Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer

Chapter 135

Seth, who was harsh in his words and unkind in his actions, watched Isabella

struggle while standing motionless in front of the car.

The grid girl, who had been observing, cautiously approached them and

blinked at Isabella. “Do you need any help?”

Her question was met with an instant cold gaze.

The girl turned and trembled upon meeting his gaze. Taking a deep breath,

she turned to Isabella and quickly changed her response. “Sorry, but I have

something else to attend to. You should try your best on your own.”

Isabella was left speechless. The pricking sensation in her knee was intense. It

didn’t feel like her bones were aching, but rather like there was an actual

needle inside. Not wanting to suffer, she finally relented, “Mr. Shaffer, can you

please assist me?”

He pulled his hand back from the car’s edge and casually crossed his arms.

“Isn’t it annoying that you always cause me problems?”

Thinking he was intentionally giving her a hard time, she patiently apologized,

“Sorry, I-”

“Well, it’s not that I can’t help you,” he interrupted.

Isabella’s eyes flickered warily. “Then, please hurry up-”

“Here’s the deal.” Taking a step closer, Seth bent down towards her,

emphasizing each word. “I’ll help you once, and in return, you’ll agree to one

request from me.”

Huh? She blinked her eyes. She was somewhat caught off guard by his

proposal, and it took a moment for her brain to process the situation. Is this

guy mimicking me? Her lips twitched. Finally, she decided to take a risk.

“Actually, Mr. Shaffer, you still owe me one request.”

“So?” Seth glanced sideways at her.

Isabella bit her lip and took a deep breath. She stated bluntly, “Please keep

your promise and assist me now.”

“I thought you would hold onto that ultimate lifeline.” He sneered, his attitude

unpleasant.

She smiled wryly and coldly replied, “Now is exactly when I need that lifeline.”

He could see the sweat on her face just inches away from him. Her hair was This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

damp, and her cheeks were flushed from the heat. The moment she bit her

lip, she exuded a particularly seductive charm. A strange tingling sensation

washed over him. He couldn’t help but bend down and press the button

behind the car seat, deactivating the airbag in front of her.

Isabella instantly felt relief in her legs, and the pricking sensation vanished.

Breathing a sigh of relief, she quickly lifted her legs, ready to exit the car.

However, her legs were weak from the impact of the collision. The moment

she stepped out, she accidentally stumbled, lurching towards Seth.

Thud!

Instead of bumping into him, she ended up face down on the uneven hillside.

The reason? He had skillfully sidestepped her, leaving her body throbbing

with pain, worse than the aftermath of the car crash.

Seth stood to the side, and a hint of awkwardness gleamed in his eyes. He

had instinctively dodged, suspecting Isabella was trying to retaliate against

him. Clearing his throat, he glanced at the woman on the ground. “Are you

alright?”

She gritted her teeth and struggled to get up. “Sorry… to disappoint you.”

He scoffed and frowned. “If you’re not injured, then get up quickly.”

She managed to prop up her upper body but lacked the strength to stand.

Her knee throbbed painfully from the fall, as if something had pierced it.

Studying her profile, Seth realized that something was wrong. He couldn’t

help but walk over and crouch beside Isabella. “Is there something amiss?”

Her back was sweating from the pain, and she was in no mood to argue with

him. Her lips trembled as she replied, “I-It’s my knee.”

Without hesitation, he slid his arms beneath hers, effortlessly picking her up

and cradling her in his embrace. With the change in position, she emitted a

muffled groan, her face growing paler due to the pain.

Only then did Seth realize that Isabella’s injury wasn’t an act-she was

genuinely hurt. Setting her down on a nearby rock, he promptly crouched to-

examine her knee. Reaching out, he gently ran his fingertips over the area. It

seemed there was something lodged in there, noticeable to the touch.

She gulped and said, “There’s something there.”

He didn’t say a word. He turned and looked around before picking up a

sharp-edged stone. “Bear with it,” he said, swiftly cutting her racing suit with

the stone. The fabric ripped with a tearing sound as he continued tearing it.

Isabella’s lower leg was unscratched all the way up to the knee. When Seth

forcefully tugged at her racing suit, pain flashed across her eyes. He tore the

special fabric on her knee with a strong pull, resulting in two audible gasps.

Isabella, filled with fear, stared speechlessly at her knee. His pupils

contracted as he focused on that small patch of skin, a chilling idea instantly

crossing his mind.
