Chapter 507
Philip took Isabella back home while Stanton went straight to the hospital.
Although Yvette and Isaac looked severely injured, they had only sustained superficial wounds.
By the time Stanton arrived, Yvette’s wounds had already been stitched up and bandaged.
The bullet in Isaac’s leg had also been removed and was being cleaned.
As soon as Isaac saw Stanton, he tensed up involuntarily.
Stanton ignored him and went straight to Yvette.
‘ Does it hurt, sweetheart?” Stanton asked in a gentle voice.
‘ No, it doesn’t,” Yvette replied while looking over worriedly at Isaac.
Stanton was unhappy as he felt like his own daughter always cared for that fool and didn’t take him, her own father, seriously.
“Look at all these bandages on you. How can you still say it doesn’t hurt?” Stanton rebuked.
Yvette replied, “The anaesthesia hasn’t worn off yet, so even with all these bandages, my wounds don’t hurt.”
Stanton was momentarily speechless.
He glared fiercely at his useless daughter, feeling that she was too quick to undermine him. She even talked back to him while her eyes seemed to be glued to that fool.
Irritated, Stanton stood up and walked directly to Isaac.
Isaac was usually a fierce fighter who feared none. But at that instant, he gulped nervously and was stuck like a statue.
Stanton said contemptuously, “You’d better take good care of your leg. If you end up being disabled, you can only dream of being with my daughter then. Do you hear me?”
After his monologue, he turned and left with gusto.
Isaac was dumbfounded.
His eyes met Yvette, and asked, “Yvette, what did Mr. Barker mean just now?”
Yvette replied calmly, “He just asked you to take good care of your injury and not to become disabled. Otherwise, he won’t allow me to be with you!”
Isaac anxiously said, “No, you explain it more clearly. I…I don’t quite understand.”
Yvette pursed her lips and chuckled. “If you want to be with me, recover from this and don’t make yourself a cripple.”
When she saw Isaac’s conflicted emotions of happiness and worry, Yvette smiled and said, “Even if you’re really disabled, I won’t despise you.”
When Isabella returned to the Barker family’s residence, she got chided again by Jeanne as a result of Philip telling on her leaving home.
She obediently sat on the sofa, drinking soup, promising not to take risks easily in the future.
“Since Henderson Lockwood is no longer a threat, let’s get going, Jean,” Philip looked at Jeanne with anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Jeanne shook her head. “Since Draxton is not here, I have to keep an eye on Bella so she will not go running around again.”
Philip paused for a moment.
He suddenly expressed pain in his foot as if he had kicked something hard.
Isabella was so tickled and amused. She turned to Jeanne and said, “Mom, don’t worry about me. I’ll return to Dawton City with the child now.
You and dad can go ahead and have fun without worrying about me.”
Philip’s eyes lit up and he gave Isabella a look of approval.
Isabella held back her laughter.
Jeanne looked serious and said, ‘No, even if we really go ahead, I have to take you back personally before I can relax.”
Isabella didn’t say anything further.
Philip didn’t object, either. To him, it didn’t matter where they went, as long as he could be with his wife. If they had to make an extra trip to
Dawton City, so be it. Philip Lockwood and Jeanne Lockwood accompanied her together.
When Isabella said she wanted to return to Dawton City, she really meant it. In just two days, she said goodbye to the Barker family and took a chartered flight back to Dawton City.
