When Adele opened her eyes, she saw white walls. The light was so dazzling that she couldn't help but frown.
Her mind was not very clear, and she felt painful all over.
"Are you awake?"
Adele looked over, "Jimmy?"
James smiled gently, "I thought you wouldn't want to recognize me. But it's good that you've waken up. Are you hungry? I'll buy you something to eat. You have slept for two days."
Adele came to sense instantly as she looked at James who was next to her.
Had she been asleep for two days?
Before she lost consciousness, she clearly thought that she was going to die, but she was not afraid at all and she was smiling, because Issac wouldn't be alone. The only thing that made her regret was that Arvis was very small...
However... she was not dead, but she couldn't feel happy at all.
"Where's Arvis? The child at the foot of the mountain. That's... my son..."
James nodded, "We found him. He might be a little frightened that day, but now he's much better. I took him to my house. Elizabeth is with him. You can rest assured."
"Okay, thank you so much."
Thinking of the explosion that day, she closed her eyes with difficulty. When she opened her eyes again, there was no sadness in her calm eyes, "Did you arrive there later?"
She didn't make it very clear, but James immediately understood what she was talking about. He nodded "Yeah, you had obviously gone down the mountain. Why did you want to go back? Do you know how anxious we were when we saw you like that?"
Adele smiled with a pale face, "What could I do if I didn't go up?" She looked at James, "Jimmy, you know what? I came back to A City a long time ago. For many reasons, I didn't dare to meet you as Adele. I was afraid that you would recognize me, and I was even more afraid that... you would Issac because you and Benjamin were his close friends."
James didn't say anything and listened to her quietly.
"Three years ago, I hated him to the extreme. I thought that it was him who wanted me to have an abortion. I came back to A City because of some other reasons, but I didn't expect to meet him, really! Moreover... he took me to the house he bought a few years ago. I really didn't understand what he was thinking about. I thought that he would feel happy when he saw my helpless look. I escaped three years ago, and he wanted to torture me when he found that I was alive."
Saying this, she chuckled, and there was regret and guilt on her face, "How ridiculous it is. I went to the Bai family before and heard the conversation between Lucho and Madelyn. They talked about what had happened three years ago, and I didn't understand, but I didn't ask him though I lived with him every day. If it weren't for the fact that Maxwell caught me and Lucho told me the truth, I wouldn't have known how terribly wrong I was."
Her eyes were brimming with tears and she said in a choked voice, "If I asked him after I heard the conversation between Lucho and Madelyn, I wouldn't have quarreled with him for so long and those bad things wouldn't have happened."
James nodded with a depressed expression. He even sighed softly.
His sigh was very low and light, but it was like a heavy hammer, smashing Adele's heart heavily.
Her eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her face in an instant. However, her lips quivered as she asked in a trebling voice, as if she couldn't feel the tears on her face, "Jimmy... where is he?"
James paused. Three years ago, Isaac had asked Ben and him the same question.
Looking at Adele who was crying sadly and was about to have a nervous breakdown, James raised his eyebrows in a dilemma. Hearing the footsteps at the door, he came up with an idea, "Adele... sometimes you can never regret after you lose something. However, if you really have a chance to choose... I mean, if you have another chance and Isaac is still alive, will you be with him?"
Adele reacted a little slowly and then looked up at James.
"Well, if Issac comes back, will you be with him? Will you take Arvis and live a happy life with him?"
"I will. We have missed each other for so long, and I know that I have wronged him. If he really comes back, I won't let go of him no matter what."
Hearing this, James smiled, "He will absolutely be overjoyed if he hears this."
Adele smiled wryly, "Yeah, but he can't hear me."
James coughed lightly and smiled mischievously, "Is that so?"
At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open, "I heard it all."
Looking at the person sitting in the wheelchair, Adele was taken aback for a long time. She looked at him without blinking. In the end, she could only look at James who was snickering, "Jimmy..."
"Isaac is fine. He is right in front of you, isn't he? Just now, I wanted to tell you this news after he came back, but you didn't listen to me. You thought that he was dead."
Isaac came to the bedside and looked at Adele who was in a daze. He smiled gently, "Did you say those words seriously?"
