Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald ( Edward ) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 

What was Charlie doing here? 

This thought flashed through Isabella’s mind, and she covered her mouth in grief Immediately. 

She looked at Monica in disbelief and said, ‘Ms. Lynn! The physician clearly said that you can’t press this red button. But how could you… 

Monica’s hand was still on the red button. 

Monica withdrew her hand in a hurry and glared at Isabella. “I didn’t press it!” 

“Ms. Lynn! Everyone has seen it. How can you not admit it?” Isabella choked with sobs. “By pressing this button, you made sure that Penelope will stay a vegetable for the rest of her life. I can understand that you don’t want to take responsibility, but it’s your fault. You can’t deny it.” 

As Isabella spoke, she looked at Leo in pain. “Leo! It’s my fault. I knew Ms. Lynn has always been careful, but I still let her get so close to the machine. Now, Penelope… may never wake up.” 

As she spoke, Isabella began crying bitterly again. 

“Isabella, you’re lying!” Monica screamed. “You grabbed my hand and pressed it down on the button! You did it on purpose! You framed me.” 

Isabella looked at her with tears in her eyes. “I have nothing against you. Why should I frame you deliberately?” 

“How would I know what’s wrong with you?” Monica was about to go crazy. She looked at Ben in a hurry and said, 

“Ben, it’s her. It’s really her…” 

The moment Monica saw Ben’s face, she was stunned. 

Ben seemed… too calm. 

It was as if he hadn’t seen the dispute in the ward at all. 

As for Charlie and Leo, they were both looking at Isabella with an extremely complicated look in their eyes. 

What was going on? 

Monica stopped defending herself subconsciously. 

Isabella cried for a while longer and looked up. Suddenly, the ward fell silent. 

She looked in Leo’s direction tearfully.

With Leo’s personality, he should be comforting her in a hurry now. 

However, Leo hadn’t done so. 

On the contrary, the way he looked at her was no longer as gentle as before. Instead, he looked frightened as if he was looking at an evil spirit. 

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling about this. 

Something must have happened that she didn’t know about. 

What could it be? 

“Isabella!” Leo couldn’t hold back any longer and questioned, “Why… Why did you press this red button on purpose?” 

Isabella’s mind was in a mess, and she defended herself subconsciously. “I… I didn’t. Leo, how can you believe Ms. Lynn’s words? It’s obvious that she was careless, so she…” 

“Enough” Charlie looked at her indifferently. “Isabella, we watched a live broadcast in the past few minutes. Guess 

what we 

saw?” 

Isabella’s body stiffened immediately. 

She looked at Leo in disbelief. “You…” 

Leo said with a pained expression on his face, “Ben took me to the ward next door and we saw everything that happened in this ward live! Isabella, I really didn’t expect you to do such a thing. Although my mother is mean to you, it doesn’t mean that you would have to kill her, does it?” 

Isabella’s lips turned pale immediately 

This kind of intensive care unit was usually guarded 24 hours a day. For the sake of privacy, there were no cameras 

or equipment. 

This was the reason why she acted so boldly. 

If everything went well, Monica would be able to take the blame just like Susan did.“It would be.impossible for her to marry into the Landor family then. 

But… 

There was actually a surveillance camera in this ward. 

Moreover, the three members of the Landor family were just next door, watching the whole thing live. 

Isabella’s lips trembled.

So what if she had a glib tongue? 

She couldn’t talk her way out of this in front of such solid proof. 

“You saw everything?” Monica’s face lit up with joy. “Well, now it proves my innocence!” 

Then, she turned to look at Isabella gloatingly. “Let’s see how you can frame me now.” 

Isabella looked at Ben and then at Charlie. In the end, she turned her tearful eyes on Leo and said, “Leo, I…” 

“Shut up.” Leo took a step back somewhat cautiously. 

It was not that he loved Penelope. 

It was just that if Isabella could treat Penelope like this today, there was no guarantee that she might not be able to do the same to him in the future. 

“Grandpa, I… I made a mistake out of confusion.” Isabella turned to Charlie then. She cried and said, “I saved your life before. I am a kind person.” 

Charlie looked at her. He looked older than he ever did now. 

“You were confused?” Ben said expressionlessly, “I think you were just pulling the same trick again.” 

The same trick? 

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. She forced herself to say, “I… I don’t know what you’re talking about.” 

Ben raised an eyebrow. “Really? Didn’t you plot against Susan like this a few days ago?” 

The expression on Charlie’s face changed suddenly. He looked at Ben and asked, “Do you mean that Susan…” 

“Susan was framed,” Ben said firmly. 

Isabella panicked and said in a hurry, ‘I admit that I made a mistake this time! But what happened before was indeed Susan’s doing. It has nothing to do with me. In order to protect Penelope, I even lost my baby. I swear on it.” 

Leo frowned too and said, “She has a point, Ben. That is another matter. You can’t just blame Isabella for everything.” 

eart so 

He thought of the baby Isabella lost and his heart softened for a moment. 

Isabella had lost her baby in order to protect Penelope. How could she harm Penelope on purpose? It was said that seeing was not necessarily believing. Could there be any other reason for what happened today? 

Ben glanced at him and said lightly, “What if this baby never existed from the very beginning?”

“How could that be? Ben, you must be joking,” Leo said. 

However, Isabella’s heart skipped a beat: She grew increasingly uneasy.
