Chapter 875


    At the sight of Old Mr. Bailey’s threat, one of the nurses called for security, while Isabelle wiped her


    tears and stepped outside. Then, she was greeted by rows of seats that were full of people sitting on


    them. At the same time, she also noticed their worried faces, even though they tried hard to cling to


    their rational mind and waited for the doctor.


    It was only Old Mr. Bailey who kept making a scene and got in the way of the doctors. Nheless,


    Isabelle couldn’t care less about that. She walked to a corner and hugged herself while leaning against


    the wall. At that moment, she could hear buzzing in her head, feeling her temple twitching wildly.


    Not long after that, the security guards arrived and subdued Old Mr. Bailey, manhandling him as they


    passed by Isabelle, but she didn’t even bother to look at her father. At the same time, there were


    rescued patients who were escorted out of the emergency department. Some of them were transferred


    to the Intensive Care Unit, while the others were taken to the general ward.


    All of them made it. At the sight of that, Isabelle pursed her lips and clung to a glimmer of hope deep


    down. After a while, the doctors came out, and one of them, who was involved in rescuing Dexter,


    turned out to be someone Isabelle knew. Therefore, she quickly approached the doctor, who stared at


    her and apologized with a faint voice. Upon hearing that, Isabelle blinked in response. “Oh, is he going


    to the ICU? No worries, I’ll make the payment right away.”


    The doctor let out a sigh and said, “I’m sorry. We couldn’t save him. Nheless, he didn’t die from the


    injury he sustained from the traffic ident. Instead, it was something he consumed earlier that killed


    him—we believe it was pesticide. Anyway, we’ll need to wait for the test result for further confirmation


    about that.”

    Isabelle was taken aback by the doctor’s answer. “Pesticide?!”


    The doctor then asked her a question, “Did the victim suffer from any kind of mental illness, such as


    depression?” Upon pausing for a moment, the doctor added, “He came around halfway through our


    rescue and told us that he didn’t want to live anymore.”


    Isabelle paused in a trance. “D-Depression…?” She shook her head in denial. “N-No. This can’t be. He


    was healthy. Why would he not want to live? Why would he want to die?” As soon as she finished her


    words, she broke down in tears.


    It was at that moment that Isabelle began to recall the signs, which might have indicated that Dexter


    was calling for help. Unfortunately, no one knew he was broken on the inside. No wonder Dexter was


    alwaysining about how tired and unhappy he was because no one really cared about him. His


    life was all about cram school because of the expectation he needed to live up to in order to stand out.


    He said he wanted to rest, but everyone dismissed that as aint and paid no attention to


    it. Overwhelmed by her guilt, Isabelle burst into tears.


    Meanwhile, the doctor told Isabelle that Dexter’s body would be taken to the morgue and promised to


    keep her posted on the autopsy result as soon as the testing was done. After that, the doctor excused


    himself as he still had a lot of work to attend to.


    Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Isabelle leaned against the wall and slowly crouched on the floor. In


    the meantime, Old Mr. Bailey, who was forced out of the hospital, stood outside in the chilly breeze as


    he came to his senses a bit. He then shoved off the guards and said, “Take your hands off me! I’ll just


    wait here.”


    While the ce was crowded with people, the security guards gave in and let go of the man in order to


    avoid further conflict. However, they continued to stand there and watched Old Mr. Bailey because they


    were afraid that the man would lose his temper and make a scene again. Shortly after that, Isabelle


    came out with a gloomy look on her face.


    In that instant, Old Mr. Bailey quickly walked up to her and asked, “How is your brother?”


    With half her face swollen, Isabelle could feel slight numbness in her gum. She then stared at Old Mr.


    Bailey and proceeded to tell him the bad news. “The doctor said Dexter might havemitted suicide


    by drinking pesticide before the ident.”


    “Nonsense!” Old Mr. Bailey snarled in rage, “Why would hemit suicide? He is going to own the


    wholepany sooner orter. So, why would he ever want to die?” After saying that, his eyes that


    were staring at Isabelle changed.
