Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 327

“I’m sorry, Mr. Blackwell, but you can’t go in.”

One of Kate’s men blocked Adrian’s path.

His calm expression was tinged with urgency. “Go tell Isabel the child is in trouble.”

The man at the door didn’t budge, holding his ground.

Just as Adrian was about to signal his own men to act, Julian opened the door.

“Can’t sleep because you’re worried about Selena, Mr. Blackwell? Perfect timing. I just got a message from Ms. Caldwell. I can set up a video call for you.”

Adrian cut to the chase. “Get Isabel out here. There’s a situation with the boy, and I need her to take a look.”

Julian replied, “She has no obligation to do that.”

If it weren’t for the heavy snow, he would have transferred to another hospital. His wound wasn’t life-threatening, but he couldn't risk the hassle. Any hospital in Westbridge was bound to have Adrian’s influence, and he wasn’t cleared for international travel yet.

The earliest he could leave was tomorrow afternoon.

And before he left the country, he wanted to finalize Isabel and Adrian’s divorce.

A cooling-off period? He certainly wasn’t going to wait thirty days.

He went ahead and initiated a video call.

After a brief flash of Kate Caldwell, Selena’s face appeared on the screen.

The room she was in was dark. She was huddled in the corner of a metal-frame bed, trembling and clutching herself. As the camera zoomed in, bruises were visible on her body.

Adrian’s eyes darkened. “If she’s harmed, you can forget about marrying Isabel.”

Julian laughed. “Well, that depends on what you do, Mr. Blackwell. My patience is also limited.”

Adrian’s gaze swept over the phone. After a few seconds, he raised his hand, and his men moved to attack.

“Stop.”

Isabel came out of the room. The noise was making it impossible for her to sleep.

Besides, she couldn’t let Julian get hurt any worse because of her.

“Didn’t you release X-1 to treat anyone who needs it?”

Isabel didn’t refuse to treat him. “Are you sure it requires X-1?”

She didn’t have much on hand. Everything she had produced went into trials. She was supposed to discuss the next steps with old Mr. Foster after the press conference, but she hadn’t gotten the chance because of Adrian.

“I don’t have any here. If it’s certain that he needs X-1, I’ll have to prepare it in the lab tomorrow.”

Adrian’s eyes darkened, hiding an unreadable emotion. “Aren’t you going to even look at him?”

Isabel hated dragging things out. This endless entanglement with Adrian over the divorce was frustrating enough.

“Adrian, if you genuinely care about that child, then come with me tomorrow to sign the divorce papers. For that, and for Selena, I will see him through his treatment until he’s better.”

The man was silent. A few seconds later, he made his move.

“Adrian!” Isabel was furious. “You’re disgusting.”

Adrian ignored her. Seeing that he was about to attack the injured Julian, she immediately rushed forward to shield him.
