand."


    Yvette pursed her lips and chuckled. "If you want to be with me, recover from this and don''t make yourself a cripple."This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    When she saw Isaac''s conflicted emotions of happiness and worry, Yvette smiled and said, "Even if you''re really disabled, I won''t despise you."


    When Isabe returned to the Barker family''s residence, she got chided again by Jeanne as a result of Philip telling on her leaving home.


    She obediently sat on the sofa, drinking soup, promising not to take risks easily in the future.


    "Since Henderson Lockwood is no longer a threat, let''s get going, Jean," Philip looked at Jeanne with anticipation.


    Unexpectedly, Jeanne shook her head. "Since Draxton is not here, I have to keep an eye on Be so she will not go running around again." Philip paused for a moment.


    He suddenly expressed pain in his foot as if he had kicked something hard.


    Isabe was so tickled and amused. She turned to Jeanne and said, "Mom, don''t worry about me. I''ll return to Dawton City with the child now. You and dad can go ahead and have fun without worrying about me."


    Philip''s eyes lit up and he gave Isabe a look of approval.


    Isabe held back herughter.


    Jeanne looked serious and said, ''No, even if we really go ahead, I have to take you back personally before I can rx."


    Isabe didn''t say anything further.


    Philip didn''t object, either. To him, it didn''t matter where they went, as long as he could be with his wife. If they had to make an extra trip to


    Dawton City, so be it. Philip Lockwood and Jeanne Lockwood apanied her together.


    When Isabe said she wanted to return to Dawton City, she really meant it. In just two days, she said goodbye to the Barker family and took a chartered flight back to Dawton City. Philip and Jeanne both apanied her.


    Dawton City.


    The President was ying the piano in the greenhouse in the Presidential Pce. The tuneing from the instrument made the people around him feel unsettled. Jasper Willsmith sat across the President respectfully.


    Anna and Jason stood outside the greenhouse, listening to the sounds of the pianoing from inside. A strange expression was stered on Jason''s face.


    After holding it in for a long time, he finally walked over to Anna and asked, "What''s going on? Hasn''t the President always liked painting? Why is he ying the piano today?


    "And...


    "The President today was not dressed in his usual light-colored suit but instead an all-ck one. With his current gaze and demeanor, it sends an inexplicable chill down one''s spine."


    Anna''s expression was much more grim than usual. She looked at Jason and pulled him away from the greenhouse''s door. They walked to a quieter corner before she whispered, "You must be carefultely. As you can see, the President is not quite himself these days."


    Jason nodded and asked, "What''s going on?"


    Anna replied, "The President''s other side will emerge every half a year.


    "I remember when I was a child, it appeared once every two or three years, butter it became once a year.


    "Now, it appears every half a year. I don''t even know how long it willst this time."


    Anna seemed tense and anxious.


    Jason''s face became somber. "Anna, what do you mean by his other side?"


    Anna lowered her voice and said, "You can think of it as his alter ego."


    His alter ego?


    Jason could not help but gasp.


    Jasper turned his head and looked outside, reporting to the President, "Sir, they are talking about you."1


    President kept ying the piano and said, "Jasper, you''re not focused on listening to the music."


    He looked slightly displeased.


    Jasper immediately straightened his posture and said, "It''s my fault, Sir."


    The President said, "He''s a neer. Naturally, he would be curious after seeing me like this for the first time."


    "That kid is from the Lang family and is Isabe Thompson''s blood rtive," Jasper said.


    The President didn''t respond. Only when he finished ying the piece did he look up at Jasper and chuckle softly. Hisughter was sinister. "So what if he is? From my memory, Isabe never even recognized the Lang family."


    Jasper said, "Sir, what I mean is that Isabe has a strong physique. She was able to integrate with the Evolution Poison sessfully and even survived after being injected with ck Crystal Potion. "Who knows, maybe other members of the Lang family have these outstanding genes as well."


    He looked in the direction of Jason Lang.


    The President nodded thoughtfully. "Indeed. But let''s not touch Jason for now. I received news that Draxton Lockwood went to Southeast Aelinne, and Henderson Lockwood seems to have been taken care of by Isabe.''


    "That''s good. Thetest news is that Isabe is on a ne back to Dawton City."


    The President paused, and a hint of wickedness appeared on his usually warm and smiling face. He chuckled mischievously. "I don''t think it is enough that Draxton went to Southeast Aelinne alone. I think having Isabe Thompson tag along would be even more exciting.


    "She wants to return to Dawton City? Why? It''s much better to go to Southeast Aelinne!"


    His tone was like that of a sulking child.


    Jasper was stunned upon hearing that and asked carefully, "Sir, what do you mean?"


    The President waved his arms and said, "Find a way to get her to Southeast Aelinne. She can do prenatal care anywhere. It doesn''t have to be in Dawton City!"


    Realization dawned upon Jasper. The President must find Southeast Aelinne too quiet and peaceful.


    He asked cautiously, "Sir, if something happens to Isabe Thompson in Southeast Aelinne, will things be out of control? Will we have to go to war with the Lockwood family? There is no turning back." "What are you afraid of? I want to see a good show. The more chaos, the better."


    His tone was mischievous, even somewhat evil.
