Chapter 151


    After Isabe made that statement, Seth rolled up the car window, revved up


    the car, and stepped on the pedal. Imperia was a bustling city. Even at night,


    the traffic on its outskirts was still congested. Seth maneuvered through the


    highway and entered a tunnel. He skillfully navigated past other cars as if he


    were driving a go-kart. Isabe, sitting in the passenger seat, was jostled


    around. She tightly gripped her seatbelt, fearing for her life.


    Isabe reyed her answers in her mind. Hey, my response was perfect. I


    told him that I was toning down my ambition and marrying someone else so


    he wouldn’t think I had any intentions towards him. So, what’s his problem?


    The car elerated, and Isabe thought she heard police sirens. “If you


    keep speeding like this, Mr. Shaffer, you’ll be making headlines tomorrow.”


    “I won’t be the only one making headlines,” Seth replied.


    Damn it. What did I ever do to deserve this treatment from you? Isabe felt


    like she was going crazy. She had been starving the entire day and thought


    she might die. Now, with Seth tormenting her, she genuinely believed she Chapter 151 In The Hospital


    With Seth


    might not make it. She wanted to vomit, but she couldn’t if there was nothing


    to throw up.


    “Seth…”


    Seth thought he heard someone calling out to him from the passenger seat.


    He was about to say something when he heard Isabe retching. His eyes


    widened as a painful memory flooded his mind. “Please don’t throw up.”


    Isabe was on the verge of tears due to frustration. “I can’t hold it in…” She


    retched again, but nothing came out.


    Seth couldn’t ignore his frustration any longer. He turned the car around and


    drove to the hospital. Isabe continued retching in the passenger seat. Her


    head was spinning, and she felt cold inside. She thought she might die


    because she could hear her mother’s voice in her head.


    Damn it. If I die here, it’ll probably be due to starvation. Former head secretary


    of the Shaffer Group dies from starvation. How ridiculous! I’ve lived my whole


    life as aw-abiding citizen, and this is how it ends? The inte will find out


    how I ended up in this mess. They’ll discover that I’ve been fatherless since I


    was little and start writing online theses about it, only to conclude that


    children are influenced by the families they grow up in.


    “Mr. Shaffer, enter the hospital through the backdoor.”


    Seth thought Isabe was acting strangely. He stared straight ahead, not


    responding to her.


    Isabe closed her eyes, her voice barely a whisper. “Mom…”


    Seth couldn’t hear her clearly, but he caught the word ‘Mom.’ He felt


    conflicted. Realizing that he would soon be blocked by the traffic ahead, he


    pounded his steering wheel a few times. The McLaren was an imposing


    presence, causing the cars in front to make way for Seth.


    Seth pressed down on the elerator, and the car sped ahead like the wind.


    It took him twenty minutes to reach the hospital in the city center. He opened


    the door, and the cool night breeze rushed into the car. Isabe was already


    drenched in sweat, shivering from the cold. She lifted her head in a daze and


    thought she saw Seth leaning over to pick her up.


    “No.” Isabe moved away.


    He let out a sigh and said patiently, “Come here, Isabe.”


    She shook her head. Despite her sickly paleplexion, she refused, “This


    won’t do.”


    Seth’s expression fell, and he got back into the car. “Come. Here,” he growled.


    Still in a daze, Isabe, feeling wronged, said, “You’re going to hold me and


    then use me of seducing you.”


    Seth was speechless.


    Isabe pouted and snapped at Seth. “Look in the mirror. You’re the one who

    looks like a pervert, not me.”


    He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He hissed, “Just one more time.


    Come here.”


    She turned away and clicked her tongue. “In most romance novels, you


    should be forcefully taking me by now.”


    Seth lost his patience. He swiftly entered the car like a panther, seizing his


    prey by the nape. Isabe was pulled out of the car by her cor. Still in a


    daze, she retched at Seth with all her might.


    Disgust filled his face. He removed his suit jacket and covered Isabe’s face.


    Then, he held her in his arms.


    The air outside was refreshing. Even with her face covered, Isabe took a


    few deep breaths.


    She stopped moving, causing Seth to feel uneasy. He couldn’t check if she


    was breathing because he was holding her. He only had one option left: the


    emergency department.
