Chapter 308

308 You Owe Me So Much

“My friend hit me.”

“He went crazy last night, but I also beat him up.” Cedric sighed.

“Since you are friends, how can he be so ruthless? He is not in a good mood, but it was still too far to beat up his friend who drank wine with him in the middle of the night.”

“Maybe I accidentally hurt his feelings. His girlfriend just broke up with him. When he heard my story, he went crazy.”

Cedric said with a smile. “I can understand him. I showed off my relationship in front of him.”

Isabella also said jokingly, “I think you did it on purpose.”

Cedric looked at Isabella’s smiling face and suddenly held her hand. “Isabella, did you agree with my proposal yesterday? Can we discuss our wedding?”

Isabella was stunned. She suddenly remembered the moment when Cedric leaned towards her on the bed last night.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand.

.....

Perhaps because her movements were too fast and too forceful, Cedric was also stunned.

Isabella lowered her head and pursed her lips. “Cedric, I think...”

“Sorry, I was a little too impatient...”

Cedric saw the hesitation in Isabella’s eyes and thought for a moment before saying, “It’s my fault. I couldn’t control myself since last night. I wasn’t like this before. Isabella, don’t be too stressed. Let’s talk about our marriage later. Let’s start a relationship first. You can take your time. I just hope that you can forget the man who cheated on you in the past and try to accept a new relationship.”

Isabella listened to Cedric’s words and suddenly remembered William’s words. William said that Joseph often lost control in front of her.

Cedric and Joseph were really similar.

Isabella nodded.

Cedric stared at Isabella who was in a daze. He pinched her finger and changed the topic. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Actually, I want to discuss something with you. I wanted to bring you home for dinner today and let you meet my parents. However, the doctor said that it would take me at least three days to recover. I think it’s better to wait for a few days. Otherwise, my parents will be worried. As for your mother, I want to send someone today...”

“About that!”

Isabella hurriedly said, “Let’s talk about it later. My sister’s wedding is the day after tomorrow. It’s not good to cause trouble now. Moreover, I want to tell my mother first, so let’s pick her up after my sister’s wedding.”

Cedric looked at Isabella’s slightly flustered look and nodded. “Alright, I’ll listen to you. Isabella...”

Cedric still wanted to say something, but Isabella quickly stood up and interrupted him. “Cedric, it’s so good to see that you’re fine. Take good care of yourself. I still have to see a friend.”

“A friend?” Cedric was stunned.

Isabella grinned awkwardly. “He said he was injured. He had taken good care of me before, so I think I should visit him.”

Cedric immediately nodded. “From now on, your friends are also my friends. He had taken good care of you, so I should thank him. Since he is a patient, you should bring some gifts. I will ask Peter to buy some gifts and send you over...”

“No!”

“There’s no need for that. I’m just going to check on him. I don’t need to bring him gifts.”

Cedric smiled. “Alright then. Go home early. I will leave the hospital after I recover. You should take care of yourself for the next few days.”

“No problem. I’ll come over later.” Isabella smiled gently.

Isabella walked out of the private hospital and sighed as she looked in the direction of the hospital in the city.

Although she didn’t want to talk to Joseph in her heart, she still lied to Cedric just now. She was going to visit Joseph.

She was a bit evil and selfish in her heart. She could lie so easily and smoothly.

In front of Joseph, who was so irritable, Isabella had to give up on many principles.

“Forget it, I’ll go clear the air with him. I’ll break up with him peacefully.”

Joseph’s heart was soft. He would listen to her if she spoke nicely.

Isabella thought through everything and got on the bus to the city hospital.

In the VIP ward on the top floor...

Dozens of bodyguards in black surrounded the door. If Gerry was not standing in the middle of them, Isabella would not have the guts to go over.

“Did you send more bodyguards over because you were injured? How did Joseph get hurt?” Isabella asked Gerry.

“Miss Isabella, you can ask him in person.”

Gerry opened the door and asked Isabella to go in. Isabella nodded resignedly and walked in.

Gerry shut the door, and Isabella shivered.

Why did she feel that the bodyguards looked at her with strange eyes today?

“Miss Isabella, you are finally here.”

William walked over and said respectfully, “I’ll leave you. Please speak nicely with Mr. Joseph.”

“Alright.”

Although Isabella said to William, she had been looking at Joseph.

One of his legs was hanging, and his face was swollen. One of his eyes was bruised. There was anger and hostility in his eyes. His eyes gave Isabella goosebumps.

If it wasn’t for the familiar eyes, Isabella would have recognized the bruised man in front of her.

What happened today? So many people were injured and had bruised faces.

After William left, only she and Joseph were left in the huge ward.

Isabella cleared her throat and pretended to be calm. “Didn’t you say there was a kitchen? The food for the soup is all inside the kitchen, right? I’ll go cook soup for you now.”

“Why didn’t you ask me why I was injured?”

Joseph said coldly, “You owe me so much. Don’t you care about me when you see me injured?”

Alright, she did owe Joseph a lot of favors.

“How did you get injured?” Isabella asked a little unnaturally.

Joseph snorted coldly.

“What a hypocritical woman.”

Isabella was speechless. She said in a low voice, “I didn’t ask, and you said that I don’t care about you. Now that I’ve asked you, you said that I was hypocritical!”

Then, she walked into the kitchen and shouted, “Never mind! What soup do you want? Do you want salty soup or sweet soup?”

Joseph got off the bed and limped into the kitchen like a spoiled child. “I want the soup that you cooked for my grandpa.”
