Chapter 138
Seth sat sternly on the side, tilting his head slightly, supporting his temples
with just two fingers, and looked at Isabella with a smirk that wasn’t quite a
smile. “Someone is supporting you now, so your tone has changed.”
She frowned, glanced at Gordon beside her, and probably guessed what
these two had just said. Facing Seth’s gaze, she didn’t back down. “If you
know someone is backing me up, you should show me more respect in the
future.”
The hint of a false smile in his eyes instantly froze. Maintaining the same
posture, he stared at her intently. After a while, he chuckled. “The person
supporting you doesn’t mean much to me. Do you think you deserve my
respect?”
Seth finished speaking, and Gordon had already stepped forward before
Isabella could retort.
“Seth, stop pretending. Ás long as I’m here, keep your hands off her. You can
give it a try.”

She was helpless. She had only wanted to have a conversation but
accidentally ignited something. Surprisingly, she couldn’t control the
situation.

“You’re foolish.” Seth didn’t even spare a glance for Gordon, straightened up,
and looked at the doctor behind Gordon. “Why are you just standing there? Is
her leg taken care of?”
The doctor, caught up in observing the commotion, had paused in his
actions. When Seth called out to him suddenly, he couldn’t help but feel a bit
embarrassed. He quickly lowered his head and resumed his work.
The atmosphere was tense. Isabella’s mind went blank, and even the pain in
her leg became numb.
No one said a word. Only Gordon stood assertively, like a protective bird
q
guarding her chick.
Seth didn’t even bother to glance at Gordon, showing impatience to leave,
constantly checking the time on his wrist.

Isabella noticed his actions and couldn’t help but say, “Mr. Shaffer, if you’re
too busy, you can go first.”

“Do I need your permission to leave?” Seth shot her a disdainful look, sending
a sharp gaze in her direction.
She bit her lip, rolled her eyes behind Gordon, and kept silent, choosing not to
speak.
After a while, the doctor finished treating her wounds and carefully explained
the details. “It’s better for you to stay in the hospital for observation.”
“I have to stay here?” She frowned, looking at the doctor with confusion. “Is it
that serious?”
“This is a steel needle, not an embroidery needle.” The doctor’s expression
was speechless as he threw the forceps in his hand into alcohol.
Isabella was at a loss for words, silent for a moment. She didn’t want to stay
in the hospital, yet she was worried that there might be a real problem with
her leg. She was in a dilemma.

“What are you thinking? Just stay if you need to.” Gordon turned around,
directly deciding for her, swiftly taking out a card. “I’ll go pay for you.”

She found it hard to make a decision, hesitating to speak. However, he didn’t
wait for her to gather her thoughts and walked out.
She sighed helplessly, raised her head, and again locked eyes with Seth’s
indifferent gaze. Feeling uneasy, she turned her face away. She didn’t want to
give him much attention and avoid showing any vulnerability.
Gordon acted quickly, and in no time, he had arranged everything related to
the ward.
Isabella initially thought about walking over, but Gordon swooped in, picking
her up in one smooth motion, leaving no room for anyone else to intervene.
Seth watched coldly, making no sound, but followed them to the ward.
When Gordon carried her, Isabella felt tense. She refrained from leaning
against him, aware that in Seth’s world, she was still considered his property
-perhaps a used one. Being his possession, she believed others shouldn’t

defile her.
Meanwhile, Seth stayed quiet the whole time. He was definitely up to
something, or perhaps he was just keeping a major plan under wraps.
Once in the ward, Gordon busied himself, completely ignoring Seth’s
presence. The atmosphere had dropped to freezing point.
She had a headache worse than the pain in her leg. Anxiously, her mind felt
like it was on the verge of exploding. At a critical moment, the door to the
hospital room swung open from the outside.
Led by Alex, a group of women, along with Jonas, who had more severe
injuries than Isabella and a bandage wrapped around his head.
“Why did you all come?” Isabella was surprised.
Everyone squeezed in, only to find Seth blocking the way, showing not
intention of moving aside.
The scene became comical, with several people maintaining their
squeezed-in positions, frozen at the doorway, afraid to accidentally touch
Seth.
“We saw your car accident in the aerial footage, so we came to check on
you.” Alex gathered the courage to speak, lacking his usual confidence. He
didn’t even dare to glance too much behind Seth.
Observing their discomfort, Isabella felt the urge to speak up. However,
worried that Seth might not take it well, she hesitated, ultimately choosing to
stay silent. But if she didn’t say anything, perhaps someone else would, less
tactfully.
Seizing the opportunity, Abigail pushed past Alex and headed straight for
Seth. “Mr. Shaffer, don’t stand at the door; it’s very unsafe.” She mimicked a
girlish tone, coquettishly speaking while throwing flirtatious glances at Seth.
Isabella rolled her eyes, mentally preparing to light a candle for this foolish
person in advance.
As expected, Seth lowered his gaze the next second and bluntly remarked,
“What is that disgusting smell on you?”
