Chapter 52 Why Does The House Stink?
Isabella did not know how she should react to that
“Fuck Sister in law, can that medicine really detoxify the body” Roger Lockwood looked at Isabella
expectantly Then he exchanged glances with his brothers, and they ran downstairs, shoving one
another. After that, they huddled together again.
“Don’t take mine. That’s mine!”
“You took the wrong one It’s mine! Bernard Lockwood, have some shame!”
In the end, they each took a medicine bottle and squeezed their way upstairs.
The elders who were clueless about things like that were confused.
“Bella, you mean those pills that detoxify the body like in martial arts dramas? Is it the kind of divine
medicine that can restructure the body?” Mia Lockwood leaned over and asked, her bright eyes full of
anticipation.
Jeanne and Philip Lockwood also looked over at Isabella.
Their intent gazes made Isabella feel nervous. She said solemnly, “It’s not as exaggerated as in
television dramas. That pill has beautification effects and can strengthen the body…”
The elders looked at each other. Then they rushed downstairs, all the while trying to maintain their
dignity as
elders
Macpherson trembled with excitement. He struggled to shove Wilson aside and hurried downstairs in
huge. strides. “I have something to do downstairs. Second Brother, don’t block me.”
“I also have something to do downstairs. The two of you are too disrespectful to your big brother.” Philip
jostled his two younger brothers.
Wilson and Macpherson were bumped aside.
Philip then strode downstairs in a flurry.
“Philip Lockwood!”
Jeanne called out to Philip in a sophisticated voice. Her tone was gentle, but it made people feel an
inexplicable sense of danger.
Philip stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Jeanne with a stiff smile. He extended his hand and
said, “Honey, please. I know you have something to do downstairs, too.”
Jeanne glanced at him. Then she held Mia’s hand and left in satisfaction.
The three men looked at them eagerly, not daring to take a step forward. They were afraid that the two
women would be unhappy.
In this family, their status would never be comparable to these queens!
They didn’t dare provoke them at all!
Isabella blinked and silently watched the scene. The three tall men could only stand by a corner pitifully
while the three women had the entire pathway to themselves.
Draxton held Isabella’s hand and squeezed it. He tilted his head and whispered to her, “Bella, you’re
amazing. You conquered them all!”
Isabella pursed her lips and smiled faintly. She tilted her head and looked at him with her dazzling eyes.
She met his midnight blue eyes and asked, “Then did I conquer you?”
Draxton’s eyes darkened, his grip on her hand tightening. His voice had become hoarse. “I just can’t get
enough of you. Every. Night.”
Despite his serious expression, his words were ambiguous.
Isabella’s ears instantly turned red, and her eyes glistened in the light. She glared at him and pursed her
lips. Then she asked, smiling, “Aren’t you going downstairs?”
She turned and saw that Philip and his two brothers had followed the three women downstairs.
“I’m not in a hurry.” Draxton’s eyes flashed.
“Why not? Although those pills aren’t as exaggerated as what’s described in television dramas and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇts, it still benefits the body.”
“There’s no rush,” Draxton said earnestly.
“Besides, you didn’t give me that pill,” Draxton accused while staring at her.
Isabella was stunned. “Don’t look at me like that!” she screamed internally. She couldn’t stand his gaze. It
was too adorable…
This was because she often saw it on the faces of Ricky and Betty.
That gaze could melt her heart.
Isabella rubbed her forehead helplessly and said, “I forgot about you.”
“You’ve… forgotten me?” Draxton narrowed his charming eyes. His powerful aura slowly approached
and enveloped her.
Isabella froze for a moment, and her heart raced. She admired the man’s face that was so close to her,
and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. “So what? What are you going to do about it?”
Draxton’s breath quickened. He stretched out his long arm and let Isabella lay in his arms. He said in a
deep voice, “I’ll punish you!”
Isabella was surprised.
In an instant, she was already in this man’s arms.
He was tall and slender, and his arms were strong. He carried her like it was nothing.
The atmosphere turned steamy. Draxton strode toward his room. However, the door they passed by had
opened.
Ava had come out of the toilet. She was in leisure clothes and had her hair bunned up, just like one
would
look at home.
