“I’m not trying to scold you, but try not to use such words in times like this. It makes me uncomfortable just hearing them, and shelly will feel much worse when she wakes up.” “Okay, I won’t say it anymore. I promise I won’t,” Beatrix said.

Isabelle responded with a humm.

Shrimaine woke up after a while. As she opened her eyes, she saw Beatrix and Isabelle standing beside her. She was extremely weak and barely had the strength to speak.

Isabelle’s eyes were tearing as she held Shelmaine’s hand that didn’t have an IV. “Shelly, how are you feeling?”

Beatrix leaned in. “Boss… are you feeling any!

Shelmaine didn’t even have the strength to blink. Her movements were slow. “What happened to me?”

She had no memory of what had happened. There seemed to be a brief gap in her recollection.

Isabelle and Beatrix couldn’t bear to speak. It was especially the case for Beatrix, who turned her face away with tears welling in her eyes.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

After spending the past few months together, she had grown very fond of Shelmaine and was heartbroken over what happened to her.

Shelmine repeated her question to Isabelle, as if realizing something a look of realization struck in her eyes. “Is it.”

Isabelle quickly comforted her, “It’s okay, just focus on getting some good rest and recovering. We’ll talk about everything else when you’re feeling better, okay? Don’t think about it, just don’t think about it.”

Shelmaine’s eyes blanked out once more. From initial confusion to disbelief and despair, tears silently streamed down her cheeks and disappeared drop by drop

eyes and said nothing more. The room fell into a heavy silence

Unable to bear seeing her like this, Isabelle found herself at a loss for words,

Out of the corner of her eyes, she noticed someone standing at the door of the ward, a person dressed in a white coat looking like a doctor. Realizing they had been spotted, the person quickly lett.

Isabelle frowned as a sense of unease crept over her. Before she could react, her phone rang. It was a call for her

She stepped out of the ward to take the call, glancing around the corridor of the hospital. She had a persistent gut feeling that something was off.

Shelmaine’s current blow was severe. Being five months pregnant, the termination caused her immense pain both physically and emotionally.

Isabelle took time off from work to stay in the hospital and take care of Shelmaine. After she had secured her leave, she accidentally came across Natasha’s Instagram story showing off her relationship again.

Natasha was holding onto Samuel’s arm with a seaside sunset in the background, a romantic scene meant just for the two of them with no room for anyone else. Seeing Shelmine lying in the hospital bed, Isabelle was furious and lashed out in the comments under Natasha’s post.

“Showing off, huh? Enjoy parading around with the man you stale? Trash! Thope you two stay together forever and never harm anyone else!”

After venting her anger, she deleted Natasha from her friend list. She also deleted Samuel and several others who were close to him,

Shemale stayed in the hospital for half a month. Isabelle remained by her side the whole time.

When Shelmaine felt a little better, she told Isabelle to go back to South Haven and assured isabelle she didn’t need to stay with her anymore. She was much better.

After Shelmaine learned she had lost the baby, she hadn’t shed a tear since the first day. She didn’t say much either and remained so quiet that isabelle worried she might be having some sort of mental breakdown.

So Isabelle refused to leave and insisted on staying to look after her.

While Shelmaine was in the hospital, there was no news from the police. They did call once but said they hadn’t found the person who had broken into her home. Isabelle couldn’t understand why they failed to find him.

Shelmaine didn’t hold out much hope at that point. Deep down, she understood but didn’t bother sharing her thoughts with anyone, including Isabelle.

When it was almost time for Shelmaine to be discharged, Isabelle was still uneasy and suggested Shelmaine stay a few more days.

Shelmaine was adamant about leaving.

She said, “If I stay here any longer, I’ll become a complete invalid. Besides, the hospital is too crowded. I can’t take up a bed for this long. I’ll recover at home.”

Isabelle couldn’t try dissuading her any further and reluctantly agreed to her discharge.

The first thing they did after returning home was to change locks and install new surveillance cameras. It was only then Isabelle learned someone had broken into Shelmaine’s home.

Habelle pondered for a moment and said, “Could it be Natasha or Samuel’s mom?

Shelinaine poured herself a glass of water and replied, “There’s no evidence.” “But it’s all too colen idental. How did everything happen all at once?”
