Chapter 93: Uncovered Secrets

As James staggered his way back to his car, all he could reminisce on was Isabella's words, the things she said to him and the way she acted. It felt like a dream to him. He felt like all these things did not happen, even though it had just happened a few minutes ago. 

He stood in front of his car, still holding his car key, but did not open the door. He was so lost in thought that he did not know that he was standing there for more than 10 minutes. He still stood there. He couldn't even sign in frustration or even angrily slam anything because he was just so stunned. 

He never believed a situation would come like this between him and Isabella. If he knew that Isabella would twist everything this way, then he would have started learning to stay away from her at the right time, not waiting till now that she pushed him away herself. 

He heaved a sigh of frustration and decided to stop thinking about it as he opened the car door. He sat down inside the car, still thinking about everything. But despite everything, even though Isabella at this moment was to blame, as Isabella was now seen as the one at fault, he still could not bring himself to do something like that and instead just sat down there continuously thinking, trying to understand where exactly this problem was coming from. 

“Why exactly is she acting this way and why would she push me away like she does not know me?” All those things kept reminiscing in his head as he tried to start the car only to see that Mirabel had come out. 

He immediately bent down, pretending like he was not in the car. As he watched Mirabel, she looked around to be sure that there was nobody around. And because he had not yet started the engine of his car, his lights were still off, so she did not notice his car at the far corner of the road. 

Immediately a taxi drove straight to her front, and she looked again before entering inside and driving off. 

Even though James was meant to go on his own way and not intervene in whatever that was going on, he still felt like there was something she wanted to do. She looked suspicious, she looked dubious, and of course, he wanted to know where she exactly was going if whatever she went to do was connected to Isabella. 

So he started the engine and followed behind the taxi, hoping that it was leading somewhere. And just as expected, she stopped in front of a huge pharmacy. He came out and stared at her. She still looked around to be sure that nobody was following her before entering inside. 

“For sure something is wrong. I know now, and I am more than sure now that something is wrong with Isabella that they are not telling me. There is a secret somewhere,” he said to himself. 

He stood there for a while and watched. She did take a long time before coming out, but she eventually came out and took the taxi. He knew she was going home and did not bother to follow her. Instead, he went into the hospital to find out what kind of medicine she just came to get as he entered. 

Inside, the nurses were still busy arranging some medicines as he cleared his throat. 

“Sorry to disturb you,” he said to the nurse as she turned around with a wide smile. Of course, she was new to the place because he had already come here once in a while since it was not really far from his own residence. 

“I am so sorry to disturb you. The lady who just left right now, I would like to know her drugs information,” he said to the nurse, which made her smile immediately fade away. 

“Sorry, that is confidential information and I cannot tell you about it. Even though she did not instruct me to keep it a secret. But it is a rule in this pharmacy that we keep everything a secret and I cannot tell you what she came to get,” the woman said as he laughed. 

“Really, if you want to do it that way, then I will just have to report this pharmacy because she's actually my wife and she has been sneaking out and getting some drugs, and all I want is just to know the kind of drugs that she came to get, nothing else. But if you don't tell me, then I will report it and it will escalate more than this,” he said to the nurse who laughed, feeling a bit awkward. 

“Fine, I'll tell you. She came to get some prescribed medicine. I am not really so familiar with them and I cannot really remember their names because she came with a paper. But it was a description from a doctor,” the nurse insisted as James became more interested in knowing what was going on. 

“So you say it is prescribed drugs? What else?” he questioned. 

“I think it is for someone who is having amnesia or memory loss or anything. I don't know. I think it is to fasten the person's memory. I don't know. But that was what I saw in the doctor's description and from the details of the medicine. Clearly, that is what it is for. It was actually hard to find the drugs. It was hidden and not just anybody buys that drug,” the nurse explained. 

“So that was the reason,” James nodded. 

“Thank you so much, and do not worry yourself or maybe think that she would be coming back here to cause anything or maybe worry because I will take good care of her. She will tell me where this drug is coming from,” James lied and walked out. 

Now he was sure of what was going on. Now he knew exactly what was going on. Now he knew where everything was heading to. He knew why Isabella was acting the way she acted. He knew why she pushed him away instantly without giving him a chance to talk. 

And he knew how to get back at Alex for acting that way. He would make sure that everybody knows the truth about what happened to Isabella and know that Alex was trying to keep it a secret all this time.
