Bella laughed at hearing that.
The exasperation flaring in her chest gradually ebbed.
She picked up the cereal and said with a smile, "Then, has Queeny learned about this?"
Katy said animatedly, "Ella was angered to the point that her face turned livid. She surely would tell Queeny about this."
Bella was more pleased when she heard Katy's words.
But then, she thought of Queeny's aloof personality, and her eyes dimmed a bit.
"Will that woman be bothered by something that trivial?"
"Probably not, I guess. If I was not certain that she had feelings for Felix, I would believe she was like a walking dead with no emotions."
At this thought, Bella gave a cold snort.
"So what if she has feelings for Felix?"
"They are not together after all."
"I still stand a chance as long as they're not a couple. Besides, if Felix and Queeny really have no hard feelings as he claimed, why haven't they just got back together?"
"Felix used me to prove that Queeny was not into him anymore."
Thinking about this, Bella's dimmed eyes brightened up again.
She gave a snort of contempt and had a spoonful of cereal.
After taking just one spoonful, she immediately felt satisfied. It tasted like winning.
It was like the best cereal she had ever had.
Bella soon emptied the bowl. She even licked the corner of her mouth and said, "They must have been so mad by now. Let's go and watch. Even though I can't do anything to Queeny, I'd like to annoy her with me being in front of her."
She put down the bowl and got to her feet.
Seeing this, Katy was thrilled.
She grabbed everything Bella needed. To not look inferior to Queeny at any rate, every time Bella went out of her room, even if it was just for a walk in the castle, she would dress herself up as if she was going to a fancy party.
It was no exception for this time, of course.
However, just as Katy picked up a purse for Bella, she suddenly saw Bella's countenance alter, and then she bent down.
Katy was stunned. She scurried over to support Bella.
"Miss Collins, what's wrong?"
Bella's face instantly became chalk-white and pinched. Perspiration quickly beaded on her forehead.
She was mumbling something in a broken voice. Then, all of a sudden, she stretched out her hand, which was shaking in pain, and grabbed Katy by the arm.
Bella's grip was so forceful that Katy felt her hand would be inlaid in her arm.
"My stomach hurts..." Bella uttered with difficulty.
Katy panicked.
"How so? Don't worry. Sit down first."
Katy helped Bella sit in a chair. But then, she saw Bella's face turn from white to red, and the corners of her mouth became purple.
In seconds, Bella felt as if a knife was twirling in her belly. It was like a hand had grabbed her bowels and was trying to pull them out.
She almost fainted because of severe pain. Seeing her in such agony, Katy realized how bad it was.
She said, "Miss Collins, hang in there. I'll call the doctor. Hang in there. The doctor will be here in a minute."
After saying that, Katy dashed out.
Shortly after, the doctor came.
Donald had also been informed of this, so he and other servants hurried over here, too.
When they arrived, Bella had passed out due to the unbearable pain.
At the sight of her face, the doctor instantly showed a grave look. He swiftly began to examine Bella and started the treatment.
