Looking at Christian whose eyes were filled with panic, Lexie was filled with jealousy. She glanced at Mallory who was silent, muttering, "Mrs. Miller!"
Why were they just a step early? As long as Isabella was dead, everything was from today.
That woman was so lucky.
Staring at her son for long, then at the doctors and nurses who were busy handling the situation, Mallory uttered after a while, "Let's go home."
She didn't expect to make her son go back now, but she couldn't embarrass her son in front of so many people.
Lexie's face darkened slightly. She unwillingly looked at Christian who was carrying Isabella inside, "Then, what about Christian …"
"I can't lose my face like this. Let him do whatever he wants here. Let's go back first."
Moreover, Diana was here as well. It would be obvious if she kick her when she was down, and Christian would definitely resent her even more.
With that, Mallory put on her sunglasses again and left.
Lexie frowned. With such a good chance wasted, she felt angry and annoyed. Why this old fool not followed her plan at all.
However, she had no choice. All she could do was to please Mallory first. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to marry Christian.
But Lexie just didn't know all her minds had been seen through by Mallory.
Biting her lips, she then left with Mallory.
It took a long time for the chaotic scene to settle down. The three men were taken away by the police. Christian ordered Canon to take Diana and Naomi to the police and make a statement. He stayed in hospital to take care of unconscious Isabella.
When Isabella woke up from her coma, it was already night. She looked frightened as if she just had a nightmare.
"Woke up?" Christian immediately raised his head, feeling relieved.
Looking at him blankly for more than ten seconds, Isabella finally went back to her senses. She asked with a frown: "Christian?"
Was she in a dream?
She subconsciously reached out to touch his face. Feeling the warmth, she immediately withdrew her hand, but was held tightly by him halfway.
"It's me. It's okay now." He wiped away the sweat on her forehead. There was a soft light in his eyes.
Isabella's heart tightened. She suddenly looked around the ward and asked anxiously, "Where's my mom? And Naomi? How are they now?"
Christian brought her a cup of water with a smile, "Don't worry. They're taking a statement at the station right now. Here, have some water. "
Isabella relieved, then turned her attention back to him. Her face flushed. She took the cup and had a small sip, then unnaturally asked: "How did you get here so coincidentally at that time?"
