Fated Marriage Spoiled by My Ice Billionaire novel Chapter 461

Chapter 461 Hospital Vigil

Evelyn gave her some sugar water and fanned her gently.

“We should get her to a hospital,” Anthony said.

Bonita spoke up, “I’ll bring the car around!”

Evelyn and Emily said in unison, “We can’t lift her on our own.”

Isabelle looked toward Anthony and said, “Anthony.”

After a brief pause, Anthony bent down, gathered Daisy into his arms without hesitation, and headed for the door.

Bonita drove while Isabelle sat in the passenger seat. Anthony was in the back, holding Daisy steady, his gaze fixed on the side of her neck.

There was a tiny red birthmark.

It was her.

Anthony reached out and brushed her hair aside, his thumb gently grazing over that small mark.

It really was her.

Isabelle happened to glance back and caught the motion.

Anthony quickly withdrew his hand.

“Is she going to be okay?” Isabelle asked.

“Her pulse is thready. They’ll give her some fluids at the hospital, and she should come around after a day or two of rest,” Anthony replied, looking down at her. “Did anyone call her brother?”

“Already did,” Isabelle said.

Anthony nodded.

In his arms, Daisy furrowed her brows, trying but failing to open her eyes. She stirred restlessly, breathing in shallow, uncomfortable pants.

The car’s air conditioning was on full blast, and the windows were down.

She reached out and clutched a fistful of Anthony’s suit jacket.

“I feel awful…” she managed to force out the words.

It felt like her head was splitting, her breathing grew more ragged, and she couldn’t seem to get enough air.

“Take slow breaths. Try not to move.”

Anthony’s calm, measured voice reached her, and she seemed to understand, trying to follow his instruction.

When they arrived at the hospital, she was taken straight to the emergency triage area. Isabelle couldn’t keep up with Anthony’s long strides, and Bonita had gone to park the car.

Anthony placed her on a gurney in the ER, but Daisy’s hand was still tightly fisted in his jacket, refusing to let go.

His phone kept vibrating in his pocket.

With no other choice, he slipped out of the jacket and draped it over her

A nearby nurse quickly began checking her vitals and fired off a few questions to Anthony about her condition.

Anthony didn’t know much–only that she hadn’t eaten all morning and had been working outside in the heat since dawn.

The nurse seemed to piece it together and drew the curtain around the bed, asking him to wait outside.

He stood in the hallway just as Isabelle caught up, slightly breathless.

“How is she?” Isabelle asked.

“She should be fine,” Anthony replied, gesturing for her to take a seat in the waiting area.

That’s a relief,” Isabelle said, wiping her sweaty palms on her jeans. The scare had gotten to her.

“When is her family getting here?” Anthony asked.

“Should be any minute. Her brother was already on the road when I called. I told him to come straight to the ER.”

“I need to go,” Anthony said.

He didn’t want too many people to see him or to know he was the one who had carried her in. His current… situation wasn’t something he wanted scrutinized.

“Alright,” Isabelle replied.

Anthony stood and walked toward the exit.

Isabelle noticed he’d left his jacket behind.

As Anthony walked out through the automatic doors, he accidentally bumped shoulders with a man rushing in.

“Excuse me!” the man said, flustered, as he hurried past.

Anthony glanced back, gave a slight, almost imperceptible nod, and instantly recognized him–it was Daisy’s father.

He had a vague memory of him from years ago.

He watched the man’s retreating back for a brief moment before turning to leave.

“Mr. Clark,” Isabelle called out, standing up as she spotted Adrian Clark looking around anxiously near the nurse’s station.

Isabelle recognized Adrian from Joseph’s bar opening, when he had stopped by briefly.

“Isabelle,” Adrian said, his face lined with worry as he walked over. “Where’s Daisy? How is she?”

The doctor is with her now. It’s heat exhaustion, combined with low blood sugar. She was already starting to come around on the ride over. It doesn’t seem serious.”

Adrian let out a slow, relieved breath and said softly, “Thank you. I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“No trouble at all. Daisy and I are friends,” Isabelle replied.

Adrian nodded, his expression softening.

He remembered how infatuated Daisy had been with Damian years ago–so much that she’d adopt whatever hobbies he was into.

When she first started her advertising firm, she’d gone to great lengths to try and land Damian’s company as a client, doing all sorts of research beforehand.

For years, she’d reach out to Damian periodically, trying to offer comfort or company, but Damian had been a fortress of ice, keeping everyone at a firm distance.

When she found out Damian had gotten married, she was devastated for weeks. It might have seemed like an overreaction to some, but she eventually pulled herself together and channeled everything into her work.

The day Adrian saw Isabelle standing beside Damian, he understood exactly why Damian had chosen her..

Daisy simply hadn’t stood a chance next to someone like Isabelle.

Thankfully, they’d all managed to remain civil–unlike some of the other socialites who thrived on drama and vendettas.

Today, Daisy had fallen ill at Isabelle’s studio, and it was Isabelle and her team who had brought her to the hospital.

It seemed they got along even better than he’d assumed.

Around noon, Damian and Diana arrived.

Damian had originally planned to pick Isabelle up from the studio for lunch, but when she texted that she was at the hospital–the message cutting off mid–sentence—he had dropped everything and rushed over.

Diana came as soon as she heard the news, and once she arrived, Bonita headed back to manage the studio.

After a quick, polite greeting to Adrian, Damian sat down beside Isabelle, his presence immediately a steadying force.
