Chapter 142

Penulis: Your Candy
At the hospital, to accommodate Bruce's condition, Isolde and K followed along.

They had just returned to the ward when the attending doctor rushed in, his face tight with worry and urgency. "Prince, I have warned you again and again. Given your current physical condition, you absolutely cannot leave the hospital. Look at this. The wound has split open in multiple places. This is life-threatening."

Bruce leaned against the bed, his face pale, his tone indifferent. "Just re-dress it. I won't di

  • Marrying My Ex-Fiancé's Cousin   Chapter 148

    Unable to reason with Spencer, Isolde shoved past him and headed straight for Bruce's bedroom.The moment she stepped inside, she heard running water from the bathroom.The door stood partly open. At a glance, she saw Bruce seated in his wheelchair, struggling to remove his clothes.His movements were slow but stubborn. Each time he lifted an arm, the motion tugged at his wounds, and blood seeped steadily through the bandages.Isolde's temper flared at once. Worry and anger surged together, rushing straight to her head. 'Does he really have to take a shower right now?!'Irritated, she turned and walked out.Not long after, a soft snapping sound echoed through the house. All the lights went out at once, plunging the entire place into darkness.At the same moment, the sound of running water from the bathroom stopped."What's going on?" Bruce's cold voice came from inside.Spencer hurried in with a candle. The flickering light revealed a trace of guilt on his face. "Bruce, it loo

    Spencer stormed out in a fury, his chest tight with anger.Back at Nightfall…Isolde moved with swift, decisive efficiency. She reorganized K's workstation and reassigned his duties.K sat in front of the computer, his face drained of life as he muttered to himself in despair,"Is Joker even still human? He crushed me with words alone, ground me into the dirt, and kept me there. His skill level is absurd. Do I even have a chance of beating him in this lifetime?"Isolde gave his shoulder a firm pat. "How about worrying about defeating Joker two months from now? Right now, the most important thing is getting the work done."The comment only deepened K's gloom. "Ugh. I hate going to work."With K fully involved, the development speed of the android core algorithm skyrocketed, as if it had been strapped to a rocket.The pressure on Isolde eased dramatically, and she finally gained a rare moment to rest.The instant she returned to the lounge, she connected to Spade."Spade, report

    Isolde drew a steadying breath, opened her laptop, and braced herself to begin the duel.Code poured across the screen as the battle erupted.Within only a few rounds, her defenses began to buckle, driven back step by step by K's relentless pressure.Just as K closed in on her final firewall, Bruce, who had observed the fight in silence, spoke at last. "Left side, third node. Inject redundant code in reverse and force his tracking program into a self-loop."His voice was low and precise. His words cut through the chaos like a lighthouse cutting through fog.Isolde's fingers flew over the keyboard as she carried out the instruction without hesitation.In the next second, K's once-unstoppable assault slammed into an invisible barrier. Its speed dropped sharply, then fractured into disarray.From that point on, Bruce spoke only occasionally. Each time, he used just a few words. Yet every sentence landed with surgical accuracy, striking either the weakest point in K's defense or the

    "Oh, right!" Isolde's eyes lit up. "Good idea. Bruce, just stay at Blue Isle."Bruce's gaze darkened at once, sharp and probing as it fixed on her. "How do you know I have a house there?"Isolde replied evenly, "We passed by when we went to Mr. Thompson's villa last time. We saw you setting things up.""What else did you see?" Bruce frowned, his voice tight with restrained tension.That house had been meant as a gift for her. Before he ever had the chance to give it, he received her divorce papers instead. It was like a bucket of ice water had been dumped over his head, snapping him awake and mocking his foolish hopes.Now, he was determined not to let her uncover any secrets hidden inside.Isolde remained calm. "I only saw you and Jane hanging a painting."Bruce's breath hitched. 'The painting…'"What was it of?" His voice sounded dry."It was too far away. I couldn't see it clearly," she replied.Bruce let out a nearly imperceptible breath. After a brief pause, he said, "Th

    In the corridor, Isolde used Spade's communication system to contact Martin.The moment the call connected, she skipped pleasantries. Her voice sounded urgent and pleading. "Mr. Thompson, I'm sorry to bother you. I heard your family has a private medical team and complete medical equipment. I know this is an unreasonable request, especially under the circumstances, but I truly need help right now. Please, I'm begging you."Martin remained silent for a moment on the other end. When he spoke, his voice carried clear hesitation. "Isolde, it's not that I don't want to help. You know the X-X virus isn't fully under control yet. This medical team is responsible for my entire family. Even if I were willing, my family would never agree."Isolde's heart sank further. A wave of helplessness washed over her, and her hands trembled slightly.Was she really going to stand by and watch Bruce's treatment be interrupted? Would his injuries worsen? Would he truly lose, as the doctors warned, all ho

    "Do you people have any ethics at all?" Isolde thundered. "Bruce is seriously injured. How can he leave the hospital? You cannot do this. If you force him out, I will file a formal complaint against you."The director wore a miserable expression, yet his tone remained unyielding. "Ms. Vancrest, you may file a complaint wherever you like, but the Prince must leave the hospital immediately."With that, he signaled to the security guards.They surged toward Bruce's hospital bed at once. Their movements were rough and brutal, and the malice in their eyes was impossible to hide.This was not an escort. They were clearly exploiting the situation to harm him.Without hesitation, Isolde spread her arms and planted herself in front of Bruce, using her slender frame to shield him. "Do not touch him!"When the guards shoved her, she fought back fiercely. She grappled with them and struggled with all her strength, refusing to give ground even for a moment.Bruce sat on the bed, staring at t
