Chapter 7 The sharp smell of disinfectant hit her nose . Isabel tried to open her eyes , but they felt so heavy , and she just couldn't move . Waves of pain shot through her back and lower belly . Then , a voice - filled with deep regret and pain - drifted into her ears , shaky and broken . " Isabel ... I'm sorry ... I really am ... I didn't know ... I honestly didn't know you were pregnant ... I'm so sorry for our baby ... We can have another one , I promise ... " Pregnant ? Those two words slammed into her already broken heart like a ton of bricks . She had always dreamed of having a child with him , yet before she even got the chance to know this baby was real , she lost them forever . And it was all because of him . " Isabel , please ! Don't blame me , just hang in there a little longer . I'll make it up to you over and over again - I'll make it up to our baby ... " Benjamin's voice came through again , filled with nothing but guilt and despair . But Isabel just thought it was completely ridiculous ! Totally disgusting ! To keep up his own lie , he could even ditch her when their lives were on the line . He didn't even have the guts to give her that fake , cheap apology until she was out cold . And he actually convinced himself that he could win her forgiveness ? She would never forgive him ! The pain and guilt he felt only made her feel this huge wave of irony and an even colder feeling in her heart . A mix of deep sadness and anger washed over her , pulling her consciousness back into endless darkness . When she finally opened her eyes again , the first thing she saw was a nurse looking at her with concern . " Ms. Ackrea , you're awake ? How are you feeling ? Is your back and lower belly still hurting ? " the nurse asked gently . Isabel tried to speak , but her throat was so dry that no sound came out . The nurse quickly helped her sit up gently , grabbed a cup of warm water , and fed her slowly , sip by sip . " Mrs. Bagnall , you ... you had a miscarriage ... You really need to take it easy , " the nurse said with a sympathetic tone . Isabel nodded , feeling empty and lost inside . 0.0 % 12:46 She looked around the ward . Besides the nurse , there was no one else in sight . Suddenly , she heard muffled arguing coming from outside the door . It was Harvey and Margot . " Just look at what happened ! Our grandson is gone just like that ! " Isabel's heart sank as guilt washed over her . She almost closed her eyes to pretend she was asleep when Harvey's angry voice cut through clearly . " Benjamin ! You've really messed up this time ! That Gianna - you can mess around with her if you want , but with her background ? There's no way she deserves to be part of the Bagnall family ! Keeping her as a mistress is already more than enough ! You need to snap out of this ' amnesia ' right now . Go comfort Isabel properly so she can rest and recover and we expect a healthy grandson soon ! " " That's right ! " Margot chimed in , her voice urgent . " Stop pretending that you lost your memory . Get back and live a good life with Isabel . And about that fishmonger woman - just throw her some cash to keep her away . She can never have a kid for the Bagnall family . " Isabel felt like she'd been hit by lightning . It was as if all the blood had frozen in her veins at that moment . She instinctively dug her fingers into the cold edge of the hospital bed , nearly breaking her nails . So they all knew . They had known all along that Benjamin was faking his memory loss .
