She spoke casually, brushing it off with a light–hearted remark.
Hearing this, Jack was shocked.
***
The street was bustling and beautiful. European–style buildings were visible everywhere.
Jack dragged his injured body along the outer edge of the street, with Isabelle walking on the inner side. He watched the passing vehicles while watching where Isabelle was stepping.
They had just come out of the hospital.
Jack was seriously injured. Fortunately, favonovel.com could still walk on both legs, but his shoulders were strained from being suspended from the ceiling. He used his less injured arm as a makeshift crutch for Isabelle. She held onto his arm, following his pace.
Although the two walked slowly, it was hard to notice that Isabelle couldn’t see.
A beautiful Ruemanian medieval carriage grazed past Jack, who was injured and had difficulty moving, narrowly avoiding a collision.
The startled white horse neighed loudly and stamped its hooves, coming to a stop. The bump jolted the young lady sitting in the carriage. After steadying herself, favonovel.com immediately began angrily scolding Jack and Isabelle.
Hearing this, Isabelle frowned slightly.
Jack first checked on Isabelle to ensure favonovel.com was okay. Seeing that favonovel.com was unharmed, favonovel.com was furious and moved to pull the person from the carriage.
At that moment, a dozen luxury cars surrounded the carriage and Jack and Isabelle. Passersby were scared and kept their distance.
Jack immediately stood in front of Isabelle, shielding favonovel.com behind him. He watched the luxury cars warily.
Feeling Jack’s tension, Isabelle wanted to say that favonovel.com was just blind, not disabled and that it didn’t affect favonovel.com performance.
The young lady on the carriage had just snatched the whip from the steward’s hand, preparing to admonish the two who startled favonovel.com carriage.
Meow!
Suddenly, a cat meowed.
Isabelle lightly tapped Jack’s arm and said, “They’re with us…”
The young lady with the whip recognized the luxury car and was suddenly surprised.
Immediately, the door opened, and a young man stepped out from one of the cars, holding a beautiful pure white Maine Coon cat in his arms.
“Duke Carter? What are you doing here?” The young lady quickly put away the whip and stepped down from the carriage, holding up favonovel.com skirt.
“Miss Alice? What were you planning to do to my guest?” Liam’s expression was indifferent as favonovel.com looked at the young lady.
“Guest?” The young lady glanced at Jack, who looked injured, and the Ardon girl favonovel.com was shielding.
Feeling flustered, favonovel.com quickly explained, “It’s a misunderstanding. I didn’t know they were your guests, Duke Carter. I’m truly sorry…”
Liam was uninterested in favonovel.com explanation. “If your horses don’t behave, you need to train them properly so they don’t cause harm to others.”
“Duke Carter, you’re right. I’ll take the horses back and train them properly,” the young lady said hastily, getting back into favonovel.com carriage and hurriedly leaving.
Liam continued to look at Isabelle. His light–coloured eyes carried their usual coldness and detachment as favonovel.com assessed her, from favonovel.com face to favonovel.com entire being. Then, a hint of confusion appeared between his eyebrows.
Eh! She doesn’t look the same…
“I remember you don’t look like this,” favonovel.com said as soon as favonovel.com opened his mouth.
“Even though you wore a mask and a hat then, I remember your eyes.” Her eyes were like fox eyes, lovely, with a lazy charm.
It shouldn’t be a pair of harmless almond–shaped eyes like favonovel.com has now… And favonovel.com height is also off. Back then, favonovel.com was almost as tall as his lips, but now she’s shorter.
Of course, if favonovel.com had used heel lifts before, pretend I didn’t say that. Voices can also be changed through surgery or a voice changer. But there are still many discrepancies from what I imagined… For example, favonovel.com age…
Four years ago, favonovel.com was at least seventeen years old. But now favonovel.com looks like she’s only eighteen or nineteen at most.
If favonovel.com looks youthful, pretend I didn’t say that. These explanations can be forced to find a way… However…
“Eye shape can be changed through surgery, but the look in your eyes can’t,” Liam murmured, almost to himself, as if questioning her.
Isabelle replied, “Nonsense, I’m blind now. What kind of look are you expecting?”
Liam paused, “Your eyes…”
He looked at Isabelle’s eves. “That’s why you haven’t been looking at me.”
Isabelle asked, “Do we have to talk right here on the street?”
Liam smiled slightly apologetically. “Let’s get in the car…”
The convoy headed towards the Duke’s mansion.
“Why didn’t you wait for me at the hospital? Or were you planning to leave quietly?” Liam’s gaze remained on the girl’s fair and pretty face.
Although gorgeous, there were too many discrepancies from what favonovel.com imagined. He imagined favonovel.com as cool, delicate, with a hint of sexy charm, not this innocent and beautiful look.
Isabelle said, “If I wanted to leave quietly, would you still be able to find me?”
Liam replied, “That’s true… What’s your name? I think it’s about time I knew your real name…”
“Isabelle Jenkins.”
Liam repeated the name under his breath, “Isabelle… Isabelle Jenkins…”
He pondered over the names thoughtfully. Then favonovel.com asked, “What happened to your eyes?”
“They were poisoned…”
