After Martha left, it became quiet in the ward again.
Isobel lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. And then her face was full of tears, but she didn’t move.
She didn’t fall asleep all night.
She fell asleep after 5:00 in the morning.
However, there was noise made by the trolley for food and nursing trolley of the nurses in the corridor, so she was awakened.
When she opened her eyes, she saw a nurse come into her ward.
"Ms. Lewis."
She nodded and sat up by holding the bed, and then she stretched out her hand so that the nurse could check her blood pressure.
Then the nurse left when Eduard came in.
Isobel saw that he had breakfast in his hands and smiled, "Why do you come to the hospital so early?"
"Because I think you will be hungry." She was really hungry. And then she got up and went into the bathroom to freshen up.
When she came out, Eduard had already put breakfast on the table well.
"Thank you."
She took the spoon from his hand and then ate the porridge slowly.
It was quiet in the ward, because they didn’t say anything.
Isobel didn’t like staying in the hospital, so she insisted on leaving the hospital after breakfast.
Eduard didn’t say anything to stop her. He just handled the discharge procedures with her and then drove her home.
As soon as she came back home, she received a phone call from Yasmin.
"What’s wrong, Yasmin?"
"Have you been discharged from the hospital?"
Isobel went forward and then sat down on the sofa and said, "Yes. I have come back home now."
"Are you OK?"
"Yes."
It seemed that Yasmin wanted to say something, but she didn’t know how to talk with her. However, Isobel was not interested in it now. So she said, "I’m going to hang up. I didn’t have a good sleep in the hospital last night."
"OK." Yasmin responded quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Isobel turned to look at the high-rises outside the window.
There were three pieces of news about Hamish breaking the engagement with Martha on the phone.
She glanced at the news and threw the phone on the sofa, and then she stood up and went upstairs to her bedroom.
She slept for a long time. When she woke up, it was dark outside.
She felt a bit of a headache after sleeping for a whole day.
She sat up and kneaded her temples. After a while, she wanted to take her phone from the bedside table, and then she recalled that the phone was thrown on the sofa downstairs by her.
She had to go downstairs. When she took her phone, she found that there were two unfamiliar calls on the phone and many messages.
She glanced at the messages quickly, and then ordered a takeaway.
She was the only one in the house. It was so quiet that it made her feel sad, just like when she stayed in the operation room, and there were only the sounds of those medical instruments.
During the operation process, neither the doctors nor the nurses said many words.
She lay on the bed, as if she was being slaughtered.
When the medical instrument was put into her uterus, the blood kept flowing out from her uterus. She looked at the ceiling and hoped that someone could save her. However, no one could save her.
Isobel felt so hurt that she could not say anything when she thought about what had happened last night.
