Chapter 48
Although he admires Isabella’s beautiful attire, he suddenly recalled that she scratched and bit him just now in such luxurious and elegant clothes...
He was instantly enraged, feeling extremely unhappy.
Doctor Morris whispered to the side, “It doesn’t matter if Miss Isabella won’t use her right foot too often. Look at her beautiful dance.”
“You think she’s beautiful?”
Joseph glanced at him. Doctor Morris immediately stopped talking.
Isabella performed vividly on the stage. Her bright eyes and charming movements attracted everyone’s eyes.
She was truly a beauty, making people’s heart race.
“That’s wonderful!”
.....
Charlie sincerely praised, “In the lyrics, two heroes fight for a beauty. I didn’t know why would they do such stupid thing, but now seeing Isabella, I finally understand....”
“She’s just like the beauty in the song! Joseph, you have a good taste. You are blessed!”
“Grandpa, you are flattering me.”
Joseph smiled humbly while he looked at Isabella’s wonderful performance. But for some reason, he became even more annoyed.
Look at how brilliantly she smiled!
Look at how freely she danced!
Look at her seductive eyes!
Was she trying to hook up all the men present?
This damn girl who didn’t know how to restrain herself!
Did she think he didn’t exist? He was her boyfriend in name!
“Eighteen Turns in a Row! Good skill!”
Cheers and applause grew louder and louder from below the stage.
Although Joseph couldn’t match Charlie in art, he could tell why everyone was cheering....
Isabella was making eighteen consecutive turns on the tip of her right foot!
“Damn it! Does she not want her right foot anymore?”
Just as Joseph thought of it, he suddenly saw that Isabella’s brilliant face turned pale, and her right ankle twisted in a strange angle. Then she fell to one side...
Isabella screamed.
A cry came from below the stage. Joseph’s heart was beating fiercely. He immediately stood up and prepared to go on stage to rescue her.
But as he took a step forward, a man in white suit rushed out from his side and jumped onto the stage.
“Call an ambulance! Hurry up!” The man shouted anxiously on the stage.
The performance hall fell into chaos. The handsome man in white suit quickly left with Isabella in his arms. Charlie stood still with confusion. “Joseph, the man taking Isabella away just now...”
“He is a popular actor, Lukas.”
Joseph coldly glanced at the direction where they left. However, he spoke to Charlie in a very calm tone, “He’s Isabella’s brother-in-law.”
“Oh, I see.”
Charlie was relieved and smiled. “That’s fine. I thought you met a love rival.”
Joseph did not comment. “Although he is Isabella’s relative, I am still worried. I will go over to take a look.”
“Yes, of course. Isabella is your girlfriend. It’s inconvenient for other men to take care of her. Hurry up and take a look. Call me when you get the result. I’m afraid she is exhausted.”
“Yes.”
As Joseph turned around, his calm expression changed in an instant. Instead, he put on a cold expression. “Gerry, I want the information of Lukas.”
“Yes!”
...
In the Peace City Hospital.
The doctor was examining Isabella’s ankle. Isabella grabbed Lukas’ skirt. She sweated and trembled with pain.
“Hold on.”
Lukas held Isabella’s hand and comforted her softly, “Isabella, don’t be afraid. You’ll get better soon....”
“This foot...”
The doctor frowned. “Although the bone is not broken, it’s dislocated. You have to bear with it. I’ll reset it.”
“Reset?”
Lukas said in anxiety, “Does she need an analgesic injection first? She seems to suffer a lot.”
“It’s useless. She already had one.”
The doctor sighed. “Why did you struggle so hard? It would be bad if she has any residual illness at such a young age.”
Isabella never thought that Lukas would be the first to rush over after she fell.
This was an unexpected surprise.
His warmth and this rare touching moment made her grit her teeth and said firmly, “I’m fine, Lukas. As long as I don’t have any residual illness, I’m not afraid.”
“Alright, Mr. Lukas, hold her down.”
The doctor crouched down and made the preparation. “It’ll be fine soon, but it hurts. Don’t let her move.”
“Alright.”
Lukas wiped sweat for Isabella and kissed her on the forehead. “Isabella, don’t be afraid. I’m here.”
Although it was only a light kiss on her forehead, Isabella could still clearly feel this quick movement.
Her eyes were suddenly filled with tears. She buried her face in Lukas’ arms. She greedily sucked in the warm and familiar fragrance on his body. “Lukas...”
The doctor suddenly reset her bone, letting out a big noise.
Isabella cried.
The sound of bones being reset resounded along with Isabella’s painful cries.
The doctor’s had good skills. In just three seconds, everything was done. However, Isabella seemed to have used up all her strength and she instantly went limp.
Lukas followed the doctor’s instructions and carried Isabella to the observation room for an intravenous drip. He took good care of her, no matter wiping sweat or carrying her to elsewhere. Only when his broker called him did he leave step by step...
At this moment, it was more than half an hour since Isabella left the stage.
The door to the observation room was closed. Joseph walked in with a gloomy expression.
Isabella was lying on the bed in a sweat. When she heard footsteps, she didn’t have the strength to open her eyes. She just frowned in pain and panted heavily. “I’m really fine. Lukas, you can leave. You still have work to do.”
“If you are fine, you don’t need to stay in the hospital and pretend to be miserable.”
Joseph looked down at Isabella. His handsome face was cold, and he commanded cruelly. “Send Isabella back to the manor! Immediately!”
Isabella recognized Joseph’s voice. She opened her eyes in surprise. Hearing his cruel words, she struggled to say, “Joseph! Are you a human? I don’t recover yet! I don’t want to go back! I want Lukas! I’m not going back. You kidnapper!”
Facts proved that when Joseph got angry, Isabella could only be controlled by him.
She couldn’t make decisions for herself or even dispute with him.
She felt extremely aggrieved...
In the pink room, Isabella had changed a clean pajamas. She continued the injections. Doctor Morris was on standby on the first floor.
Standing by the window of the corridor, Joseph smoked his cigar while looking out at the night.
His eyes brightened and darkened, and his expression was variable.
“Mr. Joseph.”
Gerry quietly stood beside him. “We’ve already found out the reason for Miss Isabella’s injury. Someone did it on purpose. It was Doris. She and Miss Isabella are competitors, so she deliberately set up a trap for Miss Isabella.”
