Chapter 286

Bella‘s POV: I thought for a moment and said, “Please thank Gary for me. Lucky‘s a stubborn child. It must be hard for her.”

I knew that Gary was a person who could be trusted. Although Herbert had done a lot of harm to me, he took good care of Lucas.

That was why I could rest assured that Lucky was with him for the time being. “Okay.” Herbert nodded, then glanced at me, turned around, and left with Lucas. In the next few days, Herbert would come to see me with Lucas every morning, bringing photos of Lucky every day. I saw that Lucky was very well–

behaved, so I rested in the hospital and recuperated. 1 usually had a nurse to take care of me.

I could see that this time, Herbert was deliberately keeping a distance from me. Every day, half an hour after he brought Lucas to the hospital, he would use the excuse of sending Lucas to the kindergarten and that he needed to go to work to leave earlier.

I think it was good. I wouldn‘t feel uncomfortable. Herbert wouldn‘t be awkward too. This was probably a very good way to get along with each other. He and I were raising our two children together.

There was no emotional connection between us.

This was the feeling I wanted, but sometimes, especially in the middle of the night, I would still feel very sad.

After being hospitalized this time, I knew that health was the most important thing, especially now! had two children to take care of. I really couldn‘t fall down. So I was very obedient to the doctor‘s arrangement in the hospital, hoping that my body could get better quickly.

A week later, I could finally leave the hospital. In the morning, Herbert and Lucas came to pick me up from the hospital. Connor drove the car at a high speed on the road. Herbert sat in the passenger seat, while I sat in the back seat with Lucas.

Along the way, the three adults didn‘t communicate with each other, except for Lucas, who was talking non–stop. I felt that the atmosphere was a little strange, but fortunately, Lucas was there and the atmosphere in the car was not bad.

As soon as I entered the house, Connor brought up all the things I used in the hospital. Herbert followed in, holding Lucas‘s hand. I didn‘t see Lucky when I entered the door. I frowned and turned to look at Herbert and asked in doubt, “Didn‘t you say that you would ask Gaynor to send Lucky back?” Hearing this, Herbert didn‘t reply to me. Instead, he turned his head and instructed Connor, “Connor, bring Lucas down and wait for me.” When Connor heard these words, he knew that we had something to say. As such, he walked up and held Lucas‘s hand. With a smile, he said, “Lucas, I‘ll bring you down to play, okay?” “Okay.” Lucas looked up at Herbert and me, and then added, “I know that Daddy and Mommy have something to talk about, and I need to avoid it.” Hearing this, I frowned. Why didn‘t Herbert send Lucky back? Was she sick?

I was a little worried. After Connor and Lucas left, the room entered a state of silence “I have something to discuss with you.” Then, Herbert said to me solemnly.

Hearing this, I first calmed down.

TAO If it was about Lucky, he wouldn‘t talk to me in such a tone now.

He had something to discuss with me, which meant that it was between him and I. “Herbert, are you going to take Lucky away from me?” “I‘m telling you, that can‘t happen. Lucky must live with me!” I was a little excited. – “Bella, calm down. Let me finish what I want to say, okay?” said Herbert.

“I don‘t want to hear it. In short, if you want to steal Lucky, I won‘t agree,” I said stubbornly.

“No one wants to take Lucky away, including me. I just want to discuss with you how to raise her better.

Of course, it will make it easier for you.” Herbert tried to explain.

But I didn‘t listen to his explanation at all, because I had been in a panic all the time. He wanted to fight for the right to raise Lucky. Lucky had never left me since she was born. I would never let her leave me.

“I can continue to take care of my daughter! What else do we need to discuss?” In fact, in my heart, I was very sensitive to the problem of raising her. I was also very afraid that Herbert would compete with me for the right to raise her. Because I knew that if he really wanted to grab Lucky, I was no match for him at all. Herbert softened his tone and said, “Isn‘t it hard for you to take care of the child alone? This time, being hospitalized is the best proof. You‘re too tired and you‘ve worked too hard. And if you keep taking care of Lucky like this, Lucky won‘t receive the best treatment.” “You said so much just to take her away from me!” I stared at Herbert with vigilance. It was only now that Herbert suddenly began to laugh.

“What are you laughing at?” I stared at him. “First of all, I declare that I didn‘t think of competing for the right to raise Lucky, and I won‘t have this idea in the future,” said Herbert. “Then what do you want to discuss with me?” I asked, surprised. “I have a suggestion. If you want to, we‘ll do it. If you don‘t want to, I‘ll respect your wishes.” Herbert tried hard to explain to me.

Herbert didn‘t want to compete with me for the ridht to raise Lucky, and his friendly attitude calmed me down. I said, “What is your suggestion?”
