Chapter 85 She's the Source of Isaac's Pain
"Since you want me to be good with Kalista so much, I will do as you wish," Isaac gritted his teeth and said.
Then, he forcefully pushed Nora away.
Nora stumbled.
She sat down on the steps.
She looked at Isaac blankly.
But he had already turned around without any nostalgia, walking towards Kalista, leaving her with a cold back.
"Isaac." Kalista nervously looked at Isaac.
Seeing him in such a furious state, she instinctively stepped back.
Even though Isaac was angry at Nora, not her, she still felt scared.
After all, she and Nora had schemed against Isaac last night.
Even if Isaac hadn't questioned her about it.
But if Isaac wanted to investigate, he could find out for sure.
She was afraid that she would do or say something wrong, and Isaac would redirect his anger towards her.
However, Isaac walked up to her and grabbed her hand.
Kalista looked at Isaac in disbelief.
Did Isaac actually take the initiative to hold her hand?
She had been with Isaac for so many years, and he had never taken the initiative to hold her hand.
Even if she deliberately reached out to hold his hand, he would quickly withdraw it.
But now, he was actually getting close to her on his own!
Was she dreaming?
"Nan- Isaac... Are you okay?" Kalista was both excited and scared by Isaac's unusual behavior.
She swallowed her saliva and nervously looked at Isaac.
Isaac said, "I'll take you out to buy something, and starting today, you'll move in with me."
Kalista's pupils suddenly dilated, and her head seemed to explode, buzzing all the time.
Isaac actually suggested that she move in with him?
Although she had already moved in yesterday.
But that was to serve Nora.
That was different.
Now Isaac took the initiative to say it, that meant he wanted her to stay by his side as the mistress!
She had endured for so many years, and finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.
Kalista was extremely excited. She tried hard to restrain her excitement and said softly, "Okay... I'll do as you say. I'll stay wherever you want me to stay."
Isaac held her hand and walked out of the villa.
Nora stared at their backs in a daze.
She didn't feel very hurt inside.
But it felt like something important had been lost.
She sat on the ground for a long time.
When she snapped out of it, she realized that her face was covered in tears.
As she reached out to wipe them away, her palm felt wet.
Nora clenched her teeth and forced herself to hold back the tears.
She grabbed the railing and struggled to stand up.
Unsteadily, she walked back to her guest room.
Then she took out her phone and dialed Mortimer Radcliffe's number.
The phone was quickly answered.
"Why didn't you tell me that the medicine you prepared for Isaac needed to be catalyzed by his loved one?" Nora angrily questioned without waiting for Mortimer Radcliffe to speak.
"Why didn't you tell me that after he took that medicine, he would mistake Kalista for me?"
"He only got involved with her because he mistook her for me!"
The tears that had just stopped instantly flowed again.
"Mortimer Radcliffe, you knew that Isaac still loved me, so why didn't you tell me?"
"Why did you keep deceiving me and telling me that Isaac hated me? That I should let him go?"
"I always considered you a good friend. Why did you have to lie to me? And deliberately manipulate me?!"
Nora was both angry and disappointed.
She had always regarded Mortimer Radcliffe as a good friend. She had confided in him about many things regarding Isaac.
Mortimer Radcliffe had always been like a caring older brother, accompanying her and comforting her when she was sad.
But she never expected that he had been lying to her all along...
Mortimer Radcliffe remained silent for a few seconds before slowly speaking, "Nora, calm down. I didn't lie to you."
"It was only in the past few days that I found out Isaac had never gotten over you."
"It was Kalista who told me. That's how I found out."
"I actually considered telling you, but I was afraid that you would cancel the plan if you found out, and it would be difficult for me to help you in the future, so I didn't tell you."
"You said it yourself, you are not carrying Isaac's child. This child absolutely cannot be kept."
"Furthermore, it's better to abort it as early as possible. Otherwise, when it's full-term, Isaac will take you for an amniocentesis and a DNA test on the fetus. It will be too late by then."
"If Edmund and Katie find out, do you know the consequences?"
Nora clenched her lips and tears kept flowing down.
Mortimer Radcliffe said, "I know you're not afraid of death, and Edmund won't do anything to you."
"But if they find out the truth, do you think they can handle this blow?"
Nora trembled all over and clenched her fists tightly.
She knew that the plan couldn't be canceled no matter what.
She had to find a way to lower her grandparents' expectations for the fetus in her belly, to prevent them from being overly saddened and physically drained after her death.
The plan for Kalista to become pregnant with Isaac's child must proceed no matter what.
She couldn't accept this method.
"I know the plan can't be canceled, but why can't you use another method? Why do you have to give him that kind of medicine? Why make him take Kalista as me?"
Mortimer Radcliffe said helplessly, "I don't want to use that medicine either."
"But Kalista told me that regular aphrodisiacs don't work on Isaac."
"She said that not long ago, Isaac was drugged, but even though he was drugged, he still didn't touch her and ran away directly."
"I'm afraid if I use a regular drug, the plan will fail, so I have been trying to find this kind of medicine..."
A hint of doubt appeared in Nora's mind.
Isaac didn't touch Kalista even though he was drugged?
Didn't they already have a relationship long ago?
Why did Isaac run away after being drugged instead of touching Kalista?
Doubts filled Nora's mind.
A ridiculous speculation arose in her mind.
Could it be that Isaac had never touched Kalista before?
Kalista has been by Isaac's side for so many years, and during their three years of marriage, Isaac often went to see Kalista.
On the day they divorced, Isaac spent the night with Kalista. How could they not have had a relationship?
But if they did have a relationship, why would Kalista tell Mortimer Radcliffe that Isaac had been drugged and hadn't touched her?
Why would Kalista agree to let Mortimer Radcliffe use such a drug to plot against Isaac?
Nora's mind became more and more chaotic as she thought about it.
Mortimer Radcliffe's gentle voice earnestly said, "Nora, I'm sorry, but if I had the chance again, I would still choose to keep it from you."
"You can blame me, hate me, but my desire to protect and help you will never change."
"Actually, whether Isaac still loves you doesn't matter at all."
"Even if he still loves you, he cannot let go of his hatred for you. You and him can never go back to the past."
"Nora, accept reality, leave him earlier, stop tormenting yourself and stop tormenting him."
"He cannot let go of you, but also hates you. His heart must be in pain."
"Do you want him to live in pain forever?"
