The burning sensation on his back had subsided, and Seth felt much more at ease. He
Isabe was meticulous throughout the process. At the same time, she tried to be as
efficient as possible to avoid disturbing Seth’s rest.
She felt guilty and her emotions were stirred further when she saw the burst blisters on
Seth’s back. She racked her brain for ways to repay this favor.
Applying the medicine was a tedious process that needed to be done every two
nours
After the first application, Isabe had no intention of leaving.
With his back turned to her, Seth remained silent for a long time before finally saying,
“Leave.”

Feeling powerless, Isabe sighed and said softly, “You should sleep. I’ll stay and
change your medicine.”
“I can’t sleep with the sound of your breathing,” Seth said.
Immediately, Isabe opened a drawer, grabbed a mask, and put it on. “Can you still
hear my breathing?
Seth remained silent.
Isabe propped her chin on her hands andy down like a little puppy. She was
determined to take good care of Seth tonight, no matter what he said.
For her, repaying a personal favor was undoubtedly the most difficult of all favors.

Seth could guess her intentions without even opening his eyes, which exined why
he was annoyed and wanted to give her a hard time.

The room was quiet, with only the asional sound of footsteps from outside.
Isabe fought against her sleepiness. She constantly calcted the time in her head.
However, there was a limit to a human’s energy. Furthermore, she had been on edge all
night. Therefore, drowsiness came rushing in when things abruptly quieted down.
Just before she started to doze off, she instinctively grabbed the edge of Seth’s pants,
ready to assist him if needed.
Seth suddenly moved just as she was about to fall asleep.
Feeling her arm move, Isabe immediately sat up and stared nkly ahead.
Seth struggled to sit up. When he turned his head around, he saw Isabe’s dazed
expression.
After letting out a snort, he added, “And you’re supposed to take care of me. Judging by
Chapter 227 Taking Care Of Him
how deeply you sleep, no one would even know if I died in my sleep.”
Isabe licked her lips, feeling a little embarrassed. Then, she stood up. “What do you
need?”
Seth asked sarcastically, “Going to the bathroom. Are you going to help me with that,
too?”
As Isabe didn’t grasp the hidden meaning behind his words, she nodded immediately.
“Sure. I can help.”
“Huh,” Seth replied with a mocking tone.
Isabe paused for a while. Sensing the teasing tone in his voice, she looked up to
meet his eyes.
In the surrounding darkness, his eyes were surprisingly bright. A hint of mischief

shed in his pupils as his gaze swept over Isabe’s face.
Isabe realized something was off, and her cheeks involuntarily heated up. “I meant to
say that I can help you get there.
“My legs aren’t broken,” Seth said.
As he spoke, he swung his legs off the bed and stood up smoothly.
However, as he bent over, he inadvertently strained his back wound and let out a hiss of
pain as expected.
Isabe was rmed, and she promptly went to support him. “Be careful.”
Annoyed, Seth red at her. “This is all your fault.”
Isabe was at a loss for words. Even if Seth hadn’t said it, she knew she was to me

for tonight’s events.
For once, she didn’t retort, looking as meek as a young wife, Seth snorted and went to
the bathroom with a frown.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
Isabe waited outside the door. Deep down, she reflected on her actions and thought
about how to apologize to Seth.
The sound of running water came from the bathroom. Seth came out without sparing
Isabe a nce andy down again with a cold expression.
Isabe sighed before sitting down where she was.
Seeing that Seth was still awake when it was almost 2 a.m., she felt she couldn’t let this
continue.
“Mr. Shaffer, are you hungry?”

She remembered that Seth had only eaten a few ravioli earlier, which was practically the
same as not eating.
“Even if I’m hungry, I don’t want ravioli,” Seth answered coldly.
Isabe thought to herself, Why is he getting mad at the ravioli? They’re innocent. I’m
the guilty one.
“I’ll go get some food,” she whispered.
However, Seth replied sarcastically, “What good food can you buy?”
Isabe would have ignored Seth’s sarcasticment and let him starve to death if it
were any other time.
But now, she couldn’t do so as he had just saved her. Since she felt incredibly guilty, she
decided to let some things slide.

She tiptoed to the door. At first, she wanted to go out and buy the food herself. But
when she opened the door, she found two bodyguards standing outside.
She merely told them she was going to get Seth some food, but they immediately
offered to buy the food and asked her to go back inside.
If truth be told, Isabe also felt she couldn’t buy anything Seth would want to eat. After
all, her taste was limited to the small restaurants near the hospital.
After exining Seth’s dietary restrictions to the bodyguards, she returned to the ward.
Seth was lying with his eyes closed. His body was shrouded in darkness, and his messy
hair fell over his forehead, covering half of his face.
Although it was rare to see him so docile, Isabe realized that such an appearance
strangely suited him.
