Chapter 52 Why Does The House Stink?


    Isabe did not know how she should react to that


    "Fuck Sister inw, can that medicine really detoxify the body" Roger Lockwood looked at Isabe expectantly Then he exchanged nces with his brothers, and they ran downstairs, shoving one another. Afte that, they huddled together again.


    "Don''t take mine. That''s mine!"


    "You took the wrong one It''s mine! Bernard Lockwood, have some shame!"


    In the end, they each took a medicine bottle and squeezed their way upstairs.


    The elders who were clueless about things like that were confused.


    "Be, you mean those pills that detoxify the body like in martial arts dramas? Is it the kind of divine medicine that can restructure the body?" Mia Lockwood leaned over and asked, her bright eyes full of anticipation.


    Jeanne and Philip Lockwood also looked over at Isabe.


    Their intent gazes made Isabe feel nervous. She said solemnly, "It''s not as exaggerated as in television dramas. That pill has beautification effects and can strengthen the body..."All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.


    The elders looked at each other. Then they rushed downstairs, all the while trying to maintain their dignity as


    elders


    Macpherson trembled with excitement. He struggled to shove Wilson aside and hurried downstairs in huge. strides. "I have something to do downstairs. Second Brother, don''t block me."


    "I also have something to do downstairs. The two of you are too disrespectful to your big brother." Philip jostled his two younger brothers.


    Wilson and Macpherson were bumped aside.


    Philip then strode downstairs in a flurry.


    "Philip Lockwood!"


    Jeanne called out to Philip in a sophisticated voice. Her tone was gentle, but it made people feel an inexplicable sense of danger.


    Philip stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Jeanne with a stiff smile. He extended his hand and said, "Honey, please. I know you have something to do downstairs, too." Jeanne nced at him. Then she held Mia''s hand and left in satisfaction.


    The three men looked at them eagerly, not daring to take a step forward. They were afraid that the two women would be unhappy.


    In this family, their status would never beparable to these queens!


    They didn''t dare provoke them at all!


    Isabe blinked and silently watched the scene. The three tall men could only stand by a corner pitifully while the three women had the entire pathway to themselves. Draxton held Isabe''s hand and squeezed it. He tilted his head and whispered to her, "Be, you''re amazing. You conquered them all!"


    Isabe pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She tilted her head and looked at him with her dazzling eyes. She met his midnight blue eyes and asked, "Then did I conquer you?" Draxton''s eyes darkened, his grip on her hand tightening. His voice had be hoarse. "I just can''t get enough of you. Every. Night."


    Despite his serious expression, his words were ambiguous.


    Isabe''s ears instantly turned red, and her eyes glistened in the light. She red at him and pursed her lips. Then she asked, smiling, "Aren''t you going downstairs?" She turned and saw that Philip and his two brothers had followed the three women downstairs.


    "I''m not in a hurry." Draxton''s eyes shed.


    "Why not? Although those pills aren''t as exaggerated as what''s described in television dramas and novels, it still benefits the body."


    "There''s no rush," Draxton said earnestly.


    "Besides, you didn''t give me that pill," Draxton used while staring at her.


    Isabe was stunned. “Don''t look at me like that!" she screamed internally. She couldn''t stand his gaze. It was too adorable...


    This was because she often saw it on the faces of Ricky and Betty.


    That gaze could melt her heart.


    Isabe rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, "I forgot about you."


    "You''ve... forgotten me?" Draxton narrowed his charming eyes. His powerful aura slowly approached and enveloped her.


    Isabe froze for a moment, and her heart raced. She admired the man''s face that was so close to her, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. "So what? What are you going to do about it?" Draxton''s breath quickened. He stretched out his long arm and let Isabey in his arms. He said in a deep voice, "I''ll punish you!"


    Isabe was surprised.


    In an instant, she was already in this man''s arms.


    He was tall and slender, and his arms were strong. He carried her like it was nothing.


    The atmosphere turned steamy. Draxton strode toward his room. However, the door they passed by had opened.


    Ava hade out of the toilet. She was in leisure clothes and had her hair bunned up, just like one would


    look at home.


