Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 889

Chapter 889 A Broken Rib

Stephanie stayed in the ward for an hour before leaving. Upon exiting the ward, she tossed a glance at Noah, who did not enter the ward at all.

“Noah, you should go in and accompany Isabella. She’s in quite a pitiful state. She’s crippled—both her arms and legs. Oscar has been merciless this time. As her family, we can’t just leave her on her own.”

A tinge of shock glinted across Noah’s eyes as he stared at Stephanie in mild disbelief. “Go on inside. I’ll head back to the Clinton residence first. If anything happens, I’ll let you know when I come back.” Taking no interest in the shift in his expression, Stephanie bolted away.

It was only until he could no longer see her silhouette did Noah stopped staring at her. Entering the ward, Noah looked down at Isabella’s disheveled appearance. Not a trace of sympathy could be detected on his face. At the sight of him, Isabella raised the corner of her lips into a smirk.

“You must be here to mock me, Noah. But you and I are not that different. If I’m going to have a hard time, you’re going to have a hard time either. I have quite a lot of information against Clinton Corporations in my hands right now. If you show me a bit of sympathy, maybe I can share some of them with you to counter Clinton Corporations. That way, our company will have time to rise back to its feet.”

A glint flashed across Noah’s eyes.

“Noah, I believe that you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place right now. What do you say? As long as you promise me one thing, I will give you all the information I have. I’m sure you wouldn’t want to be in a fight against Oscar either,” she added.

Isabella knew Noah like the back of her hand. She knew that he had sacrificed a lot for Walker Group and that he would never pass on such a golden opportunity.

“What do you want?” As expected, Noah took the bait.

Looking at him icily, Isabella said, “I need you to send me overseas so that I can receive treatment from the best medical experts.”

Noah stared at her, deep in his thoughts.

“Are you saying you can’t fulfill this simple request, Noah? If that’s the case, I can guarantee you that you will never win against Oscar in your entire life,” Isabella added mockingly on purpose.

Upon hearing that, Noah could not help but sneer.

“Don’t push my buttons, Bella. I’m gonna be honest with you. With my abilities now, it’s impossible for me to send you overseas. But if you give me the information that you have, maybe I can keep Oscar busy for a while. With him out of the way, you can use that time to rest up and recuperate. Otherwise, you can only rot along with the information you choose to keep a secret,” Noah said shamelessly with his arms crossed in front of his chest.

Isabella’s expression shifted.

“You sure are heartless, Noah. Even at this time, you’re still willing to throw your own sister under the bus.”

After a pause, she continued, “But since you’re unable to fulfill my request, then we shall see each other in hell. With you down there with me, at least I won’t suffer any loss.” After all, not like things can get any worse. Fear loses its power when one’s luck is constantly terrible. Death will only be a relief.

However, being in a lawful society, Oscar would not take her life. The worst thing that could happen to her was that she would have to struggle in every living moment of her life.

Sometimes, dying is better than living a low-quality life.

Noah’s expression changed slightly. “Let me think about it.”

The corners of Isabella’s lips turned upward as she felt her spirits lifted.

“I’m glad that you’re willing to consider it, Noah. After all, we’re siblings. We share the same flesh and blood. If misfortunes befall me, your luck may not be any better. If we join forces, we may be able to turn the ship around,” Isabelle said.

Noah lowered his head to think. After a moment, an idea popped into his head.

“I can help you. But if you want me to help you, you’ll have to reveal some of the information you have regarding Clinton Corporations. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know if you were being genuine,” argued Noah.

Isabella lowered her gaze as she fell silent.

“Bella, we’re on the same boat here. If I’m ruined, the Walker family will not have enough money to get you a decent ward and the best treatment. Only if you’re willing to help me I can fight back. As much as I despise you, as your brother, I won’t leave you to rot. You better think long and hard about my offer,” Noah said nonchalantly.

After a brief pause, he continued, “Bella, don’t even think about asking others for help. Perhaps others might be nice to you for their own benefit, but the moment you’re of no use to them, they might not remain loyal any longer. By then, you can only be left to beg on the streets. But I’m different. Even with all the resentments I feel toward you, Mom and Dad will still care for their daughter. As long as the Walkers still hold some power over this city, you’ll still have food on your table.”
