Chapter 78

Herbert‘s POV Bella was very agitated when she learned that our child was dead.

I had called a doctor. The doctor injected sedatives into Bella‘s body to calm her down. Soon, she fell asleep. The ward was very quiet at night, and everything outside could be heard clearly.

When I learned that our child was dead, I was also very sad and broke down. After all, it was the first child of Bella and I. I have a lot of expectations for this child. I also imagined the happy life of the three of us. But now, everything was destroyed. I sat by Bella‘s bedside and looked at her, who was completely asleep. My mood was very complicated I clearly knew that I love her. Seeing her so uncomfortable, I felt sorry for her. But I love her so much but the man in her heart doesn‘t seem to be me. When she was at her most uncomfortable state, she only remembered Hank. I was clearly her husband, and I was the father of the child, but she had asked someone to call a stranger here! Was Hank better than me? Why did Bella care about him and not me? At this moment, I clearly knew that the man in Bella‘s heart was Hank, but I was still worried about her. This was not like me!I should be free and easy. Since she didn‘t care about me, I should give up on her. After all, losing me was her loss.” But I couldn‘t do it! I had no way to leave Bella, even if she didn‘t care about me! “Miranda, go back and rest.” I said.

“Mr. Wharton, you need to rest.” Miranda said.

“You can replace me tomorrow morning.” After I finished my words, I lowered my head.

I didn‘t want to leave until I saw Bella completely safe.

Miranda took her things and left the ward.

I reached out to hold Bella‘s hand, and the beautiful memories between us surfaced in my mind. And she used to care about the relationship between Caroline and I very much. Perhaps, at that time, she had me in her heart? I looked at her and asked, “Why did we become like this?” I spent the whole night with Bella. Until the next morning, the doctor said that Bella‘s situation had eased. I informed Bella‘s mother and sister, and then left the hospital after giving some instructions to Scanned with CamScanner 19021 Miranda Bella‘s POV:

With the company of my family, I was in a better state. At least I wouldn‘t be excited anymore. But I was still in a bad mood. I didn‘t want to talk. I stayed in the hospital for seven days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day I was discharged from the hospital.

Miranda was packing the things. Joey peeled an apple for me to eat. “Thank you.” I was eating an apple numbly. Joey asked, “Why isn‘t Herbert picking you up from the hospital?” “Maybe he‘s very busy.” I smiled helplessly. “No matter how busy he is, you should have time to pick him up. You stayed in the hospital because you gave birth to a baby for him.” Joey said discontentedly. I didn‘t answer. Instead, I turned to Miranda and said, “Miranda, you can take a taxi and leave. Joey will send me back.” “Then I‘ll leave it to you, Miss Joey.” Miranda smiled at Joey and left with her things. “This Herbert is too inhuman, isn‘t he? You‘re still his wife!” As soon as Miranda left, the dissatisfaction in Joey‘s voice became even more obvious. “Don‘t say that. I don‘t want my mother to come here today because I don‘t want her to worry about me. I‘m with Herbert just because of this child. Now that the child is gone, I have nothing to do with him.” My tone was calm, but the emotions in my heart were very complicated. Yes, our only involvement was gone. He would soon propose a divorce, right? Caroline was still waiting for him.

Joey comforted me. “You don‘t have to think about anything now. The most important thing is to take good care of your body. Your health is the most important thing.” “I understand.” I nodded.

Joey helped me out of the ward. When I was about to leave the hospital, Joey wrapped a thick scarf around my neck and straightened my coat before letting me out. Out of the gate of the hospital, a young woman in white fur came over. I wanted to ignore that woman, so I grabbed Joey‘s hand and was about to leave. But the other party refused to let me go and blocked my way. “Mrs. Wharton, you don‘t recognize me?” The other party was all smiles, like a beautiful flower. I said, “How can I not remember my husband‘s ex–girlfriend clearly?” She must have known that my child was dead, so she came here on purpose today? This was definitely not a coincidence. “I need to correct it. Herbert and I are still in a relationship, he had never stopped loving me.” Caroline raised her chin, her eyes full of confidence, and of course full of provocation. Although I‘ve been lying here for seven days, and I knew that it‘ was impossible for Herbert and I to continue, but Caroline‘s words still hurt my heart “I‘m not interested in what‘s going on between the two of you. However, I need to remind you that Scanned with CamScanner 19020 right now, I‘m still Mrs. Wharton!” What I meant was very obvious. Their relationship could only be regarded as an extramarital affair. Since I had not divorced him, she was the third party. Caroline continued to stop me and said sarcastically, “Because your child has just died, he can‘t bear to abandon you immediately. Do you really think that he has feelings for you? What a joke. You should propose a divorce, so that you can avoid embarrassing yourself!” Normally, I would have definitely quarreled with her, and I would never show my weakness. But I just went through an operation and the pain of losing a child. I was still very weak. I didn‘t have the strength to argue with her. Joey stepped forward and pushed Caroline on the shoulder. “Are you Caroline?” “Who are you?” Caroline sized Joey up. “Who am I? I‘m your grandma!” Joey reached out and slapped her in the face. “Why did you hit me?” Caroline questioned as she covered her face?

“Why? Because you‘re the mistress? How dare you seduce someone‘s husband? This world is getting more and more outrageous. How can a mistress be so arrogant!” Joey‘s voice was so loud that people who came in and out looked at her. I stood aside and said nothing. I was grateful to Joey in my heart.

Caroline argued, “I‘m not a mistress! Herbert and I met and loved each other first. She wasn‘t even there when we were in love!” Joey sneered and said, “According to you, can all the ex–girlfriends in the world destroy a married family?” “You...” Caroline could not say a word. Then, Joey walked with her hands on her waist and shouted, “Everyone, come and have a look. This is the most shameless b*tch in k City, who seduced my friend‘s husband and ruined her family. My friend was discharged after giving birth to the baby, and she came here to block our way and started cursing here! She has gone too far!” In that moment, many people gathered around, and most of them looked at Caroline with contempt. Caroline turned around and was about to leave.

My gloomy mood eased a little. At this time, two men in black coats walked up the stairs.

Herbert, why was he here? During the seven days I was hospitalized, he came here when I woke up once. I haven‘t seen him since then.

I didn‘t expect him to pick me up from the hospital today. He was still very cold, especially when he wore a black fur coat, which made him look more noble and indifferent in the crowd.

Caroline immediately threw herself into his arms, which stung my eyes. I turned my head and didn‘t look at them. I only heard her aggrieved voice. “Herbert, you‘re finally here I was beaten by them!” Oh, her acting was really good.

Scanned with CamScanner 19.03 I still didn‘t look at them. I continued to listen to them, and then I heard Herbert say, “What are you doing here?” “... I heard that Bella was discharged from the hospital today, so I came to see her. Who knew...

that they would hit me.” By the time she said this, Caroline had already cried. She sounded very aggrieved and distressed.

This woman! It was obvious that she was the one who caused me trouble first, but now she said something like that to Herbert.

I didn‘t explain immediately. I just looked at Herbert. I really wanted to know what he would do!
