Chapter 83: A Smart Move

Hearing Isabella's words, telling them to come in, was what angered Tricia. “What exactly are you saying she should come for? You're not supposed to talk to her!” Tricia yelled as Isabella refused to accept.

“Do not worry; I will talk to her perfectly, and I will forgive her for whatever she did to me. It is not as bad as that, right? She just needs forgiveness. Fine, I would give her forgiveness,” Isabella said as Alex could not help but clench his fists. He knew that no matter what, Rachel would be able to find out that something was wrong with Isabella. She did not even believe that Isabella could do something like this. As she turned to Isabella, she used her head to signal for her to end everything and not let Rachel come into the ward.

But Isabella, who was just being naive, did not even raise her head to look at her at all. Rachel, who had finally gotten her chance, did not hesitate as she rushed into the room, and then Alex, having no choice, closed the door. Meanwhile, Alex's mom came to Alex.

“Don't worry, I need to go get her food, okay? And then you should try to get the car ready so we can take her with us,” Alex's mom whispered to Alex and then walked out, leaving only Alex and Tricia there with Rachel and Isabella. Even though what Alex wanted to do was actually urgent and he needed to do it, he would never leave Rachel in the same room with Isabella, though Tricia was there. And of course, Tricia would always stand up for Isabella. That did not mean he would ever leave her and just go, leaving her to deal with Rachel because he knew how conniving Rachel could be. She could even have a bomb planted beneath her, and nobody would even suspect her; instead, she would cover up and say she was just being a friend.

Alex stood beside the door as his mom closed it and watched Rachel take her seat beside Isabella. The first thing she did was hold onto Isabella's hand, but even before she could hold it tight, Isabella flung her hand away from Rachel. “Don't touch me like that. Don't think I am foolish because I allowed you to come inside here to see me. I just don't want it to be that later in the future, when I begin to point fingers for all the things you did to me, you would say you tried checking up on me but I never gave you the chance. Now you want to check up on me. I am giving you the chance, and I hope you enjoy it,” Isabella said to Rachel as Alex was instantly stunned. Same with Tricia.

Tricia could not help but smile at the fact that Isabella was so good at acting, acting like she never even lost anything. Yes, Tricia knew that a situation like this would come up, and one of them would want to see Isabella. So she immediately started to give Isabella all the details, mostly details on Rachel, so she could know who exactly she was trying to face.

She could not help but smile as she turned her face sideways and giggled silently before turning back to Isabella and Rachel as Rachel was stunned. “What did you just say? But you just allowed me to come in acting all nice to me. Why are you pushing me away like this? I care for you!” Rachel began to act emotional as Isabella hissed.

“I know what you did, okay? Don't look at me like maybe I lost my memory or something. Why are you acting like I'm supposed to forget everything you did? Or did you forget everything you did to me? Because if you did, then I did not,” Isabella said, being very, very serious. Despite the fact that she was weak, she was still acting strong, like she wasn't weak at all.

“Stop acting funny. I only let you in, and I won't tell you again. When you are done checking on me and seeing how I look physically, you can go ahead and gossip about it or tell everyone in the school about it, but I don't care. After today, don't come back to this ward. What am I even saying? I'm actually leaving today, so I don't think I want to see you again for the rest of my life. I never met a friend as awful as you, and I will continue to rant that until the day I die,” Isabella said to Rachel as she covered her mouth and stood up instantly, unable to take in what Isabella just said.

“How can you actually face me and say a word like this? How can you face me and say something like this? I have never done anything bad to you, okay? It was literally just making up words, making up lies so that I could be her friend, okay? You guys threw me out of the house. You guys acted like you didn't know me. You guys acted like you hated me just because of a little mistake because you believed what Lily said, and Lily is a liar! Lily is a liar!” Rachel yelled as Isabella laughed loudly, mostly in a wicked way.

“Lily is a liar, Lily is a liar, and so what? What am I supposed to do about it? What does that actually change? It changes nothing. If she's a fucking liar, then stick with her like that, okay? You forgot about that when you began to eavesdrop and tell her everything happening between the both of us. Get out! You have seen me now, so get the hell out of my world now!” Isabella yelled at her as she looked at everyone and then at Tricia, who could not help but smile. Even though Tricia had promised that she would not show it due to the fact that she was surprised mostly at the way Isabella acted, she had no choice but to laugh.

“I am sorry that you did not get what you expected,” Tricia muttered as Alex quickly opened the door and pointed outside for her.

Rachel was surprised as she continued to look at everyone's faces, waiting for a sign of flinch or a sign of error to know that all this was an act. But it wasn't there, and one thing they did not know was Rachel was still recording, and Lily was actually amazed at the fact that nothing had happened to Isabella as she watched the video from her laptop. She couldn't help but feel so enraged that even the can of juice that she had with her was already about to burst as she continued to squeeze it. Feeling angry, she muttered, “Isabella. Isabella.”

At that moment, the juice burst, and all the juice splashed on the laptop, bringing little sparks as she stood up and instantly the screen went down. She looked at Beatrice, who was also surprised. “I can't believe this. Don't tell me that the place we went to for the medicine is fake. Don't tell me the money I spent is rubbish!” Lily yelled at Beatrice as she shook her head sideways.

“No. That woman doesn't do anything wrong. She doesn't make mistakes. She never makes mistakes. There is nothing like a mistake. Please believe me,” Beatrice said.

“We are going back to her. We are going to find out why Isabella still remembers everything. We are going to find out because I would not want to be jailed for anybody's murder case, okay? I'm going to find out what exactly happened!” she yelled and stormed out.
