My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 662

Alex White let out a cold, dismissive laugh.

Isabella Austin pressed her lips together, her voice gentle as she said, “Your faces look… You should both clean up and treat those wounds, okay?”

Benjamin Gomez replied evenly, “It’s nothing. Just a scratch.”

Alex White’s tone was sharp. “Get the gear loaded.”

Emily Blair raised an eyebrow.

Well, here we go again. Looks like they’re about to start another round.

Isabella frowned, scolding in a hushed voice, “Alex, don’t talk like that.”

Alex looked even more annoyed. “And you’re taking his side now?”

A faint smile tugged at Benjamin’s lips, which only seemed to rile Alex up more.

Isabella quickly tried to smooth things over. “No, I’m not taking sides! I just want you both to put some ointment on those cuts. Please, don’t start fighting again.”

Benjamin’s gaze lingered on Isabella. “Isabella, why don’t you come with me? It’ll be easier with your help.”

The words had barely left his mouth before Alex gritted his teeth. “Feeling brave again, are you?”

Benjamin shot him a cold look. “If you want another round, I’m right here.”

“Daddy! Daddy!”

Before Emily Blair could react, a tiny figure darted past her and threw herself at Benjamin, wrapping small arms tightly around his leg and bursting into tears. “Daddy, you got hurt! Someone hit you!”

Emily’s brows shot up.

Wait, hadn’t she left Ashley at the nurse’s station just a moment ago?

She glanced back and saw the nurse—Emily, as well—standing a short distance away, hands raised in helpless apology.

Emily Blair rubbed her forehead.
