Seth and Isabe sat before tes of pasta topped with an egg. Seth eyed his te,
showing a hint of surprise.
It actually looks appetizing.
Isabe felt a hint of pride, thinking she could finally ovee her reputation as a
“kitchen disaster.”
He picked up his fork and speared a few strands of pasta, tasting them thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, Isabe did not start eating and covertly observed Seth instead.
The moment the pasta hit his taste buds, a subtle frown creased his forehead.
A wave of worry washed over her, and she tentatively asked, “What’s wrong?”

Visibly struggling to swallow the mouthful, he finally put down his fork. “Are you sure
this pasta is cooked?”

Isabe recalled the process of cooking the pasta, feeling a twinge of guilt. She pick
up a strand of pasta and broke it open.
The inside was unmistakably raw.
With an awkward chuckle, she reassured Seth. “Give me a moment.”
She then dashed to the kitchen.
He watched as Isabe returned with two small pot lids-one for her te and one for
his.
“Don’t worry.
It’ll cook through with a bit of braising.”

Seth could only stare, thinking, This is pasta, not instant noodles!
Nevertheless, he decided it was futile toment. Her culinary skills we

Meanwhile, Isabe sat calmly with a fork poised at her mouth, waiting for the pasta to
“cook.”
It’s just noodles. How different can it be?
As they waited, she tried to engage Seth in a conversation about work, hoping to glean
some insights.
However, he closed his eyes and feigned sleep, clearly uninterested.
Isabe continued for a while but eventually noticed hisck of response, falling silent
awkwardly.

medications.
Isabe emerged with the medicine box, flipping through its somewhat disorganized
contents.
With his back turned to her, he mentioned, “Jordan left instructions.”
Acknowledging with a sound, she found the instructions tucked inside.
She was puzzled. Why would Seth need instructions to change his bandages if he had
been visiting the hospital? Has he stopped going recently?

While Isabe was lost in thought, Seth started unbuttoning his shirt.
Standing aside, she felt an inexplicable nervousness. Her eyes involuntarily followe
his movements, button by button, until his shirt was undone.
He removed his shirt and revealed the injuries on his back.
The bandages were off and exposed tworge, faintly scabbed wounds with some
areas still bleeding.
Observing the wounds, Isabe sensed something amiss. The treatment appeared
uneven and rough, not the work of a professional.
“I’ll clean it first, then apply the medicine.”
Seth responded indifferently.

She prepared the items from the box. With care, she gently cleaned the wounds with
alcohol swabs before meticulously applying various medicines.
Throughout the process, he remained stoic and did not make a sound, his expression
unreadable.
After Isabe finished applying the medicine, he hastily put his shirt back on, not
waiting for the medication to dry.
She was taken aback by Seth’s rush before remembering something.
“What about when you shower?”
He looked at her, puzzled. “Can’t you shower?”
Upon realizing his intentions, Isabe gasped. “Are you showering directly on those
wounds?”
Chapter 270 Life Continues, Recklessness Persists
Seth remained silent.
She held the medical supplies, unsure of how to respond. She knew that exposing
wounds to water could lead to infection, yet he seemed unconcerned.
“Sea water can cause infection, but rinsing with clean water and drying quickly isn’t a
problem,” he casually replied to address her concerns.
Isabe still couldn’t ept it. “If you continue this, the wounds won’t heal properly for
months.”
Now she understood why certain parts of the wounds hadn’t scabbed over after four
days; Seth was being recklessly careless.
Annoyed, he retorted, “So, I shouldn’t shower?”
She suggested, “Can’t you just clean yourself with a wipe instead?”

His response was a disdainful look that left Isabe speechless.
She couldn’tprehend how someone could be so intolerant of minor
inconveniences.
“At least avoid showering your upper body tonight.”
Seth dismissed her. “That’s impossible.”
Isabe was at a loss.
Clearly, he wasn’t open to discussion.
She stopped arguing and began tidying up the area.
Noticing her irritation, Seth felt a smug sense of triumph, as if he had won a small
battle.

Isabe returned the medical supplies to his room. Meanwhile, the pasta seemed
unaffected by their earlier interruption, as if it had been patiently waiting under its lid.
