Chapter 88: How Dare You

While Mirabel was acting all crazy, Alex tried his best to calm her down. “You can't just give such suggestions. You can't say we should push her memories. Calm down, Mirabel. You're not the only one eager to bring this situation into justice. We can't rush things, and we cannot manipulate things just to make everything fast. You have to calm yourself down and let us do this little by little. Don't rush this. Don't rush anything. Don't be in a panic.”

Alex tried to explain to Mirabel, who began to laugh. “Really? You think I am in a panic? You think I am acting all rushed up? I am not acting all rushed up. This is not fair. This is not fair. I never liked Lily. Now she tried to kill two people, and she's walking around absolutely free. She's literally a free child. As I talk to you, imagine something like that. Imagine. Just imagine. Does it make sense to you? Does it make any sense to you that she is free and she's able to do whatever she wants to do? Does it make any sense?”

Mirabel yelled as Alex rushed to hug her. “You need to stop this. If you continue acting like this, Isabella herself would know that something is off. Isabella herself will know that she's supposed to know something. Okay? Don't forget what the doctor said. We must not force things. Isabella must not know the trauma she's passing through. The minute Isabella knows she is forgetting things, the minute everything will get worse. And we don't want everything to be worse for us. We just want all this to end. We want all this to be settled once and for all. And that cannot happen if you are acting this way and acting all panicked.”

“Who told you I am not crazy? Who told you I am not in a rush to know what is going on? Who told you? I don't want to have any idea of how to solve this problem. But how would I do it? No, tell me. How do you expect me to do that if I cannot stay calm? You are making me panic,” Alex explained to Mirabel as she tried her best to give herself calm. “I just see that Isabella is not someone who is supposed to be in this situation. She's not supposed to be in a situation like this,” Mirabel said as she tried her best by biting her lips, just holding her tears.

Meanwhile, just at that moment, the bell rang as Alex looked at Mirabel. “Were you expecting anyone?” he asked her as she shrugged. “I have no one. I am not expecting anyone, and I told my husband I am going for a break, so nobody is looking for me. Except somebody is expecting to see you, and you don't know about it, or somebody thrilled us. One of the two,” Mirabel said to Alex as he slowly walked towards the door.

He peeped through the hole and saw that there was no one there. He turned to Mirabel as she muttered to him, “Who is it?” But he shrugged and then opened the door only to see in front of him was Professor James.

He looked all calm with a fake smile. “I am sorry I did not come and check on Isabella for a long time, but I really need to see her. I need to see with my own eyes that she is faring well,” Professor James said to Alex as he did not even wait or make any shocking reaction or anything, and the first thing he did was punch James in the face, making him stagger backward.

Yes, James was a professor, and of course, he was older than Alex, but not that older than him. Yet that did not give Alex the audacity to do something like that to James because James could ruin his reputation in school with just a little thing or even not make him graduate.

“Whatever you do, no matter how many times you punch me, I still want to see Isabella,” James said as blood was already seeping from the side of his lips, and he tried his best to hold on and not crumble.

“You. How dare you. How dare you come here, and you open your mouth shooting out gibberish from it. How dare you. You are not supposed to even be here. You are not supposed to be close to her because it was you who brought Lily. It was you and Lily's plan to end Isabella. You wanted to keep your secrets hidden, right? You wanted to keep that boldness and audacity hidden. That was why you decided to do something like that because you know if you had eaten it, then she would not find out about it. Well, I hope you are having fun watching her manipulate being passing through misery,” Alex said to James angrily and quickly held his mouth back, knowing that he was already uttering words that he was not supposed to say and even saying some things that he was supposed to keep hidden and not utter just out of his anger.

Just like him mistakenly letting James know about Isabella's ability to not remember anything as he stood there. As James stood there, he couldn't help but smile. “What are you trying to say? Is something wrong with Isabella that you are not telling me? Is something wrong with Isabella, and you are keeping it a secret from everyone?” James yelled angrily as Alex laughed.

“You are one crazy asshole. You are one crazy, fucked-up man who has no sense, has no dignity, and is here. Get the fuck out of here before I make things worse for you,” Alex yelled.

But James was not ready to let go at all. “I won’t leave here till I see Isabella!”
