After the Secret Wedding: Rise of My Queen

Chapter 212 Isabel Refuses to Go to the Hospital

She couldn't go to the hospital; if she did, her secret would be exposed.

"I'm fine... really, it's much better now."

As soon as Isabel finished speaking, she saw Xander's gaze fall on her legs.

Her legs were covered in bloodstains, some still half-dried...

Okay, this probably wasn't very convincing.

"Actually, I... I was too embarrassed to say earlier."

In that brief moment, Isabel had a sudden flash of inspiration and came up with a clever excuse.

"I'm on my period."

Isabel blurted out, her face turning red.

She felt like her acting skills deserved an Oscar at this point. She could easily win all the best actress awards.

Isabel's act was so convincing, especially since the blood was coming from that area, that Xander was almost convinced.

"How could there be so much blood? I've never seen you bleed this much before."

Xander's words shocked both Isabel and Leo, who was driving.

So you know how much she bleeds every time?

How do you know that? Are you watching her closely or something?

A drop of sweat slid down Leo's forehead.

The moment Isabel mentioned her period, he knew he shouldn't be in the car.

But before he could even adjust to her words, his boss threw that comment out of nowhere.

It was more than he could handle.

"I-I forgot the date. I had a sweet craving this morning and had a cold drink at the dessert shop. It must've upset my stomach."

Xander's hand moved to her lower abdomen with a look of concern, his voice carrying a gentle reprimand. "You can't do that again. You need to take better care of yourself here."

His lifelong happiness depended on it.

And in the future, having children would depend on it, too.

Xander's words once again left Isabel and Leo struggling to keep their composure.

They couldn't understand why, whenever Xander spoke, his words seemed to take on a completely different meaning.

"Boss, we're at the hospital."

Xander turned to Isabel. "You should get it checked."
