Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Discord Among Siblings

Soon, Noah returned with the medication. When he saw how they were chatting vivaciously with each other, he eyed them with suspicion. Nonetheless, he knew better than to take part in their conversation. After all, he had always been a gentle person in front of Stephanie.

“Isabella, I got you some medication. Other than the wounds on your hand, are you hurt anywhere else?” Noah asked as he put the medication on the table and prepared to help Isabella apply it.

“Only my elbow,” Isabella answered.

After dressing her wound, Noah instructed, “It’s done. When you shower the next few days, just be mindful not to get it wet.”

“Thanks, Noah,” Isabella replied obediently.

Just when Stephanie was about to say something, her phone rang at the inopportune moment. When she picked it up, she saw that it was her mom on the line.

“Mom,” Stephanie answered as she put a finger to her lips to shush everyone else.

“Isabella, where are you?” Olivia inquired softly.

“Mom, I’m with Noah and Isabella now. Noah and I were on our way to the office to invite Oscar and Isabella out to dinner. Unexpectedly, Oscar threw Isabella to the ground in public on Amelia’s account.” After giving it some thought, Stephanie felt it was necessary to relate the incident.

“What? Is it true?” Olivia’s tone turned grim. “How is Isabella doing? Let me talk to her.”

Stephanie handed the phone to Isabella. “Mom wants to speak to you.”

After receiving the phone, Isabella adjusted her composure. “Mrs. Clinton.”

Isabella, I heard that Oscar has hurt you. Don’t you worry, I’ll lecture him for you,” Olivia asked with concern, “Were you hurt when Oscar threw you over his shoulder in public?”

Despite feeling the sting from the question, Isabella didn’t show it on her face.

“Mrs. Clinton, I appreciate your concern, but I’m fine. Although my elbow was scraped, it will recover in a few days. Hence, there’s no need to worry,” Isabella reassured her sensibly.

“Good girl. I’ll make sure to admonish Oscar. Also, I’ll drop by to see you tomorrow. If the wound is serious, I’ll teach him a lesson on your behalf,” Olivia declared grimly.

“Please don’t, Mrs. Clinton. It was just a misunderstanding. Oscar has always disliked me. Now that Ms. Winters is back, his interest in me will further wane. If you scold him, I’m worried that he will just resent me more.” The more she spoke, the more aggrieved she felt. Even her eyes were already red. “Mrs. Clinton, my feelings for Oscar are true. So please don’t lecture him about it.”

Olivia grew anxious. “Isabella, are you crying?”

Isabella wiped her tears and replied, “Mrs. Clinton, I’m fine. Don’t worry.

“All right then, you take good care of yourself. Pass the phone back to Stephanie, as I have a few words to say to her.”

After Isabella handed the phone over, Stephanie repeatedly acknowledged whatever that was said to her over the phone.

After ending the call, Stephanie said, “Isabella, my mom wants you to have a good rest. Also, she will visit you tomorrow.”

“Stephanie, please tell her there’s no need to trouble herself. I’m fine after all,” Isabella added quickly.

“It’s all right, my mom is just worried about you.” Stephanie waved her hand. “Anyway, I’m heading home first. Noah, stay with Isabella, and send her home later.”
