Sabrina blinked as if she didnât understand what was going on.
Isabella looked at her coldly and observed her expression before saying again, âYour father is dead now. He died because of you, and your mother cried so hard that she fainted in the hospital. She called you, but you didnât answer her call. You think youâre cool because of your hair, and you have fun flirting with married men, donât you? You are the most pathetic person on the planet.â
Sabrina looked as if she didnât believe Isabellaâs words. âNonsense! Thatâs impossible!â She shouted hysterically.
âHe wouldnât have gone looking for you if you hadnât texted him at 3 a.m. saying you were eloping with someone. He was hit by a car and died tragically!â Isabella yelled.
Sabrina struggled to accept this fact. She sat on the floor, sobbing bitterly and mumbling, âNo, I didnât. | didnât text my dad, and |
didnât tell him that.â
Isabella was stunned by her words and asked, âYou didnât send him the message, did you? Ifit hadnât been you...â
Isabella turned to face the man who had left the crowd and was preparing to flee. She took a step forward and kicked his suitcase away. She reached out again, grabbing him by the hair and dragging him back.
James, who was in the crowd, gulped when he saw this.
âDid you use her phone to send Micheal a message in the middle of the night?â Isabella dragged the man over to Sabrina, asking. 456 You Two Know Each Other?!
Isabella punched him hard, and he was clearly in pain. Still, he said nothing and just smiled wickedly.
Then Isabella snatched him by the collar and asked, âWhy?â
Sabrina pulled herself together and asked in a trembling voice, âYou never planned to take me away, so why did you tell my dad that? What the hell do you want from me?â
The man struggled to get up from the ground and spat bloodied spit into his mouth. He asked, âWhat makes you so sure | did it?
Heâs already died now. What can you do to me even if! did it?â
Hearing his provoking words, Isabella became enraged and stomped on the man. She was about to hit him again when James stopped her from behind. âIsabella, please relax. You donât have to hit him again. It wonât help.â
Isabella gradually calmed down. âCome with me to the hospital,â she yanked Sabrina up from the floor.
The man smiled coldly as the three were about to leave the waiting room. He quickly followed them, drew a fruit knife behind Isabella, and stabbed her in the back.
Isabella suddenly felt a chill running down her spine, followed by pain and dizziness caused by pain. She could hear a violent collision behind her. She tried hard to turn her head back, but she couldnât. She then collapsed to the ground.
The manâs knife slashed Isabellaâs shirt and touched her body. Then, Jasper came over and stopped before he could continue stabbing her. The man looked at Jasper, who had suddenly appeared and was holding the knife, surprised by the intimidating look in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, James kicked the man who stabbed Isabella to. the ground, then looked at Jasper in surprise. 456 You Two Know Each Other?!
Immediately after that, the manâs head collided with the seat, causing him to bleed. He shook his head and took his phone from his pocket, saying, âIâm going to call the police right now! Iâm going to send you all to jaiâ
Jasper sighed and picked up Isabella, who had passed out. He simply warned the man, âIâm sure youâre not afraid of going to jail.
But your creditors will go to London and go after you wife and children if they know they are hiding there.â
Jasper then left the waiting room quickly. In shock and fear, the man soon hung up the phone.
Hours later, Isabella opened her eyes and found herself in a hospital bed at Sun Town Hospital. Someone then opened the door to the hospital room. She turned to look and saw James sadly walking in.
When James noticed Isabella was awake, he exclaimed, âYouâre finally awake!â
James had been restless and guilty when Isabella was in a coma. Furthermore, what Jasper said terrified him.
Then James helped Isabella in sitting up and gave her a glass of water.
He couldnât help but ask, âDo you know the man who asked you for directions the other day?â
âNo, | donât know him,â Isabella said after a brief pause.
âHuh? We should call the cops then. | suspect heâs a pervert.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âEven though he saved your life, I donât think it was a coincidence. | believe he has been following you! He may not be a hero, but he is a bad guy.â
The more James spoke, the more terrified he became. Then he took 456 You Two Know Each Other?! his cell phone from his pocket and was about to dial 911.
After hearing Jamesâ words, Isabella got a headache. She didnât have the chance to notice what was going on because she was stabbed.
After Isabella realized it was Jasper who saved her, she stopped him.
Someone opened the hospital room door again just in time. They both turned back to look at the door at the same time.
James looked at Jasper with suspicion and hid his phone behind his back. He stood there watching as this imposing man walked in slowly.
âDid you stalk me?â Isabella asked Jasper. She clutched the sheets tightly, trying not to sound scared.
Jasper set the food he had bought on the table and said, âNo, not really. Isabella, | got you some food. If youâre feeling better, you can have some. The doctor said you can leave the hospital when you wake up. So, will you come back with me?â
Isabellaâs gaze was drawn to the gauze that wrapped around Jasperâs hand. The doctor at this small hospital didnât seem to know how to bandage and instead wrapped Jasperâs hand in a thick bandage. His cold expression and his hand formed a comical contrast.
Isabella recalled a memory from her past. When she was thirteen, Jasper found her a taekwondo instructor. She injured herself every time she trained, and Jasper bandaged her wounds. As a result, Isabella studied taekwondo for five years and hurt herself sometimes.
Back when she was stabbed by the man and fell to the ground, Isabella thought about Jasperâs face.
At the same time, James seemed angry when he thought about what Jasper had just said. He thought to himself, Youp*****t! Are you trying to kidnap Isabella? | will never let that happen! Never!
âOkay.â Isabella agreed with a nod. 456 You Two Know Each Other?!
James was preparing a small speech to teach Jasper a lesson at the time. He was stunned and reminded her through his clenched teeth, âI just told you heâs suspicious, Isabella! Why did you agree to it?â
Isabella took a big bite of her burger and handed another one to him, âI canât take the bus back because Iâm injured. Youâll join us later.â
Us? James thought to himself. Shaking his head, he reasoned, âNo, Iâm not going with him, and you canât either. Iâll go find you a car and bring you back later.â
Jasper was taken aback when he heard his words. He asked, looking at the young man with interest, âYou donât think Isabella would be safe with me? So, is it safe for her to go with you? And you, Isabella. Why didnât you tell Anna before coming here? If you didnât want to come back to New York with me, you should have shown me that you could be safe and sound.â
Jasper lectured them one by one.
âIsabella, do you two know each other or not?â James asked, sensing something was wrong.
Isabella eventually said, âHe is my father, according to him. My foster fatherâ
âWhat?â James asked, surprised.
