Chapter 1899
When Love Comes Late
However, Kristian was still unresponsive.
His eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window, seemingly lost in thought.
Unfortunately, Bella couldnât tell what he was thinking.
âKristianâ¦â Bella called out again.
âUm?â It was only then that Kristian came back to his senses.
He turned to Bella only to meet her inquisitive gaze.
His heart pounded erratically.
But he soon regained his composure and forced a smile.
âYes, darling? What did you just say?â
At this time, Bella finally noticed that Kristian looked strange.
She asked, âYou seemed lost in thought.
What were you thinking?â
Kristianâs eyes flickered.
He waved his hand and said dismissively, âOh, itâs nothing.
â
But he soon realized that his denial seemed a bit flat.
Afraid it would arouse Bellaâs suspicions, he quickly added, âI want to give Stella a gift, like a token of gratitude.
After all, she has gone above and beyond to assist your treatment.
She even found an exceptional doctor like Earle.
I feel like she deserves to be appreciated appropriately.
However, we are not that close, so I donât know her preferences.
Thatâs why Iâve been thinking about what gift to give her.
â
Bella smiled in understanding.
She agreed with Kristianâs idea, saying, âThatâs very considerate of you.
But thereâs no rush on that.
â
She paused and repeated her question.
âIs there anyone else particularly close to us that I have forgotte
?â
Because of Earleâs effective treatment, Kristian was already on edge.
Bellaâs sudden question made his nerves tighten.
He asked warily, âWhy do you suddenly ask? Did you remember something?â
Bella was about to answer Kristianâs question when she suddenly realized Kori sounded like a manâs name.
What if he was Kristianâs love rival? She didnât want to risk.
It wouldnât be good if she caused conflict between them.
She thought for a while before she said cautiously.
âWell, Iâm just curious.
I feel like all the people we know in Dorburn are work associates, not friends.
â
Kristian explained, âThatâs because you focus too much on your work and donât socialize.
So, the people you come in contact with are all from your work.
â
Bella nodded, not doubting Kristianâs words.
She remained oblivious to his expression.
âIt seems we need more social interactions from now on.
â
Kristian nodded.
âWhatever you like is fine with me.
â
He pretended to be nonchalant, but his heart raced.
Although Bella didnât say it explicitly, Kristian felt she was gradually regaining her memory.
His heart sank.
He couldnât let the situation progress like this.
Kristianâs expression darkened.
Something suddenly dawned on him.
If necessary, he had no choice but to kill Bella.
Upon arriving at the hospital in Bysea, Fernando spoke with the doctor to get an update on the situation and organized the hospitalization, while Stella headed straight to the ward.
