Isabella noticed how the doctor's eyes quickly scanned Gabriel before he replied, "I am afraid this is the first time I will be setting my eyes on him."
"So, how long have you known Ms. Isabella?"
"I'd say about ten, eleven years."
"That's a long period."
"Yes, I have been in charge of taking care of Isabella for a long time following the orders of her father."
The questioning was smooth so far but Isabella knew it wouldn't continue to be that way.
"Would you say you and the defendant have a close relationship?"
"Well," Dr. Jones made a thinking face. "Not really. But she was certainly not stiff around me. She never made it seem like I was just her doctor. It was almost like I was her friend she met from time to time."
"So, you were aware of her marriage to Gabriel Manifold?"
"I found out that she had been married for a while when she visited me at the hospital with an injury on her shoulder." He made a gesture at his right shoulder and Isabella just had to grip something as she felt that tumultuous moment approach.
"An injury?"
"Yes, it was very deep. And, when I asked her what happened, all she said was that she had finally gotten married. The funny thing is, since that day, she always came by the hospital for treatments of more injuries like that."
"Didn't it occur to you to ask her what kept causing her injuries?"
Squinting his tiny eyes, Dr. Jones replied, "She never gave me a response whenever I became curious and I never pushed her. Until..."
"Until?"
Dr. Jones's eyes met Isabella's and she could read his apology. He was about to mention it...The one thing that made her hate her marriage to Gabriel more and more.
Jones sighed and faced the Judges' panel. "Until she suffered a miscarriage."
