Blizzard, First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 459

When Isabel got to the hospital, she first went to give Daniel his medicine, then headed to Adrian's room.

He was already able to sit up, and Henry was feeding him some broth.

"Isabel, you're here." Henry immediately stood up to give her his seat. "You look terrible. Did you pull an all-nighter?"

Isabel nodded. "Daniel's condition is pretty critical."

She then turned to Adrian. "But don't you worry, he should be out of danger."

As she spoke, she reached out and took his wrist.

"Your heart rate is still a little slow, but there's nothing to worry about. As long as you rest and don't get injured again, you'll recover completely."

"I'm not going to give you any medication for now. If you feel any discomfort at all, you have to tell me, and I'll treat you with specific medicine or acupuncture."

After listening to everything she had to say, Adrian's only response was, "I've called my lawyer. He's on his way. Just wait here, sign the papers, and you can get the divorce certificate today."

Henry immediately made himself scarce.

Adrian fell silent after speaking. His right arm was immobile, and his left hand had an IV in it.

He couldn't eat without someone to feed him.

But he could also just not eat.

After a moment of silence, Isabel walked closer, picked up the bowl, and scooped up a spoonful of porridge, bringing it to his lips.

Adrian turned his head away. "Don't pity me. I deserve this."

Isabel pursed her lips. "Just eat first. We can talk after you've eaten."

Adrian didn't open his mouth.

Isabel didn't try to feed him again.

The room fell silent once more.

The silence was broken by the arrival of the lawyer and an official from the court.

The lawyer gave Adrian a slight nod and took out the prepared divorce agreement.

Their assets had already been divided with the memorial hall settlement, so this divorce agreement was very simple.

It was designed to facilitate a pre-trial mediation and expedite the divorce certificate.

"If everything looks in order, you can sign here."

Adrian didn't even look at it. He signed his name and pushed it toward Isabel.

He had signed with his left hand, and some blood had backed up into the IV tube.

"I'm just cooperating with you. Weren't you the one who wanted the divorce?"

"Then you'll just have to wait until I say so."

Adrian was speechless.

He could never figure Isabel out. He tried so hard, but she always managed to do something completely beyond his understanding.

"You're going to make me overthink things."

"Think whatever you want."

He didn't know what to say.

Henry listened through the crack in the door for a moment, decided he wasn't needed, and quietly slipped away.

***

Isabel hadn't slept all night. After confirming that Adrian's condition was stable, she lay down on the sofa.

"I'll get you another room."

"Don't," Isabel said. "It's a waste of resources. I'm just going to rest my eyes for a bit, then I have to go check on Daniel. His condition is too critical to be careless."
