From Hatred to Passionate Love Amelia Hart

Chapter 626 The More I Suffer, the More Sympathetic Isabella Becomes "No matter how good the act is, there are always slip-ups. This is our last shot. If I mess up and Isabella finds out, it's gover!" Kelvin shook his head. "No way." First off, it was too risky.

Second, he figured Penelope wouldn't be on board either! He couldn't just cut a side deal with Brandon! "You've got the antidote." Brandon pointed out. "If we give it a shot, there's still a chance. If Isabella doesn't care if I live or die, you can givethe antidote then." Trying to lighten the mood, Brandon grinned and teased, "You don't even have the antidote, do you?" Of course, Kelvin had it.

But taking poison? That's no joke! "I'll think about it," Kelvin said. "I can't just hand it over." Brandon sighed and pulled back. "Alright, but we can't drag our feet. The sooner, the better. I want Lucy to see Penelope again, so they can get back to their happy times." This plan was wild and risky.

It was a total gamble! But it was a solid plan! With Isabella's deep love, she might hand over the antidote. Still, Brandon would have to endure the pain! "The poison's effects are brutal." Kelvin warned. "Brandon, don't think just because Isabella could handle it, you can too. She's nuts and doesn't fear death anymore." "I know. The more I suffer, the softer Isabella's heart will get." He was the bait, after all.

Only by seeing Brandon truly poisoned and writhing in pain could Isabella's love and pity be triggered.

True love was rooted in wanting their well-being more than,vour own.

Let's see if Brandon's plan could make Isabella hand over the antidote! "We need to think this through," Kelvin said, pursing his lips. "And I need to talk to Penelope." Brandon was taken aback. "Don't tell her!" "You think you can keep it from her? Besides, she deserves to know!" "But she won't agree!" Brandon argued. "The sooner we do it, the better, to avoid more complications! Or, wait until I've taken it and can't turn back, then tell her!" Kelvin chuckled.

Penelope loved Brandon and would never agree to let him take such a risk. Kelvin knew this without even asking. But he couldn't just go along with Brandon's plan on his own.

Otherwise, Penelope would bland hate him.

"I gotta go." Kelvin turned away. "I'll let you know if there's any news." "Just give it to me!" "I can't do that." "Then." Brandon stepped back. "The sooner, the better. Tonight, if possible!" Kelvin was already walking away.

Brandon stood there, worry etched on his face.

Taking poison was no small thing. Of course, Brandon wouldn't be in real danger because Kelvin could give him the antidote anytime.

But during the poisoning process, a person would lose their mind and memory, and the pain would vanish, leading to uncontrollable self-harm.

That's why Isabella had so many bruises and wounds! Brandon stared at the closed hospital room door, a heavy sense of despair washing over him. Exploiting Isabella's love to coax the antidote from her was their final, desperate gambit.

"Isabella, if you hand over the antidote to save me, then no matter what happens next, I'll protect you," Brandon said. "I'll give you a chance, as my way of repaying you!" After a long look, Brandon turned and left.

Penelope was by the bedside.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up. "How's Isabella?" "She took the antidote. And Brandon cover." "Brandon?" Penelope asked. "Did he cto see Isabella?" "Yeah, and he talked toabout something." Kelvin opted for honesty, leaving the decision to Penelope. Brandon was prepared, and Kelvin, driven to save Lucy, was fully committed.

It all depended on what Penelope thought! "What is it?" Penelope asked. "Does he want to protect Isabella?" "No. He proposed a plan..." Kelvin had just started speaking when suddenly, a voice cfrom the bed. "Daddy." He was startled.

Penelope was even more frightened, her face turning pale, frozen in place, not daring to move or look back at Lucy! What to do? Lucy suddenly woke up! Should she cover her face and run away immediately? Or had Lucy already recognized her from her back? If she left now, Lucy would ask and cry, leaving Kelvin to deal with her alone? How could Kelvin, a man, comfort a child? What if he scared Lucy?

She looked at Kelvin with eyes like a frightened deer.

Kelvin's hand fell on her shoulder, very calmly.

"I'm here," he responded. "Lucy, you're awake?" He walked forward while pushing Penelope behind him, using his body to shield her.

"Yeah," Lucy said. "Daddy, my hand hurts. I don't want the IV." "It hurts? What's wrong? Did the needle slip?" Kelvin looked down at her hand.

Penelope instinctively said, "Maybe m the IV fluid is too cold, and she's uncomfortable. Wrap the IV tube with a heating pad to warm it up." She used to wrap Lucy's IV tube like this often.

So, this sentence cout of Penelope's mouth almost without thinking.

After saying it, Penelope regretted it.

Why was her mouth faster than her brain? It was a mother's instinct to care for her daughter! Kelvin had already pushed her back; she could have taken the opportunity to slip out! Lucy hadn't noticed her yet! Now, with Penelope speaking, Lucy immediately noticed her! Kelvin's expression also changed slightly.

He stepped forward again, completely blocking Lucy's view.

happened as "I'll call the nurse," he pretended nothing had happened, as if Penelope hadn't spoken at all. "Lucy, bear with it for a moment."
