1/7
The unexpected incident involving Seth left everyone in shock, and he regained
consciousness just as abruptly. The onlookers observed the CPR process without any
inappropriate thoughts. Whispers began to circulate as soon as the doctors lifted him
onto the stretcher, especially when Gordon rushed into the crowd with a gloomy
expression, picked up Isabella from the ground, and silently returned to their room.
Still in shock from the intense scene, Isabella sat on the bed in a daze until he shouted,
“Why did you have to be the one to give him CPR?!”
Isabella frowned, surprised that this was his first question. “It was urgent.”
“Don’t give me that. Corey knows what to do. Why didn’t he do it?” He was so angry that
his chest heaved. He took a sip from his water cup, then threw it on the ground, cursing
under his breath.

She instinctively felt that he was being unreasonable but paused when she heard his
lást sentence. That’s right. The situation was so urgent that Corey shouldn’t have had
any concerns and should have done it himself to save time.
“He was drowning. It wasn’t an act.” She only thought of Seth’s condition and
immediately dismissed the fleeting thought.
Gordon was at a loss for words. He couldn’t argue with that. After all, no one would joke
about their life. He paced back and forth, feeling very upset. He didn’t want to take his
anger out on Isabella, as everyone saw that it was Caitlin who forcibly dragged her to
the scene.
If Isabella had hesitated and tried to refuse, she probably would have been verbally
attacked.
He sighed and glanced at her. “You rest. I’ll take a break.” He had always treated Isabella
with care. It was rare for him to be so cold and harsh; even more peculiar for him to

Helpless, Isabella rubbed her temples and calmed down as several images flashed
through her mind. When she bent down to give Seth mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, he
suddenly opened his eyes, which were wet and naturally defensive, albeit lacking
intimidation due to his near-drowning state.
The cold sensation on her lips didn’t register at the time, but now, it felt real, as if she
was still in that scene. How bothersome.
She ran her fingers through her hair and reached for her phone without any energy.
Before she could unlock it, a call came in. It was Nicolas.
Isabella assumed he was rushing over to look after Seth and decided to answer the call
after some thought. “Isabella, what’s the situation over there?”
She explained the general situation. “He should be fine now.”

He sighed, sounding anxious. “Isabella, why didn’t you stop Mr. Shaffer? His back injury
is so severe. Even if he’s saved now, it could get infected.”
She was frustrated. “I couldn’t stop him.”
“Well, you could’ve tried harder. Aren’t we paid to cater to their whims?” Nicolas rarely
spoke from a high position, then added, “I just got in touch with Selena here. She insists
on keeping that old man’s child and is trying to pin it on Mr. Shaffer, who’s already
unlucky enough.”
Isabella was confused. “What old man?” As soon as she finished speaking, she jumped
from the bed, fighting off dizziness. “The child isn’t Seth’s?”
Nicolas exclaimed in surprise, “My goodness. How can the child possibly be Mr.
Shaffer’s?”
She was speechless.

He continued, “That child is Mr. Lime’s from Sixteen Days. It was the night Mr. Shaffer
went to see you and left Selena alone at the hotel.”

Isabella was still stunned, her mind spinning as she vaguely remembered the timeline.
The night she set a trap for Lara, Seth did appear suddenly, and Selena was nowhere to
be seen.
“Isabella?” Nicolas called out again.
She sat on the bed, her emotions swirling. “I-I’m listening.”
“I have to wait for Selena to be out of the operating room. It’ll be a while before I can get
there. Can you keep an eye on Mr. Shaffer for me?”
Isabella hesitated to speak but stopped herself. “I…”
How could she keep an eye on him? Just a few days ago, she had slapped Seth in the

face, and now, she couldn’t even have a conversation with him. However, Nicolas didn’t
seem to care and said a few more words before abruptly ending the call.
Feeling helpless, Isabella sat by the window and forcefully tapped her head several
times, recalling Seth’s reaction on the phone. He had given her a hint, but she had made
an assumption based on her own perspective and accused him directly. He had
protected her from the soup, and she had… repaid his kindness with ingratitude?
She was already reluctant to owe anyone any favors, and now it had become more than
just a simple favor. Her mind was in chaos, and she couldn’t sit still. As a result, she
opened the door and headed towards Seth’s room.
After asking the front desk for his room number, she followed the sounds and traced
their source. The entire fourth floor had been booked, so there were only a few medical
staff coming and going. The corridor was empty.
She tiptoed over, gradually approaching Seth’s room as faint voices could be heard

from the adjacent room.
“You’re quite audacious. Aren’t you afraid something might happen?”
“I’ve been diving abroad for four or five years. I’m pretty confident about this. Don’t
you
trust me, Dariel?”
“Lwas terrified at that time. If something happened to Seth, wouldn’t I be implicated as
well?”
The two male voices were easily recognizable as Corey and Dariel.
