I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Chapter 5

The late summer was transitioning into early

autumn, so the cold night sent shivers down one’s

spine.

Isabella walked all the way home, and her legs were full of blisters.

After opening the door, she found herself in an

empty space. She quietly undressed and took a shower.

The scalding water hit her, almost peeling off a

layer of skin before she finally turned off the

shower. Then, she vigorously scrubbed her body

with a bath sponge, determined to erase all the

filth on her.

She went through all of this with a blank expression,

not once shedding a tear from start to finish. When

she looked in the mirror and spotted the bruise on

her neck, she stared at her reflection with

bloodshot eves for a long time before the tears

suddenly came pouring down uncontrollably.

How did she end up like this? You’re pathetic.

The figure in the mirror raised her hand and

delivered a hard slap across her cheek. It seemed

like once wasn’t enough, so she did it again and

again.

As soon as she felt pain, her mind became clear.

After wiping away her tears, she left the bathroom

and dried her hair. Eventually, she calmed down.

matter how annoying the other party was, it didn’t

warrant tarnishing her innocence. It seemed like

resignation was the best way out. Leaving Imperia

with her mother for a smaller city sounded like a

good plan.

Seth was a generous benefactor. Over the years,

she had acquired two properties and had a few

million in savings.

With those plans in mind, she wasn’t as stressed

out. Without hesitating, she threw away her towel

and promptly submitted her resignation letter to

the human resources department. Once that was

done, she felt like a rock had been lifted from her

chest, but it was just a moment of relief. The

terrifying feeling of emptiness rushed in like a tidal

wave, and she felt as if her heart had been

hollowed out.

Leaning against the chair, she covered her eyes

with her hands, letting the near–overflowing

emotions disappear through the gaps between her fingers.

She didn’t know how long had passed, but

exhaustion washed over her. Finally, she got up and

collapsed onto the couch, falling into a deep

slumber. Since she was resigning anyway, she

simply turned off the alarm when it rang.

She slept until mid–morning, only to be awakened

by a continuous barrage of phone calls. After

fumbling for her phone, she answered it groggily.

“Hello?”

“Miss Symons, this is Ollie Wallace.”

Isabella opened her eyes in frustration and sat up.

“What do you want?”

“Mr. Shaffer is at the hospital. Please come over.”

“The hospital?” Isabella frowned but didn’t move. “I

can’t.”

Puzzled, Ollie Wallace paused for a moment and

added, “Miss Symons, you understand Mr. Shaffer’s

temper. There’s no need to make such a big fuss.

Otherwise, I’m sure you can think of the

consequences.”

Isabella didn’t say a word, and Ollie’s voice

sounded again. This time, his tone sounded gentler.

“Miss Symons, I must remind you that the two

properties are considered gifts, and Mr. Shaffer has

the right to reclaim them.”

Those words made Isabella tighten her grip on her

phone as she clenched her jaw.

Ollie continued, “I heard your mother is still in a

nursing home. Those expenses must be quite high, I

presume?”

After taking a deep breath, Isabella calmed down.

“Send me the exact location.”

“Sure,” Ollie respectfully replied before hanging up.

Feeling irritated, Isabella changed into a new set of

clothes and headed out. However, she wasn’t in a

hurry. Instead, she took a cab and slowly made her

way there, even cursing Seth along the way. It

would be best if it isn’t just a minor problem.

Perhaps a painful stomach ulcer or something

similar, just to make him suffer.

When Isabella arrived at the hospital, Ollie sent her

a message, telling her to head up to the third floor

and enter the second room on the left. Upon

stepping out of the elevator, she glanced around

and found herself in the gynecology department.

She paused for a moment, her mind momentarily

blank. Then, she knocked on the door of the

examination room hesitantly. “Hello…”

Inside the examination room was a single female

doctor who glanced up at her coldly. “Are you Miss

Symons?”

“Yes.”

“Lay down while I get prepared.”

Isabella was confused, and her feet felt like they

were nailed to the ground.
