After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 8 Isabel's Brother

Just as they were about to make contact, Isabel stopped, pulling away from Xander.

"Don't talk to me like you're giving orders. If you do it again, I might not be so nice to your brother next time. Not only get close to him but also make sure he's completely taken care of!" Isabel said with a calm and casual demeanor, crossing his arms. Samuel was furious.

"I don't need you to treat me anymore! Just get out!"

Isabel pulled out a prescription from her bag and handed it to Xander.

"This is the prescription I wrote for your brother. Have someone get the medicine from the herbal pharmacy tomorrow, but don't bring it back for decoction. If it's not done by a professional, it could affect the medicine's effectiveness. Just let the pharmacy handle it. And have someone make a set of silver needles. Your brother's leg needs needle therapy."

After that, Isabel headed upstairs and closed the door behind her.

Xander stood there, staring at the closed door, his mind still on the image of the girl pinning him down.

He was feeling a mix of lingering thoughts and disappointment.

"Are you okay, Xander?" Samuel asked, concerned.

Xander shook himself out of his thoughts and said, "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Are you really okay, or are you just saying that? If you were fine, why didn't you push her back earlier?" Samuel didn't buy it. He figured that since Xander always handled everything himself, he must be hiding something.

"Push back?" Xander frowned, puzzled. Why would I do that?

"Yeah! You usually have a cleanliness obsession with women. I remember there was a rich girl who threw herself at you at the office, and you had her thrown out immediately. So why didn't you move when Isabel had you pinned down earlier? There must be something wrong with you," Samuel said, eyeing Xander up and down as he spoke.

Maybe something really is wrong with me, Xander thought.
