Chapter 128

Bellas POV There was blood on the floor. I recalled the scene when he walked pass by the glass shards.

Could it be that the blood on the ground was caused by the broken glass?

A few seconds later, I ran to the door. I ran to the gate of the hospital, but I didn’t catch up with Herbert. I looked around a lot of places, but I didn’t see him at all. I turned around alone, feeling very depressed…

When I got back to the hospital bed, a doctor and a nurse soon examined my body and congratulated me on recovering my hearing.

I knew it must be Herbert who told the doctor. Although he left angrily, he was still concerned about my health I felt even more guilty.

Then, I was led by a nurse to do a full-body physical examination. By the time the examination was over, it was already afternoon.

I sat by the bed and looked at the orange sky with mixed feelings.

Would he come tonight?

Of course not!

Since Herbert was so angry, he would definitely not forgive me.

Just as I was thinking this, I suddenly heard the door behind me open. Was it Herbert? I turned my head and saw that the only person who had walked in was Connor. I was immediately extremely disappointed.

“Miss Stepanek?” Connor laughed as he spoke. I shot a glance at Connor and asked, “What did he send you here for?” Connor handed me a white box in his hand. “This is the latest cell phone. Mr. Wharton asked me to send it to you.”

I took the box My phone was smashed by him two days ago. I couldn’t contact the outside world now.

.

He was so considerate.

Trecalled that during the time when I had an accident, it was all Herbert who was taking care of me.

I felt that my eyes were sore. There were not much people who were willing to care about me.

“He… What else did he say?” I asked. “Nothing.” Connor replied, and then said, “Mr. Wharton asked me to come over and communicate with the doctor to see if your examination results are still alright.” I didn’t say anything. Since my hearing had recovered, there was no need for me to stay in the hospital.

Connor then said, ‘Just now, I already communicated with your attending doctor. The results of the examination will only come out tomorrow. However, he said that there shouldn’t be any major problems When can I be discharged from the hospital? Indeed, I didn‘t want to stay here anymore. I felt that this place seemed to be filled with the scent of Herbert The doctor said that after the results of the examination are out tomorrow, if there aren’t any problems, you can be discharged after another day of observation’ Connor replied, *Thank you.” I looked down at the white box in my hand.

“This is what I should do. Miss Stepanek, if you don’t have any other orders, I’ll leave forst.” Connor said.

“How’s… his foot? I suddenly thought of his injured foot and couldn’t help asking.

Connor was puzzled. “Foot? Mr. Wharton’s foot what’s wrong?”

Connor didn’t know about the condition of Herbert’s feet, so I couldn’t find anything I said, ‘It’s nothing.

You can go!”

“Goodbye. Connor left.

“Goodbye.” I was a little depressed when I didn’t see Herbert.

Connor withdrew from the ward and closed the door.

I opened the package and took out a white mobile phone. I put my phone card into it and turned it on.

Staring at the phone screen, I really wanted to call Herbert.

But when I dialed the number of Herbert, I hesitated. I didn’t know what to say to him. At this moment, I suddenly thought if my hearing hadn’t recovered yet, would it be better than now? Shouldn’t Herbert be sitting on this chair to accompany me now? I thought for a long time, and finally decided to send a text message to Herbert. “Is your foot okay?” However, after this text message was sent out, there was no reply throughout the night.

The next morning, my eyes were a little swollen because I didn’t sleep well last night, After this night, I also understood that Herbert would probably ignore me.

The words he shouted at me that day emerged in my mind.

He was worried about my injury and said that he gave up important things in the company in order to accompany me, Did he love me? If he loved me, why didn’t he say it? And what’s wrong with Caroline? Or, as I guessed before, he loved two women at the same time?

If that was the case, I chose not to accept this love.

The love I wanted was to be the only one.

The results came out. My body had completely recovered. I could leave the hospital.

Herbert didn’t come to pick me up. He sent Connor to pick me up.

This time, I was much calmer. I didn’t ask Connor any news about Herbert.

But I accepted the phone he gave me. He broke my phone. He should compensate me.

After returning home, I spent half a day cleaning the house. It was really hard to do housework. I felt more tired than work.

I was about to sit down and take a breath when the doorbell rang. At this time, I was wearing old jeans, a very old white T-shirt, and a temporary hat made of a piece of cloth on my head. I didn’t look very good, so it was inconvenient for me to see guests. But after thinking about it carefully, I found that no one would come except Joey and the landlord, so I went to open the door.

When I saw the person standing outside, I was stunned.

Outside the door, Herbert was standing outside in a black trench coat. He was wearing sunglasses. I couldn’t see his eyes clearly, but I felt a little embarrassed. I quickly reached out and pulled off the flowery hat on my head. “I’m here to talk about your compensation from Klein and Vivian for you.”

Herbert was the first to speak. Hearing this, I reacted quickly and said, “Come in!” Herbert stepped in, and I quickly pointed to the sofa. “Please… please sit down!”
