Chapter 23: Alexander’s
Threat
“Ms. Sterling, even I am at a loss with Master Windsor’s condition. You…”
Mr. Hawthorne’s tone was polite, considering Isabella was personally brought by Alexander.
Though he served as Master Windsor’s personal physician, he was still, in
essence, a servant.
“Your inability to cure him only shows a lack of skill on your part,” Isabella retorted sharply.
She had intended to keep her medical knowledge a secret, but her conscience wouldn’t allow her to ignore someone in need
By not intervening, she felt it would be akin to condemning Master Windsor to death.

Mr. Hawthorne, having practiced medicine for many years, had never had his expertise challenged, especially not by someone as seemingly inexperienced as Isabella.
“Ms. Sterling, I understand you’re a distinguished guest brought by Mr. Alexander, but I have been managing Master Windsor’s health for years. I am most familiar with his condition. If we continue with my treatment, Master Windsor could live for a few
more years. But if you proceed recklessly and prescribe the wrong medication, causing complications, can you bear that responsibility?”
Mr. Hawthorne, having served Master Windsor loyally for years, placed Master/Windsor’s life above his own and would not tolerate any risks from an outsidek,

complexion had worsened since coughing up blood.
Isabella, maintaining her composure, patiently responded, “Continuing with your old methods, Master Windsor might indeed survive for the time being, but it would merely be a matter of clinging to life. Master Windsor is a general who has made significant contributions to our country. Do you really want to see him spend his remaining years bedridden?”
Master Windsor, observing from the sidelines, was subtly impressed by Isabella.
Despite her youth, her words were not those of an ordinary young girl. He found himself increasingly fond of her.
Isabella understood him well. Having spent a lifetime in military service, he had always been strong–willed.

The thought of spending his final years
in a state of mere existence was worse
than death to him.
“Let’s do as Isabella suggests,” Master Windsor finally said, his voice growing increasingly hoarse.
At his declaration, Mr. Hawthorne hesitated before cautioning, “Master Windsor, your status is paramount. Should anything go awry, it could lead to chaos!”
“Barnaby, you’ve worked hard these
years, and I appreciate your efforts. But I know my own condition. Let Isabella try. I’ve lived through many storms; I’ve had enough.”
Master Windsor’s tone was remarkably
calm and measured.
Isabella was moved by his trust. It was their first meeting, and logically, someone of Master Windsor’s stature shouldn’t have trusted her so readily.

Yet, he did.
Master Windsor gently patted
Isabella’s hand in a comforting gesture,
like a caring elder reassuring a
younger family member.
“Go ahead with confidence, and thank
you.”
Aware of his dwindling time, Master Windsor was ready to take a chance. He had sensed an inexplicable kinship with Isabella from the moment they met, believing she wouldn’t harm him.
As Isabella stood to leave the hall, Alexander followed and stopped her. Looking up, Isabella met his dark, penetrating gaze, her brow furrowing slightly.
“Mr. Alexander, do you also doubt me?”
Alexander’s response was a cold laugh. Should he trust this woman, whose very identity remained a mystery to him?
