Chapter 83 Nathan dismissed Mooreâs father and mother with a few words, then slowly walked into the house. As he passed by Isabellaâs room, he didnât ignore it as he usually did, but instead paused at the door. He stood there, dazed for a moment, his thoughts in disarray. He tried to figure out why Isabella had become so cold, heartless, and cruel, but none of the reasons seemed convincing enough.
How did she end up like this?
Unable to resist, Nathan raised his hand and knocked on the door. After knocking for a while, there was no response. His face darkened. âIsabella, I know youâre inside. Open the door. I need to talk to you.â
A cold, harsh voice came from inside. âI want to rest. Letâs talk tomorrow.â
Her tone was indifferent, even slightly impatient.
Nathan was stunned. In the past, whenever he approached Isabella, she would jump up in joy. But now, when he approached her, she seemed to despise himâjust like he had once done to her.
Nathanâs face turned serious, and he softened his tone.
âIsabella, your Sisâs condition is very serious. You should be with your parents to help her through this difficult time. Thatâs what a family should do...ââ

Nathanâs face darkened, but he continued to lecture. âYour father and mother made many mistakes when you were young. But after all these years, at least your father and Sis have been kind to you... you should be more forgiving.â
The bedroom door suddenly swung open, and Isabella glared at him with eyes full of fury. âNathan, Iâm not some saint. On the contrary, Iâm someone who holds grudges, especially grudges... I will never forgive them in this life. And if thereâs a next life, I still wonât forgive them.â
Nathanâs handsome face turned pale, and he trembled slightly. The vengeful Isabella made him uneasy. For some reason, his thoughts went to the time when he had taken one of her kidneys. Compared to the way Qiaoâs parents treated her, he didnât seem much better. Could it be that Isabella would never forgive him too?
Nathan said, âIsabella, everyone makes mistakes...â
Isabella poured cold water on him, saying, âNathan, youâre just like them. Youâre all the sameâungrateful, despicable people who cross the bridge and then burn it.â
Nathanâs face became as tense as if he were constipated, i mortified beyond belief.
Suddenly, Isabella slammed the door shut with great force, making a loud sound that startled Nathan. He left with a heavy heart, feeling an inexplicable discomfort in his chest.
Back in his bedroom, he slumped down on the couch, distracted 17.10 Chapter 83 17:288 Vouchers and weary. Suddenly, his phone rang. He pulled it out and swiped to open it.
