Returning with Triple Treasures: My CEO Husband Is Obsessed novel Chapter 96

She caught a blurred glimpse of the sheets on Noah’s side, completely soaked through with blood.. Isabella followed the gurney all the way to the operating room and waited outside, her mind racing.

Rachel hurried off with the young nurse to take care of the paperwork and notifications.

“Isabella, what on earth happened?”

Xavier’s low, steady voice came from behind her.

She turned and saw him standing there with Linda, along with the young caregiver from Noah’s room.

The caregiver’s face was streaked with tears, and Linda wore a strange, uneasy expression–brows pinched, lower lip caught between her teeth, eyes skittering away whenever they met Isabella’s.

‘What do you mean, ‘what happened‘?” Isabella replied, her voice tighter than she intended.

‘What did you do to Noah.”

t wasn’t a question. Xavier’s tone was cool, detached, as though stating a fact.

‘What happened to Noah?” Isabella’s chest clenched. She held the man’s calm gaze, but all she could see in her mind was Noah’s >eaceful, sleeping face when she had left him.

‘Noah… he slit his wrist in his room, just after you left.”

t was Linda who answered, her voice soft and hesitant, as if afraid of saying too much.

The young caregiver kept her head down.

‘That’s impossible,” Isabella said, frozen. “He was asleep when I walked out…”

The medication had sedative effects. When she left, Noah should have been under. How could he have done that in such a short

time?

Besides, if he had wanted to end things that way, he could have done it long ago. Why play along with Xavier scharade all these years…

In a flash, it clicked.

Her eyes turned sharp, shifting to Linda and the caregiver hiding half behind Xavier

“But you were the only one in there before it happened”

Before Isabella could speak, Xavier’s cool words sent a chill straight through her

Linda added quietly, “You asked to be alone with him, Isabella, so we stepped out. But when we came bak went on. “Noah’s meds make him drowsy It doesn’t seem likely he’d have done that to himself

In other words, she was pointing the finger at Isabella.

Isabella shot Linda an icy look, and the woman fell silent.

“When I came back, you two were just returning yourselves, weren’t you? If something happened to Noah, why didn’t you stop me right then?”

“Well-” The caregiver started; but as soon as she glanced up and met Linda’s look, she dropped her head again.

“Isabella, his hand was under the blanket. It took us a minute to realize,” Linda answered for her.

“If no one else went in after me, then the two of you are involved in what happened to Noah.”

Isabella kept her eyes locked on the caregiver, who squirmed under the attention.

“Let’s just call the police and let them sort it out.”

Seeing how Linda and the caregiver were sticking together, Isabella pulled out her phone.

But Xavier’s hand closed around her wrist before she could dial.

“You didn’t do anything.”
