Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 113

Canon no longer say anything.

Neither did Isabella.

Inside the Police station, Isabella stood in the long corridor after she finished her statement. Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure. Startled, she walked towards him.

However, that person disappeared as soon as she approached him.

Looking around in a daze, she still couldn't find him. She then quickly stopped a policeman passed by, "Hello, did you see a tall and thin young man standing here just now?"

"Is he a policeman?"

"Um, I don't think so. He is not wearing uniform."

"Oh, sorry. I didn't notice him."

Isabella felt a bit disappointed. She shook her head: "No worries, thank you."

She really made a mistake?

That back figure … And the profile... was just so familiar.

However, what she didn't know was that as she walked away absentmindedly, a tall figure slowly emerged from the corner of the corridor. A handsome young man looked at her with a complicated expression

He was Minh Johnson. 

Suddenly, someone patted him from behind. "Mr. Johnson, what's going on?"

Minh went back to his senses, his expression returning to indifference. He turned to look at the person, "Nothing. Mr. Forest, did you find the file?"

"Yes, it's almost ready. We can appeal in three months." A middle-aged man patted the document in his hands.

"Thank you so much."

Shaking his head, Mr. Forest patted his shoulder. "Let's go back."

"Wait, I need to go to the restroom." Minh smiled, tidied up his clothes, and left.

Isabella waited outside of the operating room without eating or drinking for five hours. 

he atmosphere was quite depressing. Diana and Luke were both present. 

Canon brought them food and drinks.

"Miss Jones, Mrs. Jones, please have something."

Isabella raised her head and said: "Thank you, but I'm not very hungry now. You guys can eat first."

Diana was anxious as well, but she couldn't let her daughter suffer. "Isabella, at least eat some."

Luke asked Rachel to give the water to her. He then advised gently: "If you aren't hungry, drink some water. You haven't had any water for hours."

Standing at the side, Canon didn't make a sound.

Rachel obediently brought the water to Isabella. 

Amused by her cute expression, Isabella finally smiled. She took the water and put her into her arms, then said, "Then how about we eat together?"

Rachel rubbed her chin with her face.

Isabella raised her head, "Luke, mom, you should eat some as well."

As they were eating, Isabella's phone suddenly vibrated.

Hearing that, Isabella tilted her body and said, "Mom, take out my phone."

She put down the lunchbox and took her phone. Seeing the number, she was stunned once again. 

Shawn?

"You guys eat first. I'm answering the call."

After walking away a few steps, she picked up the call. Then she asked tentatively, "Hello?"

"Hi, it's me." A gentle male voice came out from the other side: "I was wondering if Miss Jones has forgotten me yet."

Isabella immediately laughed: "How could I. I've already kept your number in my phone."

"Of course I'm not talking about the number. I called Mr. Smith and heard that you took a long leave of absence recently as your mother was sick? How is she now?"

Being a little confused, Isabella still replied quickly. "She is fine now, and I'll be back to work in a day or two. Thank you so much."
