His Real Wedded Bride novel Chapter 140

Isla never dreamed that she would see the man that she thought she would never see again. She panicked, fearing that he would run after her, all the way to her house. Having no way out, she called Autumn.

Autumn was about to take a bath when she heard her phone ring. She picked it up. "Isla, why are you calling me so late? Are you okay?" For a moment, no one answered. All she heard were the heavy gasps from Isla. Then she realized that Isla might be frightened. "What happened, Isla?" she asked, concerned.

Then she heard Isla's upset voice. "Ye, can I... come to your house tonight?" Isla asked.

"Sure. Where are you? I'll pick you up now." After getting Isla's location, Autumn immediately picked up her coat from the bed and prepared to go out. "It's so late. Where are you going?" Charles asked, stopping her.

"A friend of mine is in trouble. I need to use your car, Charles." Autumn quickly replied. In this case, Autumn found it really inconvenient not to have a car. Charles had to go with her because he was worried about her safety.

On the way to pick up Isla, Autumn briefly told Charles about her. Charles found her clearly worried and distracted.

In Autumn's mind, Isla was a cheerful person who seemed to be carefree all the time, so this unusual behavior made Autumn suspect that she was having a big problem.

Then she remembered the last time she saw Isla not being herself...

Before she knew it, they had arrived at the address given by Isla. "Is that her?" Charles asked. Hearing his question, Autumn looked out of the car and saw Isla huddled alone on the curb, looking upset and tired.

"Isla..." Autumn unbuckled her seatbelt and ran towards Isla. It was a bit windy but not cold. Isla was in a heap on the curb, looking pale.

"Isla, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Autumn helped Isla up and asked.

Upon hearing Autumn's words of concern, Isla burst into tears, but said nothing. Autumn took off her coat and put it on Isla to warm her.

"Let's get out of here first, " Charles told Autumn, opening the door of his car.

Autumn helped Isla into the car, and sat in the back with her. Isla was a sensitive person who had pride. She would never have called Autumn if she hadn't been desperate.

Back home, Charles said, "Stay with your friend tonight. I'll sleep in the study."

Actually, Autumn was about to suggest the same thing. "Thank you, " she replied, and gave Charles a grateful look. Then she helped Isla up the stairs.

Autumn found a pair of clean pajamas for Isla. When Isla lay on the bed after a bath, Autumn asked, "Isla, can you tell me what happened to you?"

"..." Since the light was off, Autumn could not see Isla's face. After a few minutes, Isla's voice came from the darkness. "He's back."
