Chapter 17 Isalah ignored his weakened , recovering body and rushed downstairs , searching through the hospital rooms one by one Suddenly , he froze in place when a slender figare appeared in front of him , Essie ! His body reacted faster than his mind .
He dashed after Esme without a second thought , fearing that she would vanish again if he hesitated .
Esme paused when she heard that familiar voice from a distance , her hand tightening on the door to Rubys ward .
She instinctively turned around and saw salah striding toward her .
She then turned back and ran downstairs without hesitation .
She didnt stop to wonder how Isaiah had found her .
Right now , she wanted nothing more than to avoid him .
י Esme bolted out of the hospital and flagged down the first cab she saw .
Sir , gol quickly ! Just as the cab started moving , Isaiah caught up and banged on the car window .
Essie , Essie ! Listen to me ! Please , dont go ! Esme ignored him completely and kept urging the driver to leave .
As the car disappeared from view , Isaiah instinctively tried to chase after it .
But a sharp pain suddenly gripped his stomach , forcing him to bend over and clutch his abdomen .
At that moment , a furious voice rang out .

Isaiah Nolan , who had come to take over Esmes shift , witnessed the scene and was overcome with rage .
He stormed over and punched Isaiah square in the face How dare you show your face here to bother Essie ! Nolan roared , delivering another punch to Isaiahs body .
Already weakened by the stomach pain , Isaiah collapsed to the ground under Nolans blow .
Pale and trembling , Isaiah reached out , trying to grab onto something However , Nolan didnt even spare him a glance .
He just turned and walked away with a cold command .
Get lost ! Dont let me see you here again ! The incident lett both Nolan and Ruby seething with anger and heartache .
They were furlous that Isalah still had the audacity to seek out Esme after all this time .
But they were also heartbroken that Esme , who had finally escaped him , was now being drawn back into his mess because of Rubys hospitalization .
Ruby , who was feeling overwhelmed , declared on the spot that she wanted to be discharged immediately and return to the countryside so Esme could go back to Meliana as soon as possible .
Esme hurriedly held Ruby down and spent a long time persuading her to give up on the idea .
Lame knew she would eventually run into Isaiah from the moment she returned to Jonesville .
After all , Jonesville was the Jabs familys territory .
If Isaiah had wanted to , he could have pursued her from the moment her plane landed .
She thought back to the scene of salah outside the cab , banging on the window and pleading with her .
With a deep sigh , she wondered what he could possibly have to explain .
Everything that needed to be said or done had been laid out in her letter to him .
If he truly understood it , he wouldnt be looking for her now .
However , Isalah couldnt give up so easily after finally seeing her again .
He had so much he needed to tell her .
He wanted to explain everything about him and Audrey .
He didnt love Audrey he only wanted Esme Yet Esme seemed to be avoiding him deliberately .
He waited outside Rubys ward for days , enduring Nolans and Rubys cold stares and the whispers of passersby .
Even so , he didnt even catch a glimpse of Esme That night , Isalah clenched his fists and prepared to leave after waiting late into the night without seeing her .
Just then , a slender figure appeared at the end of the corridor .
Isaiahs dull eyes instantly lit up .
Essie! Esme stopped in her tracks , her cold gaze meeting his .
Then , she walked past him and shut the ward door behind her without a word .
Ruby had been moved to a different room earlier that moming , but some belongings had been left behind in the old one .
Esme had planned to retrieve them late at night , not expecting Isaiah to still be there waiting .
