Chapter 249


    Chapter 249 That’s Not His Child


    The unexpected incident involving Seth left everyone in shock, and he regained


    consciousness just as abruptly. The onlookers observed the CPR process without any


    inappropriate thoughts. Whispers began to circte as soon as the doctors lifted him


    onto the stretcher, especially when Gordon rushed into the crowd with a gloomy


    expression, picked up Isabe from the ground, and silently returned to their room.


    Still in shock from the intense scene, Isabe sat on the bed in a daze until he shouted,


    “Why did you have to be the one to give him CPR?!”


    Isabe frowned, surprised that this was his first question. “It was urgent.”


    “Don’t give me that. Corey knows what to do. Why didn’t he do it?” He was so angry that


    his chest heaved. He took a sip from his water cup, then threw it on the ground, cursing


    under his breath.


    Chapter 249 That’s Not His Child


    She instinctively felt that he was being unreasonable but paused when she heard his


    lást sentence. That’s right. The situation was so urgent that Corey shouldn’t have had


    any concerns and should have done it himself to save time.


    “He was drowning. It wasn’t an act.” She only thought of Seth’s condition and


    immediately dismissed the fleeting thought.


    Gordon was at a loss for words. He couldn’t argue with that. After all, no one would joke


    about their life. He paced back and forth, feeling very upset. He didn’t want to take his


    anger out on Isabe, as everyone saw that it was Caitlin who forcibly dragged her to


    the scene.


    If Isabe had hesitated and tried to refuse, she probably would have been verbally


    attacked.


    He sighed and nced at her. “You rest. I’ll take a break.” He had always treated Isabe


    with care. It was rare for him to be so cold and harsh; even more peculiar for him to


    Chapter 249 That’s Not His Child


    storm out of the room.


    Helpless, Isabe rubbed her temples and calmed down as several images shed


    through her mind. When she bent down to give Seth mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, he


    suddenly opened his eyes, which were wet and naturally defensive, albeitcking


    intimidation due to his near-drowning state.


    The cold sensation on her lips didn’t register at the time, but now, it felt real, as if she


    was still in that scene. How bothersome.


    She ran her fingers through her hair and reached for her phone without any energy.


    Before she could unlock it, a call came in. It was Nics.


    Isabe assumed he was rushing over to look after Seth and decided to answer the call


    after some thought. “Isabe, what’s the situation over there?”


    She exined the general situation. “He should be fine now.”


    хе

    He sighed, sounding anxious. “Isabe, why didn’t you stop Mr. Shaffer? His back injury

    is so severe. Even if he’s saved now, it could get infected.”


    She was frustrated. “I couldn’t stop him.”


    “Well, you could’ve tried harder. Aren’t we paid to cater to their whims?” Nics rarely


    spoke from a high position, then added, “I just got in touch with Selena here. She insists


    on keeping that old man’s child and is trying to pin it on Mr. Shaffer, who’s already


    unlucky enough.”


    Isabe was confused. “What old man?” As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped


    from the bed, fighting off dizziness. “The child isn’t Seth’s?”


    Nics eximed in surprise, “My goodness. How can the child possibly be Mr.


    Shaffer’s?”


    She was speechless.


    He continued, “That child is Mr. Lime’s from Sixteen Days. It was the night Mr. Shaffer


    went to see you and left Selena alone at the hotel.”


    Isabe was still stunned, her mind spinning as she vaguely remembered the timeline.


    The night she set a trap for Lara, Seth did appear suddenly, and Selena was nowhere to


    be seen.


    “Isabe?” Nics called out again.


    She sat on the bed, her emotions swirling. “I-I’m listening.”


    “I have to wait for Selena to be out of the operating room. It’ll be a while before I can get


    there. Can you keep an eye on Mr. Shaffer for me?”


    Isabe hesitated to speak but stopped herself. “I…”


    How could she keep an eye on him? Just a few days ago, she had pped Seth in the


    Chapter 249 That’s Not His Child


    face, and now, she couldn’t even have a conversation with him. However, Nics didn’t


    seem to care and said a few more words before abruptly ending the call.


    Feeling helpless, Isabe sat by the window and forcefully tapped her head several


    times, recalling Seth’s reaction on the phone. He had given her a hint, but she had made


    an assumption based on her own perspective and used him directly. He had


    protected her from the soup, and she had… repaid his kindness with ingratitude?


    She was already reluctant to owe anyone any favors, and now it had be more than


    just a simple favor. Her mind was in chaos, and she couldn’t sit still. As a result, she


    opened the door and headed towards Seth’s room.


    After asking the front desk for his room number, she followed the sounds and traced


    their source. The entire fourth floor had been booked, so there were only a few medical


    staffing and going. The corridor was empty.


    She tiptoed over, gradually approaching Seth’s room as faint voices could be heard


    Chapter 249 That’s Not His Child


    from the adjacent room.


    “You’re quite audacious. Aren’t you afraid something might happen?”


    “I’ve been diving abroad for four or five years. I’m pretty confident about this. Don’t


    you


    trust me, Dariel?”


    “Lwas terrified at that time. If something happened to Seth, wouldn’t I be implicated as


    well?”


    The two male voices were easily recognizable as Corey and Dariel.
