As Seth’s face drew closer, his lips almost touching her cheek, Isabella’s mind was filled 

with turmoil. She valued the hard-won peace between them, yet going against him felt 

like she would be the one breaking it. However, doing nothing might mean allowing 

herself to be compromised. 

D*mn it! 

She inhaled sharply, lifting her foot. 

Suddenly, he released his grip and stepped back, creating distance. 

Isabella was puzzled.

“What?” She was taken aback. 

“Help me wipe my back,” he clarified. 

Isabella blinked as understanding dawned on her, feeling a wave of relief. 

“Wait for me.” 

With that, she hurried past Seth. 

He remained still and massaged his temples, his thoughts a whirlwind of conflict.

His sudden move here was primarily to escape domestic troubles, but now it seemed 

the real challenge was right in front of him.

He sank into the couch, his expression grave. The more he pondered, the more agitated 

he felt.

Isabella’s boldness was growing, and her actions became increasingly audacious. Seth 

needed to be vigilant, or she might overstep boundaries. 

Lost in thought, he noticed her returning with a basin of water. 

She added a few unfamiliar substances to it, but he trusted she would not dare harm 

him and did not question her actions. 

Wringing out a towel, she approached from behind the couch. “Mr. Shaffer, please 

move forward a bit. Let me help you wipe.” 

Seth impatiently shifted forward.

sensation that unsettled him. 

“Are you done?” 

She set the towel aside. “Hang on. I need to apply some medicine to the wound.” 

Seth pursed his lips. 

He watched Isabella busy herself and sensed something unusual in the air, but he 

could not quite pinpoint it.

Nevertheless, her actions seemed completely natural, as if everything was as it should 

After carefully wiping his back and applying the medicine, she went to refill the water 

basin.

“Mr. Shaffer, I apologize for my earlier actions.” 

Seth responded with a light snort.

Catching a glimpse of his face, Isabella sensed that his anger had subsided and let out 

a quiet sigh of relief. 

Gathering her book, she wished him a goodnight and retreated to her room. 

He stood in place, pondering that her demeanor was no different from that of a hospital 

nurse. 

The key difference was that nurses often blushed at Seth’s appearance, while she 

seemed entirely indifferent as she treated him. 

To him, Isabella was simply oblivious.

In her room, Isabella closed the door and set her book down. She leaned back against 

the door with her hands clutching her chest. 

D*mn! Seth’s face and body are impeccable. 

She almost let herself get distracted when she wiped Seth’s back. It was only her 

professionalism that kept her composed. If not for that, she might have let her 

emotions show. 

With resolve, she realized she needed to move out soon. 

His self-control seemed unpredictable, as evidenced by their recent interaction. He was 

a man who might blur the lines at any moment. 

Moreover, living daily with someone as attractive as he was also a challenge to

Isabella’s boundaries. 

She ruffled her hair and flopped onto her bed, feeling annoyed. 

Her phone buzzed twice. At first, she didn’t bother to check as she was tired. 

Eventually, she picked it up and saw a message from Alex. 

‘Isabella, Winona has resigned. I think she’s quite capable. Do you think there is a 

suitable position for her in the company?’ 

‘It’s not that she told me voluntarily. I just think that the company is short of talent.’ 

Sitting up, Isabella focused on her phone and pondered over Winona. 

She remembered that Winona had given her warnings and assistance in the past. The 

girl seemed like a reliable person.

However, Isabella had a nagging feeling that something was not right. 

Nevertheless, Alex’s request seemed genuine, and Isabella understood the importance 

of talent within the company. She couldn’t let a mere intuition override a potential 

opportunity. 

In response, she agreed to meet with Winona. 

As the night progressed, it grew late.
