53 Freak

“It hurts... ”

Isabella screamed and pushed Rosy away forcefully. Unprepared, Rosy staggered and bumped into the doorframe beside her. She went out a light cry. Then Carl’s roar immediately sounded in the room. “Damn girl, don’t you dare to hurt your sister!”

“I didn’t.”

When Isabella saw Carl stand up, she knew that there was no good for her if she met the tough with toughness. She was so scared that she quickly explained, “Lukas only helped me get to the hospital as my brother-in-law. You can ask my classmates to prove that. I’m innocent! Why did you hit me?”

“Then why did he kiss you?”

“He didn’t kiss me at all. He just approached me and encouraged me not to move.”

Isabella curled up uncomfortably because of pain. In order to protect herself, she had to lie. “Paparazzi can’t be trusted. It’s all about angles. Doesn’t Rosy have any trust in Lukas?”

Hearing this, Rosy’s eyes flashed. She bent down, pinched Isabella’s chin and asked, “Did you really not seduce Lukas?”

“No!” Isabella replied without hesitation.

.....

Rosy narrowed her eyes, “But you took care of him for more than half a year. Are you willing to give him up like this?”

“I’m not, but he chose you.”

???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????

Isabella looked at Rosy’s slanting eyes and said sadly, “After he woke up, he chose to be with you. Even though I took care of him for so long, he doesn’t have any feelings to me!”

After hearing this answer, Rosy seemed to be very satisfied. She raised her body and said coldly after crossing her arms, “Isabella, today you have to swear that from now on, if you dare to have any inordinate thoughts to Lukas, you will never be happy.”

The aggressive Rosy made Isabella’s heart ache as if it was being stabbed by a knife.

Lukas’ handsome and gentle face flashed in front of Isabella as she forcefully pinched her palm.

It’s all over. All hope was gone. She could never win over Rosy. There was no happiness for her...

Isabella gently closed his eyes and held back the tears in her eyes, “I swear that if I ever have any inappropriate thoughts to Lukas again, I will never be happy...”

...

The sun set peacefully.

When Isabella returned to the Wilson Manor, it was 4:30 p.m.

Joseph, who usually came back at 6 o’clock, had sat on the sofa.

Isabella was stunned and asked, “Joseph, why are you so early today...?”

“Grandpa told me to come back early to be with you.”

Joseph sat on the sofa with a small laptop on his lap. He was typing on the keyboard quickly without raising his head. Apparently he was busy with work. Joseph said, “Go change and come down for dinner. Grandpa will be back later. Today, it’s just the two of us eating together.”

Isabella pursed his lips and touched her stomach that’s been kicked. She limped upstairs and said, “I’ll skip the dinner. I have no appetite now.”

Joseph flapped the computer shut.

He finally raised his head and said, “What do you mean? You almost ate the entire kitchen during the day. Why do you lost your appetite the moment you see me?”

Isabella continued while going upstairs, “It has nothing to do with you.”

“Isabella, why is this attitude?”

Joseph stood up and was about to come upstairs. Realizing his intention, Isabella sped himself up but was intercepted by Joseph at the door.

The door was forcefully kicked open, and Isabella fell to the ground.

Seeing the tall Joseph enter with a gloomy look, Isabella knew that today was not her day. Unfortunately, Charlie was not at home, so no one could be on her side.

It seemed that even if she dodged Carl’s fist, she wouldn’t be able to avoid Joseph’s slap.

Thinking of this, she simply sat on the ground in despair and cried.

“What’s there to cry about?”

Joseph was originally very angry. But when Isabella suddenly cried, he was somewhat puzzled. “Didn’t she just fall on her butt? There’s a carpet on the ground, how could that be painful?”

“Don’t cry, I’ll ask Doctor Morris to check on you,” he said as he stepped forward and tried to pull Isabella up.

“No!” Isabella screamed as if she had been electrocuted. She was so scared that she shook Joseph’s hands away, “Get away! Don’t touch me!”

“Get away? Isabella, are you lost of your mind? Do you want to die?” Joseph roared, “Get up now!”

“I won’t. Yes, I’m asking for it!”

Isabella finally collapsed, “Everyone can beat me and scold me. They bully me and hurt me with no consequence. Joseph, aren’t you very powerful?”

Isabella went all out and laid down on the ground, saying “Just stomp on me! Come on! I am just hateful bug!”

Joseph thought that he had experienced life.

But this was also the first time he had seen such a spectacular “shrew” act. He was almost completely unable to react and was stunned. “Isabella! What’s wrong with you? Did you get bitten by a mad dog when you went out?”

“After you stamping to death, remember to chop me up into pieces and throw them into the sea!”

“I don’t want to be a person my next life! Never! It’s too hard to be a fucking human!” Isabella became excited.

Joseph finally realized that today’s Isabella was unusual.

In such a short while, no matter how crazy she acted, she had been covering the part where the lower right ribs were.

As for her entire face ... Why is the corner of her mouth broken? And her face seemed to be swollen as well.

“Hey! What’s wrong with you?”

Joseph decided to ask his doubts out. He forcefully pulled Isabella up and turned her face to him. “What happened to your face?”

“It has nothing to do with you. Hey! What are you doing?”

Joseph lifted Isabella’s clothes and immediately saw a fist-sized bruise. He couldn’t help but ask angrily, “Did you fight with anyone this afternoon? How did this come?”

“Don’t touch me! It hurts!”

When Joseph touched the hurting area, Isabella immediately grimaced in pain, tears streaming down her face.

Joseph retracted his hand and a sharp look appeared in his eyes. He also discovered that Isabella’s foot, which was no longer swollen in the morning, now was once again in bloodshot.

Joseph said no more and carried Isabella to bed. He then called Doctor Morris urgently.

Ten minutes later.

“I’m sure it’s a new injury.”

Doctor Morris frowned and said. “I’ll apply some medicine to it now. It will be better within six hours.”

Joseph walked to the bedside and asked sternly, “Tell me, where you went this afternoon?”

Isabella remained silent and buried her face under the quilt, not daring to look at Joseph.

“If you don’t say, you are not allowed to eat tomorrow!” Joseph uncovered quilt and said angrily, “And tonight either!”

“So be it!”

Isabella looked at Joseph eyes that were about to kill, and suddenly realized that he was so angry because his grandfather would find out about her injuries and scolded him.

After a moment of silence, Isabella whispered, “I fell. If Grandpa asks, you can say that I fell.”
