Chapter 353 Nora Was Worried About Him and Went Home Overnight to See Him
Nora sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go back tomorrow then. You take care and have a rest. Your health is important."
Isaac replied softly, "Have a good rest."
After hanging up the phone, Isaac looked at his phone with a gloomy expression, feeling full of guilt.
"Nora, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. I'm really scared."
Isaac put away his phone, went to the liquor cabinet to get a few bottles of alcohol, and returned to his room. He didn't turn on the light, sitting alone by the window, drinking in silence.
On the other side, after hanging up the phone, Nora started packing her luggage.
She didn't listen to Isaac's suggestion to go back tomorrow; she was eager to return immediately.
Isaac's tone on the phone didn't seem right, and she was worried about him.
Driving at night was dangerous, but as long as she was careful and drives slowly, nothing would happen.
Since Isaac wasn't around tonight, Magnus followed Mortimer to his room after returning to the hotel.
Nora dared to take risks alone but didn't want to get Magnus involved.
Before leaving with her luggage, she sent a message to Mortimer: [Mortimer, I have an urgent matter tonight and need to return to the city. Please take care of Magnus for me tonight. Thank you.]
[Please tell Magnus that I left because of an urgent matter, not because I don't want him or will abandon him.]
Not long after sending the message, Nora's phone rang.
It was Mortimer calling.
Nora answered the phone.
"Nora, what's going on? Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Mortimer asked worriedly.
Nora hesitated for a few seconds but decided to tell the truth, "It seems like something happened to Isaac. I need to go back and check on him."
Mortimer fell silent instantly.
Nora said urgently, "I can't talk now. I'm at the parking lot. I have to go."
Mortimer said urgently, "Wait, don't hang up. Wait for me. I'll go back with you."
Nora worriedly said, "It's not safe to drive at night. I'm concerned..."
Mortimer said softly, "I'll drive. It's okay. Didn't you often drive home at night before?"
Nora wanted to say that it's different.
Driving slowly in the city was not that dangerous even if there's a collision.
But they needed to take a highway to get back, which was more dangerous than regular roads.
Mortimer said, "Even if you don't take me, I'll take Magnus and get a cab back tonight. It's better if we go together so you can take care of Magnus."
In the end, Nora had to compromise.
She sighed helplessly and drove the car from the parking lot to the hotel entrance.
After a while, Mortimer came out of the hotel with Magnus.
Nora got out of the driver's seat and helped Mortimer put the luggage in the trunk.
Magnus was very sleepy, walking unsteadily with his eyes barely open.
Nora got into the back seat, holding Magnus.
Mortimer got into the driver's seat and, while driving, asked Nora worriedly, "You said on the phone that something happened to Isaac? What happened? Is it serious?"
Nora shook her head, "I don't know the specifics, but his voice on the phone didn't sound right. I'm worried, so I thought I'd go back and check on him."
Mortimer pressed his lips tightly, gripping the steering wheel hard.
She rushed back in the middle of the night to check on Isaac him only to hear Isaac's voice sounding off and guessed that something might be wrong.
Isaac's place in her heart was growing more significant, as if they had returned to the time before anything happened, caring deeply for each other, getting anxious over the slightest sign of trouble.
Mortimer exhaled a deep breath and didn't speak again.
Mortimer drove the car to Isaac's villa entrance.
Nora got out of the car with Magnus and said to Mortimer, "I'll find someone to drive you back. He'll bring the car back later."
Mortimer nodded.
Nora carried Magnus into the villa, and soon a bodyguard came out, got in the car, and drove Mortimer home.
After entering the villa, Nora took Magnus to his room and gently placed him on the bed.
Magnus slept soundly, not noticing the change in his sleeping place.
After tucking Magnus in, Nora went upstairs to her room.
She opened the door and entered.
The room was pitch dark, but as soon as she opened the door, a strong smell of alcohol hit her.
Her heart sank.
Isaac was indeed in trouble.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be drinking alone in the room.
Nora was afraid that turning on the main light would hurt his eyes, so she only turned on a warm lamp.
The dim warm yellow light dispelled the darkness in the room, and Nora saw Isaac sitting on the floor by the window.
Empty bottles were scattered around him.
Nora hurried over, snatched the bottle from his hand, and angrily scolded, "Isaac, you're an adult. Don't you know how to take care of your body? Don't you know that drinking is harmful? Stop drinking!"
Occasional drinking was fine, but Isaac often drunk recklessly, several bottles at a time. Drinking like this would definitely cause problems.
There were six or seven empty bottles on the floor. Even if he didn't get alcohol poisoning, he could be overfilled!
This fool didn't know how to take care of himself!
"Why are you back?" Isaac looked at Nora with drunken eyes, taking several seconds to recognize her, and asked drunkenly.
Nora didn't answer.
She picked up the empty bottles on the floor and was about to take away the half-finished bottle from Isaac's hand.
But Isaac suddenly reached out to grab it.
"Give me that. I still want to drink."
Nora slapped his hand away forcefully and glared at him, "No more drinking. If you drink again, I'll hit you!"
Isaac suddenly grabbed her hand and slapped it against his face, "Yes, hit me. Hit me."
If Nora hit him, he could feel less guilty.
Hit him.
Even if it was to death.
Nora was startled and quickly pulled her hand back, "What are you doing?"
Isaac grabbed her hand again, slapping it against his face, "Please hit me. I beg you to hit me."
Isaac's eyes were red, filled with tears, looking very fragile.
"Isaac, calm down. Don't hurt yourself. What happened? Calm down and talk to me. We'll figure it out together. You can't hurt yourself."
Nora tried to soothe Isaac's emotions.
But Isaac was very agitated.
When Nora asked him to talk about the problem, Isaac's eyes avoided hers, seemingly very resistant, not wanting her to know what happened.
Nora hugged him and said seriously, "If you don't want to talk, you don't have to. I won't force you. But I believe you have the ability to solve the problem. But first, you need to calm down and be clear-headed to have the ability to solve it."
