Chapter 480

Nathaniel's perfect features twisted into a frown.

Isabella smirked victoriously at Harrison, her lips curling into a cruel smile. "Does it hurt that much? Then why don't you get on your knees and beg? Maybe I'll convince Nathaniel to take you to the hospital."

Harrison clenched her jaw against the pain, shooting Isabella an icy glare. "We'll see who's begging by the end of this."

Without another word, Harrison turned and walked away.

Back in her apartment, Harrison immediately called Evelyn, her other senior colleague. "Evelyn, listen. Nathaniel has taken Oliver. You need to send a rescue team immediately."

Evelyn chuckled darkly at the news. "Well, that's new. Someone actually dared to kidnap Oliver? Did you and Nathaniel have another fight?"

Harrison pressed a hand to her throbbing abdomen, her pale face drawn with pain. "Don't even say his name to me. I wish I'd never met that man. What was I thinking loving someone like him?"

Evelyn's tone softened. "Oliver will be fine, I'll handle it. But you don't sound good. Are you sick?"

Hearing his reassurance eased some of Harrison's tension. If anything happened to Oliver because of her, she'd never forgive herself.

"I'm fine. Just need to rest."

"Then get some sleep. Take care."

The call ended, but the dull ache in Harrison's abdomen persisted. Nathaniel's cruelty today had pushed her too far - she worried it might affect her pregnancy.

She needed to prepare some herbal medicine to stabilize her condition, but two key ingredients were missing.

Harrison quickly dialed her assistant. "Bring me Lideran and Cerrosbi immediately."

Meanwhile, Nathaniel had left for work, and Isabella arrived at Emerald Heights with one goal - to confront Harrison.

She wanted to rub salt in Harrison's wounds and pressure her into treating her heart condition sooner.

As the elevator doors opened, Harrison's assistant rushed forward. "Hold the door, please!"

Isabella didn't recognize the assistant, but they entered the elevator together.

Inside, the assistant pulled out her phone. "Dr. Sinclair, I'm in the elevator now with your order."

Isabella's ears perked up at the name. So this was Harrison's assistant. What could she be delivering?

"Yes, I have both Lideran and Cerrosbi with me."

Lideran and Cerrosbi?

Why would Harrison need those specific herbs?

Though not a medical professional, Isabella sensed something significant about this request. The elevator reached its destination, but Isabella stayed behind, canceling her original plan.

She needed to find out what these herbs meant. If they represented some weakness of Harrison's, she could use that to her advantage.

Isabella quickly dialed the Whitmore family's private physician. "Dr. Kinsman, I need information. What are Lideran and Cerrosbi used for?"

The doctor's voice came through clearly. "Of course, Miss Whitmore. How may I assist you?"
