169 But You Didnât Do Anything
âIsabella, you missed three lessons. You are finished!â
Outside the classroom, when David saw Isabella, he immediately gave her a thumbs up, âA hero among women. I admire you.â
Jane immediately slapped David, âDo you how to talk? Isabella is a heroine!â
As she spoke, she walked towards Isabella and asked in a low voice, âHow are you? I called you but you didnât answer. I was so anxious.â
Indeed, when the phone was not around, Jane and David called her mostly apart from the people of the Wilson Manor.
Her two friends treated her well. They were spent with her on many difficult days. But there were too many bad things in her family, so it was impossible to drag two innocent friends forever.
âForget it.â
Isabella waved her hand and pretended to be relaxed, âAnyway, itâs nothing good.â
âDid the Smith family know about the matter between you and Lukas? Did they blame you? Youâre so calm. How did it go?â
.....
Before Jane finished her sentence, she suddenly raised her voice in excitement, âSpeak of the devil! He is here! Isabella, your dear Prince Charming is coming again!â
Isabella saw Lukas from afar, so she said, âIâll go in first.â Then she turned around and left.
âIsabella! Wait a minute!â
Lukas ran over and grabbed Isabella, panting a little, âIsabella, can we talk?â
Isabella looked at Lukas holding her hand and laughed at herself. Then she brushed it away and said sarcastically, âBrother-in-law, please pay some respect. If you have anything to say, just talk here. Otherwise, it will make people misunderstand, right?â
Jane immediately stared at the two people in disbelief.
Lukas thought for a moment and said in a low voice, âWhere did you go yesterday? Why didnât you answer my call?â
âWhen I went out, the truck almost crushed me. Then I fainted and had a fever. I was on a drip in my friendâs house and slept for a night.â
âAs for your call, will I get money if I pick it up? I just ignore it.â
âFever? Then now...â
Lukas reached out and wanted to touch Isabellaâs forehead.
Isabella shook him off and was instantly enraged, âLukas! Please behave yourself! If you touch me again, I will call my sister!â
People around looked over. Lukas looked at Isabella who was suddenly furious and could not help but take a step back. He said awkwardly, âIsabella, I wonât touch you. Let me ask you, Jane is clearly at school. Which friendâs house did you go to?â
Isabella sneered, âAnd then?â
Lukas looked at Isabella who pretended to be easy, his eyes filled with sorrow, âIsabella... I donât have any other intentions. I was afraid that something would happen to you. Tell me your common contacts, so that I can know whether you are safe or not.â
âOf course itâs safe.â
âWhatâs wrong with me staying at my boyfriendâs house? Lukas, you should take care of yourself.â Isabella pinched his palms.
âBoyfriend! Isabella! How can you...â
â...â
âItâs time for class.â
âYou should hurry up and go in. As a teacher, itâs not good to be late.â Isabella smiled at Lukas and said.
âIsabella...â
...
In the afternoon, Isabella had a play.
What bad luck.
Chance didnât show up themselves, but they would go after if they needed you.
Today was probably the day she did not want to see Lukas the most after growing up.
Forget it, there was only one line, it would be fine if she passed.
When Isabella arrived at the set, Lukas was already putting on makeup. He looked at her, but she ran to the other side to put on makeup.
She did not want to have any contact with him at all.
It was a simple play for today.
She took the book and bumped into the male lead. She apologized repeatedly and Lukas helped her pick up the book. Then she was stunned when she looked up and saw him.
It was over.
It was so simple.
However, she was âstuckâ repeatedly.
How was she going to perform the âstunningâ today?
Facing a man who betrayed her, how was it possible?
She could only be frightened.
âIsabella, whatâs wrong with you? You canât accomplish such an easy play,â The director finally got angry.
âIâm sorry, Director Lee! Please give me another chance!â Isabella apologized repeatedly.
âIsabella was sick yesterday. She might not be in a good condition today. Director Lee, I will give her some guidance. You can take other parts first. What do you think?â
âWell, since Lukas spoke, so be it.â
âThank you, Director Lee.â
Lukas pulled Isabella by the arm and left.
âTell me, what did you mean by staying at your boyfriendâs house last night?â Lukas asked.
Isabella shook off Lukas, âItâs what I said! Didnât you come here to guide me? What do you mean by talking some private affairs?â
âI know you hate me, that night...â
Lukas pursed his lips and looked sad, âBut Isabella... I canât hurt Rosy. I was in a coma for more than half a year in the hospital. I would be a cripple now if she didnât care for me. I promised to give her happiness. I canât be ungrateful, otherwise, I donât even deserve to be a human...â
Isabella looked at Lukas who was in a dilemma and felt sad.
Sure enough, Lukas had always thought that it was Rosy who took care of him in the hospital.
She had once âdreamedâ that Lukas had fallen in love with Rosy because of ârepaying the kindnessâ, but then she thought again, how could love be linked to repaying the kindness?
Lukas must love Rosy deeply to give her a promise.
So she had been silently watching the two of them fall in love, but never dared to confess to Lukas. Now...
But things had come to this. The misunderstanding didnât matter anymore.
In the end, he abandoned her...
âIn order not to be ungrateful to Rosy, you chose to flee away and deny what you did?â Isabella said with a desolate and mocking smile.
Lukas pursed his lips and said anxiously, âForget about it. Isabella, tell me honestly, who is your boyfriend? Is it that punk with colorful hair?â
âLukas! Watch your words! Platt is my friend, not some little punk. This matter has nothing to do with him! Donât judge people by their appearances!â Isabella said angrily.
âSorry, I apologize.â
Lukas held Isabella tightly as if he worried that she would run away, âNo matter who he is, you will suffer if you sleep in his house in that state yesterday, and...â
âSo what? At least he saved me from the accident! And you did nothing!â
âEven if he wants to take some benefits from me, it makes sense!â Isabella growled and pushed Lukas away.
âIsabella!â
âStop! Lukas, if you continue to pester me, donât blame me for being impolite!â