“Oh my god! Don’t I look 20 years younger? Look at my skin! It’s so supple! Bella, my goodness! What
was that pill?
“And my body feels invigorated!” Ava exclaimed once she came out of the toilet.
Then, she was met with the gazes of Draxton and Isabella.
Draxton still had Isabella in his arms.
Ava felt so awkward in that instance.
Draxton put Isabella down wordlessly.
Isabella coughed lightly and smiled. “Second Aunt, how do you feel now?”
Ava also knew that her appearance was bad timing, but she was just too excited.
She grabbed Isabella’s hand and looked at her fervently. “Bella, tell me, is your true identity a fairy
daughter who has descended to the mortal world? Did you give me an immortal pill?”
Isabella didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She smiled and said, “Second Aunt, you’re exaggerating. It’s
just a pill with medicinal effects!”
Ava tightened her grip on her hand. “Bella. It’s not an exaggeration. It’s not an exaggeration at all. Look
at Second Aunt. Look at my skin. The fine lines at the corners of my eyes are gone. People would
believe that my skin is not even 30 years old!
“Besides, I’ve never felt so light and comfortable in my mind and body, and now my body feels full of
power!”
Isabella kept smiling as she listened to her while Draxton stood at the side with a dark expression.
He looked at Ava. There was a hint of resentment in his eyes. He wondered why Ava was still pestering
Isabella when she knew she had interrupted their time together.
Ava was so excited that she didn’t notice how resentful Draxton looked.
Isabella had been paying attention to Draxton. She couldn’t help but laugh when she saw his expression
darken with time. The more she interacted with him, the more she realized how cute this man was.
Of course, she had never forgotten how terrifying this man was.
After a while, Ava finally finished what she wanted to say. Draxton thought that he could finally get
Isabella
out of there.
But then, the door to Kevin’s room opened with a loud bang.
Kevin ran out in a hurry. When he saw Isabella, he pounced on her and hugged her. He shouted, “Sister-
in-law, I love you! I’m your biological brother. Sister-in-law, you must acknowledge me as your biological
brother!”
The veins on Draxton’s forehead twitched. Finally, he could not take it anymore. He grabbed the back of
Kevin’s collar and pulled him off Isabella!
When Kevin saw that it was Draxton, he shrank his neck and instantly quietened down. However, he still
looked at Isabella intently and winked at her secretly.
Isabella could not help but smile. “How is it?”
Kevin calmed down a little and said, “Sister-in-law, that medicine of yours is amazing. At first, my legs
were prickly and uncomfortable, but after my body expelled the impurities, my legs felt unprecedentedly
relaxed. It felt amazing. It was as if my legs have never suffered an injury!”
Isabella said, “I don’t know how serious your injuries are, so I can’t tell if your leg has completely
recovered. However, take one pill every day and it won’t be a problem for you to recover completely.”
Ava also said, “Bella, I fell ill when I gave birth to Kevin. I’ve not been feeling very well for the past two
years, but now I feel more comfortable than ever. Bella, you’re my lucky star!”
Isabella smiled and said, “It’s good that Second Aunt feels better.”
It was then the others also returned with their bottles of medicine. Isabella Thompson could not help but
remind them again, “It’s best to take the medicine when you’re on an empty stomach.”
Everyone looked at her and then rushed back to their rooms. Clearly, they could not wait any longer.
Draxton and Isabella were no longer in the mood. Ava also pretended that she did not ruin the couple’s
plans. She held Isabella’s hand excitedly and walked downstairs. Jeanne and Mia were about to go
upstairs when they saw Ava. Needless to say, they were astonished by her change.
“Ava…”
“Ava, gosh…”
Both of them looked at Ava with their mouths agape. Ava smiled at them and said, “I’ve become youthful,
haven’t I?”
“It’s more than just that!” Mia exclaimed.
She was just in awe.
Jeanne muttered, “Oh my god, my daughter-in-law is immortal!”
With that, she patted Draxton’s shoulder in relief. “Son, I’m so touched. I never thought that you would
marry an immortal. I love you!”
She went in for a kiss after she finished speaking.
