Chapter 30 We Are Just Friends
After Martha left, it became quiet in the ward again.
Isobel lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. And then her face was full of tears, but she didn’t
move. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
She didn’t fall asleep all night.
She fell asleep after 5:00 in the morning.
However, there was noise made by the trolley for food and nursing trolley of the nurses in the corridor,
so she was awakened.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a nurse come into her ward.
"Ms. Lewis."
She nodded and sat up by holding the bed, and then she stretched out her hand so that the nurse
could check her blood pressure.
Then the nurse left when Eduard came in.
Isobel saw that he had breakfast in his hands and smiled, "Why do you come to the hospital so early?"
"Because I think you will be hungry." She was really hungry. And then she got up and went into the
bathroom to freshen up.
When she came out, Eduard had already put breakfast on the table well.
"Thank you."
She took the spoon from his hand and then ate the porridge slowly.
It was quiet in the ward, because they didn’t say anything.
Isobel didn’t like staying in the hospital, so she insisted on leaving the hospital after breakfast.
Eduard didn’t say anything to stop her. He just handled the discharge procedures with her and then
drove her home.
As soon as she came back home, she received a phone call from Yasmin.
"What’s wrong, Yasmin?"
"Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Isobel went forward and then sat down on the sofa and said, "Yes. I have come back home now."
"Are you OK?"
"Yes."
It seemed that Yasmin wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to talk with her. However,
Isobel was not interested in it now. So she said, "I’m going to hang up. I didn’t have a good sleep in the
hospital last night."
"OK." Yasmin responded quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Isobel turned to look at the high-rises outside the window.
There were three pieces of news about Hamish breaking the engagement with Martha on the phone.
She glanced at the news and threw the phone on the sofa, and then she stood up and went upstairs to
her bedroom.
She slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was dark outside.
She felt a bit of a headache after sleeping for a whole day.
She sat up and kneaded her temples. After a while, she wanted to take her phone from the bedside
table, and then she recalled that the phone was thrown on the sofa downstairs by her.
She had to go downstairs. When she took her phone, she found that there were two unfamiliar calls on
the phone and many messages.
She glanced at the messages quickly, and then ordered a takeaway.
She was the only one in the house. It was so quiet that it made her feel sad, just like when she stayed
in the operation room, and there were only the sounds of those medical instruments.
During the operation process, neither the doctors nor the nurses said many words.
She lay on the bed, as if she was being slaughtered.
When the medical instrument was put into her uterus, the blood kept flowing out from her uterus. She
looked at the ceiling and hoped that someone could save her. However, no one could save her.
Isobel felt so hurt that she could not say anything when she thought about what had happened last
night.
She had to curl up her body and hug herself tightly. Only in this way did she feel better.
Because that hurt so much.
When the doorbell rang, she was shocked. It wasn't until she heard the deliveryman outside the door
calling her name that she realized that everything was just an illusion.
She wiped her face with her hands and then opened the door to take the takeaway.
After that day, she stayed at home for a week.
As soon as she got out of home, she was followed by entertainment reporters.
Now, everyone in City N said that Hamish broke the engagement with Martha because of her. Because
her miscarriage at Martha’s birthday party was widely known.
"Ms. Lewis, as we all know, Mr. Hamish has broken the engagement with Ms. Sutton. Is it because Ms.
Sutton caused your miscarriage?"
"Ms. Lewis. Will you be together with Mr. Hamish again since he has broken the engagement with Ms.
Sutton?"
Be together with him again?
Isobel thought that it was ridiculous. She smiled and looked at one camera and said, "Don’t think too
much. As for Mr. Hamish and me, we are just friends. To some extent, we are not friends at all. As for
my miscarriage..."
She stopped for a while and then continued, "It had nothing to do with anyone."
After talking, she lowered her head and said, "Please let me go."
The interview was broadcast live, so her words had been spread throughout City N.
Yasmin was doing live stream when she suddenly saw the link sent by her girlfriend on her phone. She
clicked it and she was shocked. She quickly turned off the live broadcast and pulled Freddie who was
sitting aside and said, "Look! This is Isobel!"
Freddie took a deep breath and kneaded his arms and said, "I see it."
At this time, they heard what Isobel said in the video.
They kept silent for a while.
They had to say that Isobel was really brave.
Because she said they were just friends...
If Hamish heard what she said, he would be very angry.
There were many people watching the video except Yasmin and Freddie. When Martha watched it, she
was mad and she even wanted to throw away her phone.
She thought about what Isobel had talked to her that night and Hamish contacted the media to
announce the dissolution of their engagement the next morning, and then she felt more and more
angry.
She was so angry that she kicked the sofa in front of her.
At this time, in the office of the General Manager of ZC Group.
Matteo looked at Hamish who was sitting in front of the desk. He felt that there was sweat on his back
though it was so cold.
Time passed by, he heard Hamish’s voice after a long time, "Matteo. Are you free now? Why do you
have time to pay attention to such gossip?"
Matteo felt scared when he heard his words. He apologized, "I am so sorry, Mr. Hamish. I will not do it
next time."
Hamish gave him a cold glance. He trembled and said, "I’ll be back to my work."
And then he left the office and closed the door for Hamish.
After Matteo went out of the office, Hamish looked at the black door of the office and sighed. When
there was anything related to Ms. Lewis, Mr. Hamish’s attitude seemed to have changed as he looked
so different.
Mr. Hamish asked Matteo to keep an eye on Ms. Lewis before, but when Matteo told him that she had
been interviewed by reporters, Mr. Hamish blamed him.
Matteo didn’t understand what he was thinking about.
After Matteo left, Hamish stayed in the office alone.
He looked at Isobel in the video played on the pad and said to himself coldly, "We are just friends?"
He sneered and then turned off the video, "Isobel, you really did a good job."
After losing their kid, she even told the media that they were just friends.
Why hadn’t he found before that she was really good at talking nonsense?
