Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 339

“Don’t talk about that now,” Mrs. Blackwell interjected, unable to stand seeing Adrian being put down by Isabel. She demanded, “Oliver is your son. Are you going to save him or not?”

Isabel replied coolly, “I’ve already given my answer.”

Mrs. Blackwell turned to Adrian. “Divorce her. Divorce her right now. So what if she can make some medicine? What’s the big deal?”

She was actually well aware of Isabel’s accomplishments. Even if she didn’t pay attention, the society wives made sure the news reached her ears. And the fact that Isabel was trying to divorce Adrian before this drug was even announced was public knowledge. Because of that, she knew she had been mocked and gossiped about behind her back by those women.

That’s why no matter how brilliant Isabel was, she could never bring herself to like her.

Right now, Oliver was the most important thing.

But to her surprise, Adrian simply turned and walked away.

She hurried after him. “What’s the meaning of this? Are you going to let your son die for her?”

Adrian didn’t answer, merely instructing his men to escort Mrs. Blackwell back to the family estate.

Mrs. Blackwell protested, but she was no match for his guards.

“Adrian!”

Adrian returned to Oliver’s room. The boy was unconscious, his face deathly pale, and the data on the adjacent monitor was all abnormal.

Dr. Lawson hadn’t left yet. He asked, “When can Ms. Hayes prepare the X-1?”

Adrian shot him a cold glance. “Ms. Hayes?”

Dr. Lawson instinctively flinched, confused.

Then he heard Adrian say, “We’re not divorced yet.”

Realizing anything he said would be wrong, Dr. Lawson changed the subject. “Time is running out. I’ve done my best, but he’s just a child. He doesn’t have an adult’s immune system. We can’t really wait twenty-four hours.”

Adrian waved a hand, and Dr. Lawson left the room. He had said and done all he could. The rest was up to the family of three.

“Yes,” Isabel said after she finished feeding Julian. “You need to rest. Don’t do anything. Wait for me to come back.”

Julian didn’t argue. “The one our mother arranged.”

Isabel nodded, not denying the term ‘our mother’.

“I’ll go with you,” Evelyn said.

Edmund immediately raised his hand. “Mommy, I’ll go with you too.”

“You stay here.” Isabel patted his head gently, her expression neutral. “Mommy is going with bodyguards. You protect your daddy and Miles.”

“Oh, and give me another one of those pills you developed. For me and Evelyn to use for self-defense.”

Edmund gave her one, then asked again, “Are you sure I can’t go?”

Isabel said, “I’ll be back soon. The snow is melting outside, and it’s very cold. Don’t make a fuss. I’m not going to run experiments, just to make a dose of X-1 and come right back.”
