Twisted Ties of Love (Izabella Salotti and Brett) novel Chapter 61

Izabella glanced out the window. "What time is it now?"

"One o'clock."

Izabella's face changed a bit, and she frowned, whispering, “I should be all right now. I want to go back.”

"Go back where?" Presley's face immediately darkened. "You want to go back to Quiet Forest Estates?"

Izabella pursed her lips and didn't say anything, obviously agreeing with Presley's statement.

Presley was pissed and somewhat helpless with anxiety. "What the hell are you thinking? Brett already treated you like that, and you're going back? This time he just left you on the balcony; next time, he might hang you with a rope! How many lives do you have for him to toy with?!"

Presley was really mad. He couldn't understand why she liked torturing herself so much!

"Presley, I know you mean well."

Presley: "What do you know..."

Izabella interrupted him, "I'm already on my deathbed. It doesn't matter if I die a few days early, but I can't just abandon my brother."

Presley, being very smart, instantly understood that Brett was threatening her with Lucas.

"How could you worry about your brother like that? You think he's your brother, but he may not even acknowledge you as his sister. You can't even take care of yourself, let alone consider others. Think about your illness, think about the burden on you. You can’t keep going like this!"

Izabella didn't argue. She looked at Presley earnestly, her eyes gradually reddening. "But I don't want to have another life on my conscience."
