Chapter 225 What’s Taking You So Long

After George stepped in. Isabelle quickly locked the door

Her action made George’s mood inevitably depressed. Isabelle and Yves appeared to have developed some understanding of one another

Take a seat on the couch, Isabelle suggested

Yves had not only brought Isabelle wine but also a medical box. Despite being basic, the instruments were the most advanced. Isabelle opened the box with a practised hand

Open your mouth.” She took out a small flashlight and approached him

“Aren’t you going to wear a mask? What if you are getting infected?George asked

It’s not that contagious.” 

George then raised his head slightly and opened his mouth for her to check

Isabelle put away the flashlight. Have you taken medicine?” 

She drank a bit too much wine, and her breath carried a scent of wine when she talked. Her slightly reddened lips from the drink gave her a more vibrant look

George shook his head

Not even any fever medicines?” 

None.” 

Isabelle gave him a sceptical glance but said nothing

She took out her stethoscope, sliding her hand beneath his suit jacket and over his shirt to place the diaphragm against his chest, starting from the apex of his left lung, moving from the front to the side, and then to the right lung

When George watched Isabelle who was wearing a stethoscope, bent over to examine with a serious expression, his hands on his knees slowly curled into fists

She asked him a series of brief questions about his symptoms, and he answered each one methodically

After the last question, George couldn’t help but remark, Do you always perform such thorough examinations? Even for something as minor as a cold or a fever?” 

He had assumed, given Isabelle’s medical prowess and her temperament, that she would merely glance at him as the alternative medicine practitioner would do

Then, she would give him a few acupuncture points. He hadn’t expected such detailed attention

Does drinking good wine and the person who accompanied her to drink makes her happier? So, it’s not too much trouble to be patient

Or could it be because it was me she was treating

Chapter 225 What’s Taking You So Long

He quickly dismissed the thought

I don’t usually diagnose people; I only do surgeries,Isabelle clarified, emphasising that she didn’t deal with minor illnesses

She hadn’t even considered using the medical kit Yves had given her

George’s eyes brightened, and his heartbeat quickened

His gaze was fixed on her face, lost in thought, unaware that his unusual heart rate had caught her attention. She moved the stethoscope’s diaphragm to his left chest

You have a very fast heartbeat,” she remarked

Snapped out of his daze. George came back to his senses

Ι 

When Isabelle met his gaze, she instantly knew his rapid heartbeat wasn’t due to physical discomfort

Removing the stethoscope, she sat down on the sofa and gently took his hand to feel his pulse

After a moment, she pulled out some acupuncture needles. Take off your coat.” 

Okay” 

Undo a couple of buttons and expose the back of your neck.” 

Sure.” 

Isabelle stood up and moved behind him, tugging his shirt collar down slightly to access his neck and shoulders. She began to carefully insert the needles

Suddenly, the door handle rattled, followed by a knock. Sweetheart?” 

Why did you lock the door just to check him? Are you trying to keep me out?Yves continued

It’s only been a few minutes

Did Isabelle know he wouldn’t be able to stay calm, which was exactly why she locked the door

Sweetheart, if he tries anything, just kill him. I’ll take care of the other guy outside.” Yves called through the door, Do you hear me?” 

Ignore him. He’s always like this, Isabelle said dismissively

Have you known him long?George asked curiously

Yeah. Isabelle nodded

I can’t imagine someone with her temperament tolerating Yves’s antics

She had always said she preferred quiet people, yet Yves was the opposite, constantly talking and frequently initiating physical contact
