With Victor's help, Isabella sent her mother back to the hospital.
The doctor said Serena Valente had fainted due to extreme emotional fluctuation, low blood pressure, and low blood sugar. It wasn't a serious condition. With a nutrient drip and rest, she would wake up soon.
Only then did Isabella finally release the breath she had been holding.
But her heart still felt heavy, as if it had been stuffed with stones.
Even though she was relieved, she couldn't calm down.
After settling her mother in the ward, she walked out into the hallway.
The hospital smelled of disinfectant.
The lights were white and cold.
Her footsteps echoed on the floor, making her feel even lonelier.
She went down to the parking lot.
Victor was still in the car.
From afar, she could see him leaning slightly forward, holding his phone to his ear. His voice was deep and low, speaking in a foreign language she couldn't understand.
He spoke very little.
