Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 117

Nathan and Victoria walked towards the parking lot in a disheveled manner.

As Victoria got into the car, she felt a tightness in her chest due to her anger. She wanted to vent to Nathan, but when she saw his gloomy expression, she didn't want to annoy him. She forced herself to endure the discomfort in her body and rested her head against the backrest, closing her eyes.

Nathan remained silent all the way, and the two people who used to talk about everything now seemed strangely distant after encountering changes.

After Nathan took Victoria to the hospital, Victoria burst into tears the moment she saw it was a hospital. "Nathan, I want to go home with you."

Nathan sighed wearily, "Stop it. Victoria, you were not feeling well, and staying in the hospital with doctors monitoring your condition made me feel at ease."

Victoria, however, cried sadly, "This illness of mine is destined to never get better. Living in the hospital, you haven't come to see me for a long time, and I feel incredibly lonely. It would be better to die."

Nathan sighed weakly, feeling helpless. "I'm busy, I can't take care of you if you come home with me. Victoria, be obedient and wait for me to finish this period of time, then I'll come pick you up."

Victoria had to compromise. "Alright."

After settling Victoria, Nathan returned to that cramped house.

A 120-square-meter three-bedroom apartment, each narrow functional room was simply a suffocating presence for Nathan, who grew up in a large villa.

He threw himself onto the bed in frustration, staring at the white ceiling above his head. For the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness.

How did we end up turning such good days into this?

Once adored by many, now abandoned by all, did he only have one love affair? Is it wrong to be unwaveringly in love with someone?

He was too tired and exhausted, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

He had a long dream.

In the dream, he sat on a high revolving chair, overlooking the petite Isabella. At that time, Isabella had just arrived at the Hill family villa, and she was full of anticipation for everything here. Her black pupils were shining like stars.

"Isabella, if your friend had a serious illness, would you save her?" He concealed Victoria's identity and the cost required to rescue her.

He hoped that Isabella was an angel, which would save him a lot of trouble.

Clearly, Isabella was not.

Isabella shook her head without hesitation and said, "Brother Hill, look at me, I was as poor as a church mouse. How can I save others?"

Nathan smiled awkwardly, "What if what the other person needs is exactly what you have? For example..."

Seeing Isabella's resistant expression, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Something like a blood transfusion."

Isabella shook her head and said, "I wouldn't."

Nathan was puzzled, "Why?" He couldn't even bear receiving a blood transfusion, let alone a kidney transplant.

Isabella lamented, "I have not yet encountered a friend worthy of me merging my blood into her body."

Nathan's face darkened again.

He knew that it would not be easy for Isabella to emerge.

Isabella was unwilling even to receive a blood transfusion, let alone something as significant as donating a kidney. It seems that he cannot rush things and scare her away.

Take it slowly and steadily.

Nathan started to be extra nice to Isabella. Isabella liked drawing, so Nathan enrolled her in an art class. However, the art institution he chose was very casual and had cheap prices.

But with tuition fees in the thousands, Isabella still felt that the fees were high. She was even more grateful to Nathan.

Her way of repaying Nathan, however, was also very simple and pure. She worked hard every day, doing housework, mopping the floor, learning to cook... doing her best to share Nathan's worries.

Isabella came to the institution excitedly for her class. However, she was informed that her painting class had been interrupted by Nathan. She returned to the Hill family in a daze and sat on the stairs, secretly crying for a few times.

She did not question Nathan, after all, she felt she had no right to demand unconditional devotion from him. However, she also lacked the motivation to continue being a diligent worker bee. The floors in the house, which she used to clean to a sparkling shine, began to revert to their previous state.

Nathan was always slow on the uptake. He also noticed that something was off with Isabella.

He rarely had the patience to ask her, "You haven't been looking well lately, and you haven't been doing the housework either. Are you feeling unwell?"

Isabella stared at him fixedly, her beautiful eyes concealing a hidden resentment. However, she still shook her head and said, "No."

She was just living under someone else's roof, and not causing trouble for others was her strict rule.

Nathan's face looked unpleasant. "So why didn't you do the housework? Didn't you promise me that you would do the housework? Isabella, remember to keep your word, being inconsistent will make people dislike you."

Isabella's voice was weak. "I wanted to go to school."

Nathan didn't hesitate and said, "So you wanted to go to school. Why didn't you say so earlier? Tomorrow, I will have the butler arrange for you to contact the school."

Isabella burst into laughter through her tears and said, "Thank you, Brother Hill."

Nathan gazed at Isabella, and it seemed that all of this child's joys and sorrows were displayed on her face. It appeared that he had not done a good enough job of pleasing her.

"Bella, Brother Hill is very busy, so sometimes he may overlook things. If you need anything, you can tell me directly."

Isabella's eyes welled up with tears because of his words.

"I knew it."

She was not a greedy person, nor would she actively ask Nathan for anything. However, Nathan's words warmed her heart.
