Kander kept his gaze locked on Isabel as she leaned over, her rosy lips just slightly parted, her delicate teeth carefully biting off the thread. Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes sparkled with a soft shimmer, reflecting the shyness and innocence of spring. This captivating sight stirred something primal within him, his gaze darkening as he looked at her with the hunger of someone eyeing the most irresistible delicacy.

Just a bit more, and Xander felt he might lose control, allowing the untamed urge within him to take over, ready to claim the tempting prize before him.

He swallowed hard. His Adam's apple bobbed and his lips parted slightly as he fought to keep his

composure.

On Isabel's side, her heart was racing.

Even though it was just a simple act of biting the thread, being this close to him, leaning over his pants no less, sent her thoughts spinning back to that rainy night and memories she did not need to relive. Her pulse quickened, and her face felt like it was on fire.

After finishing her words, Isabel suddenly stood up but felt a tightness in her chest, forcing her to dry heave.

"Ugh" She clutched her chest, her face a bit pale, beads of sweat gathering on her smooth forehead.

After patting her chest for a moment, Isabel checked her pulse.

Xander kept his lips pressed tightly together, his expression tense as he waited for her to say something.

The room went completely silent, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Even Samuel, who was peeking through the door, barely dared to breathe, aware of how much importance everyone placed on Isabel.

After a few seconds, Isabel lowered her hand from her wrist, giving Xander, who was anxiously watching, a reassuring look "My stomach has always been sensitive. It's not something that's going to improve in a couple of days. "Is it serious? Xander's brow furrowed deeply.

"There's an old saying, stomach pain isn't a disease, but it can feel life-threatening when it flares up. It'll pass soon; it's probably just from the sudden cold weather," she said, stepping back from his embrace.
