Chapter 733 - Seven Hundred And Thirty-three: Investigate Her Yourself (1/2)
The third point of view:
”Are you asleep?” Anabelle asked Isabella. They were both sleeping on the luxurious VIP hospital bed and had their backs turned to each other.
After the tearful ice-cream session, the both of them hadn't spoken to each other and Isabella made it clear she didn't want to be disturbed. Moreover, her cousin has encountered so many stressful experiences today she needed rest.
”Ummm,” was Isabella's reply even though those asleep didn't speak.
”Are you really going to go ahead with the wedding?” Anabelle was curious about that one. Isabella was really strong, if she was in her shoes and Julie was the one with Pedro's problems, she would have left him a long time ago. A woman having a child for him was another problem on its own that she couldn't handle.
”Yeah,” Isabella answered without even thinking.
”Even when that other woman is having his child?”
”Yeah,”
”Won't you feel bothered?”
”She's only having his child, not Pedro,”
”What if your parents strongly disagree when they find out the truth which they will,” She reminded Isabella of the trials ahead of her. This was not going to be an easy one.
”Nobody would make decisions for me. I'm old enough to make my own decisions and bear the consequences,” Isabella was firm.
”You know that I'm just worried about you,” Anabelle had a concerned look.
”You don't have to worry about me. I'm a strong woman and I've gone through worse, this little incident won't bring me down,” she told her.
Anabelle drew closer so that they were sharing body heat, ”You know when we were little, I used to envy you. It's quite funny, I used to wish I'd be unmovable and badass as you who had the great ability to control her emotions. But now, I just wish you would let go of everything, Isabella. Those emotions you keep bottled inside would burst open one day. Even if you don't want to do it for yourself, do it for the sake of your baby,”
”Thanks for the prep talk, Anabelle, you've always been a great motivational speaker,” Isabella said without emotion, ”Now if you would excuse me, I need to sleep. It's important for the baby,”
Anabelle didn't say and just gave up, her cousin was impossible. Although Isabella cried while eating their ice cream, those were just crocodile tears compared to the grieve she knew Isabella was feeling inside.
Isabella was just about to close her eyes and try to catch a sleep but her phone rang at that moment. Great, just when she decides to sleep and everyone does the opposite.
”Hello Niklaus,” she said with a tinge of annoyance in her voice.
”Eden just called me, says you're at the hospital. How is that possible, aren't you supposed to be discharged already? Is there anything going on that you're not telling me, Isabella?” Niklaus fished for more details. He could sense it, Isabella was keeping something from him.
”Yes, I'm still at the hospital and I'm at the hospital because I want to be in the hospital, and no, nothing's going on,” She lied to him.
