Chapter 30 Sick
Chapter 30 Sick
There seemed to be a red iron in her throat. Belle opened her mouth, trying to spit out all the burning and uncomfortable words. But she couldn’t, because even if she said, no one would believe her, including those relatives and friends who had known her for many years.
What was the truth?
The words that most people said was truth.
Everyone had got the truth they wanted. Who would care about the fact that it had happened? Belle closed her mouth gradually, and her eyelids closed gently. Her curled long eyelashes trembled for a while, and everything returned to calm. C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Nothing mattered. The truth didn’t matter anymore. It didn’t matter who was right and wrong back then.
She had lost everything. Was it still necessary to justify herself?
Time could change people from inside to outside. It could completely change people. At the time, she was no longer the little princess who was spoiled by the Ye family and the Luo family, nor the first beauty of Gang City that everyone was envious of. Before, she didn’t believe that a person’s soul could be changed. At the time, she did.
Oliver said nothing more. He was a friend of Ethan and the only one who knew Belle’s identity. He learned of the incident five years ago, and he only scorned and belittled Belle .
What was wrong with the vicious people being punished?
After Oliver left, the private room fell silent again. Belle scrambled to pick up the money and met Echo when she went out.
"Belle, how did you become like this?" Echo was startled and almost thought she saw a ghost.
Belle came out holding onto the wall. Her spine bent more clearly, and her hair was messy. There were wounds and dirt all over her body. She nodded to Echo, "Sister Xu, is there any bank near here?"
"There is one. Are you going to save money?" Echo glanced at the banknotes in her hand, and a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes. She tossed herself like this for these money.
However, Belle’s attitude was commendable in Underground City. Everyone here was for money. For money, they could be bitches and toys. The rich were the most honorable. No one could laugh at others.
Belle wanted to save this money, but she suddenly thought that she didn’t have an ID card. She couldn’t apply for a bank card without an ID card. However, she couldn’t be at ease if she put this money in the dormitory. She had to look to Echo for help, “Sister Xu, Can you save these money for me?"
Echo looked at her who seemed to be too weak to speak, irritably took the money over, "Okay, I’ll save this money for you first. You still have to return 10 million yuan to Mr. Mo. Just work harder and try to earn the money early."
"Okay."
——
The staff of Underground City were pretty well paid and had individual private rooms for accommodation. It was very common to see the people of other rooms visit each other on weekdays. Except for a small room in the far corner of the dormitory building, it was never visited by others and had piles of trash outside the door that hadn’t had time to be cleaned up. Belle didn’t like to bother about too much. However, those people intensified to pile up the garbage of the entire dormitory building in front of her room.
That night, Belle had a high fever, and felt cold and hot from time to time. She curled up under the quilt and shivered. Her mouth was very dry. She tried several times and wanted to pour a glass of water to drink. After falling asleep in the middle of the night, she was comatose for a few days with a high fever.
No one came to her dormitory. Even if she died in her dormitory, no one would find it in a while.
It wasn’t until the third day that Echo found that she hadn’t come to work and asked Duo’er in the same dormitory building about her, only to realize that she hadn’t gone out these days. By the time Echo arrived at the dormitory, Belle had passed out. She was almost breathless, and her forehead was so hot. Echo was frightened and hurried to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital.
Before arriving at the hospital, Belle woke up and saw Echo when she opened her eyes, but she was a little confused, "Sister Xu...Xu, why are you here?"
"Do you know that you have been ill for a few days?" Echo’s face was dark, and she complained angrily, "Couldn’t you tell the people around you that you are sick? You have a fever of more than 40 degrees. You still slept in your room. If your brains really boiled, you could only cry and regret it."
Belle gasped tiredly, looked around, and immediately realized where she was going, "Sister Xu, I am not going to the hospital. Please, I can’t go to the hospital..."
She sobered up and didn’t care about the weakness and discomfort of her body. She forced herself to sit up from the bed and asked the driver to stop.
"Lie down!" Echo said in a firm tone, came over and pressed her back hard. "We almost arrive at the hospital. If you don’t receive treatment, you will die tonight. Belle, look, Mr. Mo let you work under my leadership. So you have no right to decide whether you should die or live. If you die and get me into trouble, I will not let you go."
"Sister Xu, I’m really fine."
"The doctor will tell me whether you are fine or not. Lie down obediently. You’d better not to cause me trouble." Echo threatened her sharply. Belle struggled several times to get up, but she shrank back when Echo cast a stern glance at her.
They arrived at the hospital quickly, and Belle was taken to the ward. Echo took the opportunity to call Ethan to report. Soon, Ethan’s cold voice came from there, "What’s the matter?"
"Mr. Mo, Belle is sick."
It was silent over there.
Thinking that he wanted her to continue, Echo continued, "She has a high fever and has been sick in the dormitory for a few days without anyone finding out. I found that she didn’t come to work today." She was afraid that Ethan would put the blame on her, she explained again, "I asked for leave two days ago and didn’t come back until this morning."
After she waited for a long time, Ethan didn’t respond.
Echo was not sure what he meant. She called to report to him. This was what Barry asked her to do before. Anything happened to this woman had to be reported in time. From Echo’s point of view, the relationship between Belle and Ethan was not ordinary. If they were friends, who would push his friend into the fire pit desperately? If they were enemies, there was something unusual about their feuds.
She grabbed her phone tightly and felt uneasy.
"Which hospital?"
"Ah?" She was puzzled.
Ethan repeated, "Which hospital is she in?"
Echo suddenly realized, "Oh, the central hospital. She just went in. Mr. Mo... Are you coming?" It was a little unbelievable for her. Was Mr. Mo coming to the hospital to see Belle ?
Impossible...
This thought shocked her. She thought she had heard it wrong.
Ethan didn’t need to answer her, and immediately hung up. Five minutes later, a tall figure appeared in the inpatient department of the internal medicine on the second floor.
