Chapter 383
Kenneth pushed open the bedroom door and went in. Then he saw a faint yellow desk lamp inside still on and a delicate figure curling up in the soft big bed. Arabella was already asleep.
Kenneth went over, stooped, and crouched on one knee by the bed. He then extended his slender fingers to caress her small face.
Her small face was clean and soft, and her skin was as smooth as silk.
He leaned over her, and his thin lips fell on her forehead.
He saw the calls she had made, but he did not answer them, knowing that if he did, he would rush home to her at once.
In front of her, he had no self-control at all.
"Bella, I am really angry today because I don't want you to know about my dark and unbearable past. As your husband, I hope I can always be relied on and looked up to by you."
His low and hoarse voice touched Arabella's delicate skin, and he whispered, "Bella, I know I'm sick. If I cannot be cured, will you leave me?
"You always say that the foundation of marriage is trust, but unfortunately, in my past life, no one taught me what trust is. Everything I wanted always slipped through my fingers like sand, and in the end, there was nothing left. Human beings are the ficklest, and now you are still very young, only 20 years old. In the future, you will meet more wonderful men in your life who may do better than I did. When that day comes, will you still be willing to stay with me, who is sick?"
Arabella, however, was already asleep and could give him no response.
...
The next morning, when Arabella opened her eyes, she did not see Kenneth. She quickly washed up and went to the CMI. Mina was all right, but she had not yet woken up. After checking on Mina, Arabella went to get her blood test report.
The report was out, and she had guessed correctly. Mandala's toxicity was extreme, and the last test had diluted one-third of her precious blood.
