After returning from the hospital, Elizabeth took a bath and lay on the bed. She couldn't fall asleep because there was something on her mind.
James patted her on the back, "Go to sleep."
"Mm." Elizabeth replied. Her eyes were closed, but Isaac's determined face flashed through her mind. She sighed and simply sat up, "James."
"Yeah."
"Doctor Bai..." She pursed her lips, "What did he mean by saying that?"
James smiled weakly but said nothing. He was also in a heavy mood.
He still remembered how shocked he was when he heard Isaac's words. He wanted to say something, but Benjamin pulled him and shook his head at him.
He had been friends with Isaac for so many years. They could share everything except for wives. Isaac was so young, but he had made up his mind to die. As his good friend, James didn't want him to be so depressed. However, he understood him so well.
Isaac had lost all his hopes. Perhaps his thought might be a little selfish, because his mother and Adele's mother still needed him.
However, he didn't even want to live. How could he care about whether he was selfish or not?
They had been friends for many years and James really understood him! Isaac wanted to do something in three years, and it must be something big. Once he had done all that he wanted to do, and settled his mother and Adele's mother, he would have nothing to worry about. According to James's understanding of Isaac, since Maxwell treated Adele so ruthlessly, Isaac would definitely fight back. Even though he was gentle and polite at ordinary times, he was cruel in actuality.
Seeing that James did not speak for a long time, Elizabeth's heart sank, "I know that Doctor Bai is completely heartbroken, but... he is so excellent, and he has a deep relationship with you... However, this proves that he really loves Adele very much."
"Yes."
Although Isaac loved Adele, he had to part with her. However, even if Adele had died, he wanted to follow her. His love for Adele was so deep and touching.
"Can't you persuade him to give up such an idea?" Elizabeth frowned and said, "I mean, no matter what, Adele has died... Although Doctor Bai wants to do like that, he can't make her back to life."
"You have seen what he looks like." James sighed, "Unless Adele could come back, otherwise..." He said with a self- deprecating smile, "but, is it possible?"
Elizabeth also sighed, but she suddenly said, "Hey! James..."
"What?"
"Do you think there's any possibility that Adele is still alive?" As she said this, she was a little excited, "So many people looked for her for a long time. At least we should find her body. But we didn't... Do you think there's a possibility that she didn't die?"
She had thought like this a few days ago.
When James gave up looking for Adele that day, she felt sad and had to accept the fact that Adele had died.
But when she saw that Isaac's character had changed dramatically and heard what he said that day, she really hoped that Adele could come back safely one day.
James smiled faintly and said, "Dear, I understand what you're thinking, but it's impossible. Do you know why Ben searched for so long after the police had looked for her for a long time? We had the same thought as you. We didn't only search for a small place. The upper reaches and lower reaches of the river was out of A City, but we didn't find her in those places. We even asked all the people who lived beside the river, but no one had seen Adele... It has been raining heavily recently and the water in the river is rising..."
Elizabeth did not speak again, and she understood what James meant. The water had risen, and the current was turbulent. Adele might have been moved to somewhere else by the current..."
"Why did she jump down? Couldn't she have a talk with Issac?"
"That's right."
