Chapter 380

Bella’s POV:

“Do you think I need to see her? What does she want? Keep showing off to me? Or tell me that she won’t let me go even if she becomes a ghost?” I said with a sneer.

Herbert lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. I sat on the bed angrily. After a while, I said calmly. “She doesn’t have much time left. If you want to accompany her, I will not object, but I will not go to see her.”

Herbert walked up to me, reached out his hand, and grabbed my shoulder, saying, “Actually, in the past two years, I had never looked for her.”

Hearing this, I stared at him in surprise.

Caroline’s asthma was getting more and more serious. It became worse after the incident last time.

Although I didn’t ask about it, I guessed that he had gone to see her. Although he hated her very much, she no longer had any relatives. Herbert had been paying for her medical expenses and hired someone to take care of her.

Seeing my surprised eyes, Herbert smiled bitterly and said, “I didn’t want to see her again in my life, but just now I received a phone call from the hospital. I… have a very complicated mood. After all, we grew up together and once fell in love with each other, so I still want to see her f I’ll just take it as a complete end.”

Theard Herbert sigh. He rarely sighed, and I also understood his mood at the moment. Herbert was a person who attached great importance to relationships, although Caroline had done a lot of terrible things. But after all, they used to have feelings for each other. And she was about to die. But I didn’t have any feelings for Caroline As far as I was concerned, she only did things that hurt me and my child.

I couldn’t be kind to her.

“I’m just telling you what she wants. I know you don’t want to go, so I won’t force you,” Herbert said.

Looking up at Herbert’s face with a complicated expression, I knew that he showed the most genuine feelings in front of me. Although his thoughts made me feel a little uncomfortable, he didn’t hide them from me. Instead, he was honest with me. The next moment, I held his hand and said softly, “If you want to go, hurry up. If you can’t make it… you will regret it in the future.”

“Okay.” Herbert nodded, then pressed on my shoulder, and turned to leave in a hurry. After Herbert left, I was in a bad mood, so I went downstairs to play with the children. Even after dinner, after Lucky had fallen asleep, my heart was still not at peace. I stood in front of the window and looked at the lights outside, frowning. “Mommy, what are you thinking about?” Suddenly, a small hand tugged at my pants. I lowered my head to take a look, only to see that Lucas was looking at me with a pair of big round I bent down and squatted in front of Lucas. I touched his head and asked with a smile, “Why aren’t you sleeping yet?” “Why hasn’t daddy come back yet?” Lucas asked in a childish voice. “Your daddy has something to attend to. He’ll probably be back very late.” I replied. Lucas nodded and said, “Oh, what is daddy busy with? Can we help him?” Hearing this, I pursed my lips and smiled. “We can’t help daddy with his work. Be a good boy. Go wash up quickly and then go to bed. Do you understand?” “Got it.”

Lucas was very obedient. He nodded and went to the bathroom to wash up. Looking at the back of Lucas, I was very gratified. What Lucas said just now also made my heart a little unsettled. Herbert and I had long become one. No matter what happened in the future, we would face it together. We should also face the matter of Caroline together. I thought about it for a long time and finally decided to take one last look at Caroline. Thinking of this, I immediately took out my mobile phone and dialed Herbert’s cell phone number. After the phone was connected, a deep voice came from the other end of the line. “What’s the matter?”

“I… I want to see her,” I stammered.

Upon hearing these words, the other party was clearly stunned. And then, he said, “I’ll have Connor go pick you up.” “Okay.” I said a word and then hung up the phone. Twenty minutes later, as expected, Connor’s car arrived. At midnight, although the lights in the hospital were bright, it was cold without any vitality.

I walked in the cold corridor, feeling restless in my heart I had made up my mind. I wouldn’t argue with Caroline even if she said something unpleasant before her death Although I was still angry with Caroline because of what happened to Lucas in my heart, she had already suffered retribution. There was nothing sadder than having no relatives before her death. What’s more, she would pass away at such a young age. It was very sad. Connor led me to a ward. He stopped and reached out to knock on the door. Soon, the door was opened from the inside, and then Herbert came out Seeing that Herbert’s face was still serious, I looked inside the door and asked softly, “How is it going?” “I told her that you agreed to see her. She has been holding on to her last breath,” Herbert replied with no expression on his face. Hearing this, I frowned and walked into the ward. As soon as I entered the ward and saw everything in front of me, my scalp couldn’t help but tingle. Lying on the bed was a woman who was so thin that only her bones were left. She was tied with all kinds of medical equipment. Her eyes were empty, her skin was wrinkled, her hair was messy, and her limbs were motionless.

If it weren’t for the medical instruments showing all kinds of data, I would even suspect that she was dead.

Seeing all this, my nose suddenly felt a little sore.

Although Caroline was my enemy, when I saw her suffering in such a way. I no longer wanted to hate her. Instead, I felt a burst of sadness in my heart. “Ah…” Seeing me, Caroline’s eyes lit up and she began to speak with difficulty. “You… came.” It could be seen that she was very happy to see me.

Although I didn’t know what she wanted to do, knew that she couldn’t do anything now, so I took two steps forward.

At this time, Herbert walked past me and came to the hospital bed. He reached out to hold Caroline’s hand and said, “Since Bella is here, just say what you want to say.”

Caroline looked past Herbert and stared at me with all her strength. “L… I’m sorry to both you… and Lucas. Believe me… I didn’t expect that he would… suffer from leukemia. Fortunately, he… has recovered.”

At this point, perhaps she was too tired, so she panted for a while.

Was she confessing to me?

Perhaps it was because she was about to die? She had completely given up on her obsession with Herbert.

She probably wanted to leave the world peacefully, didn’t she? After resting for a moment, Caroline said with difficulty, “I don’t dare to beg for your… forgiveness, but I still have to… apologize to you in person. It doesn’t matter whether you forgive me or not.”
