Chapter 159
Seth burst out of the room, kicking the door open in anger.
With Seth’s intimidating presence gone, Isabe finally rxed, leaning
weakly against the headboard.
As she calmed down, she noticed her palms were damp with cold sweat. She
had lost control of herself-she had poured a bowl of soup over Seth’s head.
She pped her forehead and scolded herself in annoyance.
Seth never returned after that, and there was no exnation. He left Isabe
to dwell on her thoughts in the ward.
At 8.00PM, the doctor came to check on her, and she requested to be

discharged.
The doctor scolded her a bit and prescribed a bunch of medicines. “Young
Isabe listened, feeling a pang of bitterness. She valued her life too; it was
life’s pressures that had driven her to this point.
She packed her things and slowly made her way to the pharmacy to collect
her medications.
In the queue, two nearby nurses were whispering to each other.
“Mr. Larson from the third ward is so difficult to please. He’s been causing
trouble since he was admitted yesterday.”

“People like him are the worst. He looks down on the conditions of our
hospital. He might as well go to a private hospital.”
“His injury isn’t even serious, yet he insists on Dr. Witt performing the surgery.”
Isabe casually eavesdropped, grabbed her medication, and hurried away
while keeping an eye out for Christopher, the troublemaker.
She wore a mask as she stepped into the elevator, where only another
woman was present. The woman was well-dressed and moved to the side
when Isabe entered.
As the elevator doors closed, the woman began talking on the phone.

“All right. I’ve already bought it. It’s all your favorite food. I personally bought
them for you. Christopher, you’re being unreasonable!”
She went from being sweet as honey one moment to angry as a volcano the
next.
Isabe smirked as she observed quietly. Just moments ago, she overheard
nursesining about Christopher, and now she encountered his
girlfriend in the elevator. What a strange coincidence.
When the elevator doors opened, the woman, still fuming, continued to
berate Christopher, who was on the other end of the line.
Isabe quickly got out of the elevator, eager to distance herself from the
heated atmosphere.

Her phone rang again when she reached the first floor. It was a call from
Gordon.
She suddenly remembered that he had been stopped by Dariel yesterday,
and she wasn’t sure what had happened afterward.
She answered the call as she walked, and Gordon’s voice immediately came
through.
“Isabe, where are you? What happened? What did that jerk do to you?!”
Her lips twitched. “Everything’s fine. I just spent one night in the hospital.”
“What?” Gordon sounded incredulous.
She didn’t want to go into details, so she redirected the conversation before

he could ask more questions.
“What about you? Where are you?”
As expected, Gordon got sidetracked, and he immediatelyunched into a
series of curses.
“That scoundrel, Dariel, called my father, and I’ve been confined at home
sincest night!”
Isabe blinked, surprised by Dariel’s tactics. She felt likeughing but
thought it would be inappropriate. So, she restrained herself.
Once Gordon was done venting, she tried to console him. “Take a couple of
days off. How about I treat you to dinner when you’re free?”

Despite being on the phone, his mood remained foul, as if he was seething
with rage. Despite Isabe’s best attempts to calm him, his emotions
remained unsettled.
“Wait for me. I’ll be out tomorrow, and they’ll pay for this!”
She couldn’t help but feel amused. His threatening tone sounded no different
from a child throwing a tantrum.
Isabe continued to soothe Gordon a bit more. Once a cab arrived, she
quickly seized the opportunity to end the call.
Inside the cab, the driver asked for the destination. Isabe thought for a
moment and decided it would be better to check the situation at the

“Yourpany had an incident with a racing event yesterday, right?”
ncing at Isabe through the rearview mirror, the driverpared her
face with the one in the news.
Isabe adjusted her mask and cleared her throat. “I was sick and took leave
yesterday. I’m not fully aware of what happened.”
The driver nodded in understanding and turned his attention back to the
road. Then, he turned on the radio and started chatting away.
The entertainment news broadcasted on the radio had clear audio but no
visuals.
“Mr. Shaffer, ording to media reports, you were seen carrying a
mysterious woman out of the Shaffer Group Towerst night. Can you

confirm this?”
Isabe unconsciously tuned out the driver’s voice and focused solely on the
words from the broadcast, She was waiting for the man’s response.
The reporter repeated the question several times, but Seth remained silent
until the final inquiry, where he sounded visibly impatient.
“We’re both adults. We both consented. Do I need to report that to you?”
His usual arrogant tone came through, and his response was ambiguous,
leaving room for imagination.
Isabe’s face flushed as she listened to his voice. She purposely avoided
looking ahead for fear that the driver would notice the change in her

The driver, caught up in conversation, reacted to Seth’s words from the
broadcast. “Let me tell you, someone who speaks like that is usually not
responsible.”
She felt a twitch in her temples and forced a wryugh. Her emotions were
<pplex and tangled.
