Kevin was horrified at the scene in front of him. He never thought that Bella would use her hands to smash the glass of the car. How much pain should she have to endure to be able to smash such a glass. As he saw now, her hands were dripping with blood.
Because he was too shocked, he stood beside the car door and did not move. Until Bella looked pale from the car, indifferently walked to him. He waked up to the reality and dragged her arm, “Your hand wounded badly. Where are you going? Get in the car and I’ll take you to the hospital to get patched up.”
She turned to look at him with eyes that had never been colder. Even though she was already weak, she shook off his hand.
She refused his belated goodwill.
Under the faint light, Bella walked towards the main entrance of the villa. She looked thin and fragile.
After taking a few steps, she suddenly turned around and asked in a desolate voice, “Are you really okay? Don’t you really matter at all to watch me being molested by them? Don’t you think the woman who was molested was my wife, and even if I don’t love her, I couldn’t let anyone else get their hands on her?”
Kevin did not reply. She laughed to herself. She was already in such a mess. What exactly did she expect this man to say?
She decadently went upstairs, got into the room, and was sitting on the bed. Staring at the ground, she thought she led a messy life. In fact, it could be a little more messy.
Kevin stood in front of Bella’s room door, hesitated for a long time, but still walked in. She had already given the eviction order, “I don’t want to say anything right now, get out.”
He looked at her injured hands, and placed the medicine case in his hands on the floor. But he couldn’t say anything.
He hesitated to say sorry, and finally had to give up, quietly turned out and closed the door for her
After a long time, he heard a hysterical cry, so mournful and miserable, as if the pain accumulated in the bottom of the heart for many years could no longer be restrained….
Kevin through the sliding door’s gap, clearly saw the other side of Bella who removed the disguise. She was no longer the calm but inwardly strong woman, but like a child injured simply to vent out her emotions. Injury was not scary, but what was scary why she always inexplicably injured.
Whether she had an external injury, or an internal injury.
Bella had wanted to cry heartily for a long time, only to endure it every time. Because she was afraid that she wouldn’t be strong enough if she cried every time. Leading a displaced life was pathetic that even crying was a luxury.
Kevin stared unseeingly at her, and was shocked beyond words. If he didn’t truly see it in his eyes, how could he imagine that the woman would also be so sad.
Suddenly, he was heartbroken.
This night was destined to be heavy. Bella cried for a long time, and Kevin also stood outside her door for a long time.
At dawn, she came out of her room, and her hands simply wrapped around gauze, and headed out haggardly.
“Is it hurting any better?”
Kevin’s voice was hoarse with questions, looking at her actually more guiltily.
Bella walked past him, and did not answer his question. She was not an arrogant person, just because the person asking the question always ignored her.
Out of the Cloud Mansion, there was a vast expanse of fog. She turned her head back to take a look at the huge villa surrounded by the dawn fog, and for the first time deeply experienced that the life of the luxurious family was not as awesome as she had imagined.
Her wounded hands, red and swollen eyes, couldn’t be seen by anyone other than Kevin, because everyone cared about her except him.
She didn’t want those who care about her to worry, but those who were indifferent to her were a different story.
She went to the nearby hospital to re-bandage her hand, then took a taxi to her best friend’s house. When she rang the doorbell, Alice was eating breakfast, suddenly saw her, and was shocked, “My god, what’s going on?”
She shook her head weakly, “Nothing.” Then she headed straight for the bedroom.
“You lie. Tell me honestly, did that pervert Kevin abuse you?”
Alice unrelentingly followed behind her again, having to ask what was going on.
“Please take three days off for me. I’ll be staying with you for these three days.”
Bella didn’t want to bring up last night’s incident again, but now just wanted to have a good sleep, then to forget all those unpleasant experiences.
Seeing that she really didn’t want to talk about it, and was very tired, Alice didn’t have the heart to ask any more questions, and turned out to go out and make a cup of hot milk for her, “Drink it before you sleep, even if you are unpleasant, you don’t have to be hard on yourself.”
