Chapter 136

“So, it’s really needles…” Isabella examined the few needles lodged in her knee, her mind racing. In an instant, she mentally listed everyone who might have a motive for this.

Seth’s expression was grave. He looked up and glanced at her. “You seem to attract unwanted attention. It appears that there are people everywhere who want you dead.” He reflected, Her car was going so fast just now. A momentary distraction, a slight slip of the steering wheel, could have been life-threatening.

Upon hearing this, fear instantly washed over her, and her hands, resting on the rock, clenched into fists. Alex had given her this suit, but she had a feeling that Alex wasn’t the culprit. With many people in the company harboring envy, the culprit could be anyone.

Seth stood up, his hand on his belt. He quickly made a decision, saying, “Let’s go to the hospital.”

The grid girl, who had been silent, stepped forward and said softly, “I’ve 08:40 Tue, 2 Jan Chapter 136 Unbearable Affections already called for an ambulance.” As soon as she finished speaking, the faint sound of the ambulance siren reached them.

Isabella glanced towards the intersection, expecting the ambulance, but her eyes caught sight of a red sports car first.

The car smoothly came to a stop, and Gordon emerged. His gaze locked onto Isabella seated on the rock. Spotting the tear in her pants, his eyes widened in shock. He hurried over, heading straight for Seth. “You son of a b*tch!”

Huh? Before she could comprehend the situation, Gordon threw a punch at Seth. Seth skillfully dodged the punch in a swift move, stepping back several paces.

Unhappy that his punch had missed, Gordon prepared for another one.

Speechless, Isabella immediately shouted, “Stop!”

Gordon froze and looked back in disbelief. “Are you defending him?”

She was baffled, not understanding how this conversation had suddenly 08:40 Tue, 2 Jan N Chapter 136 Unbearable Affections turned into a dialogue from a cheesy soap opera. She rolled her eyes while pointing emphatically at her leg. “This is from a car crash!”

He was momentarily taken aback. “But your pants-”

She was at a loss for words. “Mr. Shaffer was just checking on me.”

“That’s nonsense! Who would check on people like this?” Gordon remained stubborn.

Seth snorted, his gaze full of disdain as he jeered, “You’re quite the player in your daily life, aren’t you?”

Gordon was momentarily speechless. Seth had hit the nail on the head; he had indeed forced intimacy before. When he noticed the torn pants on Isabella just now, impure thoughts had crossed his mind.

The atmosphere became awkward and tense. Just as Isabella felt like she was suffocating, the ambulance finally arrived.

The nurses and doctors seemed hurried and flustered. They wore unfriendly 08:40 Tue, 2 Jan M Chapter 136 Unbearable Affections expressions, perhaps irritated by such reckless street racers.

The nurses looked displeased with Isabella as she was lifted onto the stretcher. Suddenly, they noticed Seth’s presence, and everyone’s attitude shifted. The nurses exchanged astonished glances while subtly hinting at each other. Is that really Seth Shaffer?

Isabella smirked, deliberately feigning politeness. “Mr. Shaffer, I can go on my own.”

“No!” A nurse eagerly seized the opportunity, her eyes gleaming as she looked at him. “You must have… a family member with you.”

“What kind of family member is he?” Gordon glared at the nurse and swiftly got into the ambulance. “I’ll go with her.”

“If I’m not a family member, how does that make you one?” Seth raised an eyebrow, looking provocatively at Gordon. Then, suddenly, he hopped into the ambulance.

Isabella was astonished. “Mr. Shaffer?” She wondered, Don’t you have Chapter 136 Unbearable Affections anything else to do? Must you visit the hospital just to catch a whiff of disinfectant?

He leaned against the interior wall of the ambulance, looking straight ahead.

“I’d rather see your condition for myself, just to make sure you can’t use it against me.”

Isabella was utterly speechless. “Tsk!” She quietly scoffed and casually lay down, paying no attention to the two men beside her.

The ambulance was crowded. Seeing that Isabella was okay, a few nurses began to relax. Their attention shifted between Seth and Gordon, thinking, Mr.

Shaffer looks just as good as he does on TV, but this unknown guy is no less handsome. Glancing at Isabella, with her still-healing facial wounds and disheveled appearance, they couldn’t help but be puzzled. The nurses whispered, Are these guys blind? They felt like their world was turning upside down.

The awkward atmosphere lingered until they arrived at the hospital.

Seth and Gordon sat by the ambulance’s door, exchanging a glance, but 08:40 Tue, 2 Jan M Chapter 136 Unbearable Affections neither made a move to get off.

“Gentlemen, we’ve arrived,” one of the nurses reminded them embarrassedly.

Seth didn’t respond.

Gordon clicked his tongue. “Tsk! You go first. I’ll carry Isabella.”

Seth refused to budge, mocking, “You got her hospitalized just by taking her to dinner. Can you even carry her out of the ambulance safely?”

Gordon frowned. “When did I get her-” He paused mid-sentence, suddenly recalling the previous incident with the ring, leaving his words stuck. He glared at Seth.

Both men stood their ground. Seth seemed calm, having the upper hand, while Gordon refused to back down.

Speechless, Isabella expressionlessly sat up on the stretcher. “I can walk without your kind assistance,” she said, struggling to get off her stretcher with her other leg. Despite the pain she was in, she bent down and passed right through the two men, hopping out of the ambulance on one foot. “Gasp…” The movement stretched her wound, causing her to grimace in pain.

Unable to bear witness to this, the nurses in the ambulance looked at each other, thinking, Apparently, Prince Charming’s affections are not for everyone.

Compassionately, they assisted Isabella, one on each side.

Seth watched as Isabella was helped away.inside the hospital with a deep frown. Displeased, he prepared to get out of the ambulance.

Suddenly, Gordon extended his leg, blocking Seth’s path.
