Chapter 189

Herbert’s POV:

At that time, I finally found out where Lucas was at. By the time I sent someone to find him, he was already suffering from a severe case of pneumonia.

After treatment in the hospital for half a month, Lucas’s situation became worse. In the end, Lucas was diagnosed to have leukemia.

I was so angry that I beat Caroline. She kept apologizing and admitting her mistakes. But what was the point? Lucas was still being tortured by sickness. After that, I brought Lucas to find the best doctor. I no longer wanted to see Caroline. Caroline became more and more ill and eventually stayed in the hospital for a long time.

There were a few times when I wanted to find Bella and tell her that Lucas was her child.

However, Lucas’s condition was getting worse and worse. I didn’t want Bella to suffer another blow, so I kept it a secret until now. Until the doctor suggested finding the mother of the child and making her give birth to another child so that the umbilical cord could be used to save Lucas. It was said that the success rate of umbilical cord blood matches between siblings of the same father and mother was 50 percent.

Fifty percent?

Wasn’t it 100%?

In other words, the matching might fail, and Lucas might die!

I’ve found Bella many times and forced her. I knew this method was too mean. Even I found myself despicable. But I really had no choice. The pain of losing a child really drove people crazy. I didn’t want Bella to suffer this pain again. But this might be the only way to save Lucas. So, I could just let Bella hate me! I must persevere. My plan was to wait until Bella got pregnant and gave birth to the child. If the matching was successful, I would tell Bella about Lucas after he was cured.

If it didn’t work…

If it didn’t work, I wouldn’t tell Bella about him.

I didn’t expect Bella to forgive me. My only hope now was that the matching would be successful, and my child could live.

Bella’s POV:

| carried my suitcase to the hospital.

“Mom, how’s Betty?” I saw my haggard mother sitting outside the operating room, with a serious look on her face. “The baby is born. The nanny is in the ward. Betty’s operation is not over yet.” When my mother said this. her voice was trembling.

Hearing this, I touched my chest and breathed a sigh of relief. “It’s good that Betty is fine.” “Thank you, God..” My mother prayed devoutly. I looked up and saw Hank’s gloomy face. I asked directly, “Why did Betty fall down?” “She slipped when she mopped the floor,” Hank replied, These words made me a little angry. “Betty would give birth in half a month. Why did you still let her mop the floor?”

Hank lowered his head. “It’s all my fault. I’ve been busy at school recently. I neglected her.” Hank’s attitude was very sincere. He blamed himself a lot. I stopped blaming him. “You must take good care of them. It’s really painful for a woman to give birth to a baby.”

“I understand.” Hank nodded.

Later, I suddenly saw a cast on my mother’s arm. I asked anxiously, “Mom, what’s wrong with your hand?”

Mom smiled and said, “It’s okay. I just fell down accidentally.” “When did you fall down? Why didn’t you call me?” I complained. I checked my mother’s arm and made sure that there was no big problem. Then I was relieved. “You were too far away from home. I didn’t want you to worry about me,” Mother said. “Be more careful in the future,” I said. At this time, my mother took my hand and said in a somewhat embarrassed way, “Bella, can you take a few days off to take care of your sister? Although Hank has hired a nanny, your sister needs her family to take care of her now. It’s very inconvenient for me to take care of her now…” Hearing this, I quickly said, “Mom, I will take care of her. Don’t worry, I have already applied to work within the city.” “Really? That’s great.” My mother was very happy. At this time, I noticed that Hank was looking at me, and his eyes were a little complicated, I couldn’t help frowning, and Hank immediately looked away.

Another hour passed.

A male doctor in a white coat and a mask came out and said, “Betty’s family can go to the ordinary ward.

Betty is out of danger. The nurse will take her to the ward.” “Thank you, doctor.” I thanked him and hurried to the ward with my mom. Betty gave birth to a lovely daughter. Betty stayed in the hospital for more than a week before she recovered and was discharged from the hospital. The nanny held the baby in her arms, I supported Betty, and Mother and Hank carried things behind US.

We returned from the hospital to Hank’s home.

I placed Betty on the bed in the master bedroom, and the nanny put the child in the baby bed. Then the nanny went to prepare food for Betty. Hank brought two glasses of water in and then left the bedroom.

My mother looked at Betty and said with concern, Betty, my hand is injured. Your sister will take care of you for a few days.” Betty immediately refused. “Mom, Hank hired a nanny for me. Please don’t bother Bella!” My mother continued, “Betty, you have lost a lot of blood and are very weak this time. Hank is very busy with his work, so he might not be able to pay close attention to you…” Before my mother could finish her words, Betty immediately said, “Mom, Hank did not neglect me. He treats me very well and respects me very much. We have a good relationship.” My mother was just worried that Betty would not be taken care of. After all, the nanny still needed to take care of the child.

But Betty’s attitude was a little strange. My mother immediately said, “Bella, did you see that? As long as I talk about Hank, she will speak to me in such a tone.” Betty lowered her head and said nothing. I quickly said on Betty’s behalf, “Mom, don’t be angry. Betty is just like you. She treats someone she loves wholeheartedly. How Ryan treated us in the past brought an impact on our family. Betty didn’t mean it.”
