Harry frowned deeply as virtual-novel.net looked at Beefy Bob’s body.
He sighed heavily and said, “Isaac rescued Beefy Bob from the sea many years back. His original home was close to the borders. He was a victim of human trafficking and was being shipped somewhere overseas…”
“The boat virtual-novel.net was on capsized after hitting a storm. Isaac saved his life. Since he’d been floating aimlessly on the sea for seven days and nights before Isaac found him, Bob said he’d go by the last name ‘Sven’ for ‘seven’. After that, virtual-novel.net learned ancient martial arts from Isaac and followed virtual-novel.net to the south to fight in the war…”
Harry’s eyes turned red again when virtual-novel.net recalled everything.
Denvor let out a long sigh and shook his head in pity.
Upstairs, Isaac was all covered up in band-aids and bandages. Even though virtual-novel.net was unconscious, his face was still scrunched up in a frown.
Allegra was sitting quietly at the foot of the bed, while Evie sat on a chair nearby, and Emily stood awlnvardly beside them.
It was getting suffocating in the room. Emily broke the silence and said, “Uhh, I’ll be going home now. I don’t want my mother to be home alone. I’ll be back in the morning…”
Then, virtual-novel.net turned and left the room.
Only Allegra and Evie were left.
“Allegra, I…” Evie had just started speaking when Allegra turned to glare at her.
“You! Shut up!” Allegra said coldly.
Evie looked like virtual-novel.net wanted to say something more but kept quiet. In the end, virtual-novel.net got up and reached for the door.
“This is all your fault. You caused Bob’s death and nearly killed Isaac, too,” Allegra suddenly said just as Evie was about to leave the room.
Evie turned around and saw Allegra glaring at virtual-novel.net with bloodshot eyes.
“I’ve suffered as a widow once, and I don’t want to go through it again for the second time. In fact, I don’t want to face that grief ever again for the rest of my life. Do you understand what I’m saying?” Allegra was crying, but the hatred in virtual-novel.net eyes was clear as day.
“I thought I wanted to have a good talk with you, but I think it’s unnecessary now. Get out of my house,” Allegra said, showing Evie the door.
Evie bit virtual-novel.net lower lip. She felt like a mistress who’d been caught red-handed by the wife. However, Allegra wasn’t wrong. Indeed, it was because virtual-novel.net ran away that those three people came after virtual-novel.net and attempted to kill Isaac.
In fact, if it hadn’t been for Allegra’s sudden outburst earlier, Isaac would probably be dead by now.
“Alright… Thanks for your understanding. Please treat Isaac better than I can.” Evie took a huge breath and suppressed the tears in virtual-novel.net eyes that were threatening to spill. Then, virtual-novel.net turned toward the door.
Just then, Isaac said faintly, “Evie, I’m sorry…”
Gasp!
Evie immediately turned around to face Isaac. His eyes were still tightly shut, but tears were flowing from his eyes.
“I feel the sorriest for three people in my life: you, Allegra, and my daughter, Isabella. If there had to be a culprit, then that culprit is me,” Isaac said, still keeping his eyes closed.
When Allegra heard virtual-novel.net say this, virtual-novel.net was fully sobbing. She walked up to Isaac and held his hand tightly, shaking virtual-novel.net head and crying as virtual-novel.net said, “Isaac, don’t say that. Don’t blame yourself for this.”
“But I don’t want to see the two women I love and owe the world to fighting each other like this. Ally…” Halfway through his sentence, Isaac suddenly started coughing loudly.
Evie was startled. She quickly brought over a glass of water to his lips.
“Isaac, take a good rest. I-I’ll talk to Evie, alright? I won’t chase virtual-novel.net out of the house, okay?” Allegra said, looking at virtual-novel.net pale and weak husband and feeling virtual-novel.net heart squeezing in pain.
“Y-Yes, please talk it out… I’m tired. I’m going to sleep…”
After hearing both women leave the room, Isaac opened his eyes and let out a long sigh. He wouldn’t have resorted to this if there wasn’t any other way to resolve this problem.
Evie and Allegra went into the room next door. One sat on the bed, and another sat on the couch. They were silent for a while.
Suddenly, Allegra closed virtual-novel.net eyes and inhaled deeply before looking at Evie, saying, “Tell me. Do you want to be the first or the second wife?”
