Chapter 127

Bella‘s POV:

That afternoon, Joey brought some fruits to the hospital to visit me. I quickly pulled Joey to my side and whispered, “I can hear you.” Joey was very surprised, and then she asked me, “Why didn‘t you tell others?” “I‘m anxious about this.” I said.

Joey thought for a moment and said, “You can disguise yourself for a few more days and make Vivian anxious. It‘s too much for her to hit someone before she figured it out.”

“If I recover, they‘re willing to compensate me.” I said.

“That’s good. You must have lost your job. If you don‘t even have compensation, how are you going to live? It‘s Vivian‘s fault. You should let her compensate you. You must not refuse this compensation.” Joey said.

“I‘m not stupid. Although I‘m fine now, I‘ve been sent to the hospital because of her violence. It’s a great blow to my mentality.” I said.

“I bought you a glass. It‘s more convenient for you to drink water.” Joey handed me a very beautiful carved glass cup.

“Thank you.” I liked the gift from Joey.

After Joey left, I laid in bed and thought about what to do next.

I thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to wait for him to come in the afternoon. I would tell him that my ears had recovered. As for the follow–up matters, they still needed to be handled by the lawyer. While I was thinking, I fell asleep.

In the evening, Herbert appeared.

I pretended that I didn‘t hear his footsteps until he walked to the front of the hospital bed. Then I looked up at him.

Herbert put a bag on the table on the hospital bed and said, “I remember that the professor also knows that you like to eat this bun, right?” Hearing this, I couldn‘t help frowning and complaining in my heart, “Dude, do you think you can bully me like this if I can‘t hear you?” I didn‘t say anything. I didn‘t tell him immediately that I had recovered.

I wanted to know what he would say.

Herbert picked up a pen and wrote a few words on a piece of paper. “I specially prepared it for you, your favorite bun.”

Seeing these words, I couldn‘t help frowning. The words on the note were different from what he had just said.

“Thank you.” I wrote these two words on the paper. Then he picked up the tableware and began to eat.

Herbert began to speak again. “Vivian hit you this time. It’s indeed wrong, but you did something wrong.

What did you do to make people misunderstand your ambiguous relationship with Klein? If it veren‘t for you making Vivian misunderstand, she wouldn‘t have hit you!” Herbert whispered.

Hearing this, I was stunned! What did he mean today? Why did he talk to me? Did he want to say that I deserved to be beaten, or did he want to vent his emotions when I couldn‘t hear him? Based on my understanding of him, he shouldn‘t be such a person! If he had another purpose, then what was his purpose? When I lowered my head and was lost in thought, the glass hit the ground with a loud noise. I immediately looked up and saw that the cup that Joey had bought me had been smashed on the floor.

“My cup!” I shouted. “I deliberately smashed it.” Herbert‘s voice came at this time. Hearing his words, I couldn‘t help but ask, “Why did you smash my cup? It‘s just a cup. Did it hinder you?!...” Herbert didn‘t say anything, but just stared at me. I immediately realized that I was exposed.

I instinctively covered my mouth with my hands. My cheeks were burning hot, and the feeling of being seen through was very uncomfortable. “Your hearing has recovered in the morning, hasn‘t it?” Herbert questioned me in a cold tone.

I looked up and saw his sharp eyes. After that, I realized that he deliberately dropped the cup just now to test me.

In fact, I wanted to tell him just now, but now it seemed to be too late.

“Are you testing me on purpose?” I asked. “You are deliberately lying to me.” Herbert‘s eyes were very scary. “L...” I didn‘t know how to respond. No matter how I explained it, it became a malicious deception.

Herbert stood up from the chair and walked up to me step by step. I heard the sound of his shoes stepping on the glass chips, and I couldn‘t help frowning. “Do you know how worried I was when I heard that you were injured in the hospital? I drove past several red lights and almost hit several cars!”

Herbert‘s voice was so loud that it seemed that he wanted to lift the roof.

I looked at him in confusion. He had never told me these things, and I didn‘t even know. “When I knew that you had lost your hearing, I would rather be the one who had lost it!” Herbert continued to roar.

My eyes were fixed on him. This confession really touched me. He was not a man who could express his feelings. I knew this better than anyone else. “I‘m afraid that you will be scared, so I left all my work here to accompany you! Do you know how much damage I‘ll bring to the company if I don‘t stay in the company for a whole day? I still chose to accompany you.” Herbert took two steps back. I looked at Herbert in shock. I really didn‘t know that.

“You‘re lying to me. Do you really think I‘m a fool?” After shouting, Herbert angrily pushed the chair to the ground, turned around, and left the ward.

| sat on the hospital bed. I really didn‘t know about what he said just now, and I didn‘t know at all.

But I believe what he said was true.

At this moment, my heart was filled with guilt…
