My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 637

"Stop thinking only about yourself—think about your family for once."

Isabella Austin expected to see Rose Ward break down, to see fear or desperation flicker across her face, but there was nothing of the sort.

Instead, Rose looked more furious than Isabella had ever seen her.

"You dare mention my grandmother?" Rose’s voice trembled with rage as she clenched her jaw. "Isabella, can you honestly tell me—how many years have you lied to me?"

For a split second, Isabella’s composure faltered, panic tightening in her chest. But she recovered quickly, forcing her voice steady.

"I haven’t lied to you. Don’t let your mind run wild—"

"My grandmother never had late-stage bone cancer, did she?!"

It was as if Isabella could hear her own heart plummet.

Rose knew?

That was impossible.

"You must have been duped by some second-rate clinic or incompetent doctor."

"It was Emily Blair, wasn’t it? She’s the one who took you there," Isabella snapped, regaining her calm with years of practiced self-control. Her words tumbled out quickly, "Don’t believe a word she says. She’s using you, Rose. She’s using you to get at me. Don’t let her manipulate you."

"Rose, listen to me. Think carefully. Every specialist I consulted has a doctorate from a top university abroad. Each one was carefully vetted, and the tests they ran were extensive—with the best equipment available. Their diagnosis couldn’t possibly be wrong. And it’s been years—if something was off, you would’ve caught it long ago. Why are you only questioning it now?"

But Rose was immovable, her voice tight with controlled fury. "I had my grandmother tested at the best hospital in the city. I went to every major public hospital in the capital. The results were the same—none of them matched your so-called specialists. My grandmother doesn’t have late-stage bone cancer. You lied to me."
