After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 She Found Miracle Healer

"Why are you looking into this?"

"Don't you think she was acting strange just now?" Xander asked.

Samuel thought about Isabel's behavior earlier. Honestly, it was pretty creepy. Plus, the intense, scary vibe she gave off felt a lot like how Xander got when he was angry.

But why would Isabel's odd behavior matter to Xander?

As Samuel was still wondering about this, Xander got a call back from his assistant.

"Did you find anything?"

That was quick.

"It's not about the Zimmermans. We've found the driver who hit Mr. Samuel a few years ago."

Xander's expression turned serious. "Get them here!"

"Got it."

Meanwhile, Isabel rushed into the hospital. She burst into the room and saw her brother, Reggie. lying in bed, looking pale and weak.

Colin had told her over the phone that her brother's ribs were broken, but seeing him now, it's obvious things were worse than she thought.

"Isa, w-what are you doing here?" Reggie looks panicked and worried when he spots Isabel.

He didn't want Isabel to see him like this, afraid she'd worry and blame herself.

Isabel could read all these mixed emotions on Reggie's face.

Even in this state, he was still thinking about her.

Feeling overwhelmed, Isabel's eyes welled up with tears. She rushed to Reg's side and said, "Reg, I'm so sorry. It's my fault you're like this."

In her past life, she was an orphan and never knew the warmth of family. This time, it felt like fate was making up for it by giving her such an amazing brother.

"Isa, don't cry. I'm okay. I'll be fine after a few days of rest," Reggie said gently, talking to her like he would to a child, while softly patting her back.

The more he comforted her, the harder it was for Isabel to hold back her tears.

He said he was okay, but with broken ribs, it wasn't something that'd heal in just a few days. Even if she took care of him herself, it wouldn't be that quick to fully recover.

It usually took at least a hundred days for injuries like this to heal!

Isabel slowly looked up at Reggie, and when she saw the severe burns on his face, she immediately frowned.

Reggie's burns on his face were from when he saved her as a child. She was kidnapped and trapped in a fire, and Reggie rushed into the flames to rescue her, resulting in the scars he still has today.

More than a decade later, the burns on his face still look severe. Back then, Reggie was the school heartthrob from elementary through college, but it was because of her that he ended up with these haunting scars.

She made up her mind. She was going to heal his face!

Determined, Isabel took Reggie's hand and checked his pulse.

"Isa, what are you doing?" Reggie looked at her, puzzled.

"Checking your pulse."

"Checking my pulse? When did you learn medicine?" Reggie stared at her in surprise.

"I learned it on my own and haven't told anyone," Isabel replied. She didn't think lying was necessary, but talking about being reincarnated would sound too unbelievable.

Some might even think she went crazy because of the stress from Kaleb.

But the truth was, she had fully become Isabel.

She wasn't just the Miracle Healer Isabel, but also Isabel of Zimmermans.

Isabel set Reggie's hand down and glanced at the exam report hanging by the bed. Two ribs were broken, and there were also several soft tissue injuries.

She could only imagine how many punches her brother must've taken and how much he'd gone through that day.

Her fingers tightened into a fist.

Kaleb, Eva, just wait! I'll make sure you pay for this!

After calming down for a bit, Isabel went back to Reggie's side, leaned in, and studied his face closely.
