Author's point of view The next morning, immediately after she woke up, she noticed Tootie was still asleep, so she moved to the bathroom, washed up, and left. She moved slowly to Noah's room, placed a knock, and opened the door slightly. She saw Noah taking some pills, and she looked worried and opened his door wide, bringing his attention to her. “Are you okay?” She asked, sounding worried. And Noah looked at her. “Isabelle, I'm fine; you should have knocked at least.” He said, he still didn't look happy. He was dressed up like he wanted to leave for work. “I did; I'm sorry I barged in, though; I saw you taking those pills. I thought you weren't well.” She said and he stood up from the chair and walked close to her. “I'm fine.” His voice was low and he walked away from his room. Isabelle's breath seized as he got close to her, and when he walked away, she breathed out and looked at the pills; she walked to the table where it was kept, took one tablet, held it tight, and walke
Author's point of view She was quite surprised to see his call, then she answered. “Isabelle aren't you coming home? Have you decided to stay there for how long?” He just went straight to the point. No greetings, he didn't even ask if she was okay. “Raphael, I'll be home soon. Besides, when did you start caring about my presence or absence? Aren't you a workaholic anymore?” She asked him, sounding upset already. “What do you mean by that?” Raphael asked with a stern voice, he wasn't even bothered if he offended her or not. “You know what? I'm coming home, there are a lot of things I want us to talk about.” Isabelle said, and he didn't say a word; he ended the call. Isabelle sighs and stands up. “Isabelle, what's wrong?” Noah asked because it was so obvious that Isabelle wasn't okay. “Uhh, I'm leaving now, I'll come back tomorrow.” Isabelle ignored his questions and picked up her bag. “Wait, are you going back to your husband?” He asked her, he looked worried and didn't want he
Author's point of view Noah wasn't comfortable with the fact that Isabelle went home alone. He went back upstairs and saw Tootie sleeping so peacefully. He couldn't leave Tootie all by herself at home so he then called a lady, madam Mary, someone who his father introduced to him as someone who took care of him since his mother passed away. The lady was aged but never got married. She took care of Noah as his nanny. He called her and asked if she was in town and asked her for a favor. She agreed and came over to his house to watch Tootie while he was gone till he returned. Noah got dressed and picked up the polls hile was supposed to take. He wanted to know if without these pills he could remember his past because he has been taking the pills since he woke up in his father's hospital. He held the pills container tightly and trashed it as he got outside. Not too long Raymond came over, earlier Noah called Raymond to accompany him over to the place. As Raymond arrived they both t
