Welcome To My Life novel Chapter 11

“Did I hurt you?”

When Isobel opened her eyes, she still had not regained her presence of mind from the sudden change in the dream.

She looked at Eduard who was in front of her and gazed at the tea egg holding in his hand. She reacted only after a long time, “No, I just had a nightmare.”

After saying that, she pursed her lips and turned her head to glance at the kettle beside her. She wished to drink some water.

Noticing this, Eduard immediately understood and poured her a glass of water, “You had a nightmare?”

Isobel reached out her hand to take it, “Thank you. Yes, I had a nightmare.”

She lowered her head and when she thought of the dream she had just now, her lips curled into a smile with irony.

After drinking some water, her throat felt better.

Isobel looked up at the infusion bottle which was still half full, and looked at the clock, “I’ll be fine even if I’m alone, Eduard.”

Hearing her words, Eduard raised his eyebrow, “Are you chasing me away?”

Isobel smiled, “I’m sure you know that isn’t what I meant.”

Kit did say that many people were monitoring her during this time. If Eduard accompanied her in the hospital for one night, when she got up in the morning the next day, their names and pictures might appear on the entertainment headlines.

Eduard harrumphed, “What are you afraid of? Both of us are single now, even if our photos are really taken by others, there is nothing they can comment about it.”

Isobel shook her head, “Aren’t you in contact with Bernice recently?”

She had a good relationship with Isobel. So, when she sometimes heard about Eduard’s matter, she would pay attention to it.

“That is what my father wants but I don’t have that kind of idea.”

As he said, he paused for a moment, “Or is it that you still can’t get over the relationship with Hamish so you worry that he will misunderstand?”

When Isobel heard his words, she smiled, “I, Isobel, at least need to have self-esteem and pride.”

Upon hearing her words, Eduard nodded in satisfaction, “Good, it won’t be a problem then. Not to mention, everyone in City N is waiting to see your joke. Are you able to accept willingly what Martha had done to you?”

She was stunned for a moment, “Anything I can do even if I’m reluctant to accept it?”
