Chapter 10
The scent of disinfectant filled Isabe’s nostrils,
causing her to furrow her brows. When she opened
her eyes, the initial blur gradually cleared to reveal
a world of white.
“You’re awake!”
Isabe lifted her head and saw a nurse beside her,
adjusting the IV drip. “…”
“You fainted. You’ve been here for an hour,” the
nurse said nonchntly.
Isabe propped herself up, taking in her
surroundings. It was a decent treatment room, and
the ce didn’t seem like an ordinary hospital.

The nurse nced at her and raised an eyebrow.
“You’re lucky. You fainted in the mall, covered in
coffee. A handsome guy brought you here.”
Only now did Isabe feel ufortable. She
lowered her head and learned that her outfit was
still covered in dried coffee. “Where is the person
who brought me here?”
The nurse clicked her tongue, and her cold gaze carried a hint of gossip. “That handsome guy is really
kind. He paid for your medical expenses and
originally wanted to wait for you. But he received a
call and had to leave in a hurry.”
Isabe sighed and pursed her lips. “Well, that’s a

The nurse was thinking or teasing ner but then
heard Isabe continue, “Could you please speed
up the drip? I still have work to do.”
“Being a white–cor worker is something else. You
have a high fever of 102.2F and are still thinking
about returning to work.” Albeitining, the
nurse increased the speed of the IV drip.
Isabe closed her eyes wearily, her mind filled with
snippets of Seth’s icy gaze. A shiver ran down her
spine, causing a cold sweat to form on her back.

“Isabe, what’s going on? Why are you taking so long to buy some coffee?”
Isabe frowned, realizing it was Jonas. She slowly
let out a breath. “Mr. Stokes, I fainted in the mall,
and now I’m at the hospital.”
“You’re at the hospital?” Jones sounded surprised
and oddly concerned. “Then, take the day off. Abby
has pretty much handled your tasks.”
Isabe had a gut feeling that these people weren’t
as kind as they seemed. But she didn’t have the
energy to argue now, so she exchanged a few
pleasantries and hung up.

The IV drip continued until nearly 4.00PM. When
Isabe left the hospital, the sun had already
started to set, so going to thepany at this time
would be pointless. She might as well go home.

With a pessimistic attitude, Isabe hailed a cab.
However, as soon as she arrived at the elevator,
she heard amotion.
“Get everything out. Hurry up!”
Isabe’s heart sank, and she quickly walked into
the corridor. As she expected, there were indeed
people moving her belongings out of her
apartment.

“What are you doing?”
The movers exchanged nces but had no
intention of acknowledging her. They continued
with their work.
Isabe quickly opened the door, only to run into
the property manager, Joshua Fox.
“Miss Symons, it took you long enough!”
Isabe was so angry that she felt suffocated.
While pointing at the things outside, she
demanded, “What’s going on?! Who gave you
permission to enter my home?”
Joshua spread his hands and looked a bit
disdainful. “You forgot to pay the rent. Thendlord
told us to move your things out, saying a new

tenant will be moving in soon.”
“Rent?”
Isabe froze. This apartment was arranged by
Ollie under Seth’s instructions two years ago. It was for her convenience tomute to thepany.
At that time, she was told that the rent was paid for three years. In the midst of her recent busyness,
she hadn’t even thought about the house.
“If you have a problem, call thendlord. It’s almost the end of the workday, and it’s not convenient for
us either.” Rolling his eyes, Joshua turned around
and continued instructing the workers to move
Isabe’s belongings.
Standing at the doorway, Isabe watched them

Joshua grumble as he continued toin, “All
this stuff needs to be taken away as soon as
possible, or we’ll have the cleaning crew do it.”
Isabe clenched the strap of her bag, her mind
racing. Her first instinct was to call Ollie, but she
stopped herself after taking a deep breath. She
was the one who chose to leave Seth, so it was
perfectly reasonable for him to retract everything.
In the end, she only had herself to me for not
handling the situation properly and leaving an
opening for others to humiliate her.
The corridor was filled with her belongings, leaving
no room to make even a step. Holding her phone,
she decided to seek help. “Hello…”

Half an hourter, Isabe stepped out of a cab.
The surroundings were dimly lit but rtively clean.
She found the house following the address
provided by Natasha Mills. It was an old standalone
vi, with the front gate covered in rust.
Since Natasha had given her the passcode, she
entered the yard directly and knocked on the main
door. Then, she heard a response from inside.
Click! The door opened.
“Come in.” Natasha had maroon wavy hair and
