After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 16 Xander's Intense Jealousy +5 Free Coins Isabel's eyes widened as she stared at the handsman before her, feeling both shocked and unsure of how to respond.

Xander, who had always kept his distance from women, was now holding her! The sudden change made her remember that she had previously discovered Xander's usual avoidance of women. Before that, he hadn't confronted her because of her ability to heal Samuel's legs. She knew she had to be careful not to push him too far, or she might end up being kicked out.

Yet now, he was carrying her upstairs, which was unexpected.

While Isabel was lost in thought, Xander told his assistant, "Leo, get Dr. Gill here." "No need. I'm a doctor myself. There's no need for Leo to go. Just let him carryupstairs," Isabel quickly interjected.

Xander's steps cto an abrupt halt, his face darkening as he turned to Leo Lambert with a menacing look "Yes, sir," Leo responded and hurried away in fear.

Xander ascended the stairs with Isabel in his arms, his expression stern.

Rachel, unable to contain herself, rushed after them in a panic.

"Xan, you have to believe me! I didn't do anything to her! It was her who got angry and slappedafter I revealed her motives!" Isabel, battling the pain in her stomach, defended herself, "My pain isn't related to you. Your face is your doing, not mine." Rachel was momentarily at a loss for words.

""Xan, don't listen to her lies! I-" "Get out," Xander said coldly.

Rachel was taken aback. She needed to make things clear today.

"Xan, you-" "I said get out. Understand? Or should I have someone throw you out?" Xander's tone was calm but carried a dangerous undertone. Rachel fell silent, not daring to say more as she watched Xander carry Isabel into the room.

What a b*tch!.

She cursed inwardly. She had been amazed by Isabel's beauty when she first saw her earlier and felt a strong sense of crisis.

Chapter 16 Xander's Intense Jealousy 809 + Free Cons Reflecting on her initial reaction, she felt even more convinced. She must get rid of Isabel as soon as possible, or the latter would beca major rival in her romantic pursuits.

Just wait and see! I'll make you regret trying to steal my mant Rachel sneered and left the villa.

Inside the room, Xander carefully placed Isabel on the bed. "Don't worry. Dr. Gill will be here soon." In so much pain that she could barely speak, Isabel looked at Xander's worried face. She thought he must be concerned about his younger brother, fearing that if something happened to her, there wouldn't be anyone to take care of his brother's legs. Five minutes later, Xander's frustration grew. He called Leo, "Why hasn't Dr. Gill arrived yet?" "We're almost there," Leo replied, wiping his sweat and urging Dr. Gill, 'Hurry up! Boss is waiting!" Robin rushed in with a medicine box, sweating heavily As they entered Isabel's room, the tense atmosphere felt almost suffocating.

Leo observed Xander's intense focus on Isabel and sensed something unusual.

Having worked for Xander for years, he'd never seen him show such concern for a woman before. It seemed like his guesses were correct.

After Robin diagnosed Isabel with a stomach issue, Xander visibly relaxed.

Since Isabel's condition was severe, she needed IV fluids. After stime, her condition began to improve. "How are you feeling?" Xander asked softly.

Leo believed his guess even more as he heard Xander's unusually gentle tone.

"I feel better," Isabel said weakly. "Just a bit thirsty." She then turned to Leo and asked, "Could you geta glass of water?" "Why ask him? I can get it," Xander said, glancing at Leo.

Leo, sweating nervously, stood still.

Isabel was taken aback by Xander's comment. She thought, If I don't let Leo help, who else should I ask? I wouldn't want to trouble the boss. "Why are you silent? Are you interested in him?" Xander's gaze narrowed at Isabel.

When Xander spoke, Leo's forehead began to sweat heavily.

Isabel was momentarily taken aback. Why was Xander suddenly saying such things? Before she could collect her thoughts, Xander had already stood up, poured her a glass of warm water, and handed it to her.

After drinking, Isabel looked at Xander with a curious expression.

"What are you looking at?" he asked in confusion.

"I didn't expect you cared aboutthis much," Isabel said, leaning in im with a playful grin, the space between them nearly nonexistent. Her eyes sparkled with amusement as she teased, "Are you falling for me?"

Xander felt a slight confusion at her words. If he weren't so good at hiding his emotions, he might have given feelight have away his true feelings. "You're overthinking it," he replied casually, then stood up. "Just focus on getting better, and then you can help Sam with his legs." Isabel pouted slightly, realizing he was indeed concerned for his younger brother rather than for her.

Once Xander left the room, he let go of the anxiety he had been keeping under control. His heart raced uncontrollably, and he felt an unsettling flutter in his chest.

Leo, stepping out of the room, observed Xander with a new om perspective, thinking adn't expect N the boss to be so complicated. He likes Madam but is in denial about it. If it were me, I'd stay by her side. Stomach issues weren't usually severe, but they could be quite painful. After a night's rest, Isabel was already feeling better.

There was a knock at the door, followed by Xander's deep voice.

"How are you feeling? If you're still unwell, you don't have to cto the banquet today." "I'm fine. Just putting on makeup. Givea moment," Isabel responded.

She needed to attend the event to gain more of Xander's trust and favor. Helping him today would make future tasks easier for her.

Xander cdownstairs and waited on the sofa, opening his laptop to handle work for the next day.

"Xander, are you truly going to bring her along?" Samuel asked, not wanting Isabel to be alone with his brother. "Yes," Xander responded lightly.

"But don't you think she's too scheming? I heard she hit Rachel yesterday and then blamed her stomach pain on Rachel. That's outrageous! How can you tolerate such behavior?" Samuel said through gritted
