Chapter 4 288 Vouchers Nathan walked upstairs and knocked softly on the door.
However, there was no cheerful response from Isabella as there used to be. His face darkened as he pushed the door open and approached the bedside, towering over the unmoving figure lying there.
âIsabella, why are you causing such trouble today? Do you know your Sis was feeling guilty because you ran away from home?
In the future, try to be more sensible and donât upset your Sis...â
Isabella lay on the bed, her face as desolate as a desert, devoid of any vitality. Nathanâs monologue felt increasingly pointless.
âWhy arenât you saying anything?â
The Isabella who usually flattered and fawned over him was acting mute today. Even someone as slow to notice emotions as Nathan could sense something was off.
He pulled back the blanket, and the stark red stains on the white bedsheet immediately caught his eye. They contrasted sharply with Isabellaâs pale, bloodless skin.
âIsabella, why didnât you tell us you were sick?â

He sincerely apologized.
At the hospital, the doctor conducted a full examination of Isabella. Despite Nathanâs powerful status, the doctor couldnât help but criticize him as the patientâs family.
âMr. Hill, Mrs. Hill just had a kidney transplant, and now her wound is infected again. No matter how strong her body is, it canât withstand this kind of strain!â
Nathanâs face remained tense. âI understand.â
After receiving an IV drip, Isabellaâs fever gradually subsided. Her vacant eyes began to regain focus. However, when she saw Nathan beside her, she reacted as if she had seen a beast. Her body shrank back instinctively.
âWhy are you here?â
Her gaze was full of wariness, as though he were a dangerous predator.

âIâm your husband. If Iâm not here with you when youâre sick, where do you think I should be?â
Isabella discreetly reached for the syringe on the bedside table, her defensive instincts clear.
Noticing her fidgety hand, Nathanâs handsome face darkened. âYou really donât recognize me?â
Isabella nodded earnestly.
Nathan sighed, pulling her innocent, pure face closer. âThen look at me carefully. Remember your husbandâs face because weâll be living under the same roof every day from now on. I donâ t want you to act like you have amnesia every time you see me.â
Isabella hesitantly asked, âYouâre saying weâre married? Do you have proof?â
Nathan felt speechless. He pulled out his phone and showed her a photo of their marriage certificate. âTake a good look. Weâ re legally married.â
Isabella shifted further away, clearly rejecting him.

Nathan sighed heavily, suddenly feeling a headache coming on. âWhat do you need me to do to prove it?â
âIf weâre married, there should be plenty of evidence. Like... children? A wedding ring? Or maybe intimate photos of us?â
For a moment, Nathan was at a loss. He realized, painfully, that he hadnât given her any of these things.
âIsabella, Iâm sorry. Iâll make sure to give you all of these in the future.â
Isabella burst out angrily, âI knew it! Youâre not my husband. My husband wouldnât neglect me like this...â
At that moment, Victoria and Mooreâs father arrived. Victoria was in a wheelchair, pushed by their father.
As soon as they entered, Mooreâs father began scolding Isabella. âIsabella, how can you be so thoughtless? Running away from the hospital when youâre ill? Do you know how worried Nathan was searching for you? It serves you right that your wound got infected! Youâre so irresponsible!â
12 07 Chapter 4 Isabella looked at Mooreâs father blankly. Perhaps his 288 Vouchers reprimands irritated her, but Isabella retorted sharply, âWho do you think you are to lecture me? Even my biological parents never scolded me. Who are you to discipline me?â
Mooreâs father froze.
Her words hit him hard. Even though he was her biological father, he had never raised her. Did he really have the right to discipline her?
âNathan, whatâs going on with her?â
âSheâs lost her memory,â Nathan replied flatly.
Mooreâs father was stunned. âAmnesia? So she doesnât even recognize me as her father anymore?â
He seemed a little dejected.
Nathan glanced at him and said, âShe had a hypnotist deliberately erase you from her memory.â
Victoria rolled her wheelchair closer to the bed and spoke earnestly, âSis, I know you must feel resentful about giving me your kidney.â

Seeing her reaction, Nathan realized the kidney donation had left a deep scar in Isabellaâs heart.
âVictoria, donât bring this up in front of her again,â Nathan cautioned.
Trying to shift the subject, Victoria pleaded tearfully, âSis, I truly love Nathan. Please let him go. Without him, I canât live. Please, for my sake, divorce him and let us be together.â
Hearing this, Nathanâs face grew unreadable. He gazed quietly at Isabella, waiting for her response.
