The Billionaire’s Kick Ass Wife

Chapter 13 Call Me Dad

Their eyes locked for a moment. Isabella looked away first, and her thick lashes lowered halfway.

She was not stared down. It was just that gazing at Draxton while he looked at her was weird.

But Draxton believed that she had averted her eyes because she was scared.

“I expected you to be bolder.”

All of a sudden, his voice sounded, breaking the dead silence.

Isabella gave a start and didn’t know how to respond.

She was not talkative and was introverted, barely opening her mouth around people she didn’t know well

However, since the man was trying to strike up a conversation, she might as well shoot straight. Therefore, she said frankly, “Sorry.”

She did owe him an apology for taking advantage of him five years ago.

Draxton remained impassive and didn’t say anything. Isabella couldn’t tell whether he had accepted her apology or not.

She didn’t know what he was thinking and said nothing more.

They arrived at the hospital very soon. It was a private hospital owned by the Lockwood Group. The bright neon sign reading “Lockwood” was very conspicuous in the rain.

The man in charge of the hospital hurried out to receive them after being informed that Draxton was sending someone over in person.

Greyson Lockwood widened his eyes in surprise when he saw Draxton carrying a woman in his arms.

And when his eyes fell on the boy behind Draxton, his jaw dropped in shock.

He had heard that the woman had been found and she was with a boy.

Greyson gasped. He thought it must be that Draxton hated the woman so much that only maiming her once was not enough, so he decided to get her cured in the hospital for further torment.

“What are you waiting for?” Draxton asked coldly.

Greyson shuddered and was snapped out of the trance. He then shouted for help, “Get me a bed! Push her into the emergency room!”

Draxton felt speechless.

His face darkened, and he stared at Greyson with lowered eyes. “She just got burned.”

Greyson pulled up her pant leg.

The next second, he broke out in a cold sweat. “Just burned?

“My goodness! Mr. Lockwood used boiling water to torment this woman!
