308 You Owe Me So Much
âMy friend hit me.â
âHe went crazy last night, but I also beat him up.â Cedric sighed.
âSince you are friends, how can he be so ruthless? He is not in a good mood, but it was still too far to beat up his friend who drank wine with him in the middle of the night.â
âMaybe I accidentally hurt his feelings. His girlfriend just broke up with him. When he heard my story, he went crazy.â
Cedric said with a smile. âI can understand him. I showed off my relationship in front of him.â
Isabella also said jokingly, âI think you did it on purpose.â
Cedric looked at Isabellaâs smiling face and suddenly held her hand. âIsabella, did you agree with my proposal yesterday? Can we discuss our wedding?â
Isabella was stunned. She suddenly remembered the moment when Cedric leaned towards her on the bed last night.
She subconsciously withdrew her hand.
.....
Perhaps because her movements were too fast and too forceful, Cedric was also stunned.
Isabella lowered her head and pursed her lips. âCedric, I think...â
âSorry, I was a little too impatient...â
Cedric saw the hesitation in Isabellaâs eyes and thought for a moment before saying, âItâs my fault. I couldnât control myself since last night. I wasnât like this before. Isabella, donât be too stressed. Letâs talk about our marriage later. Letâs start a relationship first. You can take your time. I just hope that you can forget the man who cheated on you in the past and try to accept a new relationship.â
Isabella listened to Cedricâs words and suddenly remembered Williamâs words. William said that Joseph often lost control in front of her.
Cedric and Joseph were really similar.
Isabella nodded.
Cedric stared at Isabella who was in a daze. He pinched her finger and changed the topic. âAlright, letâs not talk about this anymore. Actually, I want to discuss something with you. I wanted to bring you home for dinner today and let you meet my parents. However, the doctor said that it would take me at least three days to recover. I think itâs better to wait for a few days. Otherwise, my parents will be worried. As for your mother, I want to send someone today...â
âAbout that!â
Isabella hurriedly said, âLetâs talk about it later. My sisterâs wedding is the day after tomorrow. Itâs not good to cause trouble now. Moreover, I want to tell my mother first, so letâs pick her up after my sisterâs wedding.â
Cedric looked at Isabellaâs slightly flustered look and nodded. âAlright, Iâll listen to you. Isabella...â
Cedric still wanted to say something, but Isabella quickly stood up and interrupted him. âCedric, itâs so good to see that youâre fine. Take good care of yourself. I still have to see a friend.â
âA friend?â Cedric was stunned.
Isabella grinned awkwardly. âHe said he was injured. He had taken good care of me before, so I think I should visit him.â
Cedric immediately nodded. âFrom now on, your friends are also my friends. He had taken good care of you, so I should thank him. Since he is a patient, you should bring some gifts. I will ask Peter to buy some gifts and send you over...â
âNo!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm just going to check on him. I donât need to bring him gifts.â
Cedric smiled. âAlright then. Go home early. I will leave the hospital after I recover. You should take care of yourself for the next few days.â
âNo problem. Iâll come over later.â Isabella smiled gently.
Isabella walked out of the private hospital and sighed as she looked in the direction of the hospital in the city.
Although she didnât want to talk to Joseph in her heart, she still lied to Cedric just now. She was going to visit Joseph.
She was a bit evil and selfish in her heart. She could lie so easily and smoothly.
In front of Joseph, who was so irritable, Isabella had to give up on many principles.
âForget it, Iâll go clear the air with him. Iâll break up with him peacefully.â
Josephâs heart was soft. He would listen to her if she spoke nicely.
Isabella thought through everything and got on the bus to the city hospital.
In the VIP ward on the top floor...
Dozens of bodyguards in black surrounded the door. If Gerry was not standing in the middle of them, Isabella would not have the guts to go over.
âDid you send more bodyguards over because you were injured? How did Joseph get hurt?â Isabella asked Gerry.
âMiss Isabella, you can ask him in person.â
Gerry opened the door and asked Isabella to go in. Isabella nodded resignedly and walked in.
Gerry shut the door, and Isabella shivered.
Why did she feel that the bodyguards looked at her with strange eyes today?
âMiss Isabella, you are finally here.â
William walked over and said respectfully, âIâll leave you. Please speak nicely with Mr. Joseph.â
âAlright.â
Although Isabella said to William, she had been looking at Joseph.
One of his legs was hanging, and his face was swollen. One of his eyes was bruised. There was anger and hostility in his eyes. His eyes gave Isabella goosebumps.
If it wasnât for the familiar eyes, Isabella would have recognized the bruised man in front of her.
What happened today? So many people were injured and had bruised faces.
After William left, only she and Joseph were left in the huge ward.
Isabella cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. âDidnât you say there was a kitchen? The food for the soup is all inside the kitchen, right? Iâll go cook soup for you now.â
âWhy didnât you ask me why I was injured?â
Joseph said coldly, âYou owe me so much. Donât you care about me when you see me injured?â
Alright, she did owe Joseph a lot of favors.
âHow did you get injured?â Isabella asked a little unnaturally.
Joseph snorted coldly.
âWhat a hypocritical woman.â
Isabella was speechless. She said in a low voice, âI didnât ask, and you said that I donât care about you. Now that Iâve asked you, you said that I was hypocritical!â
Then, she walked into the kitchen and shouted, âNever mind! What soup do you want? Do you want salty soup or sweet soup?â
Joseph got off the bed and limped into the kitchen like a spoiled child. âI want the soup that you cooked for my grandpa.â
