Chapter 30

Brett came to pick up Izabella for the hearing

After a week of recuperation at the hospital, Izabella could now sit up. Her stomach didn’t hurt as much as before but she still felt weak

Knowing that Izabella had to go to court, the nurse prepared a wheelchair and an IV for her Seeing two full bags of medication, Izabella’s hand ached just looking at them.

“Can I not have the NV today? It won’t be convenient at the court

“No,” the nurse cut her off. “Dr. Felton personally said that you can’t stop taking your medication After the hearing, you still have to come back and stay in the hospital”

tabella glanced at the hallway and asked. “Where’s Presley?‘

The nurse replied, “He’s on rounds Oh, he also told me that if you don’t have the IV properly, I won’t be able to discharge you” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

What else could she do? Presley’s words were never to be taken back. Plus, with his personality, she could be tied to the bed listening to his nagging if she didn’t comply.

abella reluctantly nodded and watched as the nurse prepared the IV

Her phone vibrated twice. She picked it up with her left hand and saw a text from Brett, saying he had amived at the hospital entrance

“Just go handle the temporary discharge procedures for me Izabella pointed to the drawer under the bedside table “The papers are all in there”

The nurse stuffed vanous forms into a bag and then pushed Izabella to the front desk payment window

The hospital was crowded, so to avoid anyone bumping into her, the nurse pushed her to a comer

“Ms Salotti, please wait here for a moment. Til go take care of the procedures”

Izabella nodded, “Thanks”

As soon as the nurse left, Izabella texted Brett to tell him her location, Just as she sent it, her phone rang

She thought it was Brett calling, but the incoming call was from an unknown number

Hesitating, Izabella answered the phone. “Hello?”

Various noises came from the phone, but no one responded. She was about to hang up, thinking it was a wrong call when Alan’s voice suddenly came through.

“Izabello, its your dad‘

“Dad?” she frowned, “Aren’t you on your way to court? And whose phone is this? Where are you?”

A sense of unease arose in Izabella, and she gripped her phone, her expression became serious

“Izabella, I’m sorry for all these years haven’t been a good father After Im gone, you’ll have to take care of your brother.” Alan’s voice trembled

“Towe you these words. You’ve done very well, so well that I’m proud fm sorry, Izabella Be careful with Brett

“Where are you going. Dad? Alan! Answer me Izabella cried out his name in desperation. Alan would usually scold her by now, but this time, he didn’t

Sudden noises of wind and other vibrations erupted from the phone

“Dad! Answer me! Where are you? I come find you, I promise to give you everything! I’ll give you and my brother The Salotti Group! I won’t ask for anything Just say something.”

All kinds of sounds came through the phone, but not Alan’s voice Izabella’s breathing became erratic, her voice trembling

Covered in cold sweat tears streamed down her face, soaking it. She sobbed and pleaded Alan softly

Then, she heard a sound like a stone falling, a booming noise that made the heart stop

Everything went quiet, and a feeling of despair enveloped her

Izabella’s mind went blank, and she tremulously called out, “Dad?”

No one answered

Trying a few more times she put down her phone its screen now dark. She didn’t know when the call ended. She hurriedly called back, only to be met with a cold automated message

“Sorry the number you have dialed is switched off

Her tears fell on the phone screen, blurring it as she struggled to wipe them away. She could never reach through, no matter how many times she tried to call
