Chapter 84: Rachel’s Rebel

Meanwhile, Beatrice was slowly pushed out of the ward by Alex before the door was shut. As she still stood in front of the shut door, her eyes blinking, she was unable to believe that something like that had just happened. Did Isabella not forget everything?

It took Rachel close to ten minutes before she was able to bring herself back to reality and walk away from that door. She just stood there staring, unable to say anything, unable to even believe what was happening as she continued to blink and blink, looking at the wall until she noticed that nurses were already muttering as they passed by. 

She turned around and quickly faked a smile before rushing out of the hospital. She rushed out, and the rain had already begun, and she was drenched instantly. She had no umbrella, and she knew she could not wait in the hospital, or else the nurses would want to question who exactly she came to see. 

She quickly tried waving taxis down, but none of them actually stopped until she was totally soaked. She brought out her phone as it was vibrating, and it was from Lily. She picked it up despite the rain and shivered as she spoke. 

“What is it?” 

“You saw the video. You saw everything, right? Isabella is perfectly fine, and she never lost any memory!” Rachel yelled as Lily laughed.

“So why are you yelling at me exactly? I called you to tell you to go back there and confirm it. They are lying to you. It is all a makeup lie. They know what they are doing. They know exactly where they are going with all this. They are lying to you, and it is not supposed to be like that. Do you understand?” Lily said as at that moment, Rachel became angry.

“What exactly do you want me to do? You know, tell me, what exactly do you want me to do? What do you expect me to do? There is nothing I can do. I have tried my best, okay? Lily, I have been the best person for you. I have helped you. I betrayed my friend. I did everything just because I thought you were doing it for... because... because you love women and you wanted to keep us safe in the hostel only for you to turn the table around. And then you started acting all weird and you started asking, ‘Oh well, what exactly were you expecting from me?’ There was nothing I could do again. There is nothing I can do again. I can just watch; nothing else. Please, can you just stop this rubbish already? Can you stop this maniac act of yours? This actor. I don't even understand. Don't you see? You are already becoming dumb at this moment. You are already becoming deaf, daft. You are acting foolish already. Isn't that just enough for you? Isn't that just enough for you? I don't want to be into this anymore. I am already getting so pissed!” Rachel yelled as Lily noticed that at this moment, if she continued to push Rachel, then Rachel would make things even worse.

“Fine, fine. Don't go. Don't do anything, but why exactly are you yelling?” Lily tried to ask, but Rachel laughed. 

Lily knew Rachel had gotten enough of her. “This is just enough, Lily. I have done more than enough for you. I am sure even Beatrice at this moment would never have done the kind of things I have done just to favor you. And that is just enough for now. If you really want to know what is going on with Isabella, if you really want to know what's wrong with Isabella, go and find Isabella yourself and know what is going on. Don't just face me and expect me to barge in there now. Even if our relationship was supposed to reconcile, it is not possible because now I have betrayed them even more. Aren't you satisfied? Aren't you even happy to see that my life is crumbling? What again do you want? What again do you expect from me? I can't do anything more. I can't help you anymore. Please just let it end this way,” Rachel said and ended the call as she was now very much drenched from the rain, and even her phone had already been battered by raindrops as she stood there. 

Just then, a taxi stopped in front of her, and she quickly got in. She sat down and adjusted herself, only for her to notice that someone else was also sitting inside the car. It was James. 

“How is Isabella?” he muttered as Rachel felt like she should just jump from her seat and run away. 

“I am not even understanding anything. Why is no one allowed inside here?” James asked again, not even giving Rachel a chance to talk. 

“No, you can't just stop me and question me like that. If you want to know how Isabella is doing, then there is the hospital. Go there and find her yourself because now I am just coming from there, and I was ashamed of what they did to me. Isabella could face me and act that way,” Rachel said. 

She was about to come out, but he stopped her. “No, you can't stay. I just saw this as an opportunity. I have been waiting here for a while, trying to go into the hospital, but badly enough, the rain started, and I could not take any step further. So I saw you as an opportunity to ask if she was doing perfectly alright. But since you have given me your answer, I am more than okay with that,” he said to her gently as Rachel laughed. 

“What exactly do you also want? I see that you and Lily are now on the same road. You guys want the same thing for Isabella. You want to see her crumble. Well, the good thing is she still remembers everyone. She still remembers everything. Lily would still go to jail because of this, and you are an accomplice no matter how you do, no matter how you yell that you just picked her up on the road; you would still be involved.” 

Rachel said angrily as she came out of the car and slammed the door harshly, standing under the same heavy rain, ready to wait as long as possible. It would be better than following James anywhere.