    "Oh my god! Don''t I look 20 years younger? Look at my skin! It''s so supple! Be, my goodness! What was that pill?


    "And my body feels invigorated!" Ava eximed once she came out of the toilet.


    Then, she was met with the gazes of Draxton and Isabe.


    Draxton still had Isabe in his arms.


    Ava felt so awkward in that instance.


    Draxton put Isabe down wordlessly.


    Isabe coughed lightly and smiled. "Second Aunt, how do you feel now?"


    Ava also knew that her appearance was bad timing, but she was just too excited.


    She grabbed Isabe''s hand and looked at her fervently. "Be, tell me, is your true identity a fairy daughter who has descended to the mortal world? Did you give me an immortal pill?"


    Isabe didn''t know whether tough or cry. She smiled and said, "Second Aunt, you''re exaggerating. It''s just a pill with medicinal effects!"


    Ava tightened her grip on her hand. "Be. It''s not an exaggeration. It''s not an exaggeration at all. Look at Second Aunt. Look at my skin. The fine lines at the corners of my eyes are gone. People would believe that my skin is not even 30 years old!


    "Besides, I''ve never felt so light andfortable in my mind and body, and now my body feels full of power!"


    Isabe kept smiling as she listened to her while Draxton stood at the side with a dark expression.


    He looked at Ava. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He wondered why Ava was still pestering Isabe when she knew she had interrupted their time together.


    Ava was so excited that she didn''t notice how resentful Draxton looked.


    Isabe had been paying attention to Draxton. She couldn''t help butugh when she saw his expression darken with time. The more she interacted with him, the more she realized how cute this man was. Of course, she had never forgotten how terrifying this man was.


    After a while, Ava finally finished what she wanted to say. Draxton thought that he could finally get Isabe


    out of there.


    But then, the door to Kevin''s room opened with a loud bang.


    Kevin ran out in a hurry. When he saw Isabe, he pounced on her and hugged her. He shouted, "Sister-inw, I love you! I''m your biological brother. Sister-inw, you must acknowledge me as your biological brother!"


    The veins on Draxton''s forehead twitched. Finally, he could not take it anymore. He grabbed the back of Kevin''s cor and pulled him off Isabe!


    When Kevin saw that it was Draxton, he shrank his neck and instantly quietened down. However, he still looked at Isabe intently and winked at her secretly.


    Isabe could not help but smile. "How is it?"


    Kevin calmed down a little and said, "Sister-inw, that medicine of yours is amazing. At first, my legs were prickly and ufortable, but after my body expelled the impurities, my legs felt unprecedentedly rxed. It felt amazing. It was as if my legs have never suffered an injury!"


    Isabe said, "I don''t know how serious your injuries are, so I can''t tell if your leg haspletely recovered. However, take one pill every day and it won''t be a problem for you to recoverpletely." Ava also said, "Be, I fell ill when I gave birth to Kevin. I''ve not been feeling very well for the past two years, but now I feel morefortable than ever. Be, you''re my lucky star!" Isabe smiled and said, "It''s good that Second Aunt feels better."


    It was then the others also returned with their bottles of medicine. Isabe Thompson could not help but remind them again, "It''s best to take the medicine when you''re on an empty stomach." Everyone looked at her and then rushed back to their rooms. Clearly, they could not wait any longer.


    Draxton and Isabe were no longer in the mood. Ava also pretended that she did not ruin the couple''s ns. She held Isabe''s hand excitedly and walked downstairs. Jeanne and Mia were about to go upstairs when they saw Ava. Needless to say, they were astonished by her change.


    "Ava..."


    "Ava, gosh..."


    Both of them looked at Ava with their mouths agape. Ava smiled at them and said, "I''ve be youthful, haven''t I?"


    "It''s more than just that!" Mia eximed.


    She was just in awe.


    Jeanne muttered, "Oh my god, my daughter-inw is immortal!"


    With that, she patted Draxton''s shoulder in relief. "Son, I''m so touched. I never thought that you would marry an immortal. I love you!"


    She went in for a kiss after she finished speaking.


