Chapter 320 The Awakening of the Vegetative Person
Chapter 320 The Awakening of the Vegetative Person
Amelia looked at William in his inferior position, watching him bow his head and beg for mercy.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"You can't give it," she said. "William, you'll never be able to repay this debt in your lifetime."
What was lost could never come back.
The air fell silent.
Amelia clenched her teeth, her reddened eyes locked on William.
"Now, hand over Isabella," she demanded. "William, if you have any conscience left, stop protecting her!"
William looked at Amelia's determined expression and knew that more words were useless.
Any other conversation would have to wait until after this matter was resolved.
So he picked up his phone and called Rhys.
After two rings, Rhys answered.
"Where is she?" William asked.
But Rhys was really anxious.
"Isabella's gone," she said while apparently checking surveillance footage with his assistant. "I've already had people block all the exits at the Brown Group. We're checking the surveillance now."
William had put it on speaker, so Amelia heard everything too.
Amelia immediately stood up.
At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Was William trying to protect Isabella, so he deliberately let her escape?
William couldn't be trusted.
And—she had to find Isabella!
Amelia stood up and turned to leave.
William tried to grab her hand to explain, but she violently shook her right hand and threw him off.
William's wheelchair wobbled. By the time he steadied himself, Amelia had already opened the door and walked out.
York was waiting at the door and immediately moved to protect Amelia.
"York, do we have people available now?" Amelia asked.
York smiled and said softly, "Ready at any time."
"Good." Amelia nodded in satisfaction. "York, I need to find Isabella. I must find her!"
As for William, she would settle accounts with him slowly after dealing with Isabella!
York nodded and immediately made arrangements right there in front of Amelia.
William watched all this and it made him mad with jealousy.
He could search too!
He had plenty of people under him too!
But she only used York's people.
William wanted to call out to Amelia, but she had already left with York.
Sable came over and blocked his path.
"William, you really can't do anything right. Someone has disappeared right inside the Brown Group—you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"
After mocking him, Sable rolled her eyes, turned, and walked away, leaving William all alone and sitting in his wheelchair.
Anger and hatred almost drowned him.
"Isabella!"
William gritted his teeth as he called out the name.
He had to find Isabella and make her wish she were dead!
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, Isabella, seeing that everything had been exposed, naturally ran away.
Just as William went after Amelia, she immediately took another elevator downstairs.
She had to run first, then clear her name, and then figure things out.
A car stopped by the roadside.
Isabella glanced at the man in the driver's seat who was wearing a baseball cap, then she opened the passenger door and got in.
The car sped away.
The man in the baseball cap was very familiar with the locations of surveillance cameras everywhere, so he weaved left and right to avoid them.
"What are you planning to do next?" The man asked after a while. "Everything has been exposed. Are you leaving?"
"All the exits are probably already restricted now. We can't leave in the short term," Isabella said.
She took out her phone and quickly edited something.
"Besides, we haven't reached a dead end yet," she went on. "What I did wasn't that bad. Soon, I'll turn everything around."
The man in the baseball cap hesitated to speak.
Isabella finished editing everything and posted an update.
Then she looked at him and said, "After doing this for so long, I won't accept getting nothing! I must get what I want!"
Isabella gripped her phone tightly, her eyes flashing with cold murderous intent.
...
Just as many people were searching for Isabella, everyone saw her latest update.
Isabella: No need to keep guessing. The video that mysterious netizen released is real. Mia and I were fighting, and I accidentally bumped William's elbow, which eventually caused Amelia to fall down the stairs. This is my fault.
Isabella had directly admitted the authenticity of the video.
She was afraid that if she kept denying it, the mysterious netizen would release more evidence. She was already panicking.
Isabella: But that behavioral analysis thing is really ridiculous. I was indeed watching Amelia the whole time, but that's because I like William. It was a sudden incident. I didn't know what would happen that day—how could I have planned it? I'm not that smart. Everything was just an accident.
Attributing everything to an accident.
There was no more evidence anyway. With just this video, they couldn't definitively prove that she did it.
This was why she was so fearless.
At worst, it was just her fighting with Mia.
At most, it was an accident.
Once the post went up, it garnered a lot of attention.
Carl frantically cooperated with Isabella to attack Idris using all kinds of tactics.
Soon, the internet was in chaos.
...
At that moment, in the intensive care unit of Evergreen Hospital, a woman was holding a child. While feeding the child, she was playing the latest gossip on her phone.
"Isabella" was mentioned countless times.
The person who had been lying on the bed in a vegetative state finally opened his eyes.
The patient listened to the things that were being said about Isabella on the phone, his eyes wide open.
The woman put down her phone and turned around, just in time to see her husband waking up.
"Honey?" she gasped, tears instantly falling down her cheeks. "Honey, you're awake!"
The woman immediately pressed the call button, crying uncontrollably.
Holding the child, she watched as doctors filed in to check on her husband.
...
In another dark room, the caregiver was hiding quietly.
Previously surrounded at Floral Haven, her actions had been broadcast live, so after just giving a statement and going through related procedures, she was released.
But she was scared, so she secretly hid away while she organized the recordings on her voice recorder. She wanted to find the right moment to approach William or York and use these recordings to buy herself a chance to leave and return to Veridian.
The reason she dared to hand over the original phone to those crazy fans was because she still had a voice recorder. This was also an original that could be authenticated.
At that moment, the phone on the desk was playing organized gossip.
The caregiver thought for a moment, then she searched for the phone numbers of Amelia, York, and William and sent them messages.
