Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 100

"How is my father, Mr. Yannick?" Isabella asked impatiently after they sat down.

Mr. Yannick smiled lightly. He looked at Diana and said: "I've already talked with Mr. Jones. Your father's ill is pretty serious. I'll do my best to help you apply for out-of-prison treatment."

Diana immediately thanked him, "Thank you so much... Mr. Yannick."

Isabella was still in a calm state. She then asked with a frown: "If it fails, do we have any other solutions?"

Her father was already aged, and had been psychological tortured during this period of time. With no one comforted him, he seldom ate or drank. That was why he suddenly fell ill with a stroke and hadn't woke up till now. The doctor said the situation was quite dangerous.

"Um..." He thought for a while, then looked at her and said gravely: "Your father is a felon and hasn't been in custody for long. It's hard for him get a special care. This will depend on his situation after he wakes up. If he couldn't take care of himself, they may release him on medical parole. 

Isabella remained silent for a moment.

She definitely hoped him be okay after he woke up.

Although he brought this upon himself, but he was still her father. She couldn't just see him suffer in there.

Mr. Yannick promised her that he would do his best to help her with it. After thanking him repeatedly, Isabella took Diana to the ward.

Having not seen him for more than a month, Tristan looked like a completely different person compared to the one she saw last time. He was extremely thin, with a lot more wrinkles and a head full of white hair.

As soon as Isabella saw him, her eyes immediately went wet. But she still suppressed her sadness and calmed down.

Diana was already crying quietly as she looked at him by the bed. 

Isabella couldn't bear it any longer and she turned her face away. Seeing the doctor coming in, she asked: "Doctor, how is my father?"

"Not so good. But we'll have to wait for him to wake up first." He said seriously.

"Will he completely recover after surgery?" Her voice was hoarse.

As long as he could still eat and drink like a normal person, she would raise him after he came out of jail. If he were to lie on the bed from now on, she wouldn't be willing  even if she could take care of him every day, she would not want to see that happen.

"Very possible, so don't worry." The doctor looked at her, and sighed.

"Really?" Isabella asked.

The doctor nodded, "However, we'll still need to see how the court would decide about it. You can get prepared first."

"Oh, okay. Thank you so much, doctor." Isabella's joyful voice trembled. She turned to look at her father on bed. with a glimmer of hope flaring up in her eyes. 

After the doctor left, Isabella stayed in the ward with Diana. The atmosphere was quite sombre. 

Diana was so tired that she fell asleep on the side of the bed. Isabella gently covered her with a coat, then went out to pick up a call.

"Isabella, where are you now? I just got back from a business trip. I heard the thing about your father. I'll be there now."

It was Luke, who sounded quite worried.

Isabella leaned against the wall. Her fair face had a heavy expression. After being silent for two seconds, she said in a calm and soft voice, "I'm already at the hospital with my mom. My father hasn't woken up yet. You've just returned, and you must be very tired. It’s unnecessary to come over."

Luke said in a low voice: "I'm not tired, and your dad is sick, so there must be some legal procedures to go through. I can help you with that. You're pregnant as well, so you can't tire yourself out."

"Luke, it's really okay. I have already let the lawyer to deal with it. Now all I can do is to wait for my father to wake up. Even if you come over, you could just wait with me. I think you'd better rest at home and take care of Rachel. Maybe I'll have to trouble you in the future."
