Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 118

Luckily, they were living just in the same community, not face to face. Otherwise, she would leave right away.

Hearing that people helped her move were also from Canon's company, she asked Canon after cleaning the apartment: "Mr. Miller has returned to Leeds. Have your mission assigned by your boss expired? You guys helped me for another day. How about I treat you to a meal?"

She couldn't got help from others for nothing, but she knew that Canon wouldn't receive her money. 

Canon shook his head politely: "No need. They are just here to help and will leave in a moment. I haven't received any notification from my boss about when my mission expired, so … Miss Jones, please don't treat this meal."

Isabella, "..."

What the hell is this?

"No, um, how can it not be? My father's operation has already been completed, and other stuff can be left to Mr. Yannick. If medical parole is approved, my father will stay at home and taken care of by my mom. They won't need any protection."

Then where is he going? He shouldn't stay at her home all day.

“Sorry, Miss Jones, I'm only following orders. But after I finish my job, I won't disturb you anymore, and my boss will definitely notify me." Looking at her apologetically, Canon then continued to instruct the others to clean up the apartment.

Isabella was stunned for two seconds. Looking at the crowd, she was out of anger. 

What a dumb head.

Forget it. She might just directly call Christian back then.

"Captain, we're heading back first."

The rest people waved towards Canon.

"Alright. Thanks everyone."

Isabella, "..."

So he's even a security captain?

Why did she feel like he was waste his talent on protecting her family?

The apartment was a three-room flat, and the rent wasn't low. But she had no more other choice now. 

Now, not only did she not pay back the two hundred million dollars, she was also in debt to Naomi. She should pay her back first, who also borrowed that money from others. 

Looking her debts one by one on her phone, she thought that she had to get back to work as soon as possible.

"Miss Jones, the surveillance cameras at the door as well as the corridor have all been installed. Do you need to connect them to your phone?" Canon walked in from outside.

"Oh, okay." Isabella passed her phone over, then walked out to check the camera.

"How much does these cost? I'll transfer to you later on. "

Hearing that, Canon raised his eyes and looked at her strangely, "These are all products of my company. If you want to thank me, you can just help us advertise it in the future."

Isabella kept silent for a while before she let out a 'okay'.

She really didn't know what to say, as she had no idea whether she owed Canon's company or Christian. Besides, surveillance camera is one of Benton's products as well, so she really felt quite awkward about advertising one from other's company.

In the hospital, Tristan finally woke up after operation. Although he still couldn't speak clearly, at least his brain had cleared a lot and he could recognise Diana and Isabella. 

"Doctor, how long will it take for my father to recover to a normal state?" Sitting in the doctor's office, Isabella and Mr. Yannick consulted.

"It would be hard for him to return to that state." The doctor shook his head with a serious expression. "He may be able to walk, which depends on how well you're doing during his recovery. Let him stay in the hospital for a few days first, then you can take him home. Remember to give him some muscle massage."

After asking a few more questions, Isabella came out with a heavy expression. 

Before Isabella asked anything, Yannick nodded, "I know Mr. Jones situation now. After collecting the materials, I will submit them to the court. I'll let him return to the jail after he recovers."

"Ok, I got it... Thank you so much, Mr. Yannick." Isabella was was so thankful that she even didn't know how to express her gratitude. She handed over a bag with some money in it, smiling: "This is what you deserve."

Yannick was startled, then laughed and shook his head while rejecting, "You've misunderstood, Miss Jones. Mr. Miller's already paid me." 

Isabella suddenly thought of something, but still handed him the money, "This is a little gift from me, so don't reject it, or I'll feel bad."

Mr. Yannick sighed. He still refused to accept it, joking: "We have our own professional integrity, so there's no need to be polite, Miss Jones."

"Then...Alright. I'll treat you to dinner some other day."

"Sure. I'll get busy now."

... 

With regards to her father, Isabella finally relieved for the time being.   

Having Diana look after Tristan in hospital, she went to work the next day.         

She hadn't been working for more than a week. From the time she entered her department, everyone started at her as if she was a monster.       

A female subordinate ran over excitedly and hugged her, "Miss Jones, you're finally back. I missed you so much that I went crazy!"       

"Miss Jones, I've missed you too. I can't even eat without you."      

"And me … without my leader around, I feel like my life has become quite boring lately. "         

Hugged tightly by a few people, Isabella wanted to laugh and weep all at once.        

It was until Minh who knew that she was pregnant and walked over. he pulled them apart and said with a faint smile: "Didn't you see that how much weight she's lost? You guys just care about yourself."   

Isabella looked at him gratefully. Then she waved her hand at her subordinates, and led them back to the office.       

"Miss Jones, you've really lost a lot of weight. How is your mother now?"       

Feeling warm in her heart, Isabella touched her cheek and replied, "She's doing well now. But have I really lost weight?"              

She deliberately looked at herself in the mirror with an exaggerated expression, as to change the subject.        

Otherwise, these people would definitely ask about her mother and plan to visit her.     

"Yes, of course thinner now. You're the most beautiful, Miss Jones!" The crowd roared.  

Isabella raised her chin proudly, smiling, "Good. Have you guys completed all your work?"

"That's the must, Miss Jones!" 

John also laughed, "We've completed all of our work, and we'll definitely get the bonus!"        

Minh blinked his eyes charmingly, "And me, you've promised to give me additional points for the end-year-exam, Miss Jones." Isabella patted his shoulder, laughing, "I remember that clearly. I can't be at ease leaving a talent like you out there. "
