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%?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA 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.”
