Chapter 100: Manipulative Plans

Yes, everything had now settled, and of course, Beatrice and Rachel were very scared for Lily, thinking that Lily was going to crumble and be unable to even get back to herself as James had already harassed her in such a way that she never expected. Yes, she was madly in love with James, but she never expected James to treat her this way. That was all Rachel and Beatrice could think about. 

But the minute Lily stepped in and the door was shut, Rachel was about to stretch her hands towards Lily to comfort her when Lily jumped up in excitement. 

“Yes, yes! This was all I wanted! I don't know, should I go and lick that nurse's feet because she did a perfect job? This was exactly what I wanted!” She began to yell as Beatrice and Rachel looked at each other in confusion. 

“What do you mean by this is what you wanted? James just came here right now and harassed you badly, and yet you are jumping, claiming that was what you wanted?” they questioned her as she looked at both of them and unexpectedly hugged them both tightly. Rachel was even about to choke, feeling very confused. 

“Why are you so happy about James harassing you this way?” Beatrice questioned. 

“I really—” Lily let go of them, still having a very wide smile on her face. She began to chuckle from within, unable to hold it in. 

“Do you know what just happened? Do you even know how happy I am? Don't you even get it? Don't you get what is going on right now? Isabella remembers nothing. I would not be jailed for any terms. She won't ever remember anything. You know what the nurse told me, right? She would forget forever, forget her memories, and instead start afresh. Now I can have James to myself. Yes, James can't threaten me now, but he should just wait until I try to win his heart back. He will never be able to escape it!” Lily said to Beatrice and Rachel as they were both confused. 

“What do you mean you can get James back? We all heard what James said. He said you can never have him. His heart still belongs to Isabella, and he had literally told Isabella that he loved her. What if his words to Isabella bring back her memories?” Rachel questioned as Lily coughed, rolling her eyes at Rachel. 

“Do you really think that's how easy and that's how fake the nurse Mercy is? I had also doubted Mercy. But she told me it would work. She would forget everything, and she would not even have flashbacks of anything. And of course, as a good girl that I am, I fed her more than enough herbs. She won't even have the chance of remembering anything,” Lily assured them as Rachel and Beatrice scoffed. 

“I just hope it stays that way. So are you going to inform the nurse that her medicine works perfectly and maybe apprehend her and appreciate her for her good work?” Rachel questioned as Lily laughed. 

“Of course I'm going to go and tell her how happy I am and how her drugs work perfectly. I just can't wait to tell her the good news. In short, I am more excited than anybody!” Lily said. 

She picked up her bag, which was hung at a corner, and hung it around her neck. 

“We have to go now. I have to talk to the nurse. I need more medicine. I need to slowly feed Isabella more medicine until she becomes no different from a dummy, in short, from a newborn baby,” Lily said, and Rachel was unable to hold it back as she held Lily angrily. 

“No, you can't do that. You have done a lot. Isabella literally now is like a dummy. She doesn't remember anything. She doesn't even remember anything about me or anybody. She doesn't even remember her own mom, okay? And they're trying their best to keep this information as discreet as possible so it won't spread and it won't get to her parents. You know how it would be. You know how everything is going to go. You know how everything will backfire on Alex. You can just at least keep her this way and don't make things worse,” Rachel said as Lily kissed and flung Rachel's hand away. 

“You can't tell me what to do, and you can't tell me whether or not I should do what I decide to do. I am going to do it, and there is nothing you are going to do. She is going to become a dummy, and I don't care if her parents ever get to hear about it. In short, I will be more excited if Alex's life gets worse than it already is. I don't mind going to the extreme just to see Alex crumble. After all, he was the one who made me look like a fool. He was the one carrying Isabella on his head like she was the only person in the whole world. I'm just trying to teach them a lesson, nothing more. I am not trying to make things unbearable for him; I'm just going to add a little bit more spice to it to make it more interesting!” Lily threatened. 

As she was about to walk away, Rachel laughed, trying to get Lily's attention as Lily turned around. 

“What has gotten over you, Rachel? Why are you just trying to interfere one way or the other? You can see that my plans are going perfectly just as we prayed for. Then why are you still trying to intervene?” she questioned as Rachel scoffed again. 

“That is just enough with you! It is enough with the craziness! Craziness over Isabella! What you have done to Isabella is already enough. You doing more is just going to make everything more hectic for her. Let her be! Let this girl live her life! At least now, she's starting afresh. Give her that chance. Concentrate on James and let her be. I beg you!” Rachel said, hoping that Lily would change her mind. 

But Lily did not even answer her, did not even respond to the words she just said, and instead marched towards the door. She opened the door, and the first person she saw was Tricia. 

Tricia was standing right there with her hands folded. 

“I heard everything, and I have called the police. They are coming,” Tricia immediately uttered as Rachel and Beatrice quickly hid for their lives while Lily just stood there, not knowing whether she should believe her, whether she should run away, or even attack her.