“Thanks…”
She glanced gratefully at her and took the milk, advising, “Don’t tell anyone I’m here with you.”
“And what am I going to say? Louis will definitely ask.”
Whenever Louis was mentioned, Alice always looked so gloomy.
“Let’s just say that I went on a trip.”
“Actually, you don’t have to aggravate yourself. Louis can help you…”
“Okay, stop it and go to work.”
Bella interrupted her and lay on her side.
Sighing….
Alice stared at her back and sighed for a while before turning around and leaving.
Kevin didn’t come home until 10 p. m. because of not on speaking terms with his father, and when he reached his room upstairs, he cam to the landscape painting and knock on the door behind it, “Can I come in?”
After waiting a long time for no response, he just pushed the door open, but found she was not in the house.
Where had she gone? He frowned and took his phone from his pocket, hesitated for a few seconds, and dialed Bella’s number, “Sorry, the number you dialed is switched off, please dial again later…”
Was her phone off too?
Kevin was a little lost, walked back and forth in the room a few times, and finally decided that it was better to leave her alone. She hated him so much anyway.
Moving into the bathroom to take a shower, standing under the shower, he felt bad, bored, anxious, and uneasy. Thinking about Bella’s cold eyes last night, it was even more disturbing….
Lena was playing a game in her room when the door was knocked, and she shouted without turning around, “Come in.”
Kevin pushed the door in and walked over to her computer desk, feigning casualness and asking, “Where did your sister-in-law go tonight?”
“I don’t know…”
She’s eyes were glued to the computer monitor, and she was typing on keyboard, answered his question casually.
“Who are you kidding? Where the hell did she go?”
He didn’t believe his sister’s words at all. His family cared about Bella so much. If she didn’t come back at this time, Lena must be clear where she was going, or else the home would be in chaos.
“I don’t know….”
He was annoyed, and raised his eyebrows, “Alvin -”
“She went on a trip.”
It worked best. Speaking of her weaknesses, Lena stopped playing the game and looked at her brother.
“A trip?”
Kevin found it unbelievable. She had obviously gone out empty-handed.
“Yes, Bella called back this afternoon and said.”
“Where did she travel?”
“I don’t know.”
“When will she be back?”
“I don’t know.”
“Who did she travel with?”
“I don’t know.”
Kevin pinched her chubby face and said angrily, “Why don’t you know anything at all?”
Lena hated being pinched at her face. She was born with baby fat, and while it didn’t affect her appearance and she was even cute, she just hated it.
“Kevin, you get it right, okay? Bella is your wife, but you don’t even know where your own wife has been. How would I know?!!”
She said angrily with arms akimbo.
The next afternoon, after a night of struggle, Kevin drove to the B Middle School. He parked the car under an acacia tree, sitting in the car, wearing a pair of sunglasses. He firmly stared at the exit of the school gate.
At five o’clock, with a crisp bell playing, students came out. He waited for about ten minutes before he saw a familiar figure, but it wasn’t Bella, but her good friend Alice.
“Alice, please wait.”
Kevin pushed the car door open and walked down, calling out to Alice who was talking on the phone.
Alice turned back around, glanced at the person who had called her, and was quite surprised. She said to the phone, “I’ll call you later.” Then she hurriedly hung up the phone. Being confused, she asked, “Mr. Jones-Sharps, why are you here?”
“That…” He had some difficulty saying, “Didn’t Bella come to school today?”
Alice shrugged and answered frankly, “She is going on a trip. Don’t you know?”
“Where did she travel?”
“Sorry, I don’t know.”
Kevin frowned, and looked straight at her warily, as if he was examining the truth or falsity of her words.
Alice was afraid when being looked by him and said sharply, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave, goodbye.”
“Goodbye.”
He inexplicably nodded, and when Alice turned away, he also got into the car, but instead of driving in the opposite direction, he followed her to the place where she lived.
