Isabelle remarked, “Cwithto the hospital for a check-up later.” Joshua agreed easily. "Sure." Isabelle then chose a black Maybach.

After getting the car, they headed to the hospital.

Joshua asked, "Can you tellnow? Isabelle said while driving, "You look a lot like your brother, sbuild and personality." Joshua asked, "Where is he?" Isabelle replied, "He's dead." Joshua's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth, "Are you messing with me?" "Would I need to?" Joshua looked at Isabelle's calm face and fell silent.

He sat there without saying anything, not sure what he was thinking. After a while, he asked weakly, “Where did you meet him?" "I've never met him." Joshua frowned, glaring at her, his anger reaching its peak.

Isabelle said, "I've only seen his photos." Joshua asked, “What photos? Where did you get them?" Isabelle replied, "A friend showed them to me. My friend was close with your brother." "Where's your friend? And the photos?" "My friend is dead, and the photos are gone." 1/3 Dead, My Friend's Dead Finished "Your" If Isabelle weren't a woman, Joshua would've already started a fight.

Isabelle: "It's up to you to believe it." Joshua felt a lump of anger stuck in his chest, making it hard to breathe.

He couldn't seem to process the sudden news and stayed silent at the hospital and through the check-up. The kicks Joshua got at the club didn't break any bones, but the bruises looked nasty and hurt.

Joshua sat shirtless while a nurse applied ointment to his injuries.

Isabelle stood nearby, looking at Joshua's body covered in old wounds and several knife scars. The injuries from the steel pipe a few days ago were still there, and looking pretty serious.

After leaving the hospital, they got back into the car.

Joshua asked calmly, "When did he die? How did he die? And why did your friend die too?" "I don't know. And as for my friend's death, it's not convenient to talk about." There was another stretch of silence. Joshua seemed to be accepting the situation, his tone softening, "Was he doing alright when he was alive?" Isabelle replied, "Probably." Joshua asked, "Did he know he had a younger brother?" Isabelle answered, “I'm not sure. That's why I'm not completely certain you're his brother. I don't know much about him. I've only heard about him from my friend and never got the chance to meet him." Joshua looked at her. "So, your inexplicable kindness towards me, is it because of him?" Isabelle replied bluntly, "Am I not allowed to take an interest in your affairs, especially since we are friends? Joshua asked, "What if I'm not his brother, just someone who looks like him?" Isabelle gripped the steering wheel and remarked, "Just looking alike should be enough." Then she added quickly, "Let's just hope your brother is still doing well." Joshua, as if making small talk, inquired, “Is your friend a guy or a girl?" Isabelle answered, "Girl." He asked, /Are you close with her? Otherwise, why would you be so concerned about her friend's brother, especially when you're not certain?" Isabelle, however, shifted the conversation and asked back, “Seems like you're more interested in my friend than your brother." She glanced at him.

Joshua couldn't be bothered to respond to her.

Isabelle chuckled. “Or is it that you want to hear sunrelated reasons from me, like why I might be interested in vou anart from my friend and your brother?" 2/3 Tour Brother's Dead, My Friend's Dead Joshua, feeling embarrassed and angered, retorted, "This is absurd!"

She agreed quickly, relieving Joshua, who had been unsure how to ask, and he couldn't help but look at her.
