Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 69

Bella‘s POV. I thought for a long time and said, “But I still need to contact them directly? If they can‘t see

me all the time They must be worried and suspicious!”

Herbert looked down at the watch on his wrist, and then said, ‘Okay, but it‘s a little late today. You can

call your family and friends tomorrow morning, but you must have Miranda by your side. Bella, dont have

any other thoughts, or they will all live a miserable life! I know he could definitely do it. I didnt dare to

imagine his cruel means. It was a very simple method. If he found someone to threaten my mother and

sister, they would definitely not be able to take it.

As for Joey, if he fired her, her life would be in trouble

Even if I told them my current situation, they couldnt help me and it would only get them into trouble

I looked around at the luxurious house in front of me and instantly changed my mind.

Wasnt it just living here for a few months? The environment here was good and someone would took

care of me. The air in the mountain was also very beneficial to pregnant women. It was better to live here

for a few months first. Everything could be decided after giving birth.

The next second, I yelled, “I‘m hungry!” I still felt helpless and depressed, but I had no way to resist. I

could only choose to compromise temporarily. Herbert turned around and shouted to the door, “Miranda,

Mrs. Wharton is hungry. Bring dinner here!”

“Coming! Coming!” Miranda‘s voice came from outside the door. The two dishes Miranda brought were

my favorite. The taste of hunger was too uncomfortable, and it was even worse to be hungry with

pregnancy. After a few mouthful of food, the feeling of hunger dissipated a lot, and I had the strength to

continue to fight against Herbert. At this time, Miranda said, “Mr. Wharton, it‘s not easy to go down the

mountain road at night. Why dont you stay for one night before you go? I‘ll help you prepare clothes and

bedding.”

Herbert stood still and said nothing. I immediately raised my head and said, “If you want to stay you’d

better stay next door. If I don‘t sleep well, it will directly affect your child!” It‘s impossible for me to sleep

with a man who deliberately imprisoned me and threatened me. Herbert said, ‘I have a date tonight. I

need to go back immediately.”

A date? With Caroline?

I was even angrier, but I didn‘t dare to question Herbert. I could only continue to have dinner without

saying a word. The next moment, he growled, Tll come here once a month in the future to see if you‘ve

grown fat. If you lose weight, I‘ll make your sister Betty is unable to go to college!”

18.461 This man was really bad. I was the one who had been imprisoned and the one that lost my

freedom. How dare he shout at me! I raised my head and stared at Herbert with resentment.

Not only was he mean, but he was also despicable. He used my family to force me to obey him. Herbert

turned and left. Miranda ran out to see him off. After they left, I chewed the rice in my mouth and patted a

soft pillow with my hand, cursing, “Herbert, you bastard! Bastard...” After sending off Herbert, Miranda

came up and said to me, “Mrs. Wharton, why... why did you do this? Mr. Wharton...” “Don‘t mention him

to me in the future.” I stopped her. Miranda shook her head and left. From this day on, I began to try to

live here peacefully. Every morning, I would ask Miranda to accompany me to the nearby woods. I would

take a walk by the stream and breathe the fresh air in the mountain.

At noon, o laid on a deck chair on the terrace and basked in the sun.

In the evening, I sat in front of the floating window and watched the stars. When I was free, I would take

out my own book to study. Ever since I got entangled with Herbert, my wish to be a certified accountant

had been postponed. Now there was a chance for me to study, and no one would disturb me. Soon, I

was almost five months pregnant. It was almost time for the pregnancy check–up. I still had another

hope. Maybe I could meet my mom and Betty when I went home for the pregnancy check–up. However,

this thought would be shattered one day in the future. That afternoon, I was sitting on the balcony

basking in the sun. Suddenly, the gate of the garden opened and a black Bentley drove into the garden.

That was the car of Herbert. He probably came here to check on my weight. Today was just a month

away from the last hunger strike. However, another ambulance from the hospital also drove into the

garden. I was very confused. Why did he bring an ambulance here? Then, I saw Herbert come down

from the Bentley, followed by Connor. Then the door of the ambulance opened, and two female doctors

in white coat and two nurses with medical equipment walked out.

Just when I was full of doubts, Miranda opened the door. “Mrs. Wharton, Mr. Wharton has invited doctors

from the hospital to give you a checkup.” After Miranda reported, the doctors and nurses behind him

came in with medical equipment. Only at this moment did I understand. Herbert‘s attitude was even

tougher than a stone. Before the delivery, it was impossible for me to leave this villa. He could even call a

doctor and a nurse for the birth examination.

I didn‘t resist the examination and obediently cooperated with the doctors and nurses to complete the

obstetric examination.

Because I knew that futile resistance was useless. Herbert was not an easy person to deal with. If my

attitude was tough, he would only be more overbearing.

Of course, I wouldn‘t give in. How could I please him like a puppy? I might as well die.

After the inspection, I heard a steady sound of footsteps. Without looking, I knew that the footsteps

belonged to Herbert.

He walked in and asked the doctor, “How‘s the examination?”

“Everything is normal.” the female doctor replied.

Herbert asked again, “How‘s her weight?”

The doctor looked down at the last test report and replied, “Two kilograms more than last month.”

Only then did I realize that the female doctor who was examining me today was the one that examined

me at the hospital last time.

At this moment, I couldn‘t help but sigh. It turned out that with money, comes a lot of privileges. The

hospital could even be moved to our home. He could ask for any doctor he wanted.
