Chapter 408 Isabella, Let's Go Home
People often said that all roads led to Rome, but Isabella found all the roads blocked.
She had no other way to go.
But should she just endure it?
That was Impossible.
This time, she was lucky to survive, but what about next time?
This time, the babies fluked it and got away with it, but what about next time?
Isabella didn't dare to think about it.
Relying on her memory, she searched for Lynda's residence.
She had only been here once, so finding it precisely was quite difficult.
After circling the neighborhood several times, Isabella vaguely felt that the villa ahead looked very familiar.
Her eyes lit up, and she stepped forward.
Fueled by hatred, Isabella walked faster and faster.
Above her, fireworks suddenly exploded.
Pine Ridge Gardens allowed fireworks?
Instinctively, Isabella looked towards where it came from.
With just one glance, she was captivated by the flowers scattered on the ground not far away.
However, what caught her attention even more was the couple standing among the flowers.
Lynda, with a shy smile, held a bouquet of roses, displaying a fake, delicate demeanor.
Women always knew women, and Isabella could see through Lynda's facade at a glance.
In front of Lynda, Samuel, dressed in a sharp suit, was kneeling on one knee.
Isabella stood behind Samuel and couldn't see his actions, but it was easy to guess. A proposal, of course, meant opening the ring box, taking out the ring, and gently placing it on Lynda's finger.
From the corner, Isabella hid and watched the romantic scene ahead.
Even though she stood in the sunlight, with the sun's rays falling on her, she felt no warmth.
Isabella felt cold, her teeth chattering.
How could this world be so unfair?
Those who had done the worst things end up finding happiness?
It was so unfair.
There was nothing fair about!
Isabella revealed a pitiful smile, mocking this cruel world.
Pain grew up wild and clung to her heart, wrapping it tightly.
The pain was so intense that her vision blurred.
Isabella felt dizzy, her head heavy, and her ears sometimes buzzing with noise.
She took a step forward, but her legs felt weak. After she lifted her left foot, her right foot couldn't support her weight, and she fell backward.
Isabella's left foot, which was supposed to step forward, hung in the air for a short time before stepping back, trying to steady herself.
However, as soon as her foot touched the ground, everything went black.
Immediately, Isabella's knees buckled, almost causing her to fall. Fortunately, a pair of strong arms held her waist and pulled her into an embrace.
The familiar warmth, the familiar scent, and the familiar chest—Isabella knew it all too well.
An hour ago, Sebastian's embrace was Isabella's refuge and home.
However, now, Isabella's body reflexively trembled, and touching Sebastian felt like being pricked by needles, causing sharp pain.
"Isabella!" Sebastian had guessed Isabella would come to Pine Ridge Gardens and rushed over, finding her there.
He tightened his grip, holding her close, and anxiously called out, "Isabella."
Isabella was as fragile as a porcelain doll.
Her face was pale, devoid of any color.
Her eyes were closed, and her eyelashes trembled slightly. If Sebastian weren't so close, he wouldn't have noticed.
Her breathing was faint and light, almost devoid of life.
Sebastian's heart sank.
He was panicking.
Not long ago, she had shared the babies' every move with him, smiling so sweetly and happily. The scenes were still fresh in his mind.
"Isabella!" Sebastian picked her up. "Let's go home. I'll take you home."
Isabella couldn't hear what Sebastian was saying; she was too tired to open her eyes.
She couldn't hear him, but she vaguely sensed his urgency, calling her name repeatedly.
Urgent?
Urgent for what?
Wasn't everything that had happened caused by Sebastian?
Isabella thought, 'Mr. Lawrence, stop pretending.'
It was so hypocritical and made her sick.
Still, Isabella clung to Sebastian's tie, holding onto a faint hope, and whispered, "Make Lynda pay."
"If she pays the price, I won't hold any grudges."
Isabella, in a semi-conscious state, spoke in a very low voice.
In her haze, Isabella realized this.
She worried that Sebastian wouldn't hear her.
Sebastian halted in his tracks.
Feeling his hesitation, Isabella knew he had heard her.
Silently, she waited for Sebastian's judgment.
In moments of weakness, the mind often became muddled, and Isabella was no exception.
She held onto a glimmer of hope.
Sebastian's gaze shifted from the couple proposing in the distance back to Isabella's pale, haggard face.
His cold, hateful eyes softened instantly.
Sebastian didn't lack hatred or anger, but he had a debt to repay.
He didn't want to be entangled with Lynda anymore. Rather than owing her, he preferred to owe Isabella.
From now on, he wouldn't consider anyone else.
As for the harm caused to Isabella this time, Sebastian was confident he could heal her wounds.
He leaned down and gently kissed Isabella's forehead, his voice hoarse as he said, "Isabella, let's go home."
In other words, he wouldn't deal with Lynda.
Isabella's hand, which had been clutching Sebastian's tie, went limp and released.
The hope in her heart was crushed by Sebastian once again.
He was so cruel.
This was the man she loved.
This was the love Sebastian had always talked about.
Isabella couldn't even muster a bitter smile and completely lost consciousness.
Outside Pine Ridge Gardens.
Lynda used the flowers to cover her face, pretending to be shy, but in reality, she was watching Sebastian and Isabella from a distance.
Seeing their state, Isabella must have known about Sebastian's protection, right?
They must have had a fight, right?
Lynda's smile grew wider.
She wasn't afraid of Samuel finding out. Who knew why she was happy?
She was just happy because Samuel proposed to her.
Samuel, kneeling on one knee, glanced at the familiar figures out of the corner of his eye.
He looked up, giving Lynda a cold look, his long, narrow eyes filled with a mysterious smile.
"Lynda, have you thought it over?" he asked. "I'm really nervous, you know."
