Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Care Between Pa Isabella had a touch of OCD. She felt anxious and hesitant before treating Seth.

However, when she noticed the position of the fishbone, she couldn’t bear to leave it there.

Seth deeply regretted asking for her help. No matter what he said now, he couldn’t convince her. He didn’t want to yell at her too much. It was a minor issue, and being too serious would ruin his composure.

She continued to move forward. “Mr. Shaffer, please open your mouth.”

“I already said there’s no need.”

Seth propped himself up with his hands, maintaining a reclined position, showing his avoidance. Isabella persisted, smiling and approaching with tweezers. However, Seth saw her kind eyes as threatening.

G·

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients After saying this, he looked at Isabella and Seth with a strange expression.

Seth was reclining, showing resistance. Meanwhile, Isabella was pressing forward, almost pushing him down. Their position seemed a bit inappropriate.

Seth sat up straight with a cold expression, adjusting his clothes unhappily.

Archie Morris entered the room with a smile. When he saw the opened medical equipment, he glanced at Isabella and then at Seth.

“Is it this gentleman who got choked by a fishbone?”

Isabella shook her head.

Archie was stunned. “Then who is it?”

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients Isabella replied, “Both of us.”

Archie chuckled. “So, it’s mutual care between patients.”

Isabella and Seth were left speechless.

Seth glanced at the clock on the wall. They had been fussing for almost 15 minutes.

Isabella noticed his expression and wisely reminded the doctor, “You should check on him first.”

The doctor raised an eyebrow. “Okay.”

The difference between professionals and amateurs was evident. As soon as he put on gloves and turned on the flashlight, a sense of security instantly spread like a beam of light.

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients Seth tilted his head back. While the doctor removed the fishbone, he glanced at isabella. His eyes were clear, showing disdain.

Seth cleared his throat and coldly thanked the doctor. When he stood up, he noticed

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients Isabella’s movement.

He originally wanted to go downstairs directly, but now he suddenly didn’t want to leave.

He put one hand in his pocket and gestured towards the couch with his lips. “Sit.”

Isabella was sensitive, and her first reaction was that this guy couldn’t possibly be this friendly.

She sat down on the couch nervously but didn’t open her mouth immediately. Instead, she looked at Seth.

“Mr. Shaffer, aren’t you going back first?”

Seth slightly lifted his chin. “There’s no rush.”

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients Isabella gritted her teeth, looked around, and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in pain.

Archie switched to another pair of tweezers, still maintaining a smile. “Come, open your mouth.”

Isabella turned to the side to avoid Seth’s gaze and reluctantly opened her mouth.

“Ah…”

Her voice was loud, but the arc of her mouth opening was not large.

Just as Archie was about to remind her, Seth stepped forward and took a look.

“Heh, cavities.”

Isabella was speechless.

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients I knew he was up to no good.

She frowned and turned her body again, not letting Seth see.

Archie was helpless. “Open your mouth wide.”

“Ah…”

Archie shone the flashlight inside, scanning left and right, his eyebrows gradually furrowing.

“Don’t move.”

She jerked back, grabbing Archie’s hand.

Chapter 266 Care Between Patients Archie had an indifferent expression. “I’ve already located it. It’s not a major issue.”

it Isabella thought to herself, You’re lying. If it’s not a major issue, why does it hurt?

Seth stood by, noticing Isabella grabbing Archie’s hand, and couldn’t help but frown.

“What’s the hold-up? It’s just a fishbone. Let go.”

Isabella sniffled, first releasing Archie but still shifting aside. She was haunted by pain from just a moment ago.

“This won’t work.” Archie pondered for a moment, then turned to Seth nearby. “Sir, could you please come over and assist me in restraining this young lady?”

Seth raised an eyebrow.
