Twisted Ties of Love

Chapter 24

Brett choked and nearly lost his breath at what Presley had said

Presley had a keen sense of smell and noticed the smell of smoke on Brett before he even got close “Izabella is in poor health and can’t stand the smell of smoke if you don’t know how to take care of someone, just go back. Ive already arranged a caregiver for her and instructed on what to pay attention to ”

Presley was trying to get him to leave, but Belt was thick skinned and didn’t take his words so heart Instead, he found it extremely uncomfortable hearing Presley call Izabella’s name so intimately. It was like a loy that had always been by his side was being coveted by a stranger Although he didn’t really like the toy, it was his and he couldn’t stand others eyeing it

This was a public space with patients resting so it wasnt a good place to argue Presley said the words coldly and walked away

Brett stood there smelling his clothes. He hadn’t taken a shower for two days, and there was already an odor on his body. The smell of smoke did a good job of covering his perspiration, but Presley was right- Izabella couldn’t be around the smell of smoke. So, he had to stand in a well– ventilated area to air himself out before going back to the wand

After Presley walked some distance, he instructed the nurse beside him, “Give that fake medical report to Brett later”

He had promised to hide the truth for Izabella, so he had prepared this fake report a day earlier.

The nurse asked. “But will he believe 17” After all, the patient had vomited so much blood before, and there was even a critical illness notice issued. She couldn’t imagine how foolish someone

would have to be to

believe such a report.

“He will find out if he genuinely cares about Izabella. But if he doesnt care, hell believe whatever you say and won’t take it to heart‘

The nurse nodded with partial understanding, then went to fetch the report and headed back to the intensive care unit.

Brett had finished airing himself out and was about to push the door open when a nurse behind him stopped him.

“Sit please wat”

Brett turned to look at the person who ran to him out of breath, his eyes moving down to finally rest in the file she was holding NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

“Sir, this is your wife’s medical examination report”

Brett hesitated for a moment before reaching out to take it. After flipping through it for a white, he stopped suddenly at the “Stomach Bleeding section with no other explanation.

The nurse watched his facial expression carefully, seeing his eyes fixed on the “stomach bleeding” part, she suddenly had an urge to run away

“Isn’t she suffering from stomach cancer? Why isn’t it on this record?”

The nurse gave an awkward smile explaining. Actually, your wife doesn’t have stomach cancer.”

“You’re saying she doesn’t have it? She’s lying to me” Brett’s face remained the same, but a boundless chill spread from the depths of his eyes, making him uncontrollably intimidating.

Feeling as if she was being stared down by a ferocious beast, the nurse’s legs weakened, but she forced herself to stay put. Hurriedly, she nodded

“It’s your wife’s wish. If you want to ask her just go talk to her After saying this, she glanced at the door nearby and thought of Izabella’s pate face. Comparing it to Brett’s fierce gaze right now, she couldn’t help but remind him, “But her situation was indeed very dangerous at that time Otherwise, they wouldn’t have asked you to sign the critical illness notice‘

Brett didn’t take her advice in All he could think about was how Izabella and the hospital had deceived him, and that she didn’t have stomach cancer after all.

The examination report in his hand was crumpled into a ball, soon becoming nothing but a wad of waste paper
