Chapter 159
Seth burst out of the room, kicking the door open in anger.
With Seth’s intimidating presence gone, Isabella finally relaxed, leaning
weakly against the headboard.
As she calmed down, she noticed her palms were damp with cold sweat. She
had lost control of herself-she had poured a bowl of soup over Seth’s head.
She slapped her forehead and scolded herself in annoyance.
Seth never returned after that, and there was no explanation. He left Isabella
to dwell on her thoughts in the ward.
At 8.00PM, the doctor came to check on her, and she requested to be

discharged.
The doctor scolded her a bit and prescribed a bunch of medicines. “Young
lady, your health is your most valuable asset.”
Isabella listened, feeling a pang of bitterness. She valued her life too; it was
life’s pressures that had driven her to this point.
She packed her things and slowly made her way to the pharmacy to collect
her medications.
In the queue, two nearby nurses were whispering to each other.
“Mr. Larson from the third ward is so difficult to please. He’s been causing
trouble since he was admitted yesterday.”

“People like him are the worst. He looks down on the conditions of our
hospital. He might as well go to a private hospital.”
“His injury isn’t even serious, yet he insists on Dr. Witt performing the surgery.”
Isabella casually eavesdropped, grabbed her medication, and hurried away
while keeping an eye out for Christopher, the troublemaker.
She wore a mask as she stepped into the elevator, where only another
woman was present. The woman was well-dressed and moved to the side
when Isabella entered.
As the elevator doors closed, the woman began talking on the phone.

“All right. I’ve already bought it. It’s all your favorite food. I personally bought
them for you. Christopher, you’re being unreasonable!”
She went from being sweet as honey one moment to angry as a volcano the
next.
Isabella smirked as she observed quietly. Just moments ago, she overheard
nurses complaining about Christopher, and now she encountered his
girlfriend in the elevator. What a strange coincidence.
When the elevator doors opened, the woman, still fuming, continued to
berate Christopher, who was on the other end of the line.
Isabella quickly got out of the elevator, eager to distance herself from the
heated atmosphere.

Her phone rang again when she reached the first floor. It was a call from
Gordon.
She suddenly remembered that he had been stopped by Dariel yesterday,
and she wasn’t sure what had happened afterward.
She answered the call as she walked, and Gordon’s voice immediately came
through.
“Isabella, where are you? What happened? What did that jerk do to you?!”
Her lips twitched. “Everything’s fine. I just spent one night in the hospital.”
“What?” Gordon sounded incredulous.
