Chapter 56
Isabella screamed in her heart. She wanted to turn around and pull Seth’s
head off. God, how did his parents raise him? He’s as stubborn as a mule. She
had something to gain from him, however, so she couldn’t let things go silent,
or she’d have worked for nothing.
Just when she was about to say something, Nicolas’ voice came in. “Mr.
Shaffer, Selena brought something. Should I bring it inside?”
Isabella chortled silently and refused to speak anymore. Seth didn’t open his
eyes either, but he didn’t object.
Nicolas carefully opened the door and came in with a backpack. Isabella saw
him taking out a blanket, and he handed it to Seth. “Here, cover yourself, sir.
You’ll catch a cold here.”
Seth frowned in frustration, but he took the blanket and said, “Leave and find
a place to sleep. Don’t disturb me.”
“Yes, sir.”
Isabella pouted and glanced at the backpack. Aside from the blanket, there
were clothes and bathing supplies. Man, she’s working like she’s his wife. She
started another conversation. “Do you think Selena’s good enough, Mr.

“Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Gosling is awake, and he wishes to see you.”
Seth opened his eyes and wiped his face. He tossed the blanket away and
got up. When he came to the doorway, he turned around and looked at
Isabella.
Isabella wasn’t feeling sleepy anymore. She pushed herself up and saw Seth
staring at her.
“Come out,” Seth said curtly. He straightened his clothes out and went to the
operating theater.
Isabella smacked her cheeks. She gritted her teeth and changed into her
shoes, and then she hobbled after Seth.

Jonathan was in the ICU, and a group of people were standing outside. When
they saw Seth, they had weird looks in their eyes. It felt like they were wolves
trying to gang up on a lion. And then a little lamb hobbled behind that lion,
smiling like a little devil.
Felix went over and patted Seth’s shoulder. “Sorry for this. You must’ve had a
rough sleep. Dad wanted to see you as soon as he woke up after he heard
