Loveless Marriage

Chapter 106 A Visit From Television Reporter



Isabella raised her head, looking at the lunchbox in his hands, she said with a light smile, "Thank you, but I'm not hungry. A water should be okay."

She didn't have much of appetite during pregnancy, and with so many things happened in the past few days, she really couldn't eat anything. Now, she only hoped her father's operation could be successful. Frowning, Canon persuaded: "Miss Jones, you'll wear yourself out if you're still like this. It may also hurt the babies. Mr. Miller would be worried about you as well."

Isabella's smile immediately disappeared: "Don't mention him."

After a second, she said, "Leave it for me. I'll eat it later."

Canon then left after he placed the food on table. Then he took another lunchbox to the ward.

Not long after, Naomi also rushed to the hospital.

Isabella was startled. She looked at her with surprise: "Are you working today?"

"I took a half day off and came to see you." Naomi laughed. Glancing at the ward, she asked with concern: "Have you all made the arrangements?"

Isabella drank some warm water and nodded, "Yeah, now just wait for the surgery."

Seeing that Isabella didn't look so well, Naomi consoled her in a low voice: "It will be fine, don't worry. You should have a rest first, and leave it to me."

"Thank you, Naomi." Isabella forced a smile and softly replied: "But I'm not in the mood to sleep right now."

Naomi looked at her for a while, then pulled her into her arms, persuading her: "There are still some time before the surgery starts. Don't push yourself too hard. If you were sick, your mom would have to take care of two people at the same time. Do you want that happen?"

Looking at Naomi for a few seconds, Isabella lost in thought.

Knowing what she was thinking about, Naomi immediately said, "If you can't fall asleep, then at least you should lie down for a while. Do you know how bad you look now? If those doctors knew you were pregnant now, they may get the nurses tie you up on bed. "

Unable to endure her nagging, Isabella smiled and begged, "Alright, I'll go lie down."

"Okay, hurry up." Naomi smiled gently.

Tristan's ward was a double room, so Isabella lied down on the empty bed beside her father. Touching her face that had become a lot thinner, Diana said: "Isabella, it's been hard on you. Rest a bit. Mom is here."

"I'm fine. If you're tired, get a place to rest. Tell me if you need anything." Isabella pulled up her quilt, and slowly closed her eyes.

Before long, the ward fell into its usual silence.

Afraid of disturbing the two, Diana left the ward and started to chat with Naomi.

Two hours later, Canon walked back quickly from outside. With a serious expression, he said: "Mrs. Jones, I'll have to ask you to leave for a moment. Journalists from the television came here, along with many angry people."

Hearing that, Diana's face turned pale as she anxiously confirmed, "Television?"

Naomi asked coldly, "How did they find here? Didn't the Mr. Yannick already tell the court not to make such report?"

There was already no one who didn't know about Tristan's getting in to the prison, but luckily his families weren't exposed. But now those journalists came so suddenly, Isabella would have no choice but to show up. Would things be more terrible?

Canon's face was also a bit ugly, while his tone still didn't change much, "It's still not clear how they found here. I have already contacted Mr. Yannick, and I'll stop them downstairs later. I'm just afraid that they may barge in, so you may better stay away from this for a moment."

After all, Tristan had already been charged of corruption and bribe-taking. Anyone related with him would probably be reviled by public.

So this was not the time to be capricious.

"But, Isabella!" Diana worried.

Right now, she didn't care about anything else but her daughter. She totally understood that public clamour can confound right and wrong.

Canon promised lightly, "You don't need to worry about her. I will get her protected."

After that, the ward door opened. Isabella stood there watching them expressionlessly, then she said: "Mom, find a place and have some rest with Naomi first."

Naomi immediately said seriously, "Then what about you? Do you know how much pressure of public opinion you'll have to endure if you get yourself exposed? It's too dangerous. You can't stay here." "Isabella, be obedient. Go with us. Just wait those people to leave." Diana advised her, feeling heartached.

Isabella didn't reply her. Instead, she ordered Canon: "Mr. Braun, please block them with Mr. Yannick at the gate. If they insist on barging in, then call the police."

Canon quickly left after nodding with a serious expression.

Then Isabella said warmly: "I've never thought of shrinking my responsibility, but I won't get myself into danger. Don't worry, I won't go out, but someone should stay here.

Naomi said: "Then do you think those people outside can be as rational and calm as you? If they get in here, you'll be dead."

"This is a hospital. Nothing is gonna happen." Isabella walked over and said, "Go quickly."

Looking at her resolutely, Diana angrily went back to the ward, "I won't leave my daughter alone here. I'll stay here."

Naomi raised his eyebrows, slowing saying: "Since you're not going out, then we don't need to hide anymore. If they get in here by any chance, I can help you." Isabella, "..."

She stopped trying to persuade them to hide, then started to wonder who gave away the address.

After knowing that her father's coma had been on news, she had asked the prison to keep it quiet, and she didn't tell anyone else either.

Canon said that other than the journalists, there were also many common people. How did they know about this?¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
