Isabella had a touch of OCD. She felt anxious and hesitant before treating Seth.
However, when she noticed the position of the fishbone, she couldn’t bear to leave it
there.
Seth deeply regretted asking for her help. No matter what he said now, he couldn’t
convince her. He didn’t want to yell at her too much. It was a minor issue, and being too
serious would ruin his composure.
She continued to move forward. “Mr. Shaffer, please open your mouth.”
“I already said there’s no need.”
Seth propped himself up with his hands, maintaining a reclined position, showing his
avoidance. Isabella persisted, smiling and approaching with tweezers. However, Seth
saw her kind eyes as threatening.

Isabella stopped her movements and turned around to look at the door.
A man in a suit, appearing to be in his 40s, had a gentle expression. “Are you two trying

After saying this, he looked at Isabella and Seth with a strange expression.
Seth was reclining, showing resistance. Meanwhile, Isabella was pressing forward,
almost pushing him down. Their position seemed a bit inappropriate.
Isabella quickly reacted and stepped back. “Dr. Morris, right?”
Seth sat up straight with a cold expression, adjusting his clothes unhappily.
Archie Morris entered the room with a smile. When he saw the opened medical

equipment, he glanced at Isabella and then at Seth.
“Is it this gentleman who got choked by a fishbone?”
Isabella shook her head.
Archie was stunned. “Then who is it?”

Seth glanced at the clock on the wall. They had been fussing for almost 15 minutes.
Isabella noticed his expression and wisely reminded the doctor, “You should check on
him first.”
The doctor raised an eyebrow. “Okay.”
The difference between professionals and amateurs was evident. As soon as he put on
gloves and turned on the flashlight, a sense of security instantly spread like a beam of
light.

Seth tilted his head back. While the doctor removed the fishbone, he glanced at
isabella. His eyes were clear, showing disdain.
Isabella turned around and rolled her eyes, thinking it was his own fault for asking her
for help.
“It’s done.” The doctor stood

Isabella was shocked. “So fast?”
The doctor held up the tweezers, which had a thin fishbone on them. “It’s not a large
bone, so the damage is not severe.”
Isabella couldn’t help but touch her throat, starting to feel scared. She could feel the
size of the bone, and it shouldn’t be a minor issue.
Seth cleared his throat and coldly thanked the doctor. When he stood up, he noticed

Isabella’s movement.
He originally wanted to go downstairs directly, but now he suddenly didn’t want to
leave.
He put one hand in his pocket and gestured towards the couch with his lips. “Sit.”

Isabella was sensitive, and her first reaction was that this guy couldn’t possibly be this
friendly.
She sat down on the couch nervously but didn’t open her mouth immediately. Instead,
she looked at Seth.
“Mr. Shaffer, aren’t you going back first?”
Seth slightly lifted his chin. “There’s no rush.”

Isabella gritted her teeth, looked around, and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva in
pain.
Archie switched to another pair of tweezers, still maintaining a smile. “Come, open your
mouth.”
Isabella turned to the side to avoid Seth’s gaze and reluctantly opened her mouth.
“Ah…”
Her voice was loud, but the arc of her mouth opening was not large.
Just as Archie was about to remind her, Seth stepped forward and took a look.
“Heh, cavities.”
Isabella was speechless.

I knew he was up to no good.
She frowned and turned her body again, not letting Seth see.
Archie was helpless. “Open your mouth wide.”
“Ah…”
Archie shone the flashlight inside, scanning left and right, his eyebrows gradually
furrowing.
“The fishbone is quite large, and it’s lodged quite deep.”

Archie frowned. “Don’t be scared. Let me try first.”
Isabella suddenly felt confused.
That sounds familiar.
The sense of security brought by the white coat and rubber gloves vanished. She
couldn’t help but retreat, but Archie was professional. He always managed to lean
forward appropriately.
“Don’t move.”
Archie still had a smile on his face, then with the kindest eyes, he made his move.

Archie had an indifferent expression. “I’ve already located it. It’s not a major issue.”

Isabella thought to herself, You’re lying. If it’s not a major issue, why does it hurt?
Seth stood by, noticing Isabella grabbing Archie’s hand, and couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s the hold-up? It’s just a fishbone. Let go.”
Isabella sniffled, first releasing Archie but still shifting aside. She was haunted by
pain from just a moment ago.
“This won’t work.” Archie pondered for a moment, then turned to Seth nearby. “Sir, could

Seth raised an eyebrow.
