Chapter 74: The Same Case

As Alex still felt sad. All his attention was still fixed on Isabella because more than anything he wanted her to be awake. At least she should be awake and understand. Maybe if she had even told him who gave her the food, then it would be easier to know who did it. But instead, she has not even gained consciousness yet. 

“Mom, you should stay here with her. I would go to the police station. I would make sure Lily would admit to the truth that she is the one who tried to kill her own friend. Because I won't just let this go scot-free.” 

Alex said as he stood up. His mom nodded. 

“Do not worry. I will take good care of her. Meanwhile, make sure that Lily does not escape the law. No matter the kind of lawyer she brings. Make sure that yours is better. Make sure that she won't get the chance to even try to escape.”

Immediately, Alex stepped his foot outside the hospital. He raced towards his car and immediately drove off towards the house, as it seemed that the police had not yet arrived. As he had almost gotten home, he got a call from Mirabel telling him that the police had arrived and they were already taking Lily to the police station, which he had to meet up with. He immediately changed his route and followed the police station road straight, determined to make sure that Lily would tell the truth and that she wouldn't be able to escape justice.

As he got to the police station, he saw other cars, including his aunt's car, and he knew for sure that everybody was there. It was time for Lily to face her judgment. He came out of the car and slowly walked towards the police station, opening the door only to see that it was already crowded with all the family members. Lily was sitting on a chair, already crying and shivering at the same time. 

“I swear to you, police, I swear to you I didn't do anything. I swear to you. Yes, I hate her. Yes, I hate Isabella because she wanted to take one of my men from me. But that does not mean that I would do something like that to her. That does not mean I would try to kill her. I can't. I can't kill her. I can't do anything to her. I don't even have the heart for it. Who am I? Who am I to try to kill her? How dare I have that audacity? How dare I do something like that? I couldn't do it, I swear to you. Please believe me when I say I could not do it. Please just give me a chance. Give me one last chance to explain myself. Please. Search the house again. Find out. I don't even know who sells herbs. I don't even know anybody. If only Isabella could wake up, then she would tell you that I did not hand her any food. And yes, if that maid dies, it's not my fault because I did not kill her.” 

Lily pleaded as Alex felt anger and vengeance rise within him. Rushing towards Lily, he slammed his hand on the table, making the policemen immediately react as they pointed their guns at him. 

“How dare you just come here and knock things like that? Don't you know respect for the police station?” 

They yelled at him as he groaned and turned to the policemen. 

“You are telling me about respect when my girlfriend is dying because of this girl that you guys are giving a chance to still talk? She's supposed to be locked up by now. Locked up, with no way of escaping. And here you are, giving her a chance to explain. Who told you she would tell you the truth? Who exactly tells you that she will tell you the truth? Just because you think she would feed you with the truth? She won't feed you with any truth. She will continue to lie to you. I know her. I didn't mean, I don't know her. And I don't know the things she's capable of and what she could do to Isabella. Then I wouldn't have believed. Or maybe I would have considered it. But I know Lily. Okay? Up until the last minute before Isabella was unable to even breathe, she kept telling me that Lily was on her trail. Okay? She has always been telling me that Lily wants to kill her. And Lily, you succeeded, right? You succeeded in putting her in a coma, right? 

If she does not wake up by tomorrow morning, consider yourself a dead person. Because I would also kill you. So you will also be on a life machine trying to get your life back.” 

Alex yelled as Mirabel rushed to drag him back. 

“Brother, stop it! Stop it! You can't show your anger. This is the police station, okay? Calm down. They might use you as a victim too.” 

Mirabel tried to warn Alex, who was already very angry. 

“I don't care, okay? I don't care about anything. All I want is Isabella's well-being and Lily being behind bars,” 

he yelled at the policeman, who nodded with a fake smile. 

“Of course, we would work everything out. But we know that all fingers are pointed at this girl. But that does not mean she might have been the one to do it. Maybe somebody else is framing her. Maybe someone else knew that she hated Isabella, and that's why they did this to her. You have to calm down and let us investigate by ourselves. Do you understand?” 

They tried to plead with him as he laughed. 

“I don't understand, and I don't care, okay? I don't care about anything. So just get her behind bars!” 

Alex yelled as he sat down, trying to catch his breath. His aunt rushed toward him. 

“I never expected everything to come out this way. But you yelling like this, you supporting someone who might have even done wrong and of course, Lily clearly had the herbs in her bag. But what if she's not the one who did anything? You have to calm down, okay? You have to calm down.” 

She pleaded with Alex, whose attention was suddenly fixed on Professor James, who was making a call on his phone. Alex became even more furious.