    However, she kissed Isabe instead of Draxton.


    Isabe and Draxton were dazed.


    One of them was speechless, while the other did not know how she should react.


    Mia stared at Ava, who looked at least 10 years younger. She was so excited that her eyes turned red. She held the medicine bottle and rushed upstairs, saying to Isabe, "Be, your gift is too extraordinary and precious. It''s a priceless treasure. I''ll thank youter when I''m done."


    After that, she disappeared upstairs.


    Ava chuckled, "Ava is someone who likes to show off. She cares about looks the most in our family. Now that she has this pill, she''ll be overjoyed. In the future, she''ll probably hail you as her goddess. Haha." Isabe smiled in response. "Everyone loves beauty, but healthes first. Only with health will there be beauty. This pill was developed for health. The beautification is just an add-on."


    Ava said emotionally, "Be, tell me. From whom did you learn your medical skills? I can tell your master is not someone ordinary just from the effect of this pill."


    Kevin leaned over and said, "Sister-inw, I don''t mind being lower in seniority. I''m willing to acknowledge you


    as my master. Please ept me as your disciple!"


    He pretended to kneel.


    Draxton lifted him up by his cor and threw him aside expressionlessly.


    Isabe rubbed her forehead and chuckled. She looked up inadvertently and saw Draxton Lockwood staring at her.


    She felt guilty and remembered that she had never told him about herself.


    Their rtionship had developed faster than she had imagined. Of course, most of the time, they weremunicating with their bodies. Because Draxton had been hunting her down for the past five years, Isabe Thompson had no intention ofmunicating with him previously. However, everything was different now.


    She shifted her gaze down. Her eyshes trembled slightly as she said, "Second Aunt, I was taught at the Sanctum of Holy Doctors."


    Her words were directed at Ava and Draxton.


    "The Sanctum of Holy Doctors?"


    Ava was taken aback. "The current head of the medical field, the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, seems to be called Carlos Orwell. Be, could it be that you''re his..."


    Isabe shook her head. "No, Carlos Orwell is the disciple of Grandmaster. He was expelled from the sect early on. He calls himself the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors because he thinks I''m already dead."


    Ava''s eyes widened in shock.


    A rtive of her maternal family had paid a huge price to hire Carlos Orwell for medical treatment. However, things did not go the way they expected.


    But it turned out that Carlos was just a traitor who was dispelled by the sect...


    That reminded her of Bridget Riker from the Riker family. That girl had imed she was the sessor of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, hence exining her arrogance. She even said that she couldn''t bepared to ordinary socialites.


    However, both Bridget and Carlos were nothingpared to Isabe.


    Ava wanted to speak, but Draxton''s expression darkened. He suddenly said, "Second Aunt, Be and I still have something to do. You and Kevin should go and rest."


    Without waiting for Ava to reply, Draxton grabbed Isabe''s hand and led her upstairs. He did not give Ava and Kevin any chance to hold Isabe Thompson back. Isabe looked at the man who held her hand. He was unusually quiet.


    Isabe understood he was perturbed with her not telling him about all these things.


    But it wasn''t her fault, was it?


    The architecture and interior design of the old residence were both traditional-style. Draxton pressed Isabe onto an armchair. Then he sat opposite her.


    "Let''s talk," Draxton said.


    Then he stared at her.


    Isabe returned the stare.


    Draxton was frowning, his gaze intensifying. His thin lips pursed tightly, and his body was tense. It was as if his aura was telling Isabe that he wasn''t in a good mood.


    "You haven''t really trusted me until now," he began, a rare note of grievance in his voice.


    Isabe said, "If I didn''t trust you, I wouldn''t have married you. I wouldn''t havee to your house today to see your family and even showed you my trump card."


    "Trump cards... Do you mean those pills or the sect you belong to? Are these your trump cards?" He looked at her silently.


    Isabe fell silent.


    "Of course not," she thought.


    What she had shown today was just one of her trump cards.


    But she didn''t want to lie to this man now, so she nodded. "I guess so."


    Draxton said, "I will make you fall in love with me and trulymunicate with me."
