Claire body froze. “I know he’s telling the truth. Even if I scream until my throat is sore, no one would dare to enter this word.


“Because this man… is isaac.”

She remained silent while he leaned forward, his lips pressing against her jaw, neck, and finally, he paused at her pretty collarbone, sprinkling tiny kisses on it.

“Stay by my side. Didn’t you say that on this earth, I care for you and you’ll care for me too? I’m giving you the opportunity to do so now but why don’t you want it?” he mumbled.
C

laire felt as if her heart had been pierced.

“Yes, I did say that once but hearing those words now feels like such a huge mockery.”

“Because you’re not isaac” She thought to herself, “He’s not the homeless person I thought who was a fellow sufferer. He’s
I

saac, the man capable of changing the weather in Emerald City.”


He paused and propped himself up slightly. He studied her and said, “I am. If you want me to, then I can be like the way I was then. I can act in a manner you like in front of you.”


She smiled weryly. “Even if you acted that way, you’re not isaac.

“My isaac doesn’t exist anymore. He was a hallucination from start to end.”

He pursed his thin lips tightly and coldness bloomed within his beautiful and amorous eyes. A few moments passed before he replied, “Are you so repulsed by  isaac ? But Sister, have you ever thought just because I am isaac, I’m the only one in Emerald City capable of turning you into a person of note,


giving you a chance to escape your current fate? If not, who would be willing to offend isaac for your sake?”

He straightened himself and after giving her a haughty glance, he left the room.

Only then did claire sit up and fasten the buttons of her hospital gown one at a time. She then used the covers to tightly wrap her trembling body.

“He didn’t really want me just now. He just wanted to show me that as long as he does, I won’t be able to object to him!

“I can’t even refuse him!”
Nathan relayed the investigation results to isaac“On that day, Lexi met with some people she usually spends time with, her family, colleagues, and neighbors. But there was an exception sandra”


“lewis’s sister?” isaac asked as he muttered to himself.

“Yes. From what I heard from Lexis colleagues, during the fight between sandra and Lexi, sandra mentioned your name, Mr. Landford” nathan continued.

Isaac smiled coldly. “It didn’t occur to me that the slip-up was caused by sandra mayer”

“lewis knows that I’m with claire but sandra was the one who exposed my identity at the worst possible time.

“The Mayer family sure is…” He ordered nathan, “Bring sandra to the hospital.”

“Yes,” nathan said and he continued to speak on another issue. “I’ve looked into the reporter who sneaked into the hospital the last time. The news of Mr. Landford bringing Miss Grays into the hospital was first published by a nurse onto her Facebook Moments and it was then uploaded onto the internet. Although all relevant content has been deleted, we are unable to determine how many people have already seen it.”
