Isabella didn't even have time to object. By the next day when she found out, Eisner had arranged everything.
In a weak voice, she said, "Eisner, my leg hurts so much. Although I miss the little werewolf cub very much, can't we rest for a few more days?"
But Eisner refused, "It's better to go home earlier. Isabella, bear with it. The family's medical conditions are better."
His words were gentle, but there was no room for Isabella to refuse.
"What about Lucy? Aren't you going to pick her up from the hospital and go home together?"
Eisner said in a low voice, "She's already gone back."
Isabella's lowered eyes were filled with gloom again. She knew it. It was still Lucy.
Clearly, she was the heroine of this world, but because of Lucy, the plot had deviated from the track again and again just like in her previous life.
Thinking of the cruel things Eisner had done to her after Lucy's death in her previous life,
Isabella couldn't help but shiver. She secretly swore in her heart that this time, she would never repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

Far away in her hometown, Lucy sneezed.
Her older brother in the family quickly handed her a shawl.
"Lucy, you've been away from home for five years. Father and I have been extremely worried in the clan. You've come back all injured, and you won't tell us anything. And now you've arranged a marriage alliance. It's hard to explain on the phone. Now that you're back, explain it to me properly."
"You've loved Eisner since childhood. Why are you suddenly going to marry Victor?"
Lucy was rendered speechless by his questions.
The Atlant family was a well - respected family in the territory, and its family relationships were simple.
Her father loved her mother deeply. After her mother died giving birth to her younger sister, he and her older brother had spoiled Lucy to the heavens.
They had never been willing to say a single harsh word to her.
Both her father and brother knew that Lucy loved Eisner.
In their opinion, for their Lucy to fall in love with Victor, that mysterious werewolf, was a blessing that Victor had accumulated over several lifetimes.
But this time when Lucy came back home, she was not only injured all over, but also suddenly going to marry Victor.
Who was Victor? He was away from home most of the time, and his family's power was extremely complex.
Her family didn't care about wealth. They only hoped that their descendants would be happy. Victor's family was too complicated, and he wasn't a good choice.
Before Lucy could say a word, the door of the ward was pushed open.
"Don't ask Lucy. The marriage alliance was my request."
Lucy and her older brother both turned their heads towards Victor, who had just walked in.
There was a faint smile on his lips, and his voice was slightly hoarse but gentle.
"I've been in love with Lucy for many years. Marrying her is my wish."
Victor walked up to Lucy's bedside in a few steps and looked seriously at her older brother.
"Now that Lucy is willing to marry me, all the obstacles are not a problem."
"Brother, I know what you're worried about. I'll solve all those problems. I'll visit the clan chief at a proper time. Also, please convey to the clan chief that I love Lucy very much. We'll definitely be happy together in the future. Please let him rest assured."
Her older brother was silenced by Victor's words.
Lucy got goosebumps all over her body. She only thought in her heart: It's too early to call him "Brother".
But then she heard Lucy say to him, "Brother, please go out first. I have something to say to Victor."
Lucy had a lot of questions in her heart. She couldn't ask a single word about her previous life.
But she still wanted to ask him why he wanted to marry her.
Her older brother shook his head helplessly and left the space for the two of them.
Lucy looked at Victor, who was standing beside her, smiling at her.
The last time she saw him was in her previous life. It seemed like a long time ago, but it felt like it was just yesterday.
But before she could open her mouth, Victor's gentle voice rang out again.
"Are you also going to ask me the reason for the marriage alliance?"
"Everything I said just now is true, Lucy. I've had a crush on you for many years. Can this be a reason?"
