106 We Are Not Meant To Be


    Isabe paused and did not speak.


    “I know you feel ufortable at home. John is impudent because your father spoiled him.”


    Lukas finished the soup, “I heard that he owed arge sum of gambling debts. Perhaps he offended some gannd people. I think it’s good to teach him a lesson. As for you ... I would suggest that, if they don’t specifically send you a notice, you don’t need to visit him in the hospital.”


    Isabe nodded, “Okay.”


    Then she stood up and took the thermos, “Give it to me. I’ll wash itter.”


    “Thank you.”


    Lukas nodded and handed the thermos to Isabe. He suddenly took Isabe’s hand.


    The thermos fell to the ground. Isabe was shocked.


    “I will always be your brother even I’m going to marry your sister.”


    .....


    Lukas touched Isabe’s head and said gently, “If you have any difficulties that you cannot handle, tell me. I will always be by your side. Do you understand?”


    Isabe nodded while tried hard to hold her tears.


    Lukas leaned over and gave the thermos to her. As he was approaching, Isabe immediately said, “I’ve got to go.” She grabbed the thermos from him and ran out...


    Lukas looked at the closed door and his hand. He said regretfully, “Why weren’t you took care of me then? Why didn’t I see you first after I regained my consciousness? Isabe, we are not meant to be, aren’t we?”


    Lukas signed.


    Apart from Lukas’s ss, Isabe was muddled all day long.


    In the evening, what she had most worried about had finally urred.


    She received a call from the Smiths and asked her to visit John at the municipal hospital.


    Isabe told William that she would be homete. Then, she bought a bunch of bananas and went to the hospital anxiously.


    The ward where John stayed was a VIP room booked by Carl. It was luxurious and looked like a hotel suite.


    As soon as entering the outer room, Isabe heard something falling to the ground.


    “It is too hot! Are you going to kill me?” John roared, “This soup is tasteless. Add some salt!”


    Rosa cried humbly, “The doctor said that you can’t have too much salt now. Otherwise, your wound...”


    “I don’t care!”


    Then, bowls and chopsticks were swept to the ground, “If you don’t add salt, I will die right in front of you!”


    Carl said at once, “Okay. Okay. Rosa, do as John asked!”


    Isabe took a deep breath, knocked on the door, and opened the door.


    It immediately quieted down. Rosy was there too.


    “John, I bought you some bananas.”


    Isabe walked to the bedside table and put down bananas on it. She said calmly to cover her nervousness, “Would you like to have one now?”


    Carl said unhappily, “Haven’t you noticed that John is injured? Just give him a banana!”


    “Okay.” Isabe immediately peeled one and handed it to John.


    John looked at her and his breathing suddenly quickened. He knocked the banana from her hand and shouted, “Isabe! It’s none of your business! Fuck off!”


    Rosa stepped forward and hugged John, bursting into tears, “John, it’s Isabe. John, calm down.”


    “What the hell am I supposed to be calm down!”


    John straightened his body. Because his legs were tied up with sticks and bandages, he smashed everything in front of him with his hand, which was not broken. Later, he tapped on his bed to vent his anger.


    “Isabe! Get out! Rosy, call the doctor!”


    Carl hurriedly said and went forward tofort John, “John, be good. When you are healed, I will buy you a lot of good stuff!”


    A doctor and a nurse ran into the ward after heard the news. Isabe walked out and sighed gently.


    She was lucky that John did not dare to give her up. Otherwise, Carl would be very angry and would have beaten her to death.


    The Smiths was a demon cave.


    “Isabe, are you leaving just like that?”


    When Isabe was about to walk out, Carl’s cold voice came from behind her, “You and John are siblings. His legs are broken. Do you juste here to take a look?!”


    Carl said that they were siblings. But he never mentioned it when he beat Isabe up and pampered John.


    Isabe turned around and said, “John doesn’t like to see me. I’m afraid he’ll be upset, so...”


    “Stop it. You are crying crocodile tears.”


    Carl said disdainfully, “I’ve never expected you to help.”


    Isabe pinched her palm but did not dare to retort.


    Carl said, “There’s another thing I need to tell you. There’s a business gathering tomorrow night. You’ll go with me.”


    “A business gathering?”


    Isabe was shocked. She suddenly remembered thest carnival party. She was so scared.


    “It’s arge-scale gathering hosted by a high-rank official. All important and powerful people in Peace City will present. Dress up and go with me. You will meet many important people.”


    Meeting important people?


    Isabe knew why he took her there.


    She could do nothing but obey.


    Isabell lowered her head and said obediently, “Okay.”


    “It is at 8 p.m. tomorrow. Go home early and dress up.”


    “Okay.”


    Carl wanted to close this conversation, “You may go now. Since John doesn’t want to see you, don’te to bother him recently.”


    “Okay.”


    That was what she expected.


    Isabe walked out of the hospital. Streetmps had lit up.


    The air in the night was cool.


    She was familiar with everything here. In the half a year that she had been taking care of Lukas, she had seen this every night.


    Unfortunately...


    She should have stayed with him the day he regained his consciousness. But she was lying in bed because she was badly beaten up by Carl.


    She missed out on her destine due to her absence.


    Isabe remembered it heavily rained that day. When she heard that Lukas had regained his consciousness, she rushed to the hospital, regardless of bad weather and the possibility of her bruises getting infected after being drenched in the rain.


    However, when arriving at the hospital, she saw Lukas hugging Rosy and kissing her. He sobbed, “Rosy, I love you. I finally know what I want after having been out a long time. I will definitely make you the happiest woman in the world!”


    Isabe left the ward. She leaned against the wall and sat on the ground. She felt as if her entire body was hollowed out.


    At that moment, she felt that God was too cruel to her.


    She had done so much and had taken care of Lukas for so long. In the end, she did not get his love.


    When regaining his consciousness, Lukas announced to the world that he loved her sister.


    He finally knew what he wanted...


    She was not the one he wanted.


    Isabe felt that she had no courage to live. She had no family and no love...


    Her heart hurt...


    Isabe sighed and walked into the night.
