166 Outburst of Great Sadness

“Have you heard it clearly, Isabella?” Rosy asked in disdain.

Then she sneered, “Lucas was drunk that day, but you were not. Why do you think that you can be with him after you kissed him when he was drunk? You are a fool.”

John chimed in, “Isabella is bold. She looked serious yesterday. I almost believed that Lucas had betrayed Rosy!”

Isabella squatted there in a daze as if she hadn’t heard the sarcasm and mockery.

She stared at Lucas.

But Lucas just sat there still and didn’t speak for her. All her hopes and expectations for a happy life shattered in an instant.

Tears welled up in Lucas’s eyes. His black eyes looked like black pearls that had been soaked in water. He apologized with regret, “Isabella, I’m sorry.”

However, Isabella did not look at him or answer him. She wiped her tears and stood up. “Dad, can I leave?” she asked Carl calmly.

“Lucas said that he was in the wrong. He hopes we won’t make things difficult for you. I agreed, so you can leave,” Carl said coldly.

.....

Isabella nodded and bent over to pack her bag.

Lucas grabbed her hand in a hurry. “Isabella, if you are angry, you can hit me. All in all, it is all my fault,” he said.

“I’m fine. It’s because of my wishful thinking that you came back in a hurry. I’m sorry,” Isabella said thinly.

She gently took away her hand and stood there quietly. Then, she politely bowed to the people present and said, “I’m sorry. I’ll go to school first.”

Then, she turned around and left.

Joseph had been scanning the surveillance video of the bus until noon. However, he didn’t find Isabella’s figure in the video. It was then that he found himself a fool.

He wondered why he didn’t contact Isabella’s family first. He then thought maybe it was because Isabella rarely mentioned her family that he forget to contact them the moment Isabella lost.

But even so, he didn’t understand why Isabella hadn’t informed him in advance.

He thought there were still a lot of ways for her to contact him even if her phone was temporarily broken.

As Isabella hadn’t gone to school for the whole morning, he thought that he should go to her family to find her first. Otherwise, he would be worried about her all the time.

He left his work behind and drove to the Smith’s with Gerry. He didn’t even have lunch.

To his surprise, they saw Isabella passing by their car on the road.

He had never expected that he would finally find her halfway.

“Hey! Isabella!” Joseph got out of the car in anger, “Why are you wandering here?”

Isabella was indeed wandering. She didn’t hear Joseph at all.

She did not know how she came out of the Smith’s, where she was going, and what to do.

She had known Lucas for more than ten years. She had a crush on him long ago and regarded him as a prince charming in her heart.

But it was because of him that she was overwhelmed by despair today.

She wondered if there was anything worth lingering in this world after Lucas said that she misunderstood him.

She suddenly wanted to die.

She thought no one in this world cared about her.

She was disappointed when she found that no one in her family came to comfort her after she left dejectedly.

A foolish idea occurred to her. She wanted to fill her stomach first and then drown herself in the lake.

She thought, in this way, she could at least have the strength to strive for a better family when she was reborn. She didn’t have such unrealistic thinking as to be reborn in a rich family. She just hoped that she could be reborn in a warm family that could shield her and provide her with a carefree life.

All of a sudden, she shook her head repeatedly.

Considering the current situation, she thought no one would look for her even if her corpse was eaten up by the fish in the lake. In that case, her death would become an unsettled case and it would cause a lot of unnecessary trouble to the police.

Moreover, she thought she might not even have a chance to be reborn if she was drowned to death.

She then thought about hanging herself.

She thought she could go to the school’s grove in a night and hang herself.

Compared with drowning herself, she thought she could at least attract people’s attention if she hung herself.

She was satisfied with this idea.

Suddenly, a car horn rang out.

She turned her head and found herself standing in the middle of the road.

A large truck full of goods roared over. She could even see the fear and shock on the driver’s face.

She suddenly thought that she might die in an accident.

‘What a pity. With such a horrible death, maybe I won’t have the chance to be reborn.

Well, forget it. At least, it brings an end to my miserable life. I hoped that the driver won’t be scared by my horrible death.’

However, before the truck rushed over, she was hit by someone.

In an instant, the scenery in front of her changed rapidly. She felt her body being carried by a great force and flew out.

When she fell to the ground, her mind cleared. She looked at the sky and covered her aching body. Finally, she got up from the ground.

Before he could figure out what had happened, her head was rudely poked.

“What are you doing? Do you want to die?” Joseph shouted in anger.

He paused and panted for air. Then, he continued, “Are you deaf or blind? You should be careful when you cross the road, shouldn’t you? Luckily, I’m here, otherwise, you would have died in the accident!”

Only then did Isabella realize it was Joseph who saved her. Joseph’s face flushed with anger.

Tears welled up in Isabella’s eyes.

“Stop crying!” Joseph said angrily.

He poked her head rudely and asked, “Give me an explanation first. Where did you go last night? We are worried about you the whole night. Why didn’t you answer the phone call? Did you go home or hang out with another man? If it is the latter, I won’t let you go!”

Joseph stared at Isabella and waited for her answer.

Isabella could no longer hold back the pain and grievance in her heart. She hugged him and wailed miserably. “Joseph, I was wrong. I don’t want to go home anymore. I don’t want to see those people anymore,” she said.

Joseph was stunned.

Originally, he was very angry. However, when he saw her crying miserably, he felt that his words just now might be too harsh, so he comforted, “Alright, forget it. I won’t blame you anymore. Don’t cry. The crowd will laugh at you!”

However, Isabella just hugged him and continued to cry as if she hadn’t heard what he said.

People around began to gather there as they heard her crying. They looked at Isabella and Joseph.

“Is she scared by the truck?” Joseph muttered.

He was at a loss of how to comfort her. “I will ask the chef to cook your favorite soup for you. It’s tasty! God! Please stop crying!” he said.

However, his words didn’t work at all.

“Forget it! I apologize. I shouldn’t have poked your head and scolded you. Don’t cry, okay?” Joseph asked desperately.

Gerry rushed over after he parked the car. “Mr. Joseph, we’d better take Miss Isabella to the car first. People are gathering here,” Gerry advised.

“Okay,” Joseph answered.

He stood up and dragged Isabella up as well. “Alright, get up, let’s go home,” he said.

“Okay, let’s go home, Joseph,” Isabella looked at Joseph and muttered.

However, before she could stand firm, she fainted.
