Sweet Flash Marriage with the Restrained Tycoon (Isabelle and Damien) novel Chapter 374

“It’s nothing. Let’s go.” Damian gave her hand a gentle, reassuring squeeze

James was already waiting with the car nearby.

“What was Gordon referring to earlier about ‘wrapping things up?” Isabelle‘ couldn’t raip

“I’ll be heading out in a couple of days to handle something for him,” Damian replied casualy.

“Oh…”

Another trip…

“This one should be short. Don’t worry.” Damian opened the car door for her, letting her settle in before dete

“What kind of thing is it?”

Isabelle rarely pried into his work, but after everything that had happened, she felt it was necessary to know

“A small personal matter. I won’t be long.” Damian wrapped an arm around her, his hand gently stroking her hair

Isabelle felt a thread of unease. More and more, she just wanted to keep him close, not let him go anywhere.

“Alright, I’ll wait for you.” Isabelle didn’t press further, simply letting her hand rest softly against his back.

For now, all she could do was trust him completely.

During the drive home, Isabelle used Damian’s phone to call Diana.

Brian answered.

Diana had been admitted–her leg was likely infected. The field bandaging probably hadn’t been ideal, and with sanitary conditions, she was now running a fever. She was on an IV and had fallen asleep.

Madeline and Frank had rushed to the hospital to be with her.

“You should rest at home. She’ll probably be sleeping most of the next couple of days, and you haven’t to trouble yourself coming over,” Brian advised.

Isabelle had been thinking the same.

With Madeline and Frank there, it didn’t feel quite right for her to visit now. Better to go tomorrow.

“Take good care of her,” Isabelle said.

“Will do.”

After exchanging a few more words, they hung up.

Lucas walked into the hospital beside Gordon, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips,

Gordon strode ahead while Lucas trailed a step behind, not daring to make a sound

Chapter 374 A Necessary Departure

Suddenly, Gordon stopped in his tracks.

Lucas nearly walked into him.

Gordon turned and looked at Lucas. “Damian’s wife still doesn’t know about his leg?”

“Probably not,” Lucas answered

Gordon let out a sigh. “Alright, stop following me. I don’t have time for you right now.”

“Understood.”

Gordon frowned, waved a dismissive hand, and walked off.

Lucas turned and headed toward the ER.

Lynn was sitting in a wheelchair, chatting easily with a couple of nurses.

She recited a string of digits while one of the nurses tapped them into her phone.

“Just the last name Moore–is this right?” The nurse held her screen toward Lynn.

Standing behind them, Lucas chuckled softly. “That’s the one.”

Lynn startled and turned, her knees pulling painfully from the sudden movement. “Ow…”

The nurse beside her quickly lowered her phone.

Lucas‘ previously amused expression cooled.

“Added him?” Lucas asked the young nurse.

“Y–yes…” The nurse stood frozen, her eyes darting between Lucas and Lynn.
