Chapter 231
Bella’s POV: A few months had passed, and winter soon arrived. Lucky was already nine months old and she learnt how to call ‘mom’. Although she didn’t know how to speak clearly, I still felt sweet in my heart Every day, when I went to work, I handed Lucky over to Jane and hurried back to feed her milk at noon. After lunch, I coaxed her to sleep and then ran to the company to work. After a few months, I had lost a few pounds, but I was in a good mood. After all, I could live through my own hard work. Although the salary wasn’t very high, it was enough to pay for our living expenses. In addition, after a few months, there was still a sum of money left. Although it wasn’t much, I could still slowly save up to pay back Klein. This month, I also opened an online store, because one of my colleagues working in the company was engaged in the jewelry business. Her jewelry was very beautiful, and the quality was very good, and the stock was sufficient. The price of the goods was low. So I came up with an idea of opening a jewelry store online. I opened the store for a few days, and my business was not bad. I actually sold more than a dozen orders. Although I didn’t earn much money, it was also a profit. I was very happy. Every day, I was in a hurry to go to the courier company to deliver goods after work. This day, I had a bag on my shoulder, five or six packages in my arms, and a stack of courier receipt in my hand. I walked toward the courier company on the opposite side. I had to get these packages out of here as soon as possible and then go home to feed Lucky. I was sure Lucky was already anxious. But suddenly, the traffic light in front of me turned into a red light. I looked up and saw that the red light took 95 seconds. At this moment, it was the peak of traffic, and there was a lot of cars. Although I was anxious, I could only stand there and wait for the red light to turn green… Herbert’s POV: I was sitting in a coffee shop on the street. There was soft music playing in the coffee shop. The coffee shop was very quiet, and there were few people. I looked at a crossing road that was only a few dozen meters away from me. My eyes were fixed on the black figure in the crowd. Her hair floated with the wind and was blown wildly. If it was possible, I really wanted to go forward and help her fix her hair. Originally, I could only look at her because she just passed by here on the way to work. I didn’t expect that I would be so lucky today.
I didn’t expect she would encounter a red light of 95 seconds. I could have to look at her a few more times. She seemed to be thinner than before, but she was in good spirits. Her skin was still white, and she was wearing a black fur coat. It was really cold today.
95 seconds of red light passed quickly, and the red light turned green. I quickly followed the crowd and walked to the opposite side. My eyes followed Bella’s back closely. I was about to put out the cigarette between my fingers and leave. Unexpectedly, Bella might have left in a hurry. She slipped and fell heavily on the road. The parcel and package in her hands were scattered all over the ground. She looked very embarrassed. I immediately stood up, because Bella’s facial expression was a little distorted. She must be in pain. Of course, I wanted to help her up as soon as possible, but she would definitely reject me. I didn’t want to disrupt her life for the time being. The next moment, I saw that there were already kind people helping Bella to stand up. There were also people crossing the road helping her pick up the package courier receipts. Bella thanked those people with a smile on her face. Soon, the green light turned into a red light again. Someone helped Bella cross the road… My nervous mood instantly relaxed a little. Bella must be in pain. The next moment, the cars whizzed past, blocking my line of sight. I could no longer see Bella.
