Chapter 59 Daniel's Cousin?
"The doctor said the fetus has abnormalities and recommended terminating the pregnancy," Daniel said.
Isabella exclaimed, "They only discovered it was a deformity when her belly is this big?"
"Yes, I only found out today."
Isabella couldn't help but glance at the girl again, her expression complicated.
The girl was looking at her vigilantly!
When their eyes met, the girl furrowed her brows, then lowered her head, avoiding eye contact once again.
Isabella felt puzzled. Was there any hatred between them?
They had never met before and didn't know each other, so why was there such strong hostility when they first met?
She didn't provoke this girl either, right?
"Her mood isn't great today, so you should just leave her alone," Daniel seemed to see through Isabella's thoughts and said.
Isabella averted her gaze. "Yes, encountering such a situation can indeed be very frustrating. You should try to comfort her as much as possible. If possible, try to persuade her to go back to school. Going to college is not easy, and she shouldn't neglect her studies."
Isabella had experienced the disadvantages of not having a degree, knowing how challenging it could be in the real world without one.
"I also think so. After the surgery is done and I have recovered for a while, I will let her go back to school."
"Alright, then you quickly take her to see the doctor, we can chat later."
"Okay, we'll contact each other by phone again."
"Okay."
After saying goodbye to Daniel, Isabella continued walking towards the inpatient department, while Daniel took his cousin to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Isabella entered the elevator, still lost in thought.
'The girl just now looked at me with a strange look in her eyes, as if she had seen a rival. But isn't Daniel her cousin? And I don't even know her boyfriend. Where does this hostility come from? Am I overthinking? Or did I see it wrong?
'It's also possible that the girl's bad mood was the reason she showed such strong hostility when she saw her. If there was really something between her and Daniel, Daniel wouldn't have been so calm when he saw me, right? What else could there be between them? After all, they are cousins.'
Isabella felt she was overthinking. She cleared her mind and then went to find Albert.
At the same time, the girl looked at Daniel with tears in her eyes and inexplicably said, "Is she the one?"
Daniel furrowed his brow. "You should go see a doctor first."
The girl struggled to break free from his arms, speaking emotionally, "I was asking you a question, is it her?!"
The girl's loud voice attracted a lot of attention.
The crowd was looking at them, their eyes revealing various expressions.
Daniel gazed at the girl, his expression inscrutable, devoid of both anger and warmth in his tone.
"If you don't want me to accompany you, I will call your mom right now."
She suddenly started trembling and dared not speak anymore.
She didn't even dare to cry out loud.
Daniel handed her a tissue without any explanation, as if she had never asked any questions.
"The child can't be saved. Wipe away the tears and wait for the doctor to call you," he said.
The girl lowered her head to take the tissue, too afraid to look at him, tears streaming down her face incessantly.
In Albert's hospital room.
Albert saw Isabella and was very excited. "Miss..."
Isabella smiled and said, "I am much older than you Albert. You should call me 'Auntie.'"
"Auntie."
"How are you today, Albert?"
"Happy."
"You seemed happy before, was there something worth being happy about? Tell me, so I can be happy too, okay?"
"You came, so I'm happy."
Isabella smiled and said, "I'm happy to see you too."
Upon hearing this, Albert became even happier. His eyes blinked lively, filled with energy.
Lily was moved to tears, her eyes turning red. "Albert really liked you. He was only happy when he saw you."
"This proves that Albert and I were destined to meet, right, Albert?"
"Yes, it was meant to be."
Isabella gently touched his cheek and said to Lily, "Can I have some time alone with Albert?"
"Sure, you two talk, I'll wait outside. Just call me if you need anything."
"Okay."
After Lily left, Isabella waved at Albert.
"Albert, look at my hands. Let's count together. One, two, three, four, five..."
With a gentle snap of her fingers, Albert suddenly passed out.
Twenty minutes later, Isabella came out of the hospital room.
Lily quickly asked, "How is he doing? Has Albert improved? Can he be discharged?"
"Hmm, I just hypnotized Albert and delved into his inner world, where I observed significant changes. Now, there is sunshine, grass, and a cat in his heart. Did he really like cats before?"
Lily felt upset in her heart. "...He used to like cats. He had one as a pet, but then got kidnapped while looking for the cat, and the cat disappeared too."
"No wonder... If the family allows, you can get another one. Cats have a healing effect and can help Albert."
"Alright! I'll make arrangements as soon as I get home. So, can he be discharged from the hospital now?"
"He can go home to recuperate, but mental illnesses are not like common colds that can be quickly recovered from. It requires a long process to fully recover, so you need to be mentally prepared and not rush the healing."
"I know, I was already grateful that he could improve, we had really lost hope before meeting you. Isabella, you are the benefactor of our Perry family. I don't know how to thank you. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, be sure to let me know."
"You don't have to be so polite. Today you also helped me at the mall, and I am very grateful."
Lily's nostrils suddenly flared. "This is different, sigh. When someone has helped you greatly, there's no need to be overly polite. From now on, you are like a true sister to me. If anyone dares to bully you, I will be the first one to stand up for you!"
Isabella gave a slight smile after listening.
"By the way, shall we have dinner together tonight?"
Isabella was just about to refuse when Lily said, "I want to invite you to dinner not only to show my appreciation, but also because... ever since Albert had an accident, he has not stepped out of the door, whether at home or in the hospital."
"I want to take him out while you're here, let him breathe some fresh air. He has to take that first brave step, right? If you're not here, he definitely wouldn't want to go out, and we wouldn't dare take him out on our own."
Isabella couldn't refuse, so she agreed to it.
While Albert was still asleep, she called Freya to talk about eating.
Freya mentioned that Hugo, Justin, and Paul were still sleeping, so she told Isabella not to worry about them. When they woke up, she would have things ready for them.
After hanging up the phone, Isabella still felt warm inside.
In this lifetime, it was truly fortunate to have met such a good friend.
Freya and Eleanor were her lucky charms.
Suddenly, she thought of Eleanor, and Isabella remembered Daniel and his cousin, as well as the look in his cousin's eyes when he saw her.
She looked at Isabella in a competitive way, making her feel uneasy.
After hanging up the phone, as if guided by some invisible force, Isabella found herself in the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Daniel and his cousin were nowhere to be found, so she went to ask the doctor about them.
But the doctors here all keep tight-lipped, refusing to disclose any information about the patients.
She knew this was what a doctor should do, so she didn't complain either.
Just as she was about to leave, she happened to run into Elijah who was getting off work.
