Chapter 192
A woman lay on the bed, plastered from head to toe–literally. Her face was so swollen, Thalassa couldn’t even recognize Isabella. Her mouth puffed up like she’d been stung by a bee, her eyes were swollen like light bulbs; her whole face looked like an over–inflated
balloon
By just looking, she couldn’t really tell whether she was a guy or a gal.
Only the long hair scattered over her shoulders gave a hint that she might be a dame.
Beside her bed huddled a group of old folks, distant relatives who’d heard that she’d been hospitalized and came to pay her a visit.
In their village, it’s a tradition that when someone got sick and ended up in the hospital, a group of friends and family would be organized to come and check on them.
Evelyn was one of those invited, so she came with Thalassa and the kids to visit Isabella.
Thalassa walked into the room, gazing curiously at the person on the bed.
If Evelyn hadn’t mentioned that they were visiting Isabella, Thalassa wouldn’t have had the slightest clue that the woman lying there was her!
She remembered slapping Isabella a few times just two days ago. How on earth did that turn her into this plastered, swollen mess?
How could her slaps have possibly resulted in this severe aftermath?
“Isabella, we’re here to see you. Oh dear, you poor thing, bone injuries take a long time to heal. You need to rest up; only after you recover can you get married to your boyfriend,” Evelyn approached, her words filled with concern.
The relatives quickly chimed in, “Yeah, your boyfriend is so rich and loves you so much. If you become ugly or lose a hand or a foot, he could be snatched by someone else. So, you’ve got to take good care of yourself.”
Hearing these “concerned” words, Isabella was so mad she was grinding her teeth!
