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?”
