Isabe understood very clearly that those calm and easy days of the past might never return. Even though her work seemed rtively calm now, she knew that Emanuele’s people were secretly protecting her. It was because of them that no one dared to harm her. But she could only live a peaceful life inside the hospital acquired by Emanuele, not in any other hospital. She couldn’t help but sigh when she thought about the hospital where she used to intern. Evelyn, William, they all used to be there, but now it was all in the past. Watching Grazia cry at that moment, Isabe felt her heart ache. It turned out that Grazia had never forgotten Andrew all this time. It was understandable, given how close Grazia and Andrew had been. When Andrew passed away, Grazia had cried for a long time, deeply saddened. Although her rtionship with Ro was good now, it still couldn’tpare to her feelings for Andrew.
Isabe didn’t know what to say at that moment, so she could onlyfort Grazia and encourage her to stay strong. After crying for a while, Grazia finally stopped. “Isabe, when my child is born, you muste to Italy to see me. I hope you’ll be my child’s godmother.” “I will, Grazia, I promise,” Isabe replied. After their conversation, Isabe looked at Lilly, who was beside her. “It seems like everyone’s life is quite bitter, they just don’t show it,” she remarked. Lilly gently stroked Isabe’s hair.
Isabe’s hair had grown a bit longer than before, still as soft and shiny, almost as if she could do a shampoomercial. It had been a mess after William had cut it, but now it had grown out. It would still take a long time to grow back to its previous length. “You’re such a good child, kind and innocent. God will surely bless you,” Lilly said. In truth, Lilly felt a great deal of affection for Isabe. After all, her job was to take care of Isabe, and she wanted Isabe to live a happy and carefree life. Being safe and healthy was more important than anything else.
Looking at Lilly, Isabe said, “Lilly, I want some donuts. Can you make a few for me? And also, I want some strawberry cake, and a cup of hot cocoa.” She didn’t know why, but suddenly she had a craving for these sugary treats. She felt that their sweet taste would make her feel especially joyful.
“Of course, Isabe, you wait here, I’ll make them for you,” Lilly replied, then she went into the kitchen. Isabey on the sofa, watching a variety show, the same one she used to enjoy watching. However, for some reason, it didn’t bring her the same joy it used to. The people who used to watch it with her were no longer around.
Just then, there was a knock at the door. Isabe went to answer it and found Evelyn and James standing there. “Oh my God,” Isabe eximed, immediately going over to hug Evelyn. “Evelyn, what brings you here?” She had thought that Evelyn was still with her parents, so she had nned to meet her some timeter. She hadn’t expected her toe today. Not having seen each other for some time, Isabe felt that Evelyn seemed a bit thinner. Could it be because she wasn’t happy living with her parents? But seeing Evelyn’s radiant appearance, Isabe thought that she was just overthinking it.
The moment Evelyn saw Isabe, she felt like crying. Isabe had returned to her previous self, but she knew that during the time Isabe had lost her child, she must have been in so much pain. Yet, Evelyn hadn’t been able to be there for her during her darkest hours. Evelyn felt that she couldn’t really call herself a friend to Isabe. How could a good friend treat another friend like that? Because she felt she couldn’t face Isabe, she had left in a hurry after Isabe had a miscarriage, before she even woke up, disappearing from Isabe’s life. She only showed up after Isabe had recovered. Guilt invaded Evelyn’s heart, making her feel incredibly ufortable. Unable to contain herself, she hugged Isabe and said, “Isabe, I’m sorry, truly, I’m so sorry. I couldn’te see you earlier because of some family matters. I hope you can forgive me.”
Oh God, Evelyn felt like pping herself as soon as those words left her mouth. She felt so despicable and shameless, asking for Isabe’s forgiveness in her very first sentence. She should have been the one caring for Isabe, but all she thought about was herself. “It’s okay, Evelyn, you don’t need to apologize to me. I should be the oneapologizing to you. It’s because of me that you and your parents got into trouble,” Isabe sighed.
“It’s not your fault, Isabe. Don’t me yourself. It’s my mistake for misjudging someone. If I had been as skeptical as you from the beginning, that scoundrel wouldn’t have had an opportunity. But it’s all better now,” Evelyn said, hugging Isabe and sitting down with her on the sofa.
Isabe knew that Evelyn understood her situation, so she didn’t want to bring up her daughter, fearing that she might start crying again. Even though she had be as cheerful as she used to be, certain things couldn’t just be set aside.
“Evelyn, are your parents doing okay now? I want to find a time to visit them, but I’m not sure when would be appropriate,” Isabe had met Evelyn’s parents a few times before. They were both warm and weing, often sending homemade cookies and cakes with Evelyn for them to enjoy at school.
“My parents say they are morefortable at home. The apartment is nice, but it doesn’t feel like home, not as cozy,” Evelyn replied.
“Now that it’s safe, if you want to go back, I can arrange for you to return,” Isabe offered.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
“Thank you, Isabe, I’m really grateful. You saved my parents,” Evelyn once again thanked Isabe.
“You don’t need to thank me, Evelyn. It’s because I didn’t think to protect your parents in the first ce,” Isabe hurriedly responded.
Evelyn wanted to tell Isabe about William’s threats back then, but she just couldn’t bring herself to do it. She felt ashamed of her past indecision, feeling like a despicable person. She had even considered harming Isabe’s daughter several times. Even though she didn’t act on it and no one knew, her hesitation made her feel like a traitor to her friendship with Isabe. She felt she had no face to show Isabe.
“Oh, dear Evelyn, it’s been so long since you’vee. I’ve missed you so much,” Lilly emerged from the kitchen, carrying the hot cocoa and the freshly made strawberry cake. She saw Evelyn and immediately hugged her, giving her a peck on the cheek. “I haven’t seen you in so long, Evelyn. You seem to have lost quite a bit of weight.”
