Female Novel
Chapter 875
At the sight of Old Mr. Bailey’s threat, one of the nurses called for security, while Isabelle wiped hertears and stepped outside. Then, she was greeted by rows of seats that were full of people sitting onthem. At the same time, she also noticed their worried faces, even though they tried hard to cling totheir rational mind and waited for the doctor.
It was only Old Mr. Bailey who kept making a scene and got in the way of the doctors. Nonetheless,Isabelle couldn’t care less about that. She walked to a corner and hugged herself while leaning againstthe wall. At that moment, she could hear buzzing in her head, feeling her temple twitching wildly.
Not long after that, the security guards arrived and subdued Old Mr. Bailey, manhandling him as theypassed by Isabelle, but she didn’t even bother to look at her father. At the same time, there wererescued patients who were escorted out of the emergency department. Some of them were transferredto the Intensive Care Unit, while the others were taken to the general ward.
All of them made it. At the sight of that, Isabelle pursed her lips and clung to a glimmer of hope deepdown. After a while, the doctors came out, and one of them, who was involved in rescuing Dexter,turned out to be someone Isabelle knew. Therefore, she quickly approached the doctor, who stared ather and apologized with a faint voice. Upon hearing that, Isabelle blinked in response. “Oh, is he goingto the ICU? No worries, I’ll make the payment right away.”
The doctor let out a sigh and said, “I’m sorry. We couldn’t save him. Nonetheless, he didn’t die from theinjury he sustained from the traffic accident. Instead, it was something he consumed earlier that killedhim—we believe it was pesticide. Anyway, we’ll need to wait for the test result for further confirmationabout that.”
Isabelle was taken aback by the doctor’s answer. “Pesticide?!”
The doctor then asked her a question, “Did the victim suffer from any kind of mental illness, such asdepression?” Upon pausing for a moment, the doctor added, “He came around halfway through ourrescue and told us that he didn’t want to live anymore.” novelbin
Isabelle paused in a trance. “D-Depression…?” She shook her head in denial. “N-No. This can’t be. Hewas healthy. Why would he not want to live? Why would he want to die?” As soon as she finished herwords, she broke down in tears.
It was at that moment that Isabelle began to recall the signs, which might have indicated that Dexterwas calling for help. Unfortunately, no one knew he was broken on the inside. No wonder Dexter wasalways complaining about how tired and unhappy he was because no one really cared about him. Hislife was all about cram school because of the expectation he needed to live up to in order to stand out.He said he wanted to rest, but everyone dismissed that as a complaint and paid no attention to it.Overwhelmed by her guilt, Isabelle burst into tears.
Meanwhile, the doctor told Isabelle that Dexter’s body would be taken to the morgue and promised tokeep her posted on the autopsy result as soon as the testing was done. After that, the doctor excusedhimself as he still had a lot of work to attend to.
Upon hearing the doctor’s words, Isabelle leaned against the wall and slowly crouched on the floor. Inthe meantime, Old Mr. Bailey, who was forced out of the hospital, stood outside in the chilly breeze ashe came to his senses a bit. He then shoved off the guards and said, “Take your hands off me! I’ll justwait here.”
While the place was crowded with people, the security guards gave in and let go of the man in order toavoid further conflict. However, they continued to stand there and watched Old Mr. Bailey because they
were afraid that the man would lose his temper and make a scene again. Shortly after that, Isabellecame out with a gloomy look on her face.
In that instant, Old Mr. Bailey quickly walked up to her and asked, “How is your brother?”
With half her face swollen, Isabelle could feel slight numbness in her gum. She then stared at Old Mr.Bailey and proceeded to tell him the bad news. “The doctor said Dexter might have committed suicideby drinking pesticide before the accident.”
“Nonsense!” Old Mr. Bailey snarled in rage, “Why would he commit suicide? He is going to own thewhole company sooner or later. So, why would he ever want to die?” After saying that, his eyes thatwere staring at Isabelle changed.
