Chapter 433 Taking Care of Injured Isabelle
He thought that the assassins must have listening devices and tracking chips on them, and other assassins would arrive soon.
He kept glancing at the rearview mirror, wanting to know Isabelle’s condition in the back seat.
Before dawn, George and his team arrived at the next town.
He wrapped Isabelle in his own coat, carried her out of the car, and strode towards the hospital.
Without stopping, he bent his head and touched Isabelle’s forehead with his lips, feeling a burning heat.
The bandage on Isabelle’s shoulder had been torn open, the wound was a bit torn and bleeding. After reapplying the medication, they put her back on an IV drip.
The doctor told George to get his hand and shoulder wounds treated.
But George didn’t want to leave her side, so he had the nurse bring the medication and treat his wounds right next to Isabelle’s bed.
His shoulder had just been grazed by a bullet, so it wasn’t too serious. He decided not to bother with it and sent the nurse away.
Seeing Isabelle’s pale face, George felt a huge wave of guilt for not protecting her better. The memory of last night’s stabbing still scared him.
He gently held one of Isabelle’s hands and kissed it. Luckily, she wasn’t hurt.
Holding her hand, George sat by the bed and closed his eyes to rest.
After who knows how long, Isabelle, still unconscious in bed, suddenly mumbled something, and George immediately opened his eyes.
“Storm Shadow…”
”
He heard her calling for Storm Shadow again.
George felt a pang of bitterness, but he was also happy to hear her voice. He responded to her softly, trying – to comfort her.
Night fell once more.
After being in unconsciousness for a long time, Isabelle finally opened her eyes.
They were in a simple but fairly clean motel room.
The curtains were tightly drawn.
Isabelle saw someone leaning on the edge of the bed.
Her hand was held in his.
The hand he was holding twitched a little, and George woke up right away.

Chapter 433 Taking Care of Injured Isabelle
“Isabelle?” He was both surprised and thrilled to see her awake.
45 Pearis
She was extremely weak, unable to speak, feeling dazed and groggy. The pain from her injuries shot through her, causing tears to well up in the corners of her eyes.
She wanted to ask where they were and if the Dark Shadow’s men were still after them.
George turned on the bedside lamp and asked, “Do you want some water?”
He hid his injured hand.
Isabelle couldn’t respond, so he went ahead and poured her some water.
He held up her head with one hand and tried to help her drink some water.
After one sip, she couldn’t drink any more.
George put down the water.
He told her, “It’s safe here for now. Just rest.”
Isabelle stayed awake for a bit, but she was still pretty out of it and soon fell back asleep.
In the middle of the night, she woke up again, feeling a bit more clear–headed.
The hotel owner was an Egnaric. George spent quite a bit of money to have the hotel owner bring a bowl of hot porridge and hurriedly reheated the water that had cooled down.
He returned to the bedside, carefully supporting her neck and propping up her pillow. Then he started feeding her the porridge, spoonful by spoonful.
