Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 158

Even though the doctor told him not to worry about Izabella, he couldn't help but fret over her. He would occasionally feel her forehead to check her temperature, give her water, and wipe her body with a wet towel to help her cool down.

After an hour of fussing, her temperature finally normalized. Brett let out a sigh of relief and saw that it was already 2 a.m.

He climbed into bed, facing Izabella, and closed his eyes.

The following morning at 8 a.m., the doctor arrived for a check-up, finding Izabella's temperature had returned to normal. "Nothing major to worry about," he reassured. "She has some superficial injuries. If you find applying medication troublesome, she can remain in the hospital for a few more days."

The most severe injury was the cut on her wrist, which had severed a blood vessel but luckily spared the tendons. Nevertheless, a few stitches were required, resulting in a visible scar on her wrist that would endure for the remainder of her life.

Liam stopped by in the morning and on the way, bought a bouquet of flowers and a variety of fruit. Unsure of Izabella's preferences, he picked up expensive stuff, some nutritious snacks as well.

When Liam entered the room carrying an armful of gifts, Brett was eating breakfast by the window, looking much better compared to the previous day. However, he had dark circles under his eyes, likely from staying up late to take care of Izabella.

It wasn't the first time Liam saw Izabella hospitalized. In the past year, she seemed to have had particularly bad luck, ending up in the hospital several times, each time with life-threatening injuries.

Watching how Brett cared for Izabella, Liam noticed a change in his attitude, from initial indifference to restless concern.

Liam had always thought of Brett as a cold-hearted person; no matter what happened, his face remained indifferent. As for Izabella, it seemed that Brett treated her like a dog he had raised for years.
