Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 84

So, it could only be a regret.

Later, she would only pass by to look at it when she went to visit her grandmother's grave.

But every time she went, it was locked.

She had tried to contact the owner, hoping to buy it, but could never reach anyone.

She never imagined it belonged to old Mr. Reed.

Isabel's electric scooter couldn't make it all the way to the countryside. She first went home to drop it off, then bought a train ticket.

While waiting, she sent a message to Amanda to ask for time off.

After boarding the train and finding her seat, she received a call from Dylan.

"Where are you headed?"

Isabel told him the name of the town. "Look into your hand injury."

Dylan asked, "Why didn't you ask me to come with you?"

Isabel replied, "I wouldn't want to interrupt you and Selena while you're making your contribution to society."

“...”

She wasn't in a good mood and didn't feel like chatting much with him.

After hanging up, she closed her eyes to rest.

An hour and a half later, she arrived at Willowford Station.

She called a taxi to take her the rest of the way.

When she arrived, it was just evening. The sun was setting, casting a beautiful glow on the small mountain behind the wooden cabin.

It was a tranquil and comfortable scene.

As she approached the door, she saw an old man stoking a fire under a soot-blackened pot, simmering something inside.

"Old Mr. Reed."

Old Mr. Reed glanced at her. "Stewing some soup for you."

As she got closer, however, she smelled a strong medicinal scent.

"What kind of soup is this?"

Old Mr. Reed didn't answer, instead asking what she was doing here.

Isabel held out her right hand and explained the situation.

Old Mr. Reed reached out and gently squeezed it.

He must have hit a nerve, because she cried out in pain.
