Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 22

“She doesn't deserve it.” Adrian took a bottle of ice-cold water from the fridge and chugged it down, trying to quell the raging frustration inside him.

He wanted to see just how long she could keep this up.

Isabel had pre-booked a car service.

After leaving Halcyon Hills Residence, she made a call, and the car arrived shortly.

She first went to Dominion Military Hospital to have Dr. Lawson check her right hand.

After an examination, Dr. Lawson said, “If you want it to heal completely, you need to be very careful. If you just want it to be functional, then do whatever you want.”

It wasn't that Isabel was disobedient.

It was just that sometimes, things were beyond her control.

But she didn't argue, simply nodding in agreement. “I will be extremely careful.”

Dr. Lawson also treated the cut on her left hand.

After leaving the hospital, she returned to Evergreen Ridge Estate.

She made herself a simple meal and went back to her reading.

Her phone remained on silent.

But when she woke up in the morning, there were no new messages or missed calls.

Just as she'd said, no one at Halcyon Hills Residence was going to starve without her.

Besides, Selena was there now.

She could easily placate both father and son in minutes.

Isabel was happy to have the peace and quiet.

When she arrived at the lab after breakfast, Dylan told her that a Ph.D. graduate who had been studying abroad was joining their team.

“Which superstar is it?”

“No idea,” Dylan said. “It was a last-minute notice. We'll find out when we meet them.”

Isabel didn't think much of it. The lab could always use fresh talent.

She put her bag away and went to the break room.
