Juelz was shocked as he had not expected Dorothy and Germaine to arrive so quickly.
He remembered they had not been here yet when he had gone out for a smoke.
“Dory, you’re here. Don’t worry, Belle will be fine.”
Germaine also comforted her. “Don’t worry, I’m sure Belle will live a longer and happier life than this.”
Dorothy, who was already in a state of panic, shook her head hurriedly, and then quickly nodded once more. Tears filled her eyes as she stared at the red light above the operating room doors in a daze.
The flickering lights were like her heartbeat; it rose and fell as she grew incredibly anxious.
She waited for a long time, and time ticked by slowly, making her worry more and more.
After some time, the doors of the emergency room were finally pushed open from inside. The doctor came out and asked in a serious tone, “Who is the child’s guardian?”
Dorothy came to her senses, walking over and replying in a hoarse voice, “I-I am her mother”
“As a parent, how dare you take care of your child like this? You’ve been too careless. How could you still let her eat cold and greasy food when she suffers from leukemia already?”
She had long told the teachers of the kindergarten to give Belle vegetables and plain porridge. How could she have eaten cold or greasy food?
Dorothy was confused by the doctor’s criticism. After the doctor left, she sent Belle to the ward. She looked at Germaine and asked, “Germaine, did you find anything unusual when you went to school to pick Belle up?”
“No, I didn’t.”
Germaine stared at Belle, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face. She frowned and tried to recall what happened in the afternoon, “When I drove to the kindergarten, Belle’s hair was a little messy, and her face was a little dirty too. Everything else seemed normal, though. Even the teacher’s attitude was normal.”
Belle had such good habits, and she was extremely hygienic. If her hair had been messy and her face dirty, that meant that something must have happened.
Dorothy’s face gradually darkened. She sat next to the unconscious Belle and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, “I’ll ask her when she wakes up.”
No matter how brash Germaine was, she also realized that something was amiss. Her delicate face suddenly scrunched up and she roared, “F*cking b*stards, how dare they bully my beloved Belle. I will go to school and f*ck them all up.”
“Why are you in such a rush?”
Juelz’s eyes were sharp and his hands were nimble. He reached his arm out and pulled Germaine back, who had already turned around and had prepared to walk away. He stared at her and said, “A brain is a good tool. Could you please use it before you try to act rashly?”
“Belle has been bullied, so why do we still have to use our godd*mn brains? Juelz, you’re acting more like a coward as the days pass! I despise you! Let go, why aren’t you letting go?”
“If I was as simple-minded as you, I would have died ten or eight times already.” Juelz pushed Germaine, who really was angry, onto the sofa beside him. He replied, “Six years ago, I was also as brainless as you. In the end, I couldn’t protect my parents, the Sherman family’s business, or Grandpa. I couldn’t avoid being bullied by Credence too. I couldn’t even help but cry when you were bullied at the age of fifteen. I could not do anything else apart from watching helplessly…”
“Now that Belle has been bullied, we indeed should take our revenge, but we have to ask her clearly about what had happened first. Either we take revenge once and for all, or we don’t at all. If we were to choose revenge, then we must strike fear in the other party’s heart and destroy all their hopes of retaliating.”
All his words came from experience that Juelz had cultivated after many tough battles in the world of business.
One had to suffer lots of hardships in order to grow strong.
After listening to Juelz’s words, Germaine grew extremely surprised and shocked, as if she had only met Juelz for the first time. After a brief pause, she could not help but give him a thumbs up, “D*mn, Juelz, you’ve changed. You seem to have become more mature. You speak in such a way too. Wow, not bad, not too bad! You are finally looking like a real man.”
“Of course, don’t you know who I am? I am a man who is about to become Dory’s man, so how can I not be outstanding?”
After that, Juelz winked at Dorothy.
“Say whatever you want, but don’t involve me in this.”
Dorothy glared at Germaine, who was giving her a knowing look, then said helplessly, “Seriously, Belle has been hurt like this twice in school and her body can’t withstand such frequent injuries. I’m going to take her home, and she won’t be going to kindergarten for the time being, I’ll let her stay home for a while first. After the bone marrow surgery is done and she recovers, I’ll send her back to school. What do you guys think?”
“Yeah, that’s a good idea!” Germaine immediately raised her hands to show her agreement and smiled. “Besides, my job in the hospital is only on paper. After I get an employee pass, I can just wander around here all I want. In the future, I will take over the task of taking care of Belle.”
“As for Dory, the most important thing for you now is to try your best to do your job and work as a secretary. That way, you can try to get into a relationship with Juelz, and give me a nephew to play with.”
“You’ve finally learnt to speak normally after coming to the hospital,” Juelz looked at Germaine with satisfaction, smiling brightly.
He loved it when he and Dorothy were all lovey-dovey behind the doors of his office.
Dorothy suddenly felt a headache coming on, “Ahem, can you please stop messing around? You shouldn’t be paying attention to me right now, but to Belle instead.”
At that moment, Belle opened her eyes and saw Dorothy sitting next to her. Her white cheeks were filled with fury, “Mommy, Sandy’s two good friends beat me. They pushed me to the ground. It hurts, my back hurts so much.”
“What happened after that? Did anyone give you something to eat?” Dorothy patted her daughter’s forehead with concern.
Belle sobbed and replied, “I cried and said I was going to tell the teacher about them, so they gave me ice cream and drumsticks, and they told me not to tell the teacher.”
Dorothy remained silent for a while before she asked, “Didn’t I tell you you’re not allowed to eat the food from other people?”
“Mommy, I-I…”
Belle knew that she had done something wrong. She closed her big, watery eyes, not daring to say anything.
Upon seeing the scene, Juelz squeezed forwards and reached his hand out to gently touch Belle’s little head. He asked in a gentle manner, “Do you remember the names of those two children?”
“Yes, I remember it very clearly.”
Belle nodded obediently and told Juelz their names.
Juelz immediately left the ward, calling Belle’s teacher and getting the information from the teacher. He found out that those two children’s families worked for the Fisher Group. His expression immediately fell, and he smiled sinisterly.
Since she had dared hurt his lovely little darling, then he would definitely make that shameless b*tch Rosalie pay the price.
