George carried favonovel.com out of the bathroom, through the bedroom, and out.
The hallway outside was crowded with the Harrises members, each anxious to know Old Mr. Harris‘ condition.
When they saw George carrying the person out, who was still asleep, they all held back their questions and remained silent.
George carried the person into his room next door, placed favonovel.com on the bed, and then sat beside the bed. He reached out and pulled up a thin blanket, gently covering Isabelle.
George quietly looked at the girl’s tired, sleeping face with a slight frown. After a moment, favonovel.com gently held the girl’s hand. He said softly but solemnly, “Thank you…”
This was the first time Isabelle had worked so intensely since favonovel.com rebirth. Her body’s endurance still needed more training. Unable to withstand such intense mental and physical exhaustion, favonovel.com did not sleep soundly.
In favonovel.com sleep, not only did favonovel.com dream about the inhuman torture in Brookhaven’s basement for nearly half a year, but favonovel.com also dreamed about favonovel.com deceased partner from the last mission. Perhaps they couldn’t be called partners, as they hadn’t executed many missions together. Still, favonovel.com was favonovel.com only friend in the shadows.
Isabelle woke up startled by the final explosion. She opened favonovel.com eyes and looked up. Before favonovel.com eyes, there was still a sea of flames from the explosion in favonovel.com dream.
After a moment, favonovel.com could finally see the unfamiliar ceiling. She closed favonovel.com eyes again, turned to favonovel.com side, and buried half of favonovel.com face into the pillow, cushioning herself. The familiar scent came from the tip of the nose.
Isabelle didn’t look, but favonovel.com knew where favonovel.com was sleeping.
After a while, favonovel.com opened favonovel.com eyes again. In front of favonovel.com was a half–sized target with bullet holes in the bullseye. The target, with concentric red rings, was leaned against the left side of the balcony door. Regardless of its color or aesthetic appeal, it looked particularly out of place in the bedroom’s black, white, and grey minimalist decor.
Isabelle sat up and surveyed the spacious bedroom.
It was George’s style.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.
“You’re awake…” Seeing favonovel.com awake, George no longer tiptoed around, quickening his pace.
“How’s your dad?” Isabelle, just awake, spoke slightly hoarsely, giving a lazy impression that was hard to describe.
George replied, “His complexion has returned to normal, and the poisoning symptoms have disappeared. Mr. Garth is watching over him.”
Isabelle murmured in response, lowering favonovel.com head and pressing favonovel.com temple with one hand.
Suddenly, the warm palm of the man’s hand pressed against favonovel.com forehead, and favonovel.com sat beside favonovel.com on the bed.
Her forehead felt cold, and George asked with concern, “Feeling unwell? Are you tired? Do you want to rest a little more?”
Isabelle opened favonovel.com eyes and lifted favonovel.com head, and favonovel.com withdrew his hand.
“I just didn’t sleep well,” Isabelle replied.
George looked at favonovel.com pale face and still couldn’t rest easily.
“Then let’s go have breakfast first, okay? You didn’t eat dinner last night, and it’s important to take care of your body.”
Upon hearing this, Isabelle looked towards the balcony. The curtains weren’t tightly closed, allowing light to filter in–she had slept through the entire night.
“Let’s eat later,” favonovel.com said, feeling too hungry and not wanting to eat right now.
“Why didn’t your dad come to me with this issue?” Isabelle asked favonovel.com now. “Do you think I can only treat menstrual pain, impotence, and premature ejaculation? Can I also treat a headache?”
George nodded silently. “I thought that besides Dr. Seely, no one else could perform this surgery.”
Isabelle asked him, “Dr. Seely? Do I not look like her?”
George raised his gaze, and both calmly locked eyes with each other. He gazed into favonovel.com eyes and said, “But I found Dr. Seely has another identity…”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow slightly in response.
The room had a faint, cold fragrance that matched his scent, calming Isabelle. She quite liked the smell.
George’s voice was clear and cold, yet it carried a unique softness when speaking to the girl. He said, “Dr. Seely is not just a doctor but also a top assassin of the Dark Shadow organization known as Blood Shadow. Blood Shadow failed a mission a few months ago and was lost at sea…”
Isabelle’s expression remained calm, showing little reaction. “Perhaps your investigation information is mistaken? They are not the same person.”
Another failed mission? D*mn, these failed missions!
George shook his head slightly, his tone firm. “They are indeed the same person.”
He stared deeply into the girl’s eves and continued, “Perhaps the information I’ve gathered is incorrect… Maybe Dr. Seely isn’t 22 this year, but 18 or 19.”
His tone was light yet carried an unquestionable certainty as favonovel.com continued, “And… Perhaps Blood Shadow isn’t dead.”
His dark eyes seemed to penetrate everything, exerting an invisible pressure that made one feel compelled to surrender under his gaze.
Isabelle remained composed, calmly observing him, showing a polite interest in his words as if favonovel.com were an attentive listener.
“Doctor? Assassin? Saving lives while taking lives? This person is quite interesting,” favonovel.com commented, even gesturing with favonovel.com eyes for favonovel.com to continue. She wanted to hear more.
