Isabella skillfully changed the subject, diverting the conversation. As she turned her head, Seth’s image flashed through her mind. He was probably the last person Victoria would want as a son-in-law. The thought was so absurd that she quickly dismissed it.

“It’s getting late, Mom, I have to go.”

Victoria sighed, clearly reluctant to let her go. After only a few words, she was on the verge of tears.

Isabella felt a pang in her heart. She hugged her mother, and they talked for a long time.

B Chapter 403 The Same Cup Of Tea Joey came down from upstairs, hurrying. “I had something to tell you earlier, but it wasn’t convenient with your mother around.”

Isabella guessed it had something to do with Victoria’s condition and paid close attention.

Joey took a note out of his white coat pocket and handed it to Isabella.

“Your mother had an episode recently. She would sit in the yard from morning till night, occasionally writing. This is what she wrote.”

Isabella took the note and read it.

‘August 1st, Ninna.’

What was this?

Chapter 403 The Same Cup Of Tea Joey saw her expression. “You don’t understand either?”

Isabella shook her head. “I’m not sure.”

“Normally, if she keeps writing these things, it must be related to her past. Maybe you can ask some of her relatives.” Joey suggested.

Isabella gave a bitter smile. She had never known what relatives were. She put away the note, gratefully looking at Joey. “Thank you. I’ll look into it when I get home.”

Joey adjusted his glasses, calm and gentle. “You’re welcome. It’s chilly in the morning You should wear a coat when you go out.”

Isabella was taken aback, suddenly feeling warmth in her heart from the unexpected concern. She tightened her coat and thanked Joey. After saying goodbye, she finally turned to leave.

Chapter 403 The Same Cup Of Tea Outside the sanatorium, a black MPV was still parked.

Seth had gotten out of the car at some point and was standing under the shade of a tree. Half of his body was bathed in the morning light, and the dappled sunlight cast golden angles on his shoulder.

As soon as Isabella stepped out, she saw this scene, and her breath hitched. Seth wás… really handsome.

As she was thinking this, Seth turned around, his face sullen. The shadow that had been bathed in the soft light instantly took on an annoyed air.

Before Isabella could get close, he clicked his tongue. “Two and a half hours.”

Isabella was helpless and quickly apologized. “My mom didn’t want me to leave, so we talked a bit longer.”

B Chapter 403 The Same Cup Of Tea Seth grunted, walked around the back of the car, and got in with a frown. Isabella shrugged and followed him into the car.

She glanced at Seth. He was seriously injured, and his face was always pale. He had gotten up early, and his lips were chapped.

Just as well, when she was leaving, Victoria had made her a cup of barley tea and insisted on putting it in her bag.

Without thinking, she took out the tea, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Seth. “Have some tea.”

Seth glanced at it and instinctively wanted to refuse.

Isabella said, “My mom made it. It’s very clean.” Her tone was sincere, with no hidden motives. She just noticed that his lips were cracked.

Chapter 403 The Same Cup Of Teal Seth hesitated for a moment, then took the cup. He swirled it gently, and the aroma of barley filled the air. He took a sip, and his lips were immediately moisturized.

He turned his head and saw Isabella licking her lips. He handed the cup back to her.

Isabella thought he had finished drinking and was about to put the cap back on.

Seth pulled his hand back and asked, “Aren’t you going to drink?”
