Chapter 799

Felix completely missed that Isabella was referring to Ethan, thinking she was targeting him instead.

"That's quite a sweeping generalization," he scoffed. "Some men actually have standards—like me and Boss Ethan."

He admitted he enjoyed admiring beautiful women, but he never messed around.

Unlike Isabella, who cycled through boyfriends like seasonal wardrobes.

"Birds of a feather," she sneered, dismissing their claims outright.

"What's that supposed to mean? You're hardly a saint yourself!"

Their bickering was nothing new to Ethan.

"Say that again!" Isabella raised her fist threateningly.

Felix instinctively flinched. This woman was unhinged enough to actually hit him.

"Uncle Felix, no fighting," little Theo piped up sweetly, holding out a White Rabbit candy. "Pretty lady, have candy."

Despite being Sophia's son, the child was undeniably adorable—rosy-cheeked with sparkling doe eyes.

Isabella had been horrified to learn Sophia tried to kill her own child. How could anyone harm such an angel?

"Thank you, Theo." Her demeanor instantly softened as she accepted the treat.

The tension still lingered when Nathan entered. "Miss Langley, come with me to the OR."

He would lead the five-hour surgery, assisted by Ryan—both trusted allies.

Isabella only needed to sit in the operating room as Vivian's alibi.

"On my way." She hurried after him.

Felix blinked in confusion. "Since when does she do surgeries?"

Ethan decided to come clean. "Vivian had to step out. She's covering."

"That makes sense!" Felix exclaimed. "I've known her for years, and she can't even prescribe cough syrup."

"Keep this quiet."

"You don't trust me?" Felix thumped his chest. "My lips are sealed."

Ethan rolled his eyes.

"Since Theo's back, let's continue his hospital observation."

"Yay!" Theo cheered. He hated hospitals, but this place was different.

Kind nurses and his aunt made it feel like home, not some sterile ward.
