309 My Spleen Is Ruptured
Isabella looked at Joseph in surprise. âYour leg is broken. Why do you come downstairs?â
âItâs not broken. The injuries are just worse.â
Joseph went straight to the point. âAfter 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.â
Isabella said after a while, âI wonât go back. You can tell grandpa that I miss him very much and ask him to eat properly.â
âWhat do you mean by that?â
After Joseph finished shouting, he saw Isabella glare at him and felt that it was not very appropriate. Then he said softly, âI said that to comfort Stella that day in the hospital. She wanted to commit suicide, and I couldnât ignore her. After all, she is my best friend, so donât be jealous. I already said that she and I wonât be lovers. It is impossible.â
Isabella smiled helplessly. âMaybe I would be moved if you said something like that before ... but...â
âBut?â 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 didnât show up that night, and if Isabella wasnât 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 didnât want to recall those disappointing moments.
âJoseph...â
Isabella turned around and held Josephâs 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. âIsabella, donât 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?â
Isabella thought about it and shook her head firmly. However, she did not dare to look up at Joseph. âJoseph, weâre not right for each other. Iâll leave after making you some porridge. Iâll return the favor that you took care of me before.â
âWhat did you say?â
Joseph was furious. âYou 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?â
Isabella pursed her lips and then grabbed Josephâs sleeve. Joseph was slightly agitated, and Isabella said seriously, âJoseph, it doesnât matter if you say Iâm pretentious or sensitive. Since Iâm not your only beloved, donât waste any more time on me. You want a good wife, while I want a unique man.â
Joseph saw how determined Isabella was. Then his face turned gloomy. However, he didnât lose his temper and teased, âGreat ... Isabella, you do learn some tricks after running out for two days. Do you want to leave? Itâs impossible!â
After that, Joseph shook off Isabellaâs hand and returned to his room with his cane. He roared, âHurry to cook for me! Iâm hungry.â
Isabella chased after him. âJoseph, what do you mean by that? Donât tell me you want to limit my freedom.â
Joseph sat next to the bed and smiled evilly, âIn this world, only I can dump you. Do you want to dump me? No way!â
Joseph was so moody, and Isabella got furious. âYou are such a scoundrel! I was very serious just now. I am not playing around with you!â
Then, Isabella turned around to take the phone from her bag. âForget it. Iâll get Cedric to pick me up.â
Joseph immediately rushed over and hugged her from behind. âNo way! If you dare to ask Cedric to come, I will make him unable to return.â
âYou bastard!â Isabella struggled.
âAnyway, you have recognized me as a bastard.â Joseph roared, âI donât mind it if I become a bit more of a bastard.â
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, âIsabella, you are so ruthless. I am injured...â
Then Joseph rolled on the ground in pain.
Isabella was shocked. She was about to open the door and run away. When she saw Josephâs pained expression, he hesitated for a moment. Then Isabella turned around and squatted in front of him. Isabella said anxiously, âIâm sorry, Joseph. I didnât do it on purpose. Where did I hit you? Tell me!â
âMaybe my spleen is ruptured.â
Joseph said painfully, âIsabella, come to see if Iâm going to die.â
âYour spleen is ruptured?â
Isabella wanted to take off Josephâs clothes to have a look. After she heard that, Isabella said, âWell, we have to go find a doctor immediately.â
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 Isabellaâs leg. He held her shoulders tightly and looked down at her. He said evilly, âYou 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.â
âYou pretended to be injured?â
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 wasnât a kiss at all. Joseph directly bit her!
Isabella couldnât move, and she started to kick and scratch him in anger.
Joseph had a leg injury and it wasnât very convenient. Even though he was tall, he couldnât 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. âWhy donât you escape?â
Isabella pursed her lips. âJoseph, what do you want to do? You even asked to the bodyguards catch me. Are you a man?â
âYou want to know if I am a man. Why not now? Although I am injured, it doesnât matter. Iâm still a man and can do it.â
