Chapter 249

Herbert’s POV:

I lost control again. At first, I just wanted to have a good chat with Bella. When I saw that she wanted to escape, I just wanted to take her to a quiet environment. I hoped that she could listen to me. But obviously, she was too agitated. At first, I was trying hard to control my emotions, until she began to mention Klein. Because of jealousy, I was completely angry and lost my mind. Bella’s stab didn’t cause me to regain my senses. I became even crazier, because I knew that Bella’s actions were all because of Klein. I placed my hand on my chest and got into the backseat. “Mr. Wharton, are you okay?” Connor asked in surprise. “It’s okay. It’s just a minor injury,” I said calmly. Connor suggested, “Why don’t I send you to the hospital to deal with your wounds?” “There’s no need. Send me home.” I ordered. Connor remained silent for a moment, and then said, “Mr. Wharton, Miss Stepanek is still angry? Why don’t I explain to her that what happened in the hospital previously was all my fault. Perhaps her hatred for you will lessen a bit.” I waved my hand. “No need.” I knew that doing that would only make things more complicated. Maybe she would only think that I was shirkimg responsibility. In fact, I didn’t deny the mistakes I made in the past. But whenever I thought of Bella and Klein being together, my heart ached.

Connor didn’t continue to persuade me. He started the car engine. Back home, I took off my coat and shirt. “Your wound is extremely deep. I’m going to get the first aid kit to help you deal the wound.” Connor said.

I just nodded. I didn’t have any other emotions. I didn’t even feel any pain when Connor used the medicine to disinfect my wound. Maybe what really hurt was my heart! Ten or so minutes later, Connor finished wrapping up the wound. At this moment, my mind was filled with images of my beloved Bella being together with Klein. When I just learned the news, my idea was, “So what?” I was sure that I was the only one that Bella loved. If she saw Lucas healthy, would she hate me less? Or would she come back to me because of Lucas?

I thought that even if Bella came back to me for the sake of the child, it didn’t matter.

I JUST WANTED HER TO COME BACK.

In fact, I was also very regretful. Why didn’t I control my emotions today? I wanted to punch myself twice.

Why couldn’t I control my emotions when I met her? “Mr. Wharton?” Connor called out to me. “I want some time alone. You should go back!” I said to Connor. “Understood.” Connor replied. After Connor left, I wandered alone in the room, like a ghost. I lit a cigarette, and the smoke lingered around me At this moment, the door opened and an angel ran in. “Dad!” He rushed directly to my side. I quickly put out the cigarette butt between my fingers. Lucas couldn’t stand the smell of cigarettes because he had just been discharged from the hospital.

“You’re smoking again. Don’t go back on your words,” saidLucas. I touched his head and said kindly, “I just took a small sip.” “Then I won’t argue with you anymore.” Lucas’s eyes flashed and he said in a childish voice. The next moment, Lucas saw my chest and asked nervously, “Dad, how did you get hurt?”

“It’s okay. I met a crazy woman outside today.” I didn’t want her to know that Bella had stabbed me. “The crazy woman hurt you? Why didn’t you call the police?” Lucas winked at me. “Because I also did something wrong. I provoked her first. As for the specifics, I may not be able to tell you for the time being,” I said. Lucas nodded and said, “Okay, I got it.” The next moment, Lucas pushed my leg and asked, “Daddy, didn’t you say that you were going to bring mom back today?” Hearing this, Herbert’s face froze. He stroked his son’s head and coaxed, “Mom needs to take care of your little sister. She will come to see you in a few days.” “Mom is so partial. She always takes care of little sister and doesn’t come to see me.” Speaking of this, Lucas pouted. Hearing this, Herbert touched his son’s head and said, “Little sister is still young and needs to be taken care of by your mother. You’re already a man. You can take care of yourself. Of course, I can also take care of you, right?” “Yes, I’m a man!” Lucas bent his arms and made a strong gesture. “Good boy!” I couldn’t help but laugh when I saw Lucas was so sensible, but I was still a little sad. Because Lucas had asked me why he didn’t have a mother since he was able to talk. I told him that his mother was taking care of her little sister and would come back in a while. He believed in my words and had been waiting for her In particular, when he was sick in the hospital, he kept asking me about his mother’s situation. I told him a lot of things about his mother, and Lucas remembered all the related information in his mind. Originally, I promised that his mother would come back when he was discharged from the hospital. Chapter 249 But I broke my promise and didn’t bring his mother back. Bella’s POV: Lucky was very noisy that night.

She refused to eat obediently and even threw her toys. I was already in a bad mood, so I couldn’t help shouting at her. She cried with grievance. I also felt very uncomfortable when I saw Lucky sobbing pitifully. I hugged her and cried. When I was most upset, a pair of small hands wiped my tears. Lucky was an angel. I shouted at her just now. I was a little regretful. So I hugged her even more tightly. After that, Lucky stopped being upset and ate obediently. In the evening, she went to bed before nine o’clock.
