Clayton narrowed his eyes and nodded. “You’re beautiful”

Isabella jumped on the spot and turned her back. “Shall we get going?”

Clayton strode over and caught up with her, placing her hand over his arm.

Isabella nodded. looking gloomy. “Yeah I was ill for more than a year.

Chyton exerted more strength unwittingly. “What kind of illness? How did you end up with a?”

Isabella shook her head, and Clayton took his hand off

“My mom passed, and I was heartbroken, but my dad re–married. I vied with Yvonne for a toy back then and fell down the stairs and hit my head. I broke my legs, too, and spent more than a year recuperating Isabella lowered her voice.

He feared that ber fall might not have been an accident.

It was that year that he lost contact with her. It turned out that she had been ill, yet be suspected that somebody had a hand in it.

He could only imagine what Isabella had gone through those lonely days.

His phone suddenly chimed.
