Instantly , she found herself face - to - face with Liam . " M - Mr . Walker ! " She bowed deeply , greeting him loudly . Isabella turned around instinctively , looking surprised . She immediately stood up , came over , pushed the nurse out the door , shooing her away impatiently . When she turned back to Liam , her face was all smiles . " Well , look what the cat dragged in . Here for me ? " She extended her right index finger , trailing it from Liam's chest down to his belt buckle , then hooked it , gesturing for him to enter the office . The bright red nail polish felt jarring to him . " You . Shouldn't ... " The words were barely out of Liam's mouth before Isabella pouted playfully , squirming onto his knees . " Oh , come on , " she whined , her voice dropping to a silky , persuasive tone . " Okay , okay , I know . Can't be too conspicuous . " She tentatively lowered her head to kiss Liam's lips , but his lips were pressed tightly together . He leaned back slightly , so their lips only brushed past each other . The action made Isabella's body stiffen slightly . " What , am I annoying you now ? " she said with a playful pout , poking him in the chest . " Then I'll go apologize to her . " She made as if to get up and leave , but Liam pulled her right hand back . " Next time ... " " I know ! Liam , I won't , I promise !

" I said no need ! I'm a graduate of a top medical school too . Why don't you believe me ? " " And ever since I came back , your mutism has improved a lot , hasn't it ? This kind of psychological issue requires relaxation and getting out . I don't want to work here anymore ; it's so boring every day . " Looking at Isabella's back , Liam , for some reason , thought of Chloe . " I'll accompany you to every single treatment session from now on , okay ? " " I'll stay with you until you're completely cured ! " Chloe's smiling face appeared before his eyes . After a long silence , he could only suppress the discomfort in his heart , stand up , and hug Isabella from behind in a placating gesture . " Rest . Now .
