Chapter 137

Bella’s POV:

When the doctor asked, Herbert walked over and said, “I’m her friend. How is she?”

The doctor glanced at Herbert and replied, “It’s not a big deal. We saved her in time, but she has to be treated in time. Where is her family? Some documents have to be signed and she has to pay the hospitalization fee. The patient has been sent to the ward. Inform her family to take care of her.”

Hearing this, Herbert glanced at me and replied, “She has no family now. I can pay and sign for her.”

“Fine.” Only then did the doctor take out the document and let Herbert sign it. Herbert glanced at Connor, who immediately went to pay the bill. After signing, the doctor took the document and left.

Herbert walked up to me and explained to me, “I’m sorry. She has no relatives now. I have to take care of her.”

To be honest, I found it very strange. Since she’s already his ex-girlfriend, why did he still have to take care of her?

But after thinking about it carefully, Caroline had no relatives or other friends in the city. Herbert was her only friend, and they grew up together.

If I were in such a situation, I probably wouldn’t have been able to completely ignore it.

Although I did mind the existence of Caroline, I still chose to understand and be tolerant. I said, “I understand.”

“It’s getting late. Shall I send you back first?” asked Herbert. “No need. You’d better go to see Caroline first. I can go back by myself.” I said.

I could see that he was a little anxious.

Herbert said, “Be careful. Send me a message when you get home. I’ll go to the ward first.”

“Okay.” I nodded.

Then he turned around and walked to the ward.

Looking at the back of Herbert, I was disappointed. Until I couldn’t see his back, I turned around and slowly walked to the main door of the emergency room.

On my way home, my mood was very contradictory.

Why should I be so tolerant? I couldn’t believe that he had to take care of his ex-girlfriend.

Maybe I should have been a little more willful just now. I couldn’t let him see Caroline.

What if he fell in love with her again? Even if that was not the case, everyone knew how much she loved Herbert. What if she took the initiative to seduce him?

When I walked out of the emergency room, I suddenly saw Connor running over in a hurry.

“Miss Stepanek, the hospital needs Miss Ewell’s ID card in order to proceed with the formalities. This is the bill I paid for her just now. Please put this bill in the ward. There will be a nurse to fetch it.” Connor stuffed a stack of bills into my hands.

And then. Connor turned and left. This iust hannened to give me a chance to go back to the ward to 14:06 bulan visit Herbert “Which ward?” I shouted at Connor’s back.

Connor replied, “Room 32 ward on the 8th floor of the hospital!”

“Got it.” I nodded at him.

A few minutes later, I found room 32.

The ward door was closed. I was about to knock when I heard someone talking inside.

“Herbert, don’t blame me. I didn’t go to see Bella on purpose.” Caroline said while crying.

“You have to pay more attention to your body.” Herbert’s voice was gentle.

“Don’t blame Bella. She was a little emotional at that time, so she had a conflict with me. She didn’t mean to push me. I have to be blamed for falling down. In addition, I was so agitated that I suddenly got sick.” Caroline continued to cry. I couldn’t help frowning. Caroline really knew how to talk nonsense?

She was accusing me of hitting her, that was why she suddenly got sick. When I saw that she was ill, I treated her with the medicine and called an ambulance to take her to the hospital. I saved her!

Caroline crossed the line!

I didn’t immediately go in. Instead, I continued to stand at the door and listened to what Herbert would say to her.

Then, he asked, “I’ve made it clear to you about what happened between us. Why are you still looking for Bella?”

“… I can’t live without you. Herbert, why can’t we start over?” In the hospital bed, there was a pleading look in Caroline’s eyes.

“Our relationship is in the past. I don’t want to repeat this again. You must receive treatment now. I’ve already called Miranda to take care of you,” said Herbert. At this time, Caroline suddenly grabbed Herbert’s hand and begged him. “Herbert, don’t leave me. I’m so scared!”

“Caroline, be strong. I’ve already communicated with the doctors in Europe. He said that your illness can be completely controlled. When your health is better, I’ll send you to Europe to continue your treatment.”

Herbert encouraged her.

“No! I don’t want to go to Europe. I don’t want to leave you.” The next moment, Caroline got out of bed barefoot and hugged Herbert.

With his back facing the door, I couldn’t see the expression on his face. Alll could see was that Caroline had thrown herself into his arms, but he didn’t push her away. My hand grasped the bill in my hand. I felt very uncomfortable, and even my breathing became difficult.

The next second, I pushed the door open and knocked on it with my fingers! When they saw me, their expressions were full of surprise. Then Herbert pushed Caroline away, and she sat on the bed. “It seems that I’ve disturbed you.” I walked into the room and said coldly.

Herbert walked quickly to me and lowered his voice. “What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Was I talking nonsense?” I stared into Herbert’s eyes and asked. “…” Without waiting for Herbert’s explanation, I stuffed the bill into his hands. “This is what Connor told me to give you. I’m leaving!”

I glanced at Caroline and found that there was provocation in her eyes, which made me even angrier.

I turned and walked out of the ward. I didn’t want to waste a second there.
