Chapter 300 Obediently Listen
William truly couldn't answer.
He suddenly forgot how to speak and just stared blankly at Isla, locked in the cage.
Dylan finally rushed back. Seeing the two confronting each other through the cage bars, he slowly walked forward to observe.
"Mr. Spencer, it seems Ms. Tudor's father is showing signs of waking up."
"I got word from the caregiver that his finger seemed to move."
"But it was so brief she wasn't sure. After the doctor checked, he thought she was just seeing things."
As soon as Dylan told William the new information, Isla's previously calm face changed completely.
"He must be about to wake up."
"I knew it, I knew he would get better."
A sad smile appeared on Isla's face.
William watched her body tremble with excitement and spoke coldly.
"Even if he really wakes up, I won't let you see him."
The smile on Isla's face froze instantly.
A venomous look appeared in her eyes.
"William, you'll get what's coming to you."
"Don't think you can control everything."
She suddenly grabbed the iron bars and threatened William with death.
"Let me see him."
"Otherwise... otherwise I'll kill myself right in front of you."
"If... if I die, you won't have anyone left to take revenge on."
William looked at her face and suddenly laughed.
The corners of his mouth stretched into a wide smile.
"You won't do that."
The confidence in William's eyes made Isla's heart fill with dread.
But she really wanted to visit Benjamin—after all, he was her last family member.
She asked reluctantly, "Why not?"
William rubbed his temples.
"If you die, I'll still pay for his medical expenses."
"After he wakes up, I'll make sure the first thing he sees is what you did under the overpass."
"I'll have him arrested and locked in this very cage, and let him experience the path you've walked."
Isla was speechless.
She looked at William as if he were a monster.
Only William in this world could do something so insane.
Isla's hands gradually loosened and dropped powerlessly.
Facing William, this demon, she really couldn't think of any way to resist.
The only thing worth mentioning was that William himself didn't want her to die either.
She wasn't sure if she should be happy about that.
"You are Isabella's mother, after all."
"She was so good to you, even donated her own kidney to you."
"Although you, as a mother, didn't appreciate it, you're still her mom."
"If Isabella were still alive, she would definitely beg me to let you go."
William grabbed the dog food and personally added it to the bowl.
"Too bad Isabella is dead. No one will plead for you anymore."
Although Donny would do that, he could never enter this room again.
If he came to cause trouble again, William wouldn't mind breaking his other leg.
"Live well and cherish each day."
"If you can last until the day he wakes up, I'll naturally let you two meet."
Isla stared blankly at William's face, not knowing how many of these words were true.
But now she had no choice. She could only believe.
"I hope you'll keep your word."
William lazily stood up and said contemptuously.
"You don't have the right to negotiate with me either."
"As long as you cooperate with me, Benjamin, lying in the hospital, can suffer a bit less."
He slowly walked away without saying another word to Isla.
He'd had enough of talking to this woman today.
Now he just wanted to hurry back to that special room and spend time with Isabella.
He wasn't worried at all that Isla would try anything. Because he still had many methods and ideas he hadn't implemented yet.
When that day came, he was certain Isla would regret it.
The warm yellow sunlight outside the window shone through onto the crystal coffin.
When the sunlight hit the crystal coffin, it reflected a brilliant silver light, like a huge square-cut diamond.
Even Isabella, lying in the coffin, was made more beautiful by that crystalline glow.
William was stunned for a moment. He forgot to even close the door and walked straight to the coffin.
Looking at Isabella lying in the radiance, he carefully reached out and touched the coffin lid near her cheek.
"You're still so beautiful."
"But I can never hold your hand again, or touch your cheek."
"I really miss those memories of sleeping with you in my arms."
William hugged the coffin, pressing his cheek against the lid and gently rubbing it.
Like a cat nuzzling its owner's feet.
"Isabella, I know all of this is what I deserve. I wronged you."
"I can't turn back anymore."
"But my feelings for you will never change."
The sunlight shone on his back, and he felt his mood improve a lot.
Even though Isabella now couldn't leave the coffin, he still felt content.
As long as he could still see her face when he opened his eyes, William was satisfied.
He really couldn't let Isabella leave his world.
So even if it meant living with a corpse, even if it was for a lifetime, he would never change his mind.
When she was alive, William had always found her annoying. Now that she was dead, he had become the annoying one.
William held the coffin and spent the night like that.
The next morning, he changed into a neat suit early, his hair combed perfectly.
He had returned to his efficient appearance. As he went downstairs, his brown leather shoes made sounds on the stairs.
He sat at the dining table and finished breakfast alone.
Across from him, at the empty seat, there was a set of unused tableware on the table.
Every time William ate, a place setting had to be set out for Isabella.
Even the butler had gotten used to this habit of his.
William finished breakfast and wiped his mouth.
Then he looked in Isla's direction.
He slowly walked over, then crouched in front of the cage, smiling as he said.
"Haven't you always wanted to go to the hospital to visit him?"
"I'm in a good mood today, so I'll grant you this small wish."
"You better not be ungrateful."
Isla looked up blankly. After eating dog food for several months, eating, drinking, and sleeping all in this cage.
Although someone cleaned the cage every day.
She was gradually losing the sense of her existence as a human being.
She was really becoming more and more like a dog.
William had even taken the collar off Juniper's neck and put it on hers.
William's twisted smile always made her heart run cold.
"As long as you behave, I won't make things difficult for you."
"But if you make a mistake, I will definitely punish you severely."
William said this while having Dylan bring a long coat.
He took the coat, held it up to her for size, then threw it in front of the cage.
Smiling at Isla in the cage, he said.
"Now you know what to do, right?"
