The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 886

The family doctor remained at the residence to monitor everyone’s condition. Elder Mr. Bailey was in a bad state, but Old Mr. Bailey was doing even worse. The doctor handed the aspirin to Isabelle and reminded her, “If you’re not in extreme pain, you should stay away from it. Pills are not good for your liver and kidneys.”

She flashed a wry smile at him. “I have no choice now. There are too many matters waiting for me to deal with.”

Next, she took the aspirin, but before the effect kicked in, Mrs. Bailey found her way over, crying and claiming that she heard Dexter. She even invited Isabelle to go with her and look for Dexter.

It had been a full day of wailing and hallucinating for Mrs. Bailey.

To be honest, Isabelle was quite surprised at her mom’s great stamina, which was a rare sight. She reached out to hug Mrs. Bailey and comforted her in a low voice, “Mom, please stop acting this way. If Dexter sees you like this, he won’t leave in peace.”

Mrs. Bailey covered her face, her voice hoarse from the crying. “If he’s worried about us, why did he choose to leave in the first place?” Isabelle did not know how to answer her mom. At this point, any word from her would only evoke more sadness.

Mrs. Bailey slumped onto the floor. “Everything in this house belongs to him. We’ve prepared everything for him. How could he leave us without warning?”

Standing in front of Mrs. Bailey, Isabelle lowered her head and stared on as tears rolled down her cheeks. Now, both her head and her eyes were in pain. She reached out to lift her mom up, but upon consideration, she retracted her arms. “Go ahead and let it all out. If crying makes you feel better, you should release all your emotions.”

Dexter had no channel to release his frustration, which led him to take his own life. Tired of comforting her family, Isabelle stopped doing so and went over to the window.

They’re not wrong. What’s the point of earning money? If only they had not pressured Dexter, if only someone told him to live his life as he wished, he would have still been safe and sound.
