However, before he could lay a hand on her, Isabella swiftly caught his wrist. In the next moment, he let out a pained scream. “Ah! Go easy! My arm feels like it’s going to snap!”
The sight of Isabella overpowering the man left everyone in shock. Considering her slender frame, no one expected her to handle a man in this way.
Aidyn and Sherlyn were equally stunned, but soon, admiration started to shine in their eyes. Isabella was absolutely incredible.
“Are you going to keep treating people this way in the future?” Isabella asked, her voice as cold as ice.
“N-no, I won’t,” the man stammered, now genuinely frightened. He never imagined a woman could be this strong. He was the type who preyed on the weak but crumbled in the face of strength.
Isabella released her hold on his wrist, causing the man to nearly collapse onto the floor.
Isabella gave a firm command. “Apologize right now.”
The man had no choice but to bow his head. “I’m sorry. I was just in a bad mood. I shouldn’t have acted so rudely.”
Sherlyn was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.
“Alright. Just don’t let it happen again,” she replied. “Now, get out!” Isabella ordered firmly.
The man didn’t hesitate and quickly fled the room.
Seeing that Aidyn wasn’t in great shape, Isabella called a nurse and arranged for him to be moved to a VIP single ward.
The nurse sighed softly. “He’ll surely receive better care in a single ward, but they couldn’t afford it before. At least now he can recover in a peaceful environment.”
Ten minutes later, Aidyn was transferred to the new room.
Before Sherlyn and Aidyn even had time to fully comprehend what was happening, they were following the nurse into an opulent room.
As they took in the luxurious surroundings, Sherlyn shook her head over and over. “We can’t afford this. Let’s return to our old room,” she said.
Isabella felt sorry for the couple, and her resentment toward Eliza deepened. If these were her parents, she would do everything in her power to care for them.
“It’s alright. I’m here to help you both,” Isabella reassured the couple in a soft, comforting voice.
Seeing Isabella’s elegant dress and hearing her soft, kind voice, Sherlyn felt increasingly unworthy of her kind gestures. “Young lady, you’re very kind, but this room is far too costly. We really can’t afford to stay here,” she said with a heavy heart.
“That’s right. I’ll be fine anywhere,” Aidyn agreed, nodding in support.
Both of them were adamant about leaving the room. Isabella cast a quick glance at the nurse, giving her a silent cue, and the nurse wisely took her leave.
After leaving, the nurse bumped into a colleague and couldn’t resist sharing what had just transpired. She sighed. “It looks like the patient is finally going to get the surgery he needs.”
“Are you saying a beautiful young woman got them moved into a single room?” her colleague asked with interest.
“Yes, that’s exactly what happened.”
Her colleague responded with a displeased snort, her expression darkening.
The nurse was puzzled and asked, “Why are you reacting this way? Isn’t this a good thing?”
“You’ve been tricked; that woman isn’t as nice as you think,” the colleague said with a look of disgust. Seeing the confusion on the nurse’s face, she pulled out her phone and showed her a news article. “I knew you hadn’t seen what’s going around online. Take a look. Now you see it, don’t you? That woman is actually their daughter. It’s her duty to take care of them!”
After the nurse read the news, she felt very confused. According to her observation, the couple clearly had no connection to the woman! Yet, her colleague was buzzing with excitement, clutching her phone like it held the secrets of the universe. “Yes, she’s here. You can come now,” she chirped into the phone, her voice brimming with urgency.
Inside the VIP ward, Sherlyn and Aidyn looked at Isabella gratefully.
“Miss, thank you so much for standing up for us,” Aidyn began. “But this ward… it really isn’t necessary.”
Isabella regarded them quietly. “Do you know who I am?” Although the couple clearly lacked the means financially, Isabella could just tell that they were honest and sincere people—and such qualities were rare these days. Despite growing up in a poor home, Eliza still acted like a little princess, a testament to the deep love her parents had for her.
It was a cruel twist of fate that Eliza seemed blind to the sacrifices they made for her.
As the couple’s eyes lingered on Isabella, recognition slowly dawned, their expressions shifting from confusion to surprise.
“You’re Miss Patton!” Sherlyn gasped, her voice trembling with a mix of awe and disbelief.
“That’s right,” Isabella confirmed, offering them a warm, gentle smile. “When my family and I heard about your situation, we felt very sympathetic. We’ve decided to cover all your medical expenses. So please, just focus on resting and preparing for the surgery. There’s no need to worry about anything else.”
