“Lynn Murphy.”

She offered a polite smile, not mentioning her engagement to Lucas. In her view, that arrangement was bound to dissolve sooner or later, so she thought it best to keep that detail herself to avoid any future awkwardness.

“You know who I am?” Isabelle couldn’t help asking.

“Damian is my patient,” Lynn replied.

“Patient?” Isabelle paused. “What’s wrong with him?”

A patient?

Was Damian ill?

Apart from the leg injury years ago, she couldn’t recall him being seriously hurt or unwell.

Just as Lynn began to explain, Regina called for Isabelle from a short distance away.

Isabelle glanced toward Regina but still wanted to hear Lynn’s answer.

At the same moment, Lynn was also summoned by someone else.

And just like that, the two parted hurriedly.

“What’s the matter? You don’t look like yourself,” Caroline said, taking Isabelle’s hand and guiding her to a chair.

“Try to relax–have something to eat or drink. If something’s on your mind, say it. Don’t keep it all inside,” Regina added, bringing over a small plate of pastries and setting it before Isabelle. “The men are all gathered in the garden lounge next door. I heard Ryan invited quite a few young entrepreneurs today, and there might even be a dinner later.”

Regina drew her chair closer. “Damian’s here too–I just found out. If you don’t want to see him, we can head home after this. Honestly, I’m not too keen on dealing with him right now either.”

She poured Isabelle a glass of water and went on, “But there are plenty of other nice–looking people here today.”

Isabelle looked at Regina; she understood exactly what Regina was hinting at.

“I’m just here to keep you all company. As long as you’re having a good time, I’m fine.”

“Perfect!” Regina grinned, pleased.

The afternoon gathering was just an excuse—coming to casually observe other eligible men was part of it too. But the real aim was to let Isabelle know Damian was nearby.

Even though they knew she was still upset, if the two of them went too long without seeing or speaking to each other, things might cool off for good. A little tension was better than total silence.

Caroline thought the same.

Nearby, Linda smiled softly–she’d picked up on the unspoken meaning as well.

“Isabettel

A bright voice came from behind them, and they alk–turned.

Sienna walked over, holding a small plate of desserts.

“You’re here too!” they said almost in unison, exchanging warm greetings.

Seeing the two women sink into conversation, Regina gestured subtly to Caroline and Linda, and the three moved off to explore another part of the garden.

Sienna glanced around, then pulled her chair a little closer to Isabelle’s. “I heard about what happened between you two.”

“Mm.” Isabelle felt a faint pang and lowered her gaze slightly.

“So… is it true that Damian can’t walk?” Sienna tilted her head, her expression full of disbelief.

“Cough…” Isabelle nearly choked on her drink.

Sienna quickly handed her a napkin.

“And the injuries on Damian–were they from you?” Sienna went on, almost thinking aloud. “I thought those were just rumors, but I guess there’s some truth to them…”

“That’s not it at all!” Isabelle dabbed the corner of her mouth. “What kind of stories have you been hearing?”

“You really didn’t know?”

“Know what?” Isabelle paused. “What exactly have people been saying?”

Sienna’s lips twitched, her expression turning awkward. It seemed Isabelle knew nothing about any of this.

So she repeated everything she’d overheard.

She’d been told that Damian’s wife had gotten violent, that she’d not only hurt Damian but had tried to incapacitate him.

“You really had no idea?” Sienna pressed her lips together. “I just came from the lounge area over there. Blaze and Damian were talking. Want to go see for yourself?”

“Huh?” Isabelle hesitated.

Ľ

She hadn’t yet figured out how to face Damian. She felt she’d wronged him, yet she knew nothing about these injuries.

Her guilt only grew heavfer.

Where had Damian’s injuries come from?

Had his old leg injury flared up again?

Damian came over every morning to make her whatever she felt like eating for breakfast. If she had to guess, he’d probably been preparing all her meals.

Why was he so stubborn?
