Isabelle’s hair was cut short, giving her a fresh and neat image. Her entire self looked completely different from
before.
When Sophia saw Isabelle, she was vaguely reminded of the Bailey Family. Perhaps it was because life was going
well for her that she hadn’t kept those who tried to harm her in her mind for the longest time.
Isabelle came over with a gift and stood at the door. When she saw Sophia, she smiled. “Wow, you haven’t changed
at all.”
Sophia stared at Isabelle for a long time before recognizing her. Then she replied with a grin, “You have changed a
lot though.”
John was not in the ward, as he had gone to the nurse’s station. Matilda had taken the baby out to show off to other
people as well, so she wasn’t in the ward either.
Placing her things down, Isabelle came over and looked at Sophia. “Your complexion is pretty good. I heard people

Sophia leaned on the bed. “That’s great then. I don’t have to lose weight after having the baby.”
The way they talked was as if they had forgotten all the previous discord.
Sophia changed the subject and asked Isabelle, “How are you? Have you gotten used to things over there?”
Hearing the questions, Isabelle nodded. “In the beginning, it was a little unnerving. After all, I was too unfamiliar
with how things are like over there. We had to start everything from scratch. But after staying for a while, I think
that it’s pretty good. My mother is by my side again. We two actually spend better days there than here.”
Then, she added, “When my mother left, her grief eased too. Now she is happily going out shopping every day and
chatting with the elderly people downstairs.
I think she is getting better and better. We made the right choice to leave this place.” After she finished speaking,
Matilda walked past the door while holding the baby. She wasn’t intending on entering the ward, but suddenly, she
saw Isabelle, so she was startled. She slowly came over with the baby. “Belle?” Isabelle twitched her lips. “Matilda,
long time no see.” Matilda was quite surprised at the sight of her and looked her up and down. “Oh, you look like a
different person altogether. I couldn’t recognize you for the longest time.” Isabelle fiddled with her short hair. “I cut
my hair when I left here. I think it’s refreshing to change my style. It changes my mood too.” As a sign of
agreement, Matilda nodded. “That’s true. You look much better than before.” Isabelle’s gaze fell on Matilda’s arms.
The little baby was awake, and she hurried over to take a look at him. She writhed her lips. “He looks like John.”
Nobody knew if it was simply a compliment or if she really saw John in the baby. But Matilda was happy upon
hearing that. “I think so too. It is better for a boy to look like John. When a girl is born next, she will look like a little
Sophia.” Isabelle nodded.
“Yes, Sophia is pretty. It’s better for their daughter to resemble her.” At this point in life, she had completely let go

came back, holding a pile of bills in his hands. Seeing Isabelle there, he was also a little startled. Isabelle greeted
him first. “Look, I’m here to surprise all of you.” John put the bills away and then asked, “Did you come to see your
father and the others?” Sophia turned to look at Isabelle. Regarding the Bailey Family’s trial, she never asked John
what the result was. But when she thought about it, the exposure was so high, and the impact was so large at that
time that it should be severely judged. Pursing her lips, Isabelle explained, “I also came to see them. I heard that
my grandfather is not in good health and wants to see me.” John went over and touched the baby’s face. “How is
your mother’s health? Is she alright?” “She’s in the pink of health. I’m certain she’ll live comfortably over there.”
Isabelle smiled immediately. “She was telling me two days ago about divorcing my dad and finding another
companion. She said it with a smile, so I’m not sure if she was joking or serious.” Sophia noticed that when Isabelle
talked about these things, she looked unruffled and seemingly not minding about any of it. John also smiled. “If both
of them can think it through and let go, it’s better to get a divorce. After all, they don’t live together anymore. Both
of them have their future ahead of them, so they shouldn’t remain together and drag each other down like this.”
