Bride of Mr.Billion

Chapter 257

Bella’s POV: I thought back to the past and nodded. I remembered that he did say that he would give me a big gift that day. Could this gift be... Lucas? Herbert nodded. “Yes, I just wanted to get the marriage certificate and then tell you about it. I didn‘t expect that there would be another accident. At this moment, I couldn‘t help sneering. “What accident? You didn‘t go with me to get the marriage certificate. Instead, you chose to hold a press conference with Caroline to announce your marriage. Herbert, how long do you plan to lie? Didn‘t you tell me that the person you loved was Caroline...” “It‘s because Caroline kidnapped Lucas.” Herbert interrupted me. Hearing this, I looked at Herbert in shock ‘I finished the meeting that day and was going to look for you, but I received a phone call from Caroline, saying that Lucas was in her hands!” said Herbert. Looking at the painful look in Herbert‘s eyes, I opened my mouth. Although I doubted his words, still wanted to continue to listen. “Lucas is my son. I have to save him. I can only do as she said. I held a press conference and announced our marriage in public.” Herbert continued. After hearing his words, I hesitated for a moment.

In the end, I still felt that the story was too ridiculous.

“Herbert, your ability to make up stories is getting stronger. Do you think you can convince me with just a few words? I know your power in the city. Even if you were threatened by Caroline because of the safety Lucas, what about the future? You should have had a lot of opportunities to explain it to me and clarify it to me in the future, but what did you do? What did you do except hurt me endlessly?” After shouting the last sentence at Herbert, I suddenly got up, turned around, and walked in the direction of the door. I couldn‘t stay here any longer. I couldn‘t stay here for a minute. The atmosphere here was suffocating. I didn‘t want to listen to his nonsense anymore! Seeing that I was about to leave, Herbert got up and grabbed my shoulder. He said eagerly, “Bella, let me finish what I want to say, okay?” I struggled to say, “I don’t want

to hear your nonsense. What you said is not true!” Those painful memories were like blades cutting open my heart, which was about to heal. “I know that I hurt you deeply. It‘s all my fault. If you hate me, you can hit me, scold me, or even stab me with a knife. I beg you to listen to what I say. Please?” This was the first time that he had used the word ‘please‘ in his life.

He had never used this word on anyone.

“Herbert, I beg you, please let me live a quiet life, okay? Don‘t bother me anymore! Don‘t make up these ridiculous excuses. I‘m really tired. I don‘t want to have anything to do with you anymore.” When I said this, my face was full of tears.

I shouldn‘t have cried in front of him. This was not only a sign of weakness, but it would also make him think that I still cared about him. But I just couldn‘t control it. Thinking of those suffering years ago, my tears couldn’t stop flowing down. “I only hope that you can let me tell the truth. I only hope that you won‘t miss the mother–and–son relationship between you and Lucas. I promise that after I finish my words, I will respect your choice, and I won‘t bother you in the future!” Herbert frowned and stared at me with sincerity in his eyes.

I could care less about Herbert.

But what about Lucas? If he was really my son, would I regret it? Therefore, I glanced at his hand on my shoulder and said, “Okay, I will listen to you, but don‘t touch me again!” Hearing this, Herbert immediately reached out and let go of my shoulder. I immediately turned around and sat back on the sofa, deliberately keeping a distance from him. Then, he turned around and sat back in his previous position. He continued, “Originally, my plan was to find the Lucas, confront Fang Yi, and then explain to you so that the three of us could live a happy life together.” “Did something happen again?” I asked with a sneer. Obviously. I didn‘t believe these so–called reasons at all. Herbert didn‘t pay attention to my reaction and continued to say, “Caroline kept Lucas in a newly renovated house, where there was a large amount of

formaldehyde. Lucas was only one year old and his resistance was too weak, which led him to get acute myeloid leukemia.” Hearing this, I couldn‘t help but feel moved, but I still hid my true feelings. “Do you mean that he has leukemia?” I couldn‘t accept it when I thought of Lucas‘s cute chubby little face. Herbert nodded and said, “I was responsible for the disease, so I could only treat Lucas first. My eagerness to explain to you had eased a lot. After that, the condition of the disease continued to worsen. I didn‘t dare to tell you about the disease. After all, you have lost Lucas once. I know that if tell you the truth, you will definitely not be able to bear it!”

stared at Herbert in surprise and asked, “He‘s now... “Don‘t worry. His disease has been completely cured. That‘s why I took him to you.” Herbert replied. Hearing this, I hesitated for a moment and sneered. “Herbert, do you think I‘m a fool? You said it like tt‘s so easy to cure leukemia!”

I thought that he was obviously lying, and the hateful thing was that he had to make up a story about the health of Lucas...
