Isabella decided to stop talking.
The car’s speed gradually increased.

Along the way, Isabella quietly sent a text to Sander, trying to casually ask if everything was okay at the school and whether Jason was doing all right.
But Sander didn’t reply.
Isabella grew even more uneasy. She suddenly turned to Xavier and said, “I don’t want to go back. Wherever you’re going, take me with you.”
“Not convenient,” Xavier replied without hesitation.
“Just treat me like you used to–like I’m tagging along.”
Isabella was anxious inside, but she kept her tone calm.
“Besides, I’ve handled almost all your personal and business matters before. Have I ever made things inconvenient for you?”
Xavier glanced at her out of the corner of his eye. “If this is about Sander-”
“I told you it has nothing to do with Sander. I just want to stay with you.”
Isabella cut Xavier off. The words that slipped out even surprised her with their slightly suggestive tone.
Suddenly, the car jerked to a sharp stop.
At the intersection, Xavier seemed distracted and almost ran a red light.
Isabella’s heart tightened. Afraid Xavier would reject her again, she quickly added, “Didn’t you say you wanted a fresh start? Is this your idea of sincerity–ditching me before we even finished talking?”
Xavier looked at Isabella but didn’t speak. The next second, he made a U–turn.
Isabella worried he might change his mind at any moment and decided not to say anything
more.
Soon, they arrived at the therapy center.

After getting out of the car, Xavier grabbed Isabella’s hand. Caught off guard, she felt his palm was cold, but his strong fingers interlaced with hers, burning with an almost fiery heat.
“If you’re coming, then keep up.”
Xavier’s voice sounded by her ear, domineering like an order.
“I’ll keep up, but you don’t have to—‘
”
Isabella tried to pull her hand away, but Xavier didn’t give her the chance. He looped their wrists together and held them firmly at his side.
Once he was done, he pulled her into the school.
With control issues this extreme, shouldn’t he get some help?
But Isabella only dared to complain in her head, quickly matching his pace.
“Mr. Moore, the child is inside. I’ve already asked the school to contact the parents.”
Outside a closed classroom, Jacob stood waiting with Xavier’s men.
Seeing Xavier arrive, Jacob immediately stepped forward to report.
Noticing Isabella beside him, he hesitated slightly as he spoke.
But since Xavier had brought Isabella along, he probably didn’t mean to keep her in the dark.
“What… child?”
Hearing Jacob’s words, Isabella broke into a cold sweat and quickly looked at Xavier.
The man’s expression remained unchanged.
If he had already found out Jason was her child… had everything he just said to her been an
act?
“This child might be able to save Noah’s life.”
Xavier answered Isabella calmly.
Isabella trembled. What did that mean?
Her child could save Noah?

Just as Isabella was both stunned and nervous, Xavier signaled to Jacob. Jacob hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Moore, the child inside is the offspring of the miracle doctor ‘Aletta“.”
“Aletta?!”
Isabella tried to step forward, but her arm was yanked back by the man.
Her heart raced wildly, and the shock on her face was almost impossible to hide.
Aletta… Wasn’t that her professional alias?
She always had patients sign NDAs for her consultations and wore makeup and a mask the whole time.
Aside from a few members of the Carter family, even her patients didn’t know her real identity.
How did Xavier find out who she was?
In an instant, Isabella recalled how Hannah had mentioned someone offering a huge reward to find her recently, and how Jacob had hinted that Xavier had hired hackers to track someone down.
“Oh, Aletta is a mysterious anonymous physician. Rumor has it she has confidential prescriptions for blood disorders. Mr. Moore has been searching for her for a long time, for Mr. Noah Moore.”
Thinking Isabella’s stunned look meant she still didn’t understand, Jacob quickly added more details.
