"Mom, do you feel better today? The doctor will arrange dialysis for you." Belle walked in with a smile on her face. She had already seen the disappointment in her mother's eyes, so she smiled even sweeter!
Kate was still looking behind her.
"Mom, Calvin is busy with some business today, so he won't come to see you, but I will come every day. Look, this is the flower he asked me to give you." Belle explained with smile, and then gave the flowers in her hands to her mother. She put her arms around her mother’s shoulders, acting like a spoiled child.
A smile quickly appeared on Kate's pale face. Now, her daughter was all her hope. As long as her daughter could live happily, even if she died, she had no complaints.
"Mom, take good care of yourself. Strive for the surgery as soon as possible and restore as soon as possible. Then I can take you to M Country for treatment. Then we can live a happy life in the future. I believe that Dad will be also happy when he sees us like this." Belle stared at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, saying with hope.
Kate smiled lovingly and held Belle's hands tightly.
Belle helped Kate put on hospital dress. When she touched her mother's empty trousers, she felt heartbreak and almost burst into tears.
"Mom, did Dad offend anyone before his death? Or did he provoke someone from the underworld?" Belle endured her grief and anger. After thinking about it, she still asked it out. She never dared to mention it in front of her mother. But Lottie's words that day made her want to know the facts. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to ask it.
Kate's eyes were a little cloudy. She seemed to have forgotten everything in the past, including the injuries she suffered. Her eyes were empty and dim. As if she thought of something, there was some light flashing in her eyes, but it dimed quickly.
Belle suddenly felt scared. She shouldn't have asked it. Her mother had completely and deliberately put away all the past in her mind. Because it was too painful. She was unwilling to remember it. Why did she still ask these questions?
Feeling regret, Belle quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, I'm going to cook some soup for you today. After dialysis, you can eat some soup but not much. It's better for your recovering." Belle picked up her mother's hospital dress and threw it into the laundry basket in the room. Then she walked towards the outside of the ward.
There was a kitchen in the suite. She could cook some meals here. When she looked up, she saw Marry coming over with some food.
"Miss Belle, I bought some vegetables today. You and Mr. Harvey can have a meal with your mother here. After the dialysis today, your mother can eat something." Marry smiled and took Belle's hand. "Your mother has gotten better a lot recently, and her spirit has been better recently."
Belle blinked with a smile, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you, but Mr. Harvey won't be here today. He has something to do. There's been a lot of work in the company recently."
"That's it! You chat with your mother. I’m going to cook." Marry was a little surprised that Calvin didn't come today. She already knew their relationship and quickly understood. Then she held Belle's hand and went to the ward.
Kate was still lying on the hospital bed in a daze, her eyes dim and empty.
After a while, the nurse came over and pushed Kate to go for dialysis. Belle was by her side. It would last for a long time. Belle told the nurse to take care of her mother repeatedly and then went back to the ward.
Marry was cooking in the kitchen. Belle stood at the door, pondering.
"Marry, you have been with my parents all the time. Do you know who my dad offended before his death?"
Marry was startled when she heard this. Soon, she understood Belle's intention. She sighed, wiped her tears with her hands, and murmured, "My lady, this matter has passed. Don't bring it up again in front of your mother. She really seems to have completely forgotten about the past. Now she only cares about you. As long as you are happy, she will be at ease. Listen to me, forget about the past. You are still young. You will have a good life."
"No, Marry, my father was murdered. I am his daughter. I can't be so unfilial. I swear to find the murderer, otherwise, how can my father be at peace?" Belle was serious and corrected, "Marry, I won't mention anything in front of my mother in the future, and you can't mention it. But I just want to ask you to see if I can get some clues."
Be murdered? Marry was startled. Her face darkened. She only had endless sadness. How could this be possible? How could a good person like Ethan be murdered?
"That day your parents went to the birthday banquet held by Richard, and they were all fine when they went out, but on the way back home, that terrible car accident happened. In A City, car accidents happen every day. But I just heard from the police that the person who knocked down your father's car was drunk driving. He ran away and couldn't be caught. These unconscionable drivers are really hateful." Marry said while washing the vegetables skillfully.
Belle felt heavy.
"Mr. Hudson, you must get well soon." She sat down, feeling depressed and sad. After coming out of her mother's ward, she went directly to Hudson's ward. This was the second time she came to this ward. She held Hudson's hands and rubbed them gently and slowly. She gently massaged his arm. She had already checked the information on the Internet, so she knew how to do physical therapy for a vegetable.
She hoped he could get better soon.
"Mr. Hudson, I really didn't intend to hurt you back then. That matter really had nothing to do with me. I married into the Harvey family just because I love Calvin, and I didn't have any malicious intent. I really don't know what would happen. If I know it would become like this, even if Grandma ordered the marriage, even if my father forced me and even if I lost my expectation of love or I have to die, I would not agree to marry. Now, I can only apologize to you."
"You must get well soon, otherwise I won't be able to leave A City, Harvey Corp., and Calvin with peace of mind. Don't worry, I am now the vice president. I will do my best to run Harvey Corp. well and complete your wishes. Trust me."
She gently massaged his muscles and kept talking to him. When she first visited him in this ward, she was discovered by Calvin. She was completely humiliated by him. Now she knew the time Calvin came here. So it was certain that she would never be discovered by him again.
"Mr. Hudson, you can recuperate at ease. Calvin is very smart and capable. Now Harvey Corp. is developing very well and has entered the global wealth list. I will come to see you every day in the future. My mother is also receiving treatment in this hospital. As long as I go to see her, I will come to see you and talk to you. Can you hear me? Please, get well soon."
"I moved back to Harvey Mansion. Grandma is very kind to me. I'm very grateful to her. The more she does like this, the more I can't bear to stay. But I have to do something. Because I found something suspicious, including the scene that happened three years ago. I've made up my mind to figure it all out and not let the murder go unpunished."
"But I can't guarantee whether I can let the truth of all this come to the light. Calvin doesn't believe me. This is what saddens me the most. I know that Calvin doesn't love me, but please rest assured. I have been divorced with him. No one can change it. Although Grandma made many excuses to keep me, I know they were just excuses. I won't be so brazen to pester Calvin. When the matter is over, I will leave and not hurt him."
"I'm trying my best to take care of the company. Although I'm with Calvin and he misunderstands me, I just want to make him happy. If he needs me, I'm willing to give everything. But don't worry. After the truth is revealed, if he really loves Lexie, and Lexie loves him, I will not prevent him from marrying Lexie. I won’t be so brazen to hinder his happiness. Mr. Hudson, please rest assured."
...
Belle said, while crying. No one could understand her pain. She was having a hard time. There were so many truths waiting for her to reveal.
She had to be strong! She couldn’t cry.
