Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 453

At that time, if they googled "Izabella", they couldn’t find any info about Ms. Izabella of R City. The first search result was of a celebrity.

Lucas knew that his sister was gone, but every time he heard the name "Izabella", he couldn’t help but feel a pang of pain that left him in a daze.

The year Izabella died, he didn't dare to visit her grave, because he forgot their mother's last wish, and kept bullying Izabella non-stop, leading to her early departure from the world.

When Izabella left, the Salotti family was only left with him, with no relatives around.

Usually, it was only after losing something that people realized its worth. He had more than once thought of how good Izabella was in the past.

When she was learning to walk, her first word was ‘brother’, but he was always angry at her, treated her coldly, even blamed her for their mother's death, and never hugged her when she grew up as he was always pissed at her.

After Izabella inherited the Salotti family, he became increasingly dissatisfied with his sister. He called her ungrateful and cursed her with the cruelest words, hoping that she would fall ill and die.

Later, Izabella really got sick, and didn't tell anyone to keep it a secret. He didn't even know how she went to the hospital and got the gastric cancer diagnosis. He didn't even know when she miscarried, or when she was driven mad by Brett's depression.

What he didn't know even more was that, even though Izabella was deeply hurt by Brett, she still chose to stay by Brett's side, all because of him.

Because Brett threatened Izabella by saying that he would hurt her brother.

It was rather ironic that he only found out about all that from Presley Felton after Izabella's death. Why would Izabella choose to protect him in that way, given how he treated her, and how incapable he was as a brother?

Each time he recalled the past, Lucas couldn’t help but shed tears. In five days, it would be Izabella's memorial day.

Time went like a speeding bullet; she had been gone for four years already.

"Mom, I forgot our agreement, I didn't protect her, it's me who harmed her. If she were still here, she definitely wouldn't forgive me, right? Would the one who comes to see you be my sister?"

Some people can apologize, make up, and forget when they did something wrong, while others can only kneel in front of the tombstone and repent, tormented by guilt every day.

Every time Lucas came to the cemetery, he knelt for a long time, repenting for the mistakes he made in the past.

"I abandoned her once. She asked me to save her, but I didn't turn around," If he had turned around that time at the casino, fulfilled his responsibility as a brother, took Izabella away, confronted Brett, protected her, then Izabella wouldn't have died without returning home.

Izabella was used to life in R City. How could she adapt to the hot summer and cold winter in J City? Her ashes were scattered in the sea. She was so afraid of the cold when she was alive, why would she think about what would happen after her death?

Many things about Izabella were told to him by Presley.

Since Izabella married Brett, her life had always been very hard. The day her father was convicted, she was not out playing with other men, but was locked in the bedroom by Brett. She was forbidden to use the internet, and her phone was confiscated. She was locked in the bedroom for four full days, and her stomach pain was so severe that she could only fill her stomach with painkillers.

Presley said that Izabella knelt in the heavy rain outside the courthouse for half an hour that day. When she was sent to the hospital, she was all bloody. He washed her stomach out, and it was all bloody pulp. Lucas knew nothing about all of that.

When Izabella was given a critical condition notice, and her heartbeat stopped, Lucas was still outside drinking, and hoping she would die soon.

Lucas knelt on the ground, head down. He believed that it was his curse that killed her.

Lucas looked at his prosthetic right hand, sobbing to himself, "Deserves to be broken, this is the punishment for abandoning her," He then looked up at the two tombstones in front of him, at the photos of his parents on the tombstones.

"Dad, Mom, I really know I was wrong."

On the morning of the 23rd, Izabella and Casey went to Wye. Before boarding the plane, she was wearing a down jacket, but took it off as soon as they landed.