To the couple, it was as though God had granted them a miracle. Shock rippled through the two, and for a moment, they were both too stunned to speak.
Finally, Aidyn found his voice. “There’s no need for such a fancy ward,” he insisted, shaking his head with determination. “We are grateful for your help with the medical expenses, but I won’t take your money without giving something in return. Once I’m well, I’ll work hard to pay you back!”
Isabella’s expression softened. “There’s no need to repay us. Years ago, my mother and your wife gave birth in the same place. That mix-up intertwined the destinies of our three families in a way that can’t be undone. To sum things up, consider this fate’s way of bringing things full circle. Just focus on getting better, okay?”
The couple looked at her, tears welling up in their eyes. The daughter they had nurtured for so many years had abandoned them, yet here was Isabella—a complete stranger—offering kindness beyond measure.
How ironic was that?
“Your family, the Patton, are truly remarkable people,” Aidyn said, his voice thick with emotion. “I remember how your father tried to give me money back then, but I refused. I never blamed anyone for what happened. But now, with you coming to help us in our time of need, your kindness is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life.”
“Mr. Webb, let’s not dwell on the past,” Isabella gently urged, noticing his fatigue. “You’re not in good health right now. Please, lie down and rest. I’ll go get you something to eat.” She glanced at the clock—it was nearing lunchtime.
Without another word, Isabella slipped out of the room to buy the couple some food.
Aidyn climbed into bed, his voice a gentle murmur as he spoke to Sherlyn. “She’s such a kind, genuine person.”
“Yes,” Sherlyn nodded, her eyes still red and swollen from crying. “Their whole family is like that—kindhearted, every one of them. Thank goodness Mr. Patton found his daughter in time. With such a precious child in our care, I’m not sure we could have given her everything she deserves.”
They both felt a deep sense of gratitude, knowing that Glenn’s timely visit back then had made all the difference.
Just then, the door swung open, and a reporter barged in, camera in hand, lens glaring at them.
The sudden intrusion left them stunned, their confusion evident.
“Who are you?” Aidyn asked, his brow furrowed.
“Hello, I’m with Stars Daily,” the reporter announced, flashing a quick smile. “We got word that Isabella visited you today. Is that true?”
“Yes, that’s right,” Aidyn confirmed, still trying to make sense of the situation.
The reporter’s smile widened, a hint of satisfaction gleaming in his eyes. “Seems our report worked.”
Aidyn blinked, perplexed. “What do you mean?”
“Well,” the reporter began, his tone laced with righteous fervor, “since Isabella parted ways with the Chapman family, she hasn’t visited once. She’s been entirely preoccupied with her ambitions, trying to marry into wealth. If it weren’t for our article, she wouldn’t have come to see you this time either.”
Aidyn’s confusion deepened, and his voice wavered as he spoke. “But… she doesn’t owe us that.”
“How could she not?” The reporter frowned, his expression turning stern. “She’s your daughter, isn’t she? As her parents, don’t you believe you’re worthy of her love and attention? Even though the Chapman family raised her, that place was never truly her home. The blood in her veins is still yours!”
The words struck like lightning, leaving Aidyn and Sherlyn stunned.
They hadn’t been keeping up with the news, completely unaware of the storm brewing.
But now, the pieces began to fall into place. Had the relentless pressure from the headlines driven Isabella to help them out?
A knot of unease twisted in Aidyn’s stomach. “You’re all mistaken. Isabella isn’t my daughter.”
The reporter, sensing Aidyn’s discomfort, thought he was being weak. “How could you be so self-deprecating? It’s precisely because of this attitude that Isabella became so audacious. Even after your cancer diagnosis, she still didn’t bother to see you!”
Aidyn’s brows furrowed tightly. “You’re mistaken. She really isn’t my daughter.”
But the reporter wasn’t having it. His eyes narrowed with disdain for Aidyn because he believed that Isabella’s behavior was entirely due to Aidyn’s weakness. He considered himself a crusader for the truth and justice.
“Tell her to come here. Sometimes those involved can’t see the situation clearly, but outsiders can. Let us confront Isabella and make her face the consequences of her actions!”
“You’re really wrong.” Aidyn’s patience frayed as his expression turned icy. He had tried to explain, to reason with the reporter, but he refused to listen. The chill in Aidyn’s voice cut through the air like a blade. “Please leave.”
