Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 153

Isabelle's voice trembled so badly that she could barely finish her sentence.

Julian looked at her, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Julian kept quiet, Isabelle's face turned even paler.

She touched her heart, "But, Little Leaf, my heart, really aches. I know that I shouldn't force anything. I waited for so long, and today finally came. I-I am so upset."

"Sorry," Julian said stiffly.

Isabelle rubbed her eyes, "You don't have to say sorry, I…"

Before she could finish her sentence, she rolled her eyes and fainted.

Julian was shocked and quickly caught her.

Isabelle was leaning against his chest, and Julian frowned.

He looked around.

They were at their secret base, which had always been quite isolated, and not many people would pass by the place.

If he just left Isabelle there, a lone girl like her could easily get into trouble.

Julian had no choice but to carry Isabelle to the car and send her to the hospital.

After a checkup, the doctor could not find any problems.

But Isabelle was still unconscious, so the doctor said, "There's no problem with this lady's health. However, if she experienced an intense emotional stimulus, it is possible for her to faint."

"I see," Julian nodded.

He looked at Isabelle, who still had two trails of tears on her face as she laid on the bed, and frowned.

Previously, when he saw Isabelle, he was too shocked to think of anything else.

However, now, he felt that something was fishy.

Before he left, Susie told him that she was going to go to Lin County to meet a friend. Yet, in the end, why was Isabelle here and not Susie?

Although Isabelle managed to find their secret base and say the sentence carved on the tree, Julian still found it suspicious.

He grabbed his phone and called Susan.

Susan picked up the call very quickly.

"Susie, where are you?"

Susan was lying in the hospital bed, feeling incredibly bored, when she heard Julian's question. She did not want him to worry, so she just smiled and said, "I'm home."

"Home? Didn't you say you were going out?"

Just as Julian was asking, he heard a weak voice.

Julian turned and saw Isabelle waking up.

He pressed his lips together and stopped asking, "Susie, that's it for now, I'll talk to you later."

"Oh, okay." Julian's call was strange so Susan felt a bit confused, but she did not ponder too much.

She lay on the hospital bed and wondered, did Isabelle meet the little boy already? How did he look after twenty years?

Susan was so excited.

"You're awake," Julian turned to look at Isabelle.

"Yeah," Isabelle's face was pale, "Did I faint? Sorry, I troubled you again."

"It's okay," Julian shook his head. Then, he squinted, "Isabelle, you said last time that you intentionally told me that your name was Susan?"

"Did you marry her because you thought she was me?" Isabelle continued questioning.

Her eyes were hopeful and eager.

Julian looked at her, then he questioned himself.

If, back then, the person whom he found was Isabelle, would he still fulfill his promise?

After long consideration, Julian realized that he would not.

He had always been loyal to his own feelings. He married Susie because Susie was Little Flower. And when he observed and protected Susie in the dark, he truly fell in love with her.

If that person was not Susie, his feelings would not have grown in the first place.

If that person was not Susie, after getting together with her, he would not be this content and happy.

He married Susie, not only because he thought Susie was Little Flower.

It was more like he fell in love with her.

Yes, he fell in love with her.

Regardless of whether or not she was Little Flower, regardless of the promise, the most important thing was that he loved her.

Isabelle's question suddenly woke Julian up. A smile crept onto his face.

Why did it matter that Susan was not Little Flower?

His feelings for Susan may have been prompted by childhood memories, but it only developed because it was Susie and not anyone else.

Julian's abrupt smile gave Isabelle false hope. Was Julian smiling at her?

"Little Leaf..." Isabelle said shyly.
