Chapter 252 Rescuing Seth Again
Surrounded by darkness, Natasha had vanished, leaving Isabella to navigate her way
along the walls. This immediately reminded her of the previous night at the hot springs.
Internally, she cursed these people for their mischievous behavior but dared not act
impulsively. The walls around her were adorned with red curtains. Some areas were
empty, and people would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
As expected, the men were likely wearing invisible night-vision goggles, choosing their
partners for the night.
Isabella was worried about Corey’s intentions. The kid might recognize her from the
previous night, and if they crossed paths, it would be awkward.
As she pondered this, the sound of footsteps slowly approached. She instinctively
stopped, even taking a couple of steps back. The person was emerging from the crowd,
Chapter 252 Rescuing Seth Again
and with each step she retreated, he advanced.
She couldn’t discern who it was. Her heart pounded like a drum as she continued to
back away until her body collided with a piano.
The music reached its climax, accompanied by whispers and an air of mystery. The
unspoken affection between men and women made her blush and her heart race.
He now stood in front of her, halting his steps.
Isabella calmed down, removed the mask from her face, and pointed it at him. She
couldn’t see, and by removing the mask, she simply wanted him to stop advancin

However, a soft laugh rang out, filled with teasing and amusement. She could sense
that he was reaching out his hand.

Suddenly, there was a commotion, and the person in front of her appeared to have been
knocked over and fallen. Taking advantage of the situation, she quickly made her way
to the side, hoping to blend into the crowd, which was preferable to being alone.
Before she could take two steps, a pair of hands suddenly grabbed her wrist. She felt a
burning sensation on her wrist, and before she could react, she was forcefully pulled
out of the red curtains.
The surroundings were still dark, but the presence of the person behind her was
unmistakable. He asked, “Why are you running? Don’t you want to be Cinderella?”
Isabella shivered, feeling his hot breath on her neck. Seth… She could detect the
vulnerability in his voice. His mocking tone was intentionally harsh, which only revealed
his current condition further. As she turned around, the warm breath from the man’s
nostrils brushed against her forehead.

The music outside was about to stop, and the lights would soon be turned on. By then,
they would be trapped in the mezzanine, making it difficult to escape.
“There’s a window. Climb out.” His voice echoed in her ear.
She silently acknowledged, slowly moved away from him, and then turned to feel along
the outer wall. Sure enough, there was a window. She was delighted, quickly unlocked
the window, and then reached out to grab Seth’s sleeve.
Perhaps due to the poor air quality in the mezzanine, he didn’t bother to argue with her
and obediently followed her lead. Isabella climbed out first, saw the light, and then
reached back to help him.
Seemingly ignoring her assistance, he skillfully stepped onto the window ledge and
effortlessly jumped out. Seeing that, she pursed her lips and withdrew her hand. The
Chapter 252 Rescuing Seth Again
man walked past her, moving swiftly under the glow of the evening twilight.
Unsatisfied, she jogged after him. Everyone was gathered in the hall, leaving the
corridor deserted, with not even a waiter in sight. Suddenly, the man stopped, and she
almost collided with his back.
“Why are you following me?”
Taken aback, she thought that since he had come to her rescue, they had reconciled.
His face was cold, his body on high alert, but his chest was heaving heavily, clearly out.

Isabella swallowed, gathered her courage, and asked, “Mr. Shaffer, are you running a Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“What’s it to you?”

“It’s my concern,” she replied calmly and confidently. “If you have a fever, it’s likely due to
an infection on your back.” And I am responsible for the
Wound on your back.
She didn’t say the last part, but they both understood.
Seth looked at her disdainfully, thinking this woman was talking nonsense. Now, she

“You’re like a wolf, always going where there’s meat. What does it matter to you
whether I live or die?”
Isabella was startled. These were the words she had used to scold Corey earlier. Now
that Seth was using them against her, she had no response.
Seeing her expression made Seth even angrier. His head was spinning, and his vision
was starting to darken. “Stop appearing before me and get as far away from me as
Chapter 252 Rescuing Seth Again
possible.” He snorted coldly, speaking without thinking. Other than glaring at Isabella,
he had no control over the rest of his body functions.
She looked into the eyes of the man in front of her, feeling a bit scared. Raising her
hand, she waved it in front of his face. “Mr. Shaffer?” As soon as her words left her
mouth, his pupils contracted, and he lunged towards her. The shocked woman raised
her voice. “Seth!”
“What on earth… are you screaming for?” His last bit of defiance echoed in her ears.
