Chapter 76: Not Fully Settled

It seems as though Jane's mind had already told him that Lily was already planning to say the truth, that Lily could not hold it in anymore and she was just looking for a little reason for her to say everything out to everyone. As James finished whatever he was doing in the bedroom, in the toilet, he quickly ran outside and at that moment he saw Lily about to utter words that she was not supposed to utter out.

And immediately he rushed towards Lily and held her hand as he signaled for her to keep silent. Lily looked at him and hissed before standing up as she walked away to a corner where she was told to sit down earlier. But because she wanted to tell all the truth to Alex, she came back to that seat and immediately, James was able to stop.

Immediately James was able to stop Lily from saying any useless words, Alex's phone began to ring loudly. He picked it up and it was his mom.

“Alex rushed to the hospital. Isabella just gained consciousness.”

Alex said as he immediately bulged up. Even the seat where he was sitting was told to the ground as everyone's attention was fixed on him, even the police, and he did not want anyone to know. He did not want anyone to know that she had already gained consciousness or else even Lily would find a way to escape. But at the same time, he wanted Lily to know.

He wanted her to know that Isabella had gained consciousness and if she was lying, she would easily be able to get her without even waiting or thinking twice. He looked at everyone and then smiled.

Immediately, Alex had made his decision that he was going to let everyone know that Isabella had gained consciousness due to his happiness. He couldn't help but smile before speaking.

“Isabella has finally gained consciousness. Now, Lily, it would all be known. Now would be the time for us to know whether or not you are going to be dealt with badly. Whether you are going to face judgment. And I know, of course, you would face judgment because you cannot escape from this. Even if you try your very best, you'll be caught in this. Just when you thought that the law was going to favor you, boom. Isabella gained consciousness and I am going to check up on her. You guys are not allowed to leave here until she is perfectly all right.”

Alex said boldly as the policeman clapped his hands.

“Wow. I am so happy for you. Congratulations. Your fiancée is finally awake. But guess what? It's late already and the police station is closing in a few minutes. Everyone is allowed to go back to their residences and to come back tomorrow. When they come back tomorrow, it will then be decided whether or not she is guilty and whether or not she has to face the penalty for her crimes. We all just have to wait till then. Meanwhile, do not force things and patiently watch. Patiently wait and see if you truly did it. I think it's a good thing now that your fiancée is awake because now we'll get to know if it was truly done or not.”

The policeman said as Lily could not help but smile.

“I am telling you the truth. I am even the happiest person right now because Isabella is awake. Do you know how happy it makes me to hear those words? I am just so glad I can't even wait so that she could finally tell you guys the truth that I did not feed her poison. I did not do anything like that.”

Lily said. And for some weird reason, she had this kind of new boldness, a kind that was not there before when she was being accused as Mirabel refused to agree to this.

“You can't just tell me that you are not involved in this because you were caught and you won't even be able to run away from it. You just have to watch and see. See, because you have been caught and I know that you are thinking maybe it only depends on who gave Isabella the food. You might have poisoned it because you know it will be given to her, and then it was fed to her by you. Stop acting like you are smart because you are not.”

Mirabel said angrily.

“Mirabel warned do not think you can escape or do not think it makes you any better just because she's awake. She might be awake and it turns out that she knew nothing. She… she might not even know the face of the person who fed her. But I promise you, you won't even be able to escape anything because I would make sure that you are dealt with badly. Not just in any simple way, but in a way that even you would regret why you ever tried or made the mistake of trying to go against her. I promise you it won't be as easy as you are imagining because even you won't be able to walk out of it untouched. And do not even feel happy for a minute. If you think you have escaped this, know that I am still there watching you. I am still behind you, ready to attack at any moment.”

Mirabel warned and without even waiting for Alex to lead the way, she stormed outside, leaving Alex there as he could not help but smile.

“I think you have heard from my sister and I know her words are final. Now it's up to you. Now it's up to you to tell the truth and I will give you from now to tomorrow.”

“Enjoy,” Alex said gladly as he skipped away, leaving everyone in utter shock.

Mirabel was so angry as she stood in front.

“I can't believe this because Isabella is awake and they are thinking they have an upper hand. They are literally trying to dictate for us. Aren't you even seeing it? They're taking advantage of the fact that Isabella is a gentle person. I cannot even imagine. I cannot start to imagine what she is passing through and here we are just having to suffer it all. I cannot wait. I just can't wait. Isabella,” Mirabel said.

“It's okay, sister. Okay. I promise you that nothing is going to happen to her. Please,” she said.

Alex assured Mirabel, who nodded.

“Let's go and check up on her. I can't even breathe right,” Mirabel said and just opened the car as she went in.
