After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1208
Isabella excused herself. "Barbara, Harold, we've been out all day, and my mom is probably worried. I should head back."
"Hold on," Harold said, scarfing down his food. "Let me finish this, and I'll drive you."
Barbara chimed in from the sofa. "Let my brother take you, Isabella. Even with your bodyguards, we'll all feel better knowing he's with you. Especially after what just happened."
If the kidnappers were telling the truth, Isabella had crossed someone highly dangerous. If they dared to touch Barbara, they wouldn't hesitate to go after Isabella. A handful of bodyguards wouldn't be enough against a coordinated attack.
"I'll be careful," Isabella assured them. "Harold, you don't need to drive me. Stay here with Barbara. My security team is waiting downstairs, and my place is only a fifteen-minute drive away. I'll be perfectly fine."
"No way. I'm driving you," Harold insisted stubbornly.
Isabella didn't argue further. She waited until he finished eating, and they left the hospital together.
Moments after they walked out, Linda White strolled into the VIP suite, carrying a massive bouquet of flowers and a luxury wellness gift basket.
Barbara was still on the sofa, having just tossed her half-eaten meal into the trash. She looked up and smiled. "What are you doing here?"
She sighed, taking a seat. "You're lucky they found you so quickly. Most people don't bounce back that fast."
Kidnappings in Cabinda were rare nowadays. With modern security and surveillance on every corner, it was almost impossible to get away with it. The last major scare had been six months ago when Ethan had narrowly avoided an abduction. That incident alone had sent the city's elite into a panic, prompting billionaires to hire private security and upgrade to bulletproof vehicles.
"The police are handling the interrogations," Barbara said. "We're just waiting for the results."
"Douglas told me they arrested four guys. Was it really just the four of them?"

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...
