Chapter 29
“Answer me Isobel!”Oliver demanded from the quiet Isobel
“Yes! Am leaving because of my sickness” Isobel replied.
“This is all a lie. Did my father put you up to it! Did he threaten you with something? Tell me Isobel. Don’t leave me in the dark” Oliver demanded.
“Your father didn’t put me up to it! I had that test before we met again. I was injured while having a part-time job and i went to the hospital to get treated only to be told about my illness.
Your father seemed to know someone at the hospital and he happened to see me there. You can confirm at the hospital but that isn’t important now”Isobel said
“The important thing now is that I leave”Isobel added.
“You aren’t leaving! I won’t let that hap……”
“Don’t you see that am going to die. I have luekemia. I didn’t detect it on time so I can get the necessary cure. I did at a late time and am going to die”She said cutting him off.
“You aren’t going to die! We will find a way to get you cured. We will visit the best doctor and…..”
“I don’t want that! I don’t want to spend the little days I have left on earth in the hospital.
I don’t want to be on drugs and in the closure of the hospital. I want to die peacefully away from the hospital”She replied cutting him off once again.
“By receiving treatment we can fight this. We can overcome it”Oliver cajoled trying to get her to see sense.
“We can’t do anything. Respect my wishes on this and let me leave!”
“I cant do that! I won’t let you leave. You’ve got to get treatment and……”
“Stop it Oliver! My life is over just like loveth d!ed, I will be dying and instead of watching you drown away like Owen, I would rather leave your life”She said as she walked past him but he pulled her to him, hugging her tight .
“You won’t die like loveth and i won’t die like Owen did. So don’t leave. I will respect your wish on not getting any treatment, just stay with me”Oliver begged wrapping his arms more closely around her.
“Staying with you will only destroy me. Dying isn’t something scary to me but seeing you dejected and weak after I die is something that makes me scared. I want you to be happy.
To enjoy your life to the fullest, find someone better than me but it must not be Melissa. That bch doesn’t deserve you”She told him.
“So leaving me is the best thing for me?”He asked and she nodded. Glad that he finally understands her.
“Since you insist on going then I have no choice”He said as let her go.
“Am sorry that I have to leave this way but it’s the best. You will realise that when the time comes”She said.
“I will”Oliver muttered looking sad.
“I will pack my stuff then” leaving him standing there, she went to take her stuff.
“Oliver I need you to…..”She stop when she looked up to find Oliver gone.
“Oliver”She called as she went to the door way. Pushing it to find it locked.
“Oliver! What are you doing?”She yelled out at him.
“I won’t let you leave Isobel. You can’t leave me and you will be getting your treatment. I won’t sit back and watch you die”Oliver said through the hall way.
“Open this door Oliver! Don’t do this”Isobel said heating the door.
“Am much more stronger than Owen. I won’t be beaten by de.ath just as how you won’t be beaten by death too. I won’t let it happen”Oliver told her before leaving.

***********************
It was night time when Oliver realise that he has been in his study for too long.
He had left some guards to watch Isobel door although it was locked.
He didn’t want her to leave but she has already made her mind and the only way to stop her is by locking her up.
He has been calling the doctors he knew, asking for advise but there haven’t been good result.
Why did this have to happen, just when he found her again. Just when he thinks that everything will be fine and he would get to live happily with the one he loves but everything is just getting worse.
“Is my wife still in?”He asked the guards who nodded in reply.
“Open up” he ordered and immediately they did as he said.
He walked in only to find no one in the room. Seems like Isobel left with out saying a word to him.
