Chapter 136: The Weight of Silence

Even though he was not at fault for this. But he still had to keep quiet. After all, he used Isabella as a test just to see if what he wanted was going to work perfectly. Only for him to be saying something else. Only for Alex to be angry about it. And that pissed him off badly. But he tried his best to hold his anger.

After all, his trial had worked successfully. It was just that Isabella's soul was being so stubborn and did not want to come back to the world, and that annoyed him. He knew the kind of stress he passed through just to make it successful and then how he tried to make her come back to reality. But still, she….she feigned stubbornness and did not want to come, altering all his methods just to revive her. And that alone annoyed him so very much.

He looked at Alex and quickly had a wide smile on his face.

“You don't have to worry. Nothing is going to go wrong, okay? She would wake up. It is just her being stubborn. And I promise you if she doesn't, you can do anything you want to do to me. But I know she will wake up. It is just there. It is there. I can see it. She would. She would wake up. I promise. Please, just believe me this once. Please trust in me and believe in me,” he said to Alex as Alex groaned in annoyance, not knowing what he was going to do. He didn't even know how he was going to face Isabella's mom if Isabella did not wake up by the end of the day. He walked closer to the doctor and whispered,

“I need her awake. I need her to be awake, and that is a very crucial thing for me. What are we going to do if she does not come to gain her consciousness? Do you even know what I'm going to face? I might be taken to jail. Her dad has threatened me. I have no choice,” Alex said, hoping that the doctor would understand.

But the doctor placed both his hands together in a pleading way and said,

“I am so sorry. But that's just it. I will try my best to revive her in a few hours' time when her brain has taken a very good rest. Aside from that, there's nothing else I can do. I would do everything. Just believe in me.”

The doctor promised Alex again as Alex nodded.

“I don't care. Anything that fucking wants to happen should happen. After all, I can't predict what would happen. I tried my best. I am just doing what I think is right. For Isabella's happiness. She felt frustrated not being able to remember anything, and I did what I had to do. If they want to hate on me, let them continue, continue hitting on me. That is the best I could do, after all,” he said angrily and then stormed out to get a drink or something. He just had to leave the hospital premises; he was already feeling so frustrated.

Meanwhile, James was still hiding there, watching Isabella's mom cry her eyes out and Trisha slowly dripping tears from her eyes. Even Rachel had her fingers in her mouth as she bit on it, shivering, feeling scared.

“What if she loses Isabella? What if Lily later wins after everything they had to pass through? What if Lily gets to be a free person and Isabella just dies like that?” she thought to herself as James was refusing to accept this.

“I need to see Isabella. I don't know. I don't care if there's a way you can sneak me in, just find a way, sneak me in. I need to talk to her. It is very, very, very important,” he said to Rachel as Rachel looked at him even more shocked.

“I can't do that. I can't sneak you in. That is unacceptable. I can't do it. I don't know how I'm gonna cope with doing that. Please find another way. Find another solution. I cannot do it. I beg you,” Rachel began to plead as James held her shoulder, staring deep into her eyes.

“I know you can do it. I know for sure that you will be able to do it. Please help me. You are all I have. You are all I ask. Please sneak me in. I don't care. Distract them. I don't know, just keep them waiting. Make sure none of them come in till I am done talking to Isabella. I know she's not conscious, but I just want to see her again. I feel like I can do something. I feel like being able to tap into her thoughts would really help things and make things faster for us. I don't want to watch Isabella going through all these things and I can't even do a thing for her. Please help me. Just do this for me,” he pleaded with Rachel as she immediately nodded.

“Fine. I'm agreeing to this because I want Isabella to be happy, and I know that if you get to talk to her, then this will go perfectly for the both of you. And of course, I'm rooting for you too. But please be careful. If you hear anybody coming, find a way to hide. Find a way to hide. I don't want to be pointed out as the bad person. I repeat, I don't want to be a bad person,” she insisted as James nodded, hugging her one more time.

“Thank you so, so much. I can't even explain how glad I am that you are ready to help me,” James added, and then instantly he made up his plan. Rachel was to distract the family and start acting emotional and start crying. Of course, Tricia would not be glad to see her pretending and would want to attack her. That would be the way to distract them, and same thing for Alex. Immediately Alex came, she was meant to distract him too.

James raced towards the back entrance just to get to Isabella's ward. Thankfully for him, Isabella's ward was adjacent to a corner before you got there so the parents and everybody waiting there would not see him. As he finally found his way to the front of the hospital, he looked through the transparent hole at the door and saw Isabella depending on the life machine as she laid there lifeless.

He slowly opened the door and wore the face mask, which was compulsory before slowly walking towards her. As he took his seat beside her, holding her hand, they were all cold, which gave him a frightening feeling. Hope nothing was going to happen to her, he thought.
