Back to Her

Rachel accompanies Isabela, who comes to CI without any news. The girl looked lethargic and had disappeared a week after she allowed Niels to be transferred to CI. Isabela isolated herself, calming herself from her turmoil. Jackson didn't even visit him, knowing that his arrival would only make her sadder.

Luckily, Rachel could see that Isabela was tougher this time. He was no longer crying like yesterday, making Rachel a little more free to ask him to talk about important things.

"How was your study, Isa?" Rachel asked, leading her to sit on a chair next to Niels' bed. "You're not sick, are you? You are okay?"

Isabella sighed. "I'm good, my studies too… I'll start again after vacation. My lecturers know this news, out of nowhere."

"They know it?" Rachel asked probingly, as she remembered that she had been very neat in hiding the news of Niels' health. "How could they know? To what extent? Did you tell them yourself?"
