Chapter 189
Herbert’s POV:
At that time, I finally found out where Lucas was at. By the time I sent someone to find him, he was already suffering from a severe case of pneumonia.
After treatment in the hospital for half a month, Lucas’s situation became worse. In the end, Lucas was diagnosed to have leukemia.
I was so angry that I beat Caroline. She kept apologizing and admitting her mistakes. But what was the point? Lucas was still being tortured by sickness. After that, I brought Lucas to find the best doctor. I no longer wanted to see Caroline. Caroline became more and more ill and eventually stayed in the hospital for a long time.
There were a few times when I wanted to find Bella and tell her that Lucas was her child.
However, Lucas’s condition was getting worse and worse. I didn’t want Bella to suffer another blow,
so I kept it a secret until now. Until the doctor suggested finding the mother of the child and making her give birth to another child so that the umbilical cord could be used to save Lucas. It was said that the success rate of umbilical cord blood matches between siblings of the same father and mother was 50 percent.
Fifty percent?
Wasn’t it 100%?
In other words, the matching might fail, and Lucas might die!
I’ve found Bella many times and forced her. I knew this method was too mean. Even I found myself despicable. But I really had no choice. The pain of losing a child really drove people crazy. I didn’t want Bella to suffer this pain again. But this might be the only way to save Lucas. So, I could just let Bella hate me! I must persevere. My plan was to wait until Bella got pregnant and gave birth to the child. If the matching was successful, I would tell Bella about Lucas after he was cured.
If it didn’t work…
If it didn’t work, I wouldn’t tell Bella about him.
I didn’t expect Bella to forgive me. My only hope now was that the matching would be successful, and my child could live.
Hearing this, I touched my chest and breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that Betty is fine.” “Thank you, God..” My mother prayed devoutly. I looked up and saw Hank’s gloomy face. I asked directly, “Why did Betty fall down?” “She slipped when she mopped the floor,” Hank replied, These words made me a little angry. “Betty would give birth in half a month. Why did you still let her mop the floor?”
Hank lowered his head. “It’s all my fault. I’ve been busy at school recently. I neglected her.” Hank’s attitude was very sincere. He blamed himself a lot. I stopped blaming him. “You must take good care of them. It’s really painful for a woman to give birth to a baby.”
Later, I suddenly saw a cast on my mother’s arm. I asked anxiously, “Mom, what’s wrong with your hand?”
Mom smiled and said, “It’s okay. I just fell down accidentally.” “When did you fall down? Why didn’t you call me?” I complained. I checked my mother’s arm and made sure that there was no big problem. Then I was relieved. “You were too far away from home. I didn’t want you to worry about me,” Mother said. “Be more careful in the future,” I said. At this time, my mother took my hand and said in a somewhat embarrassed way, “Bella, can you take a few days off to take care of your sister? Although Hank has hired a nanny, your sister needs her family to take care of her now. It’s very inconvenient for me to take care of her now…” Hearing this, I quickly said, “Mom, I will take care of her. Don’t worry, I have already applied to work within the city.” “Really? That’s great.” My mother was very happy. At this time, I noticed that Hank was looking at me, and his eyes were a little complicated, I couldn’t help frowning, and Hank immediately looked away.
