Chapter 17 " Mr. Walker , you cannot fly so soon . Even knowing Ms. Thompson's school in the UK , your health must come first . " Liam's assistant was pacing anxiously by his hospital bed . " The earliest you should fly is next month . The doctor said high - altitude environments are too risky . Haven't you learned from what happened in Thailand ? " [ Book me a flight to London , for next Monday . ] Liam didn't say much , just typed the words on his phone . [ Find out where Chloe Thompson's household registration is now . ] Seeing this , the assistant's expression turned awkward . " Following the divorce , Ms. Thompson immediately removed you as her emergency contact and beneficiary from all her profiles - medical , financial , everything . My access to her records was revoked concurrently . " " Furthermore , she has sold the apartment you transferred to her . The proceeds were deposited into a new , private account . Aside from her old bank account , which she has likely closed , we have no viable avenues to trace her . " Liam didn't type further . The assistant naturally remained silent . But then , a knocking sound came from the door . Before anyone could answer , the person entered . It was Isabella . In just a few days since they last met , she had grown haggard . Deep dark circles hung under her eyes , seemingly unconcealable even with thick makeup . Her cheeks were sunken , and her whole demeanor seemed listless . This time , Liam didn't even need to signal his assistant , who immediately stepped forward to block her . " Ms. Rossi , it's not convenient for you to enter . Mr. Walker needs rest . " Isabella bit her lower lip tightly , tears already welling in her eyes . Chapter 17 Download 65.38 % " I ... Liam ... Please don't push me away like this ? I was really wrong ... Can you forgive me ? " A look of annoyance flashed across Liam's face . Isabella saw this clearly and panicked completely . " Liam ... the thesis you gave me ... my supervisor contacted me . It was ruled in Chloe's favor in the academic misconduct arbitration . My ... authorship , my degree , and diploma have all been revoked . " Her voice trembled uncontrollably , as if she were plunged into deep fear . Hearing this , Liam remembered the absurd things he had done , and his sense of guilt towards Chloe intensified . " Now ... the hospital is going to fire me ... Just one word from you , just one word , and I can keep my job . I'm begging you , please put in a good word for me ? Think of all the history we have together . " Isabella's knees trembled uncontrollably . Seeing Liam's apparent indifference , she seemed to steel herself and knelt on the floor with a heavy thud . " Liam , I'm kneeling before you . Give me a chance to make things right , please ? " Liam glanced at the kneeling Isabella and felt a slight softening in his heart . But he only gave a slight nod before averting his eyes .
