All the signs pointed to the fact that the relationship between Osvaldo and the young girl was very deep.
This fact made Christ partly unhappy.
If it wasn't for the fact that Osvaldo himself had said that he and Selena were already married, and that girl hadn't shown any signs of knowing Osvaldo at that time, he almost had to wonder if there was some kind of ambiguous relationship between him and that little girl.
But Christ knew his opponent.
Osvaldo would never have two women. The tone of his voice when he mentioned Selena clearly told him that he was very fond of that woman.
He would never have married if he hadn't really liked that woman.
After all, the trick of his grandfather to force him with his life would work once, definitely not a second time.
Then there could only be one explanation.
That little girl's identity might be special, and Osvaldo's protection was to prevent him from approaching her.
Christ's handsome face became even more gloomy as he thought of this.
He walked into the ward carrying a cold air.
Isabel was originally lying on her pillow, when she heard footsteps, she looked up, her tears immediately fell down, crawling over with difficulty to explain to him, "Brother, believe me, she hit me first, my bodyguard can testify. I was furiously angry, that's why..."
Christ looked at Isabel's miserable look.
Her face was badly injured, with hardly a piece of her face intact except for her eyes, and her weeping appearance, without any trace of her former innocence and pity, looked ugly instead.
Isabel, however, was clearly not so self-conscious.
She grabbed Christ's sleeve and pleaded with her, "Brother, believe me, I really did not..."
Christ looked at her and said frankly, "I don't care if you're good or not."
Isabel's sobs stalled abruptly.
However, Christ's next words made her tense up in a flash, "But don't lie to me, understand?"
Isabel looked into Christ's eyes and thought he had sensed something, and she burst into cold sweat out of fear.
Christ seemed to have intended to warn her and was not as gentle and comforting as usual. He reached out his hand and subconsciously went to wipe the red chalcedony, but there was nothing.
Christ's eyes sank abruptly, "Where's the carnelian?"
Isabel was shivering with fear, her heart replete with horror and resentment.
The look in Christ's eyes clearly told her that he was being so indulgent and defensive towards her solely because he thought of her as the true owner of that carnelian.
Without that carnelian, she alone could not have stirred him up in the slightest.
Isabel was angry, frightened and upset with a hint of resentment in her heart.
After ten years of affection, was she no better than a dead object in Christ's eyes?
But she didn't dare to really take her grievances out.
If Christ knew that she was not the owner of the necklace at all and had lied to him for so many years... Isabel shivered violently, not daring to even think about what would happen to her.
When Isabel met Christ's gloomy eyes, her body chilled, and she said with resignation and fear, "I was afraid of losing the carnelian, so I left it at home."
The truth was that she was afraid that Selena would see the red chalcedony and ask her for it, and if people heard about it and it reached Christ's ears, she would be finished.
Christ calmed down, "Have someone send that carnelian over immediately, and don't take it off at will in the future!"
