“One day, the doctor said that the hospital recently introduced a new treatment for stomach cancer from abroad, but it is more expensive. Bella heard that it can save her mother’s life, immediately was willing to accept the treatment. She ran home to ask her father for money, but Wilson then felt distressed about spending a lot of money on Selina after the government criticized him. As soon as he heard that the operation needed 100, 000 dollars, he even beat Bella and warned to break her legs if she dared to shout outside. Bella cried sadly and came to me. But what I could do? I was also driven into an impasse. At that time, Richard appeared. He may have heard about Bella’s experience, and he said, “I can give you 100, 000 dollars if you marry my silly son.”
“Bella was only just thirteen years old and had no correct understanding of marrying. But she wanted to save her mother. So without even thinking about it, she agreed, so Richard signed a contract with us. He gave Bella one hundred thousand dollars and asked her to come to his home after the New Year to be a child bride. Selina was able to have an operation, and the operation was successful. Selina’s condition was well under control. But another tragic thing happened…”
“It was a stormy and thunder night, the maid of the Burne-Brown’s came to the hospital to inform her that her father wanted to talk to her. Bella glanced at her mother, who was still unconscious with a respirator in the intensive care unit, and followed the maid back to the Burne-Brown’s, but she never expected that as soon as she arrived home, she was tricked by the maid into locking the utility room. She cried out desperately to smash the door, but there was no one opened the door for her. The utility room was very dark. Bella seemed to foresee that something bad would happen, hysterically crying. And then her miserable cries aroused the sympathy of an old maid, the old ma, who risked being fired to open the door for her. She ran frantically in the heavy rain towards the hospital, but it was still too late. Wilson was afraid that my sister would continue to implicate him. He and his wife bribed the nurse on duty to dial off my sister’s respiratory, causing her to die unexpectedly from breathing problems.”
“How are you sure that it was Wilson who dialed off your sister’s respirator?”
Alvin spoke.
“Bella saw them, when she arrived at the hospital, Wilson and Colin were panicking out of the hospital, then quickly got into the car and left. When Bella rushed into the hospital room, my sister’s heartbeat had already stopped. They lured Bella away to harm my sister. That day was the most painful day of our Bella’s life, and on that day Bella was determined to take revenge.”
“She started to want to avenge her mother’s death, but she was too young to have that ability at that time after all, so she decided to wait until the day she was able to make Wilson pay a terrible price. Richard later found her and asked her to go home with him, but she refused, with her young age as the reason. Richard was very angry and forced her to take her away, but she tried to commit suicide. Richard was shocked and worried that if she really died, he would end up losing more than he could afford. He had no choice but to agree, but made her promise to marry his son right away at the age of eighteen.”
“In the blink of an eye, Bella was eighteen years old, growing up in a hellish environment for more than ten years. She suffered what others would never suffer in several lifetimes, and every time she was about to fail to hold on, she would ask herself how her mother died. Every time she wanted to cry, she told herself that it was useless. Richard once again found Bella, wanted her to fulfill the promise. Bella once again refused. This time she frankly told him she wanted to get revenge. She would not marry until she let Wilson be duly punished. Richard as rich, but did not have the ability to take down Wilson for her. After a long argument, he asked Bella how long he would wait. Bella told him that the time couldn’t be determined, but sooner or later she will marry his son.”
“After she said this, Richard let her go, and hasn’t come to her for a few years. Just when Bella had almost forgotten about him, he showed up again not long ago… “Armand paused, “You all know what happened afterwards.”
It took several hours for Armand to finally confess all of Bella’s past, and after that, everyone felt extremely grave, especially Kevin, who was heartbroken.
He looked at Bella, but was surprised to find that her tightly closed eyes had been filled with tears. It turned out that she had already woken up, and hearing her uncle talk about her past like a nightmare all over again. She was heartbroken…
“You all go out.”
Kevin said. After Alvin and Armand left, he suddenly leaned over and kissed the corners of Bella’s eyes, kissed all the tears there, pasted her ear and said, “From now on, the place with me is your home. From now on, the people in my family are your family. Your business is my business, and your revenge will also be my revenge! “
