Chapter 85
Herbert‘s POV:
Bella left.
When she left, she was confident and free. Looking at Bella‘s back, I couldn‘t help admiring her. This
woman gave me a different feeling as soon as she appeared in my life. She looked tough on the outside,
but her heart was soft on the inside. She was straightforward and not hypocritical. She was very
stubborn when she encountered setbacks. She was different from the women I used to date. “Herbert,
you will need someone to take care of you in the future. Why don‘t I move in to take care of you?”
Caroline turned around and sat beside me. I didn‘t look at Caroline and said directly, “If you think that
house is too small, I can rent a bigger house to you.” “Herbert, that‘s not what I meant.” Caroline was
eager to explain. “I‘m used to living alone.” I replied. I really didn‘t love Caroline anymore, so it was
impossible for me to allow her to move in and live with me.
Caroline then said, “Herbert, I don‘t mean anything else. I also know my physical condition. I just want to
see you every day. I‘m happy only when you‘re happy.” “Really?” I raised my head and stared into her
eyes. Was her intention really that pure? I didn‘t believe
Recalling what she had just said to Bella, I was still very angry. If it weren‘t for her physical condition, I

her touch, so I retracted my hand, got up, and walked to the French window. “I want to stay alone for a
while. You go back first.” I said with my back facing her. Caroline seemed to be a little hurt. She walked
behind me, stretched out her arms, and hugged my waist. She said in a crying voice, “Herbert, don‘t you
remember the days when we were together? At that time, we were so happy. I was the only one in your
eyes, and you were the only one in my eyes, We were the only one for each other!” I was a little
helpless, but I was a little moved. We did have a very beautiful past. But everything was in the past. I
said, “It‘s all in the past.” “We can start over again!” Caroline turned around and walked in front of me,
looking straight into my eyes. “From the time you made the choice, we could never love each other
again, let alone now!” I frowned and said.
Tears welled up in her eyes. She grabbed my hand eagerly and explained, “Herbert, I knew I was wrong,
but I had no choice. I really had no choice. I couldn‘t watch my father and not save him. Chapter 15

You‘re also a child. I hope you can understand my mood at that time.” “Sorry, I can‘t understand.” I said
with a cold face. Caroline begged, “Herbert, I don‘t need to be your wife. I don‘t want anything. I just want
to stay with you...”
“Don’t you want anything from me? In fact, you want everything. You disappoint me.” After that, I was
about to leave. “Herbert...” Caroline fell on the carpet. I turned to look at her and saw that she was
suffering from an asthma attack. I immediately bent down to pick her up and asked anxiously, “Where‘s
the medicine? Where‘s your medicine?” “It‘s... in my... bag,” Caroline said with difficulty. I immediately
took out the medicine from my bag and sprayed it on Caroline‘s nose a few times. Her condition
gradually improved. At this time, Miranda heard the noise and quickly ran out. “Miss Ewell has asthma?”
Miranda asked in surprise. “Get me a glass of water.” I didn‘t answer her. “Okay.” Miranda hurried to get
some water. Caroline laid in my arms and said sadly, “I know I‘m sick. I can‘t get married or have a baby
in the future. Maybe I am a little harsh on Bella. Maybe I can‘t control my jealousy of her. Herbert, don‘t
blame me!”
I couldn‘t bear to see Caroline suffering. My tone softened a lot. “Don‘t think too much. The treatment
plan from Europe has been sent to me. I will send you to Europe as soon as possible.” “No! I don‘t want
to go. I don‘t want to leave you.” Caroline grabbed my collar and said. “I will go with you.” After all, I
couldn‘t be cruel. Although I no longer loved her, I didn‘t want to see her die.
This kind of care had nothing to do with love. I just treated her like a friend. “Really?” Caroline‘s eyes lit
up. “I am a man of my words.” I nodded. At this time, Miranda came with a cup of water. I took the cup
and handed it to her. She took the cup obediently and drank half a glass of water. After a while, I
instructed Miranda, “Miranda, you don‘t have to leave. I‘ll send a car to send you and Caroline to her
residence. You can take care of her for the time being.”
Bella‘s POV:
I didn‘t have a place to go. I wandered around the street and finally returned to my mother‘s house with
the suitcase. As soon as I entered the door, I found Ryan sitting on the sofa leisurely eating dessert at
his mother‘s house.

“Why are you here?” I asked Ryan. “.... I came to see your mother and Betty.” Ryan immediately put
down the dessert in his hand. “Humph, I don‘t believe you‘re so kind! My mom and Betty don‘t need your
care. Leave now!” |

pointed to the door and shouted.
“... I‘m your father after all. How can you talk to me like that?” Ryan said without any confidence. “How
dare you call me my father! What a joke! My father died 15 years ago!” I roared. At this moment, my
mother heard the sound of quarrel and ran out from the kitchen. Seeing that I was back, she quickly
asked, “Bella, why are you back?” “Mom, didn‘t I tell you not to let him come? Why did you let him in
again?” I asked angrily. Mom saw the suitcase behind me and asked, “Why did you come back with the
suitcase? Did you quarrel with Herbert?”
Hearing this, Ryan also asked anxiously, “How can you quarrel with Herbert? You‘re really ignorant!” I felt
disgusted by Ryan‘s ugly appearance. Then I announced, “Mom, it‘s not a quarrel between us. I just
completed the divorce procedure with him!”
Originally, I didn‘t want to tell my mother so quickly so as not to make her worry about me. But now it
seemed necessary to announce it in public, especially to let Ryan immediately know that I had nothing to
do with Herbert. Only in this way could Ryan completely disappear from my mother‘s house.
