Chapter 465: Darkness
The latter part of the diary was written but then crossed out by someone.
Isabella thought about what Wade did to Esme and could guess that Wade must have done something to Lova back then.
Isabella eagerly wanted to read further.
But she found that the dates jumped to six months later.
In between, there were obvious signs of many pages being torn out.
Perhaps after that incident, Lova wrote something in her diary, but she didn't think it was very good, so she tore it out.
[June 18
Weather: Sunny
Mood: Very happy
Today is my birthday, and I am so happy.
I must eat more cake today. My mom usually doesn't let me eat these things to keep my figure.
Today is a good opportunity. I must eat and drink more while there are many people around.
Ah, I really want to eat cake.
I wish I didn't have to dance in front of the guests today.
Oh, I have a big birthday wish: I hope to see my sister soon, not Elodie. Another sister, the one Mom gave birth to. Mom said her name is Isabella.
Isabella, happy birthday to me.
And I wish you happiness every day.
June 9
Weather: Dark
It's 1 AM on the 9th.
I was raped by Wade.
He put something in my juice. I hate him, no, I despise him.
I want to kill him!!]
This diary entry was only a few lines, but the handwriting was different from the previous neat and delicate style. Every stroke was written with difficulty.
Isabella could almost see that dark night, Lova leaning on the desk, her nails digging in so hard they almost broke.
That bastard Wade really raped Lova.
Lova was Wade's sister!
What kind of mindset did Wade have to do such a thing?
Just reading these words made Isabella feel suffocated. At this moment, she couldn't imagine what kind of devastation Lova went through after experiencing all this.
Isabella flipped further but found nothing more.
She kept flipping to the last page, getting more anxious as she went.
She was desperate to know what happened next and more about Lova's fate.
But when Isabella reached the last page, it was all blank.
All the diary entries ended there, with no more records or signs of torn pages.
This indicated that after that, Lova never wrote in the diary again. Perhaps she had locked it away in a drawer, never to be picked up again.
A sense of helplessness suddenly arose in Isabella's heart.
"What are you looking for?" Quentin's voice sounded above her.
Isabella found that Quentin had somehow appeared behind her.
Startled, Isabella dropped the diary on the ground.
Quentin frowned slightly, picked up the diary, and gently wiped the dust off with his sleeve. "You don't need to look anymore. She never touched this diary again after that day."
After reading the diary, Isabella was engulfed in a deep gloom. Her throat felt choked, and she didn't know what to say.
Quentin's gaze swept over her slightly reddened eyes, coed, "Because she mentioned you in her diary, I thought she would want you to know about her. So I came to find you."
Isabella lowered her eyes, still feeling a sting in the corners.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Jack's voice came through the door, "Isabella?"
Isabella was about to go open the door but was pulled back by Quentin, "Don't open it."
Isabella was puzzled.
"Tell him to leave. I will go." Quentin whispered.
Isabella thought Quentin might really be here just for the diary.
Not wanting to make things difficult for him, she said towards the door, "Jack, what's up?"
"I brought you some fruit." Jack answered.
"Leave it at the door. I'll get it later."
Jack paused for a moment outside the door and said, "Okay."
Then Jack left.
Only then did Quentin let go of Isabella's hand, speaking in a low voice, "Thank you."
Isabella shook her head, "You should go."
She didn't want to make things difficult for Quentin, entirely because of Lova.
But that didn't mean she could forgive everything Quentin had done to her.
Quentin didn't say anything more and turned to leave.
After that night, Isabella had several dreams, all featuring Lova.
A few days later, Seb told her that Wade was dead.
Wade was found in a garbage dump, and when Richard arrived with his men, Quentin had already gotten there first.
Afterward, Quentin shot Wade in front of everyone.
"Did Wade just die like that?" Isabella was a bit indignant.
Thinking about everything Wade did to Lova, Isabella felt that letting Wade die so easily was too lenient.
Scum like Wade should be tortured.
Seb held her hand, "Quentin's shot didn't hit a vital spot. Wade wasn't dead at the time, but if not treated in time, he would slowly bleed to death. Someone called the police, they took Wade and got him the best doctor."
Isabella clenched her fingers, feeling even more absurd.
She initially thought a single shot was too easy for Wade. Now she felt it would have been better to send him to hell, rather than risk him escaping.
Someone as rotten to the core as Wade didn't deserve to live.
Seb seemed to read her thoughts and smiled, "Don't worry, he won't escape."
Isabella looked at Seb, blinking in confusion, waiting for him to continue.
"Do you know who the best doctor in Silvercrest is?" Seb asked.
Isabella blinked, and a face suddenly popped into her mind.
But she couldn't recall the name.
Seb replied, "Jason."
Isabella suddenly understood.
Seb continued, "Jason took the job to treat Wade. But within a few days, Wade's wound started to fester and grow maggots. He felt an unbearable itch, as if it was crawling all over his body. At first, Wade could endure it, but one night, he couldn't take it anymore. He tore off the bandage, revealing a highly rotten and foul-smelling wound, with maggots constantly wriggling out."
Hearing this, Isabella couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Seb stopped, "Sorry, I shouldn't have told you this."
Isabella held back her nausea, her eyes red, "I still think Wade didn't suffer enough. But isn't Jason one of Bruno's men? Why would he do this to Wade?"
"It's said that Lova saved Jason's life back then. So to Jason, only Lova was his benefactor. And I think you can tell, Jason's feelings for Lova were not ordinary." Seb explained softly.