However, she kissed Isabella instead of Draxton.
Isabella and Draxton were dazed.
One of them was speechless, while the other did not know how she should react.
Mia stared at Ava, who looked at least 10 years younger. She was so excited that her eyes turned red.
She held the medicine bottle and rushed upstairs, saying to Isabella, “Bella, your gift is too extraordinary
and precious. It’s a priceless treasure. I’ll thank you later when I’m done.”
After that, she disappeared upstairs.
Ava chuckled, “Ava is someone who likes to show off. She cares about looks the most in our family. Now
that she has this pill, she’ll be overjoyed. In the future, she’ll probably hail you as her goddess. Haha.”
Isabella smiled in response. “Everyone loves beauty, but health comes first. Only with health will there be
beauty. This pill was developed for health. The beautification is just an add-on.”
Ava said emotionally, “Bella, tell me. From whom did you learn your medical skills? I can tell your master
is not someone ordinary just from the effect of this pill.”
Kevin leaned over and said, “Sister-in-law, I don’t mind being lower in seniority. I’m willing to
acknowledge you
as my master. Please accept me as your disciple!”
He pretended to kneel.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDraxton lifted him up by his collar and threw him aside expressionlessly.
Isabella rubbed her forehead and chuckled. She looked up inadvertently and saw Draxton Lockwood
staring at her.
She felt guilty and remembered that she had never told him about herself.
Their relationship had developed faster than she had imagined. Of course, most of the time, they were
communicating with their bodies.
Because Draxton had been hunting her down for the past five years, Isabella Thompson had no intention
of communicating with him previously.
However, everything was different now.
She shifted her gaze down. Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she said, “Second Aunt, I was taught at
the Sanctum of Holy Doctors.”
Her words were directed at Ava and Draxton.
“The Sanctum of Holy Doctors?”
Ava was taken aback. “The current head of the medical field, the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, seems to be
called Carlos Orwell. Bella, could it be that you’re his…”
Isabella shook her head. “No, Carlos Orwell is the disciple of Grandmaster. He was expelled from the
sect early on. He calls himself the leader of the Sanctum of Holy Doctors because he thinks I’m already
dead.”
Ava’s eyes widened in shock.
A relative of her maternal family had paid a huge price to hire Carlos Orwell for medical treatment.
However, things did not go the way they expected.
But it turned out that Carlos was just a traitor who was dispelled by the sect…
That reminded her of Bridget Riker from the Riker family. That girl had claimed she was the successor of
the Sanctum of Holy Doctors, hence explaining her arrogance. She even said that she couldn’t be
compared to ordinary socialites.
However, both Bridget and Carlos were nothing compared to Isabella.
Ava wanted to speak, but Draxton’s expression darkened. He suddenly said, “Second Aunt, Bella and I
still have something to do. You and Kevin should go and rest.”
Without waiting for Ava to reply, Draxton grabbed Isabella’s hand and led her upstairs. He did not give
Ava and Kevin any chance to hold Isabella Thompson back.
Isabella looked at the man who held her hand. He was unusually quiet.
Isabella understood he was perturbed with her not telling him about all these things.
But it wasn’t her fault, was it?
The architecture and interior design of the old residence were both traditional-style. Draxton pressed
Isabella onto an armchair. Then he sat opposite her.
“Let’s talk,” Draxton said.
Then he stared at her.
Isabella returned the stare.
Draxton was frowning, his gaze intensifying. His thin lips pursed tightly, and his body was tense. It was
as if his aura was telling Isabella that he wasn’t in a good mood.
“You haven’t really trusted me until now,” he began, a rare note of grievance in his voice.
Isabella said, “If I didn’t trust you, I wouldn’t have married you. I wouldn’t have come to your house today
to see your family and even showed you my trump card.”
“Trump cards… Do you mean those pills or the sect you belong to? Are these your trump cards?” He
looked at her silently.
Isabella fell silent.
“Of course not,” she thought.
What she had shown today was just one of her trump cards.
But she didn’t want to lie to this man now, so she nodded. “I guess so.”
Draxton said, “I will make you fall in love with me and truly communicate with me.”
