CHAPTER 31: John's plan

　　John left her sister and went back to the room he had left Isabelle. As he entered the room, John was met with a sight that broke his heart. She saw Isabelle sitting on the bed with her face etched with sorrow and worry. Her eyes were red and puffy from crying and her shoulders shook with each sob. She looked up at John with her eyes filled with a deep sadness.

　　"John, does your sister want us to break up again?" she asked, her voice trembling with emotion. "I don't know if I can go through that again, John. I don't know if I can bear the thought of losing you again." She sobs.

　　John rushed to her side, sitting down beside her and taking her hand in his.

　　"No, Isabelle, my sister doesn't want us to break up. I'll handle everything, I promise. You have nothing to worry about," he said, trying to reassure her.

　　As John spoke with her, Isabelle was beyond consolation. She was consumed by fear and doubt and her mind racing with thoughts of Rachel's conspiracy against them.
