The late summer was transitioning into early
autumn, so the cold night sent shivers down one’s
spine.

Isabella walked all the way home, and her legs were full of blisters.
After opening the door, she found herself in an
empty space. She quietly undressed and took a shower.

The scalding water hit her, almost peeling off a
layer of skin before she finally turned off the
shower. Then, she vigorously scrubbed her body
with a bath sponge, determined to erase all the
filth on her.
She went through all of this with a blank expression,
not once shedding a tear from start to finish. When
she looked in the mirror and spotted the bruise on
her neck, she stared at her reflection with
bloodshot eves for a long time before the tears

suddenly came pouring down uncontrollably.
How did she end up like this? You’re pathetic.
The figure in the mirror raised her hand and
delivered a hard slap across her cheek. It seemed
like once wasn’t enough, so she did it again and
again.
As soon as she felt pain, her mind became clear.
After wiping away her tears, she left the bathroom
and dried her hair. Eventually, she calmed down.
Louis was a ticking time bomb, so she couldn’t
cross paths with him again, or she wouldn’t be as
lucky as she had been today. Also, she wasn’t
foolish enough to actually plot against Lola. No

matter how annoying the other party was, it didn’t
warrant tarnishing her innocence. It seemed like
resignation was the best way out. Leaving Imperia
with her mother for a smaller city sounded like a
good plan.
Seth was a generous benefactor. Over the years,
she had acquired two properties and had a few
million in savings.
With those plans in mind, she wasn’t as stressed
out. Without hesitating, she threw away her towel
and promptly submitted her resignation letter to
the human resources department. Once that was
done, she felt like a rock had been lifted from her
chest, but it was just a moment of relief. The
terrifying feeling of emptiness rushed in like a tidal

Leaning against the chair, she covered her eyes
with her hands, letting the near–overflowing
emotions disappear through the gaps between her fingers.
She didn’t know how long had passed, but
exhaustion washed over her. Finally, she got up and
collapsed onto the couch, falling into a deep
slumber. Since she was resigning anyway, she
simply turned off the alarm when it rang.
She slept until mid–morning, only to be awakened
by a continuous barrage of phone calls. After
fumbling for her phone, she answered it groggily.
“Hello?”

Isabella opened her eyes in frustration and sat up.
“What do you want?”
“Mr. Shaffer is at the hospital. Please come over.”
“The hospital?” Isabella frowned but didn’t move. “I
can’t.”
Puzzled, Ollie Wallace paused for a moment and
added, “Miss Symons, you understand Mr. Shaffer’s
temper. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.
Otherwise, I’m sure you can think of the
consequences.”

Isabella didn’t say a word, and Ollie’s voice
sounded again. This time, his tone sounded gentler.

Those words made Isabella tighten her grip on her
phone as she clenched her jaw.
Ollie continued, “I heard your mother is still in a
nursing home. Those expenses must be quite high, I
presume?”
After taking a deep breath, Isabella calmed down.
“Send me the exact location.”
“Sure,” Ollie respectfully replied before hanging up.
Feeling irritated, Isabella changed into a new set of
clothes and headed out. However, she wasn’t in a

way there, even cursing Seth along the way. It
would be best if it isn’t just a minor problem.
Perhaps a painful stomach ulcer or something
similar, just to make him suffer.
When Isabella arrived at the hospital, Ollie sent her
a message, telling her to head up to the third floor
and enter the second room on the left. Upon
stepping out of the elevator, she glanced around
and found herself in the gynecology department.
She paused for a moment, her mind momentarily
blank. Then, she knocked on the door of the
examination room hesitantly. “Hello…”
Inside the examination room was a single female

doctor who glanced up at her coldly. “Are you Miss

“Yes.”
“Lay down while I get prepared.”
Isabella was confused, and her feet felt like they
were nailed to the ground.
