“You know what?” Julian’s voice filled with amused interest. “Don’t tell me the kid humiliated him?”
Isabel explained Adrian’s situation.
Julian laughed. “What’s the big deal? It’s not for life, just a month. What can he do to you?”
“You taught him this,” Isabel said through gritted teeth. “Telling him it’s what men care about most.”
“It is what they care about most,” Julian soothed. “Don’t overthink it. Just tell him it’ll be over in a month. What can he say? If he tries to do anything to Edmund, you can just beg him.”
Isabel was so furious she couldn't speak for a moment.
She finally managed, her teeth practically grinding, “I’m begging *you*.”
“Fine, I’ll call him.”
He hung up before she could protest.
Isabel quickly redialed, but the line was already busy.
So annoying.
Why was every man in her life so infuriating?
Isabel took a deep breath and, despite everything, bought some fruit and went to the hospital.
Daniel was surprised to see her.
Two visits in one day was a rare occurrence.
“You two talk.” He took the hint and stepped into the outer room.
Isabel walked over and set the fruit down.
She glanced at his phone and asked, “Did anyone just call you?”
Seeing her for the second time that day, and noting that her attitude was no longer hostile, Adrian basically understood what had happened.
“It was Edmund.”
