Chapter 282: Chapter 282: Divorce? Don’t even think about it!
The news of Isabella Weaver’s injury caused such a stir that it couldn’t be kept from Shiely Morrison.
Shiely was so anxious that she refused to stay in her hospital bed. Leaning on her secretary, she went to see Isabella Weaver.
In front of Isabella, she said nothing about Harry Hunter, but once she left the ward, she called Harry over for a good lecture.
Harry listened silently, not rebutting a single word.
After Shiely left, he returned to the ward, held Isabella’s hand, and softly asked her, "Isabella, do you regret marrying me?"
"No!"
"You’ve been hurt multiple times because of things on my side."
"It’s okay, I’m used to it. Even before marrying you, I was getting hurt every day. Don’t blame yourself."
"Shall we separate for a while?"
Isabella’s eyes widened, "What are you saying?"
"We’ll have a false divorce for a while, then you can..."
Isabella suddenly sat up, "I won’t divorce!"
The movement pulled on her wound, turning her face exceptionally pale and making a cold sweat break out on her forehead.
Harry hurriedly held her down, "Don’t move, your wound is bleeding again!"
"What did my mom say to you? You’re even talking about divorce."
Isabella felt clueless, especially aggrieved, tears streaming down her face. She wiped them away, but the more she wiped, the more tears came, and even her chest injury hurt terribly all of a sudden.
Harry panicked a little, hugging her and kissing away her tears, "Baby, I’m wrong! Don’t cry, we’re not divorcing! I was talking about a pretend divorce, not a real break-up. I just fear you getting hurt again; if it happens once more, I’ll go crazy!"
He was dizzy with shock when he learned about the assassination attempt on Isabella!
He had never felt like this before, as if his heart had been dug out and the whole world turned gray.
Isabella cried for a long while before she could speak, "Even a pretend divorce is not okay!"
How much she loved him!
Since they parted that morning, she had been thinking of him, all the time, even when she was shot her head was filled with thoughts of him.
Now he made her go crazy, and then wants a divorce?
Not a chance!
She threw herself against Harry’s shoulder, biting him hard, breaking the skin.
Harry didn’t move, letting her bite.
The harder she bit, the angrier she was, the more she cared about him.
He held her soft body with deep anguish, wishing he could drag Ryder Lewis up from Hell and kill him again!
He coddled his delicate wife for a long time, thinking she had calmed down when he saw her fall asleep in his arms.
Unexpectedly, for the next three days, Isabella didn’t say a word to him!
It was then that Harry realized he’d truly stepped into a minefield.
He felt wronged; the false divorce idea was Shiely Morrison’s. After understanding the general situation, she suggested that Harry publicly announce a divorce, to protect Isabella as much as possible.
Harry’s current image as a devoted husband was quite successful. Once news of a divorce broke out, both his image and Star Region Group would suffer a huge blow.
But he didn’t care about that; none of it mattered as much as Isabella’s safety.
However, Harry didn’t explain any of this to Isabella.
The hospital conditions were superb, and with Harry’s meticulous care, Isabella was discharged quickly.
Though still not speaking to Harry, she obediently went home with him.
Late at night, Harry felt something heavy on him in his sleep. Opening his eyes, he found Isabella straddled over him!
She was gritting her teeth and pulling down his pajama pants!
Harry snapped awake, both amused and exasperated, "Isabella, what are you doing? Planning to chop me up?"
