Chapter 15 Other Options

The following morning, soon after Isabella’s dressing was changed, Greyson sent her breakfast.

When Isabella and Ricky thanked him, Greyson waved his hand in response. He knew how to be nice and friendly in a comfortable way without going overboard.

“Miss Thompson, I’ll leave you and Ricky to enjoy the food. Call me if you need anything,” he said with a grin

and then left.

Isabella’s expression turned pensive. Greyson was Draxton’s subordinate and was of high status. The fact that Greyson was so considerate to her and Ricky implied Draxton’s attitude toward them.

Halfway through the meal, Draxton showed up.

Isabella put down her fork and fixed her beautiful eyes on him.

The hospital gown she was wearing didn’t make her any less appealing.

There seemed to be something ethereal and pure about her temperament that made her beauty stunning but not at all aggressive.

She’d grown into a woman now but still looked like a girl.

Draxton gathered that her adoptive parents had abandoned her, and they had set her up and drugged her, which led to their unpleasant encounter five years ago.

After that, she met her birth parents, who wouldn’t take her in. Then, when she left Dawton City, her flight crashed.

Draxton wondered how such a weak and timid girl had survived all those hardships, given birth to Ricky, and managed to raise him.

It must have been so hard for her.

It was an undeniable fact that he had been offended five years ago.

However, she hadn’t meant it to happen because she was the victim too.

During the five years of searching for her, Draxton had been infuriated at first but gradually calmed down. The passage of time had pacified him better than anything and anyone.

His wrath and the impulse to kill her had ebbed away in the past five years, which made it possible for him to consider this matter in a more reasonable way.

After the itch to kill her subsided, he just wanted to find her and properly deal with her to put an end to this

matter.

Of course, if she wouldn’t play nice, he would consider doing away with her.
