Chapter 474: Chapter 490: You Promised I Still Have You (32)

Yi did not notice the strange atmosphere at the moment, and just when the mobile phone was answered, he quickly stuffed it into Percy Stanton’s hand, urging him with his mouth to say, "Hurry up!"

Percy swallowed, his fingers stiff, as he raised the phone to his ear. Then Isabel Smith’s voice rang out again: "Hello?"

After a pause, Percy finally spoke, uttering a single "Yeah" into the phone.

Though it was just one word, it instantly brought the slightly unwell and early-to-bed Isabel back to full wakefulness. She glanced at the caller ID on her phone and realized she hadn’t misheard the voice. Stunned for a moment, she finally asked the silent Percy on the other end, "Is there... something you need?"

"Nothing." Percy wanted to add that he was playing a game with a friend, and accidentally called her, but thinking better of it, he remained silent.

After a while, Isabel responded with an "Oh," and then raised her hand to cover her mouth, letting out a soft cough.

Through the phone, Percy heard her clearly, and involuntarily asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

After asking, Percy cursed himself internally for being weak, and then heard Isabel say, "No."

"Mmm." Percy made a sound of acknowledgment, and now somewhat at a loss for words, he thought for a moment. They had already exchanged three sentences, so he spoke into the phone, "Well... goodnight."

"Goodnight."

Percy didn’t say anything else, and as he hung up the phone, he faintly heard Isabel’s soft coughing sound through the mobile phone.

...

After that, Percy had no mood to play cards. He held his phone, turning it over and over in his palm for a while, then composed a text message for Isabel: If you’re not feeling well, go see a doctor.

As soon as he finished writing, Percy hesitated, and in the end, he deleted the message one character at a time. Then, he stood up and went straight back to his bedroom at his own villa by the seashore, lying down on the bed.

Through the window, he could still hear the shouts of people continuing to play cards outside, mixed with waves crashing against the shore, and the pounding of his heart.

He picked up his phone from the side and flipped through it casually, coming across a photo album. It was full of pictures he had secretly taken of Isabel after they had lost their child, on their trip to a temple in the Bellshire suburbs.

There were pictures of her back, her face head-on, and her profile. Percy scrolled to the very last photo, where he had captured her standing in a red plum forest. At that moment, she had turned her head and looked back at him.

In the photo, Isabel’s eyes were clear and bright, her face delicate and lovely.

Percy couldn’t help but stare.

After a long time, he realized that the emotions he thought he had forgotten in his heart during the past few days began to grow rapidly, like wild grass in the spring breeze.

Some feelings can’t be quit. It seemed that each time he and Isabel reached their happiest moments, a twist of fate would undo it all.

In the words of the elderly, this was called a so-called "karmic relationship."

Karmic relationships are when two people suffer and entangle with each other, only to reach an unhappy ending, implying that they should let go of each other sooner rather than later.

But some people can’t just let go as easily.

Six years ago, she didn’t come, and he was unmoved, so they missed out on six years together.

Six years later, she expressed regret, and he returned to Ravenwood City, only to lose a child.

Now, she was getting married. Could he just let go?

There’s a saying - instead of letting her go for her happiness, go to her side and fight for her happiness.

After all, he wasn’t with Isabel now, and he wasn’t having a good time either. The worst-case scenario would be that he still wouldn’t end up with her, so why not fight for it?
