Stephanie gently chided her grandson. "Just lie back and rest, Ethan. Isabella and Harold aren't strangers."
Ethan had no choice but to settle back against the pillows. He shifted his gaze to Harold, who was setting a premium wellness hamper on the nightstand. "Just a little something from Isabella and me," Harold said.
"Are you feeling any better?"
Harold studied Ethan for a moment. "You look a bit better than the last time we visited."
During their previous visit, Ethan had just barely survived his brush with death. He had been so weak that even speaking was a struggle.
"You can see for yourself how I'm doing," Ethan replied. "I'm still not cleared for solid foods or supplements, so you really didn't need to spend the money."
Besides, the Adams family wasn't exactly hurting for luxury goods.
"Save it for when you're allowed to eat," Harold insisted. "It wasn't a big deal. If it helps you recover faster, the cost doesn't matter. Your health is the priority."
He meant every word; he genuinely wanted to see his old friend get back on his feet.
Ethan held Harold's gaze for a second before his attention drifted back to Isabella.
Taking the cue, Isabella finally handed him the bouquet she had brought.
He accepted the flowers, leaning in to catch their scent. "They smell wonderful."
"Thank you for the flowers, Isabella. It was very thoughtful of both of you."
Harold pulled up a chair, settling Isabella down next to Stephanie before taking a protective stance right beside her.
"You seem to be in much better spirits today,"
Isabella said with a gentle smile. "With a little more time and rest, you'll make a full recovery. Don't stress about anything while you're in the hospital. Let your brothers handle the business side of things."
They also had Keith, Ethan's trusted right-hand man and a pivotal figure at the Adams Group. While Ethan was incapacitated, Keith had been working seamlessly with Lawrence to keep the company running smoothly.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
