After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 She Found Miracle Healer

"Why are you looking into this?"

"Don't you think she was acting strange just now?" Xander asked.

Samuel thought about Isabel's behavior earlier. Honestly, it was pretty creepy. Plus, the intense, scary vibe she gave off felt a lot like how Xander got when he was angry. But why would Isabel's odd behavior matter to Xander?

As Samuel was still wondering about this, Xander got a call back from his assistant.

"Did you find anything?"

That was quick.

"It's not about the Zimmermans. We've found the driver who hit Mr. Samuel a few years ago."

Xander's expression turned serious. "Get them here!"

"Got it."

Meanwhile, Isabel rushed into the hospital. She burst into the room and saw her brother, Reggie. lying in bed, looking pale and weak.

Colin had told her over the phone that her brother's ribs were broken, but seeing him now, it's obvious things were worse than she thought. "Isa, w-what are you doing here?" Reggie looks panicked and worried when he spots Isabel.

He didn't want Isabel to see him like this, afraid she'd worry and blame herself.

Isabel could read all these mixed emotions on Reggie's face.

Even in this state, he was still thinking about her.

Feeling overwhelmed, Isabel's eyes welled up with tears. She rushed to Reg's side and said, "Reg, I'm so sorry. It's my fault you're like this."

In her past life, she was an orphan and never knew the warmth of family. This time, it felt like fate was making up for it by giving her such an amazing brother.

"Isa, don't cry. I'm okay. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Reggie said gently, talking to her like he would to a child, while softly patting her back.

The more he comforted her, the harder it was for Isabel to hold back her tears.

He said he was okay, but with broken ribs, it wasn't something that'd heal in just a few days. Even if she took care of him herself, it wouldn't be that quick to fully recover.
