"Hudson, you have to believe me, I never meant any harm. I have divorced Calvin, I will never bring shame to your Harvey family again. After some time, I will disappear from your presence forever, please don't worry, please wake up soon, only then can I leave with peace of mind. I admit to walking into Harvey Corp again solely because of my father's death, he was my most beloved father and died tragically, I can’t just watch and ignore it." Belle was filled with sadness and said helplessly, tears flowing down her face.
Three years ago, she woke up senseless and saw Hudson fainted in the room, and then there were all sorts of faces rushing in, and she was completely stunned.
But the day before Hudson fainted, she met him in the garden of the Fragrance Garden, returning from his Tai Chi practice, and was accompanied by two men dressed in black.
Hudson only glanced at her and said indifferently, "Belle, tomorrow after breakfast, come to the study on the third floor."
At that time, Belle was a bit surprised and flustered, after all, ever since she married into the Harvey family, her father-in-law rarely spoke to her, but at this moment, he actually spoke to her, and Belle felt flattered.
She nodded her head in agreement and unintentionally saw the kindness and affection in Hudson's eyes. With just a faint glance, she saw an unprecedented trust in this elder's eyes, and she stood dumbfounded.
The Hudson she remembered never had such a look in his eyes, was this trust in her? It was unlikely.
But that day, she really felt it, seeing in his eyes the kindness and trust.
She never dreamed that when she would go to him the next day, there would be such nasty thing that would send her fleeing straight to America.
So all these years, there would always be a kind of guilt in her heart, a guilt towards Hudson that she wanted to make up for, just so she could live in peace in the future.
After a while, Belle dried her tears, touched her belly, stood up, called Dante and Aydin from the corridor and said to them sincerely, "Dante, Aydin, please take care of this place, I'll double the salary for you. I still have something to do in the next two days, so I can't come over. Let me know if anything happens, but make sure he's safe, don't let people with ulterior motives do him harm."
After staying in Harvey Mansion for so many days, Dante and Aydin had a general understanding of Belle's situation, and also understood her painstaking efforts, they were both touched in their hearts. It seemed that those entertainment media were making up a story, which could not be believed, and they respected Belle from their hearts.
"Don't worry, Miss, we will definitely do our best." The two of them nodded their heads in agreement.
Belle smiled broadly and walked out.
"Belle, where are you? Hurry up and go back to Harvey Mansion." Belle had just walked out of the ward when her mobile phone rang, and when she picked it up, Rosa's anxious voice came from inside.
Belle's heart sank and she asked, "Rosa, what's wrong?"
"Belle, in the past few days I found out that someone is trying to harm grandma, I'm so scared." Rosa's voice had a fearful tremble in it.
"What?" Belle was taken aback and asked, "How did you know?"
"I have been working in Ink Garden, last night I was late to work on a New Year's Banquet project, when I walked out of the office, I unexpectedly found a figure in black walking out of grandma's bedroom, it must be a man. I was startled, and when I was just about to ask a question, he ran away and disappeared." Rosa said fearfully.
Belle asked with worry, "What about Ruth?"
"Ruth wasn't there at the time, neither were any of the other maids, and I only found out later that it was just me and Grandma in the whole building. I had come back to work late contingently, so I guess that person didn't find me in the office." Rosa said with a startled heart.
"Do you know where Ruth has gone? Usually Ruth doesn't even leave Grandma." Belle knew that there were usually very few men in Ink Garden, and choosing this time to go into Grandma's bedroom, there must be a conspiracy, so she asked such a question.
"Just after that man left, Ruth came back, and when I asked Ruth, it turned out that Grandma had asked her to go to Jade Green Garden to deliver something to Evan. Later I told Ruth about the situation, Ruth was very nervous and immediately rushed to see Grandma Sophia, fortunately, Grandma Sophia was asleep and hadn't been hurt in any way." Rosa explained.
Evan? Has he come back?
Belle's mind raced, these two years Evan has been in Africa to invest in a project, it is said to be very successful, so he was so busy that he never came back. Maybe it was approaching New Year, this was why he came back.
Someone had calculated the timing to enter Grandma Sophia's room, but the purpose was unknown. Since it did not hurt Grandma Sophia, it means that it was not to kill her for the time being, so she relaxed and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Rosa, it could be some thief, after all, the New Year is coming, thieves want to get something for the New Year. Don't worry, Grandma will be fine."
"What's wrong with you guys? Do you know who this patient is? That's your boss, even your dean has to respect him, but you all are disrespectful, you haven't even delivered a warmer after a long time." A sharp female voice came from the nurse's station downstairs in the corridor, drowning out the sound of Belle's speech.
Belle's heart tightened, her scalp tingled, and her eyes froze for a moment.
It was Lexie's voice, and even if it turned to dust, she could still recognize this voice.
Why had she come to this hospital? Shouldn't she be in the Maternal and Child Health Centre to keep her baby in her belly save?
"Rosa, take care of yourself, bye." She finished in a low voice and hung up the phone quickly, standing firmly with her hand on the wall.
"I'm sorry, miss, we really don't have this at the hospital, and I don't know where to get it." The nurse said with trepidation.
"How much can a warmer cost, can’t you ask the leader to buy one?" Hanna's bossy voice was heard, "The patient is Mr. Harvey, the boss of this hospital, but you guys can't even do this request, it seems like you don't want to work here anymore."
Hanna sneered, threatening and scolding, scaring that nurse's face turned white.
"Okay, okay, I'll call the director right away." The nurse's voice trembled.
"Hmph, you are really insensible, Miss Johnson, let's go to eat first." Hanna snorted coldly and said respectfully to Lexie.
"You guys take care of Mr. Harvey, we'll come up after the meal." Lexie pompously instructed towards the nurse.
"Okay, okay." The nurse nodded, and a moment later, footsteps were heard, there was a lift bell ringing, and soon the corridor was quiet.
Was he terribly sick?
