Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 325

She instinctively reached for a silver needle to attack, but the person was faster.

He grabbed her wrist and pinned it behind her back.

She crashed into his chest, the familiar scent telling her who it was.

Looking up, she confirmed her suspicion.

"Adrian, you're insane."

"Mm."

Adrian lowered his head, his forehead touching hers.

Isabel flinched from the heat.

With a temperature like this, he either wasn't delirious yet, or he was so delirious that it drove him to act crazy in front of her.

"Let go."

Adrian only held her tighter. "I feel awful."

Isabel was utterly speechless. "If you feel awful, go see a doctor."

She wasn't a healer.

"Don't you know how to make medicine?" Adrian rested his chin on her shoulder, the bridge of his nose brushing against the delicate skin of her neck as he took a sniff.

His body temperature was too high, making Isabel extremely uncomfortable, but she couldn't get away.

How could he be so strong when he was sick?

Was he reincarnated from an ox?

"If you let me go first, then I can give you some medicine," Isabel tried a softer approach, noticing his grip actually loosening a bit.

But he didn't let go completely.

He asked, "Really?"

Isabel said, "You're holding both of my hands. How am I supposed to get the medicine? Of course it's real."

Adrian let out a low chuckle. "Liar."

She was silent.

Before she could figure it out, Catherine's sarcastic voice broke her train of thought.

"Ever since you used your mother's heart to force a marriage, I knew you were a selfish person. You're willing to sacrifice anything to get what you want, but when you don't get it, you turn on people, becoming so cold that you'd even abandon your own son."

"Then again, that child was just a tool for you to secure your status as Mrs. Blackwell and tie my Adrian down. Of course you don't care about him."

In the past, the Blackwells had merely ignored her.

What had happened lately? One by one, they were all directing their anger at her.

And they were twisting the meaning of her actions.

Before the divorce, when she still cared about Adrian, she would have just swallowed her anger in a situation like this.

But now? Isabel retorted, "When I was in difficult labor, the doctors advised me to save myself first, but I didn't. I lost a part of myself to bring him into this world. He was frail, and I personally cared for him for the first two years. Back then, aside from the occasional visit where you'd play with him for a moment, you didn't contribute much. So you have no right to say that. I was a perfectly good mother."

The prerequisite for her giving up the child was that she herself had been given up.

Why was everyone acting like she was the one who was terribly wrong?

"We were going to take care of him. You were the one who insisted on doing everything yourself," Catherine said, her dislike for Isabel growing now that she was associated with Kate Caldwell. "Besides, you had to take good care of the child you were using to tie Adrian down, didn't you?"
