309 My Spleen Is Ruptured
Isabella looked at Joseph in surprise. “Your leg is broken. Why do you come downstairs?”
“It’s not broken. The injuries are just worse.”
Joseph went straight to the point. “After you cook the porridge, come back with me to see grandpa. Grandpa is very worried about you and has lost his appetite for a few days.”
Isabella said after a while, “I won’t go back. You can tell grandpa that I miss him very much and ask him to eat properly.”
“What do you mean by that?”
After Joseph finished shouting, he saw Isabella glare at him and felt that it was not very appropriate. Then he said softly, “I said that to comfort Stella that day in the hospital. She wanted to commit suicide, and I couldn’t ignore her. After all, she is my best friend, so don’t be jealous. I already said that she and I won’t be lovers. It is impossible.”
Isabella smiled helplessly. “Maybe I would be moved if you said something like that before ... but...”
“But?” Joseph asked vigilantly.
But nobody had cared about Isabella since she was a child. She just wanted to survive and not lose her life.
.....
If Miss Ghost and Cedric didn’t show up that night, and if Isabella wasn’t lucky enough, she might have been ruined and tortured by that group of men...
People only lived once. At that time, Joseph chose to give Isabella up, and all explanations were weak. Isabella was lucky enough. That was why she could survive unscathed. It was not because of Joseph!
Isabella lowered her eyes. She didn’t want to recall those disappointing moments.
“Joseph...”
Isabella turned around and held Joseph’s arm. She hugged him gently and sighed.
Joseph trembled, reached out, and hugged Isabella. Then Joseph seemed to think of something and hurriedly pushed her away. “Isabella, don’t play the victim. Nothing good will happened every time you do that. Let me ask you again, are you going back to the manor to see grandpa today?”
Isabella thought about it and shook her head firmly. However, she did not dare to look up at Joseph. “Joseph, we’re not right for each other. I’ll leave after making you some porridge. I’ll return the favor that you took care of me before.”
“What did you say?”
Joseph was furious. “You want to leave? You lived in my house free for a month, and now everyone relies on you. Do you want to leave right now? How dare you?”
Isabella pursed her lips and then grabbed Joseph’s sleeve. Joseph was slightly agitated, and Isabella said seriously, “Joseph, it doesn’t matter if you say I’m pretentious or sensitive. Since I’m not your only beloved, don’t waste any more time on me. You want a good wife, while I want a unique man.”
Joseph saw how determined Isabella was. Then his face turned gloomy. However, he didn’t lose his temper and teased, “Great ... Isabella, you do learn some tricks after running out for two days. Do you want to leave? It’s impossible!”
After that, Joseph shook off Isabella’s hand and returned to his room with his cane. He roared, “Hurry to cook for me! I’m hungry.”
Isabella chased after him. “Joseph, what do you mean by that? Don’t tell me you want to limit my freedom.”
Joseph sat next to the bed and smiled evilly, “In this world, only I can dump you. Do you want to dump me? No way!”
Joseph was so moody, and Isabella got furious. “You are such a scoundrel! I was very serious just now. I am not playing around with you!”
Then, Isabella turned around to take the phone from her bag. “Forget it. I’ll get Cedric to pick me up.”
Joseph immediately rushed over and hugged her from behind. “No way! If you dare to ask Cedric to come, I will make him unable to return.”
“You bastard!” Isabella struggled.
“Anyway, you have recognized me as a bastard.” Joseph roared, “I don’t mind it if I become a bit more of a bastard.”
Isabella was really mad. She was unable to move at all since Joseph held her so tightly. Then Isabella pushed her elbow out and hit Joseph. Joseph felt pain, covered his ribs, and bent down.
Isabella felt Joseph let go and instantly picked up her bag to run away. Suddenly, she heard Joseph groan in pain, “Isabella, you are so ruthless. I am injured...”
Then Joseph rolled on the ground in pain.
Isabella was shocked. She was about to open the door and run away. When she saw Joseph’s pained expression, he hesitated for a moment. Then Isabella turned around and squatted in front of him. Isabella said anxiously, “I’m sorry, Joseph. I didn’t do it on purpose. Where did I hit you? Tell me!”
“Maybe my spleen is ruptured.”
Joseph said painfully, “Isabella, come to see if I’m going to die.”
“Your spleen is ruptured?”
Isabella wanted to take off Joseph’s clothes to have a look. After she heard that, Isabella said, “Well, we have to go find a doctor immediately.”
Just as Isabella was about to stand up, she suddenly felt the world turned upside down. Joseph directly struck Isabella down.
Joseph used his injured leg to press down on Isabella’s leg. He held her shoulders tightly and looked down at her. He said evilly, “You want to run? Do you want to find Cedric? Isabella, no way! Tomorrow I will bring you to the Civil Affairs Bureau. You will be mine anyway.”
“You pretended to be injured?”
Isabella glared at Joseph and struggled to get rid of his arms. Joseph got pissed off and leaned over to kiss her.
Isabella moaned and trembled.
That wasn’t a kiss at all. Joseph directly bit her!
Isabella couldn’t move, and she started to kick and scratch him in anger.
Joseph had a leg injury and it wasn’t very convenient. Even though he was tall, he couldn’t fight against Isabella and let go of her a little.
Isabella directly kicked Joseph, threw him off, and then got up to escape...
Ten seconds later, Isabella was caught by the bodyguards outside the door. Isabella came back to the room. Her phone was also found and placed on the table.
Joseph sat by the bed with his legs crossed. He laughed out loud. “Why don’t you escape?”
Isabella pursed her lips. “Joseph, what do you want to do? You even asked to the bodyguards catch me. Are you a man?”
“You want to know if I am a man. Why not now? Although I am injured, it doesn’t matter. I’m still a man and can do it.”
