Chapter 3 Nathan extended his hand toward Isabella . Come home with me . The scene faintly overlapped with their first meeting four years ago . Back then , it was in this very spot where a wounded Isabella , driven out of het home by her mother , had curled up in despair . Nathan Hill , like the dawn breaking through the darkness , appeared in her life .. Naïve and inexperienced , Isabella had been drawn to his kind and compassionate face . Without hesitation , she followed him . Sir , why me ? Though young , Isabella understood that nothing in the world came free . Nathan , burdened by his thoughts , took a moment before replying in a low voice , It has to be you . She didnt know that he had painstakingly sought her out , going to great lengths to approach her . In her innocence , she mistook him for a benefactor and believed she was just another of the many impoverished children he had helped . She trusted him so easily . 0001 12:06 Chapter 3 1998 Wouchers Sir , thank you for giving me a home . Im very hardworking l can cook , do laundry , sweep , and mop … I can do so many things . Nathan gave her a faint glance . Im not looking for a housekeeper . Then how can I repay you ? You really want to repay me ? Yes . Even a small kindness deserves a great return . Nathan smiled knowingly . Now , looking at Isabella curled up again , Nathan , who had spent four years with her , could easily deduce her reason for returning , to Rainbow Bridge . This was where they had first met . By instructing Ezekiel to bring her back here , wasnt she signaling her desire to return to the point before she met him ? A faint , bitter smile tugged at Nathans lips . Did you regret meeting me ? Isabella didnt respond . Her wounds , reopened after the chase , had soaked the chiffon dress on her back with blood . She was using all her strength to suppress the pain . 12.06 Chapter 3 218 Vouchers Nathan reached out to gently touch her head , but Isabella slightly tilted her head , avoiding his hand . He sighed almost inaudibly . Isabella , Ill make it up to you . At that moment , his phone rang . Picking up the call , he heard Moores fathers anxious voice . Nathan , you must come quickly . Victoria became agitated after learning about Isabellas disappearance . The doctor says her condition is relapsing . Please come and calm her down she only listens to you . Nathans expression turned grave as he ended the call , his worry for Victoria unmistakable in his eyes . Isabella , your Sis just had surgery and cant handle any stress . I need to go to the hospital to check on her . Stop causing trouble and go home with the assistant . Standing up , he instructed his assistant , Take my wife home . He didnt notice how Isabellas body had gone limp and pale , nor the way she seemed far from okay . Nathan drove off in his Rolls Royce Wraith . 12.06 Chapter 3 In less than half an hour , Nathan arrived at the hospital and entered Victorias ward . 288 Mouchers Nathan , does Isabella hate me for taking one of her kidneys ? Is that why she ran away ? Victoria threw herself into his arms , crying bitterly . Nathan patted her trembling back , carefully sidestepping the issue . Victoria , dont overthink it . You dont need to feel guilty . Does she hate you , too ? Hate that you married her but gave your love to her Sis ? A wave of irritation surged within Nathan . In a tone that felt less than genuine , he replied , Shes easily satisfied . Having the title of Mrs. Hill is enough for her she wont care about what shes lost . It must be because youve been spending too much time with me lately and neglecting her . Shes just acting out . Victorias tears fell like summer rain sudden and fleeting . Moores father , looking at his beautiful daughter , was filled with pain and anger . His voice carried none of its usual kindness . 12.06 Chapter 3 208 Wouchers Isabella is too inconsiderate . Victoria just barely survived , and now shes making a scene , scaring Victoria like this . How can she be so thoughtless ? Nathan cast a chilling glance at Moores father . Dont forget , she just had surgery herself . This is her first time acting out . Let her be . Moores father was momentarily taken aback , a flicker of guilt passing through his eyes before he awkwardly laughed it off . Shes physically strong ; shell be fine . Nathan shot him a sharp glare , silencing him instantly . Victoria clung to Nathans hand , her eyes red from crying . Nathan , havent you thought that three people in a relationship are one too many ? You took Isabellas kidney for me . Even if she doesnt say it , she must feel hurt . Why not divorce her ? You dont love her anyway . You love me . Marry me , and well make it up to her . Please ? Nathan subtly pushed her away . Victoria , Ive told you before , I wont divorce Isabella . Shes not well , and I have to take care of her for the rest of my life . This marriage isnt something I can give up on my own . It felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over Victoria s head . Sniffling , she said , Nathan , youve fought and triumphed in the ruthless business world . Surely youve 57.24 % 12.06 Chapter 3 288 Vouchers wronged countless people . Why , when it comes to Isabella , are you so insistent on keeping your promise ? Nathan replied , Business is business an eye for an eye . But Isabella … has never wronged me Victoria broke down in tears . Nathan , if I had known saving my life would cost me you , I wouldnt have taken Isabellas kidney . Nathan said , Victoria , the world is fair . You may have lost love , but you gained a second chance at life . And Isabella , though she lost a kidney , gained the title of Mrs. His face darkened as he left , defeated . Victoria sobbed into her hands . Its not fair . None of it is fair… How can I live without you ? Moores father quickly comforted her . Oh , my sweet girl , dont cry . Seeing you upset breaks my heart . Dont worry Ill talk to Isabella . Ill make her let Nathan go . Victoria stopped crying , nodding slightly . Youre right , Dad . Nathan values integrity and wont break his word to Isabella . But if we can make Isabella give up on him willingly… Yes , yes . Ill figure something out .
