Chapter 118

Isabella was grateful for Nathan's kindness, but her way of repaying him was through small and consistent acts of kindness. Since then, she became very caring towards Nathan. He came home, and she would immediately hand him his slippers. When he got drunk, she would learn to cook sobering soup for him. When he fell ill and had a fever, the maids in the house would try their best to avoid contact with him in a very tactful and subtle manner, but only Isabella was not afraid of getting infected. She foolishly took care of him every day, undressing him and attending to his needs. When he had a car accident, she even went to the temple, devoutly kneeling before the Buddha and earnestly begging the high monk to bless him with a consecrated amulet.
