Bell’s POV:
The company’s management and treatment were considered attractive in this industry. If I found another job, it wouldn’t be better than here. The most important thing was that I had to go through one to three months internship again before I could get a salary that was equivalent to my salary
now.
I had a family and a child to raise, and sometimes I needed to compromise.
I would work harder in the future. Once I had made up my mind, I was ready to throw myself into work with 100% enthusiasm. A week later, Herbert was discharged from the hospital. On the evening of Friday, I appeared in front of the gate of Herbert’s house.
Now, Herbert lived in a single villa, which, of course, was the highest-class villa in the community. Herbert said that he wanted to give both Lucas and Lucky more space, so he changed to living in this villa which had a garden.
The flowers in the villa garden were blooming. With the warm sunset, they looked really beautiful, like a scenery painting.
I touched the leather paper bag in my bag and then reached out to press the doorbell.
Soon, someone came to open the door.
Through the black hollow iron door, I saw the person who opened the door and couldn’t help frowning. Because the person who came to open the door was Miranda. “Mrs. Wharton, you’re here.”
I smiled and said, “Miranda, you can call me Bella in the future.”
Miranda hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile, “Sorry, I called you ‘Mrs. Wharton’ out of habit.”
“I’m here to pick Lucky up,” I said. “Come in. Lucky is playing with toys. Gary went to pick Lucas up from school. He said that he would bring Lucas to buy some stationaties, and they will probably come back after a while.” As soon as Miranda finished speaking, she got out of the way. I nodded and stepped into the garden made of pebbles. I took a closer look at the scenery in the garden.
Living in this kind of environment, it was indeed much better for Lucas and Lucky than to live with me and Joey.
This made me feel a little inferior. Because as a mother, I couldn’t really couldn’t give Lucas and Lucky a better life. I was always self-abashed ever since I was young, but I knew that I had no time to feel that now. I could only climb up desperately, so I was mostly stubborn and strong.
But after experiencing so many ups and downs, I was really a little scared. The ups and downs of my life had flattened the brightness of my past. As soon as I stepped into the villa, Miranda immediately bent down and put a pair of exquisite women’s slippers in front of me.
Looking at the clean and bright floor in front of me, I put on the slippers, and then under the guidance of Miranda, I passed a big Hidden Latch and came to the living room. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
The large living room was covered with antiskid mat. The corners of the living room’s TV cabinet and tea table were inlaid with soft rubber. It could be seen that the owner was very attentive, for he was afraid that the children would get hurt.
There were all kinds of toys in the living room, such as a small slide, a trampoline, all kinds of furry toys, blocks, robots, dolls, and so on. It was like a children’s toy department in a shopping mall.
At this moment, the cute Lucky was wearing a pink princess dress with a cute braid on her head. She was sitting in front of the slide and fiddling with a doll in her arms.
She was so focused on playing that she didn’t see me at all.
Seeing my daughter being taken care of so well. I couldn’t help laughing. Of course, I was also a little disappointed, because with my ability, I couldn’t provide Lucky such a
life.
At this moment, I heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from behind.
I looked back and saw that it was Herbert who came out of the bedroom with a crutch in his hand.
My eyes instinctively fell on his leg that was still wrapped in gauze. Seeing that it was difficult for him to move, I instinctively helped him up.
I didn’t expect Miranda to be faster than me. Miranda quickly ran to Herbert and helped him to the sofa. “Mr. Wharton, why did you get up on your own? Your wound hasn’t healed yet. If it split open, it will be troublesome!”
After Herbert sat on the sofa, I looked at the wound on his leg and walked toward him. I didn’t know what to say.
When Miranda saw this, she hurriedly asked, “Miss Stepanek, do you want coffee or tea?”
“Tea, thank you.” After that, Miranda ran into the kitchen.
Of course, I knew that she wanted to give me and Herbert a chance to talk, but there was no other topic between us except for the children.
Later, I did not forget my purpose of coming here today. I took out an envelope made of leather. When Herbert saw the envelope in my hand, he couldn’t help but frown. I placed the envelope on the coffee table and said, “I went to the hospital and asked about it. They said that the medical expenses after reimbursement for this time are two thousand dollars in total. You know my financial status now, so I can only pay for your medical expenses. I can’t afford anything else!” The doctors Herbert hired, and those examinations he had gone through were all the most expensive ones. At this point, I really thanked the government because the reimbursement had covered a big part of the expenses. Otherwise, I really couldn’t have taken out so much money at a
