Chapter 121: Emanuele''S Heart Breaks


    Chapter 121: Emanuele''s Heart Breaks


    Indeed, Sophia was unaware of what had happened. All she knew was that they were in the living


    room, watching TV and chatting when Isabe mentioned she wanted to check on the garden and


    left. Shortly after, Chloe also left. Later, Emanuele left as well. Then, Phillip suddenly entered and


    ordered Chloe to be taken away to the dungeon. Everyone in the room was left bewildered,


    especially Chloe''s parents. They asked Sophia to find out what was going on.


    Sophia immediately called Emanuele. Now, hearing his exnation, she still hadn''t seen Isabe,


    and a sense of foreboding began to creep over her.


    Sophia had Phillip take her to the hospital. When they arrived at the hospital and saw Isabe lying


    on a hospital bed, pale and unconscious, Sophia cried out and rushed towards her. But before she


    could reach Isabe, Emanuele, who was standing nearby, stopped her.


    "Isabe is severely injured. She needs to rest, so please don''t touch her," he said.


    "What''s going on?" Sophia''s tears fell as she looked at Isabe on the bed. She felt her heart


    shatter.


    "It was Chloe who hurt Isabe," Emanuele exined.


    "Chloe? That can''t be. She''s so gentle," Sophia instinctively denied it. In her impression, Chloe was


    ady, always kind and gentle. How could she have done this to Isabe? Given Isabe''s injuries,


    it was clear that the attacker had been merciless.


    "When Isabe went outside, Chloe followed her. Here''s the surveince footage from the garden,"


    Emanuele handed the video to Sophia.


    Sophia watched Isabe and Chloe chatting, but suddenly Chloe grabbed Isabe''s hair and


    dragged her into the bathroom. Sophia didn''t know what happened afterward, but the injuries on


    Isabe''s body were undoubtedly caused by Chloe.


    "That''s why I had Chloe locked up," Emanuele said.


    "But they were close sisters," Sophia still couldn''t believe that her niece could do something like


    this.


    "Maybe you only thought they were close," Emanuele said, with a bitterugh.


    Soon, a doctor entered the room, and the look on his face wasplicated. "We''ve performed a


    full-body examination on the patient. She has a severe head injury with a minor concussion, and


    she needs to be observed in the hospital for three days. Most of her injuries are bruises and


    abrasions, and there''s nothing major, but there is a concern. She has multiple old fractures, and it''s


    hard not to suspect she may have experienced abuse in the past."


    If there was regr abuse, she needed to report it. Emanuele looked at Sophia with an icy


    expression, demanding an exnation.


    "Isabe had a few idents when she was a child," Sophia said. "She imed they were all self-


    inflicted, and I even scolded her back then, thinking she was just clumsy."


    Emanuele couldn''t contain his desire to kill in this moment. It was difficult to fathom how Isabe,


    who had such a reverence for life, had to learn to lie to her mother at such a young age. He refused


    to believe that Isabe, with her constant awe of life, had suffered idental fractures of such


    severity.


    "Have you ever seen her get hurt with your own eyes?"


    "I haven''t. I was working outside most of the time, and I''d go back home about once a week."


    Just then, the doctor came back with another question, "Has the patient been taking any


    medications? Is she allergic to any medications?"


    "She''s been taking estazm."


    "Estazm?" Emanuele furrowed his brows, unaware that Isabe was on medication.


    "It''s a medication for emotional issues. Sometimes, Isabe takes it when she''s feeling


    ufortable."


    "When did she start taking this medication?" Emanuele suddenly felt that he hardly knew anything


    about Isabe. Damn it, he had no idea that she had been taking this medication to manage her


    emotional issues.


    "It started a long time ago. She''s been on it since she was in middle school. It''s probably because


    her father passed away early, and with me being away, her emotions became problematic. She


    relied on the medication tobat her anxiety."


    "During that time, she stayed with her uncle and aunt?"


    Sophia nodded, "After her father passed away, we''ve been living at my brother''s house, and back


    then, I was busy with work, so she mostly stayed with them."


    Damn it, Emanuele was overwhelmed with aplex mix of emotions. He was terrified, as he


    realized that it wasn''t just theck of her parents'' presence that had made Isabe emotionally


    unstable. It must have been Chloe. He couldn''t imagine what kind of terrible life Isabe had led.


    At such a young age, she had lost her father and lived with a demon. Every day, Chloe tormented


    her, and even her uncle and aunt might have mistreated her. Emanuele couldn''t fathom the awful


    world Isabe had lived in.


    "Sophia, you really didn''t care enough about Isabe. If you can''t take good care of her, then let me


    handle the responsibility from now on."


    After all, he was already married to Isabe, and the responsibility for taking care of her should


    indeed be his. But he had discovered that Isabe had suffered too many grievances in the past.


    The thought of Isabe having to rely on medication to stabilize her emotions, thanks to him and his


    sadistic pleasure in torturing her, made Emanuele''s heart shatter.

    Looking at the girl lying on the hospital bed, Emanuele reached out to gently stroke Isabe''s hair


    and whispered, "Isabe, I''m sorry."


    Guilt washed over him like a tsunami, leaving him breathless. He didn''t know why he felt this way,


    but he was overwhelmed with sorrow.


    For the first time, he felt heartbroken for Isabe. Knowing she had suffered so much and had to


    endure his torment, he felt inhuman.


    He didn''t want to force Isabe to do things she didn''t like anymore.


    After a while, Isabe opened her eyes and looked at Emanuele. She had awakened.


    "Are you awake?" Emanuele immediately held Isabe''s hand. "How do you feel now?"


    Isabe''s gaze was somewhat bewildered. "I''m in a hospital?"


    This ce was indeed a hospital, and she could see the bright, white surroundings.


    "Chloe hurt you, but I''ve locked her up in the dungeon. From now on, no one will harm you


    anymore."


    "You''ve locked her up in the dungeon?" Isabe was surprised, but she wouldn''t plead for Chloe.


    She deserved what she got.
