Welcome To My Life

Chapter 29 Don’t Be Arrogant, Isobel



Eduard helped Isobel transfer to a VIP ward, so there was only Isobel in the ward.

After the nurse left, he stood by her bed for a while. He wanted to say something, but when his gaze fell on her face, he finally said, "Don't think so much. You shall take a good rest." After talking, he wanted to go downstairs to smoke. But Isobel suddenly called him, "Eduard."

Her voice was very soft, probably she had exhausted all her energy because of what happened to her tonight.

"Are you hungry?"

Isobel looked at him, and her face was pale under the light. She said, "Don't be silly like me."

She took a deep breath and then continued, "If you love someone like a moth flying to the fire, no one will be moved except yourself."

He held the guardrail of the bed. When he heard what she said, the tail finger of his right hand trembled.

He lowered his head and hid his sadness under the light and shadow. And then he said, "Don't worry. I am smarter than you."

Isobel smiled gently and said, "That's good. You won't be hurt if you are smart enough."

She turned her head and didn't look at him anymore while talking, "Go back home. Please leave me alone tonight."

Eduard looked at her for a while and then said, "OK. You can call me if you need."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

He smiled and then closed the door of the ward and left.

It was over 10:00 at night, and there were few people in the hospital. Eduard stood downstairs in the Inpatient Department, lowered his head and then lit a cigarette.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and then couldn't help but smile when he thought of what Isobel said just now.

A moth flying to the fire? He didn't think he was so great. He was just more persistent in what he wanted to do.

As soon as Martha arrived at the hospital, she saw that Hamish walked out of the hospital. She opened the door and then got out of the car. She walked up to him and said, "How is she?"

He looked up at her and took the cigarette from his mouth with his hand. He looked so indifferent without any expressions on his face. And then he said, "Did you forget what I told you before?"

Martha had came here to condemn his guilt, but when she saw his expression, she only felt scared in her mind and took a step back. She said, "I didn't do anything."

Hamish sneered slightly and flicked the ashes on the cigarette with his index finger. And then he said, "You are really funny. Why don't you dare to recognize it since you did it? I don't think you can be compared with Isobel."

Martha had fought against Isobel almost four years. So it made her feel angry when he said that. She said, "So what do you want to do?"

"I just want to take some time and break the engagement with you."

"Why?"

She looked at him and felt that it was unbelievable. She asked, "Hamish, what are you talking about? Do you think I am as cheap as Isobel? Why can you break the engagement with me?" "Cheap?"

After hearing what she said, Hamish frowned and then walked up to her directly.

Martha was a bit scared and then stepped back. She said, "What are you going to do? Hamish, you can't hurt me. What happened tonight was ridiculous enough. Do you... Ahh!"

Hamish pressed the cigarette butt on her arm without expression on his face. He said, "If you don't know how to watch your language next time, I don't mind teaching you how to talk again." Martha looked down at her arm burned with the cigarette butt, she trembled with anger. She raised her hand subconsciously and tried to hit Hamish, but was stopped by him.

"You are crazy! If you break the engagement with me, your brother will replace you as the successor of the ZC Group. Without me, you are nothing."

"Do you think you can stay with Isobel if you break the engagement with me? Don't be foolish! I know what you want to do. But you can't treat me as a shield for you. I don't think Isobel deserve..." There was the sound of the lighter at this time, which was particularly abrupt.

Hamish lit a cigarette again. He smoked and looked at her with a smile. He said, "Go ahead."

Martha felt panicked. Her arm was burned with the cigarette butt hurt now.

Hamish looked like a lunatic after he removed his disguise tonight.

"No. I think it's boring now. Since you like Isobel so much, then I wish you a harmonious union lasting a hundred years."

Hamish looked at her and then suddenly laughed. He said, "Martha, I always wondered why Freddie didn't like you before. Now I got it. Because you are rude and self-righteous."

After talking, he turned back and got in his car.

Before Martha replied, he drove away.

She looked down at the skin burned by the cigarette butt on her wrist. She hesitated for a while and then went to the hospital for simple treatment.

After taking treatment, she thought that Isobel made her embarrassed at her birthday party tonight. She was so angry. She asked a nurse and knew which ward Isobel stayed, and then she went straight to her ward by taking the elevator.

When the door was opened, Isobel thought that it was Eduard.

She looked at the moonlight outside the window and did not turn back or say anything.

There were less than forty days after she was pregnant, and the fetus hadn't formed yet. So when he left, there was only blood.

However, she felt so hurt. She once simply thought that she could marry Hamish if they had a child.

Unexpectedly, she lost her child as soon as she knew that she was pregnant.

"Congratulations, Ms. Lewis. You abandoned a kid who would be an encumbrance for you."

When she heard Martha's voice, she felt unexpected.

She turned her head to look at Martha and said with a sneer, "I am so sorry Ms. Sutton. I didn't mean to bother you at your birthday party."

Martha bit her teeth and said without expressions, "It doesn't matter. I have a birthday party every year. But it may be difficult for you to be pregnant again since you had a miscarriage this time."

Martha was so vicious. She knew Isobel just had a miscarriage, so she came here to curse her for not having a baby in the future.

Isobel squeezed her palms for a while and then smiled gently. She said, "Did you see Hamish just now? He left for a while."

After hearing her words, Martha finally got mad, "Don't be arrogant, Isobel. Since you dared to harm Hamish's benefits, you will suffer for it!"

"Really?"

Isobel asked and then suddenly laughed, "Thanks for caring about me. I have suffered so much in my life, so I will never be scared. It's so late, I think you'd better go back to your home, or you can chase after Hamish now."

"You'd better care about yourself, because the Lewis family won't let you go. I'll go now. Please take a good rest."

And then Martha left the ward.

When she walked out of the ward, she looked indifferent immediately. She raised her leg and kicked the elevator door. She thought of the provocation in Isobel's words just now and became more and more angry.

When the door of the elevator opened, she thought about something, and then she took out her phone and made a phone call to Hamish.
