Chapter 111: Isabella’s Past

Sitting in the car, Isabella was a bit sad due to the fact that she was going to have to return back to the police station again, which seemed kind of hectic for her as she did not want to go back there again. But she couldn't help it as she looked at Alex, who stared at her. 

"No worry. We have found the solution for all your illnesses, and you'll become perfectly alright again. You will be just the way you were before. I still don't understand why you don't want it. Why do you seem so saddened by the fact that you are going to get back all the memories you lost? Don't you want to have the memories with your mom anymore? With me, with everyone, with your friends, everything? Don't you want it back? Don't you even want to remember how Rachel betrayed you?" 

Alex questioned. But she still did not say a word and instead just sat there. 

"I don't know how to explain this to you, but I don't want it. I don't want anything. I just want to be the way I am right now. Just the way I am. It is peaceful. I might not remember your name or how we met and how I fell in love with you, but I just want it this way. I am much more satisfied like this. Please don't let it get worse. Don't let it change from what it is. I just want to be like this. I beg you." 

She pleaded with Alex, but yet he did not agree. 

"I cannot do that. I can't watch you pass through all that. I can't watch you pass through all that pain. Do you know how it aches my heart to know that you don't even remember anything? You don't remember me when I tell you how much I love you. I can't even prove it. Do you even know how it hurts?" 

He questioned her as she laughed. 

"I know how it hurts. It hurts me too. But I prefer it that way. I just want it to be like that. I don't want a situation whereby I have to fight for your love and I have to remember any bad thing I had done to you. I feel like I have done you great injustice. A kind of injustice that I can never do to anybody. I have done it to you and it shatters my heart to always remember that. Please don't let me go back to the way we used to be." 

She said to him as he laughed. 

"Do not worry. Nothing like that will ever happen. Fine, fine. We'll go and check on the so-called expert that is going to help me remember everything, but just know I just want to be the way I am and I won't change. Even though I remember everything, I just want to be this simple. I want my life to be this simple. I don't even mind you letting Lily go. I really don't care. I just want to be at peace. I beg you, please don't let this get any more difficult than it already is." 

She pleaded with Alex as he nodded. 

"Do not worry. I won't let anything disturb you and I won't let anything get in the way of your peace of mind. I just want you to at least have memories of your mom back, memories of your dad. I want all those memories flooding back to your mind. That is all that matters to me. And I promise I would not pester you to tell me anything. Even if you have done something wrong, I won't investigate more. I know what James tried to do to you is what is still coming back to you, and that is why you feel like you have done injustice to me. But you have not done any injustice to me." 

Alex said, and it pissed her off even more. 

"Stop it. Stop saying that you haven't done any injustice. I haven't done anything. Why do you continue to paint me as the innocent one? Why do you make me seem like I am the one who has not done anything? Meanwhile, I am the worst. Why do you even love me? Why do you love me despite everything I've done to you? Why?" 

Isabella yelled at Alex as he stayed calm. 

"You did nothing to me. Do not accuse yourself of ever doing anything to me because I would not accept it. You are still the perfect and best person I ever had in my life. Even in a thousand lifetimes, I would still choose you. I would still want you and nothing else." 

While Isabella was still contemplating whether or not she should get her memories back, Lily was already going crazy. No different from a mad person. As Mirabel and James stood at the corner watching her, she was still being investigated by the police, but yet she did not utter a word and Isabella's parents were not ready to give up. 

"This girl is not leaving here until she says the truth. You can't just tell me that she's innocent. She is not innocent. I have seen her before. My daughter has told me a lot about her and I know for sure she's a very dangerous person. She is not going to leave this place and just walk around scot-free while my daughter continues to suffer years of memory loss. That would never happen." 

Isabella's mom yelled as Mirabel tried to walk to calm her down, but she was not even listening at all.  

Lily turned to Isabella's mom angrily and laughed like a maniac. 

"You really think your daughter is a saint, right? I am the only crazy one here who did something bad to your daughter. Why don't you try giving her back her memories and let her tell you how she made my own life miserable? I warned her, but she never listened. Don't tell me that I don't know what I am doing. Do you understand?" 

She yelled at them. But Isabella's parents were ready to know what exactly Lily was talking about. Even though Lily had repeatedly said this, nobody had actually questioned her to ask her. 

"What exactly did Isabella do?" 

This was now the moment for them to finally find out.
