After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan) novel Chapter 1024
"Ethan, just let me go. Forget about me and that dream too. We both deserve to really live, to stay grounded in reality and face what’s in front of us. That’s the only way all of this means anything."
Isabella’s voice was soft, almost gentle. "Honestly, I treasure my life now. I want to hold onto it for as long as I can. The idea of dying scares me to death."
She had every reason to want to live a long life. Her career was thriving, her bank account looked good, she had her own place, and her boyfriend was the kind of good-looking everyone noticed. It would be a waste not to enjoy all of that for as many years as she could get.
"Just focus on getting better. Once you’re back in Cabinda and healed up, Harold and I will take you out to dinner."
With that, Isabella stood and started to leave.
"Isabella," Ethan called after her.
She paused, glancing back.
He spoke quietly. "Don’t you want to know what happened next in the dream?"
She shook her head. "It doesn’t matter anymore, does it? I’m alive, I’m okay, and that was only a dream. I don’t need to keep holding onto something that’s already gone."
"Take care of yourself. I hope you get well soon," she added with a quick smile. She gave him a small wave and walked out, not even looking back as she left the hospital room.
The moment she was gone, Ethan felt tears slipping down his face again.
They really were over. There was no going back. What was lost was lost.
He still remembered the dread he’d felt the day he let her go, agreeing to the divorce. He’d been terrified that if he loosened his grip, he’d never get a chance to hold onto her again. Now that fear had become real—she was gone, truly gone, and not even curious about the dream anymore.
She was right. It was just a dream. They’re both living in the real world now, and she had no reason to dwell on something that didn't matter.

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
