Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 457

Isabel was surprised to see him. "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" she asked, a little startled.

"Don't worry, Grandpa Gus brought me," Edmund said, walking over to the bedside. "The news about his accident got out. It couldn't be contained."

Daniel was still in the ICU. Thinking of something, Isabel made a phone call.

"It's fine," old Mrs. Blackwell said on the other end. "The Blackwell Group won't collapse. There are plenty of us in the family. Even if we don't have Adrian's business acumen, we can keep things stable."

"I think I have a lot of shares," Isabel said. "If you need me, I can help."

"Those shares are for your security, to help you with your career. Your research needs funding. They're not meant to be a burden on you. You just rest."

That was a relief. Isabel added, "And don't worry, Adrian will be fine. I'm here watching over him. Please don't get worked up. Take care of yourself."

"What haven't I seen in my old age?" old Mrs. Blackwell said. "What he did this time was commendable, I'll give him that. He's finally acting like my grandson. But you... don't let him off the hook too easily."

Isabel couldn't help but smile wryly. "Even if I'm going to teach him a lesson, it doesn't have to be right this second."

She wasn't the type to take advantage of someone when they were down.

He was fine when she gave him a hard time.

But in this situation, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Her work was about developing life-saving medicine; she couldn't be someone who caused harm.

"You handle it as you see fit," old Mrs. Blackwell said, trusting her completely. "If anyone gives you any trouble, you tell me, and I'll deal with them."

It seemed she already knew about Mrs. Blackwell's outburst.

"I understand," Isabel said. "Adrian is her son, after all."

"It's not just about Adrian. It's... all those tangled emotions. Don't pay her any mind. If she crosses a line, you tell me, and I'll handle it."

"It's okay," Isabel said gently. "You get some rest. Don't worry so much."

After hanging up, Isabel noticed that the spot on Adrian's hand where the IV was inserted was starting to swell. She quickly adjusted the drip rate.

Edmund leaned over the hospital bed. "Mommy, are you still going to marry Daddy?"

"You can always call me Mommy," Isabel said. "If you want to, you'll always be my son."
