Chapter 10

The scent of disinfectant filled Isabella’s nostrils,

causing her to furrow her brows. When she opened

her eyes, the initial blur gradually cleared to reveal

a world of white.

“You’re awake!”

Isabella lifted her head and saw a nurse beside her,

adjusting the IV drip. “…”

“You fainted. You’ve been here for an hour,” the

nurse said nonchalantly.

Isabella propped herself up, taking in her

surroundings. It was a decent treatment room, and

the place didn’t seem like an ordinary hospital.

The nurse glanced at her and raised an eyebrow.

“You’re lucky. You fainted in the mall, covered in

coffee. A handsome guy brought you here.”

Only now did Isabella feel uncomfortable. She

lowered her head and learned that her outfit was

still covered in dried coffee. “Where is the person

who brought me here?”

The nurse clicked her tongue, and her cold gaze carried a hint of gossip. “That handsome guy is really

kind. He paid for your medical expenses and

originally wanted to wait for you. But he received a

call and had to leave in a hurry.”

Isabella sighed and pursed her lips. “Well, that’s a

have a high fever of 102.2F and are still thinking

about returning to work.” Albeit complaining, the

nurse increased the speed of the IV drip.

Isabella closed her eyes wearily, her mind filled with

snippets of Seth’s icy gaze. A shiver ran down her

spine, causing a cold sweat to form on her back.

She glanced out the window at the bustling activity

outside, unconsciously clenching her fists.

Suddenly, her phone rang–it was an unfamiliar

“Isabella, what’s going on? Why are you taking so long to buy some coffee?”

Isabella frowned, realizing it was Jonas. She slowly

let out a breath. “Mr. Stokes, I fainted in the mall,

and now I’m at the hospital.”

“You’re at the hospital?” Jones sounded surprised

and oddly concerned. “Then, take the day off. Abby

has pretty much handled your tasks.”

Isabella had a gut feeling that these people weren’t

as kind as they seemed. But she didn’t have the

energy to argue now, so she exchanged a few

pleasantries and hung up.

The IV drip continued until nearly 4.00PM. When

Isabella left the hospital, the sun had already

directly. After all, she didn’t care much about the

salary.

With a pessimistic attitude, Isabella hailed a cab.

However, as soon as she arrived at the elevator,

she heard a commotion.

“Get everything out. Hurry up!”

Isabella’s heart sank, and she quickly walked into

the corridor. As she expected, there were indeed

people moving her belongings out of her

apartment.

“What are you doing?”

The movers exchanged glances but had no

intention of acknowledging her. They continued

with their work.

Isabella quickly opened the door, only to run into

the property manager, Joshua Fox.

“Miss Symons, it took you long enough!”

Isabella was so angry that she felt suffocated.

While pointing at the things outside, she

demanded, “What’s going on?! Who gave you

permission to enter my home?”

Joshua spread his hands and looked a bit

disdainful. “You forgot to pay the rent. The landlord

told us to move your things out, saying a new

tenant will be moving in soon.”

“Rent?”

Isabella froze. This apartment was arranged by

Ollie under Seth’s instructions two years ago. It was for her convenience to commute to the company.

At that time, she was told that the rent was paid for three years. In the midst of her recent busyness,

she hadn’t even thought about the house.

“If you have a problem, call the landlord. It’s almost the end of the workday, and it’s not convenient for

us either.” Rolling his eyes, Joshua turned around

and continued instructing the workers to move

Isabella’s belongings.

toss her things into the hallway like trash and heard

Joshua grumble as he continued to complain, “All

this stuff needs to be taken away as soon as

possible, or we’ll have the cleaning crew do it.”

Isabella clenched the strap of her bag, her mind

racing. Her first instinct was to call Ollie, but she

stopped herself after taking a deep breath. She

was the one who chose to leave Seth, so it was

perfectly reasonable for him to retract everything.

In the end, she only had herself to blame for not

handling the situation properly and leaving an

opening for others to humiliate her.

The corridor was filled with her belongings, leaving

no room to make even a step. Holding her phone,

she decided to seek help. “Hello…”

Half an hour later, Isabella stepped out of a cab.

The surroundings were dimly lit but relatively clean.

She found the house following the address

provided by Natasha Mills. It was an old standalone

villa, with the front gate covered in rust.

Since Natasha had given her the passcode, she

entered the yard directly and knocked on the main

door. Then, she heard a response from inside.

Click! The door opened.

“Come in.” Natasha had maroon wavy hair and

flawless features. Her appearance made her look

like the most beautiful seductress. She had
