Chapter 182 Bella in Danger

Bella stopped a cab and asked the driver to take her to the hospital. Upon arriving at the hospital, she found Lynn waiting by her mother’s bed. The first thing she did was call a nurse and asked her to examine her mother. She wanted to be sure that nothing had happened to her. Once that was okay she pulled the nurse somewhere Lynn could not hear.

“How did this woman get here?”

“She said she’s a relative.”

“Well, she isn’t. From now on you’re not going to allow anyone else apart from me to visit my mother.”

“Understood,” said the nurse.

Bella returned to her mother’s room and put her hand around Lynn’s arm. She didn’t want to start a fight in front of her mother. The doctors had informed her that mother could understand what was going on in the room.

“Come with me,” said Bella.

“Take your hands off me before I start screaming,” said Lynn. “Do you know how much this blouse costs?”

“Stop pretending you’re rich,” said Bella. “We all know why you’re here.”

Bella let go of Lynn only when they arrived at the end of the corridor. She was too angry to play the game according to Lynn’s rules. If it wasn’t enough having to face Charles and Katherine every day, she now had to deal with scum like Lynn.

Lynn rubbed her arm gently when Bella let go of her. Her eyes scanned Bella from top to bottom and a strange smile appeared on her face.

“You seem to be doing quite well,” she said.

“I am certainly doing well. Much better anyway than someone who disgraced her name, got fired from her job, was dumped by her boyfriend, and lost her fortune,” said Bella with a stern look on her face.

“You…”

Lynn wanted to slap Bella but she remembered Katherine’s words before raising her hand. “I’m not here to quarrel,” she said with a considerable effort. It was very hard for Lynn to restrain her anger.

“What do you want?”

“I need some money.”

She had to follow Katherine’s orders or else she would never get her reward. Katherine had promised five million dollars after completion of the task. With this kind of money, she could afford any luxury brand.

“We’ve had our ups and downs in the past but deep down the two of us are like sisters. That’s why I’m now turning to you. I really need your help.”

“I must have skipped the part when we became sisters. When did that happen? Was it when you made those sex photos or when you sent those thugs to wreck my home? Sorry. You’re not going to see a penny from me.”

She looked at Lynn coldly, “From now on you’re not allowed to visit my mother. I have already informed the personnel here in case you ever shop up again.”

Bella made a gesture and two male nurses appeared; ready to escort Lynn off the premises. Lynn had nothing else to do but follow them out of the hospital.

After Lynn was out of the way, a female doctor showed up wearing a surgical mask.

“Are you the daughter of Bess Brook?”

“Yes, I am. Is there anything wrong with my mother?”

The doctor cleared her throat instead of giving a straight reply. “Please, follow me,” she said to Bella.

Bella followed the doctor to her office. As Charles was the owner of this hospital, she had never suspected there would be any foul play. The moment she entered the room, the doctor put her hand in her pocket. She brought out a small vial and used it to spray a mysterious substance into Bella’s face.

In an instant, Bella collapsed unconscious to the floor. A few moments later, Lynn entered the room. She stared at the spectacle of Bella lying on the floor and a wide smile appeared on her face.

The doctor took out her wallet and dug out a bank card, which she handed to Lynn.

“It’s all here.”

“What about the password?”

“Six zeros. Now get out of here before anyone sees you,” said the doctor.

Lynn was worried that there would be no money in the card. To her relief, she found a balance of five million. Lynn was so happy, because not only Katherine had kept her word, but because there was someone else who also hated Bella as deeply and she did.

As for the reason Katherine hated Bella, she was clueless, but who cared?

What mattered most were the five million in her newly acquired bank account.

Charles started calling Bella’s phone at about eight o’ clock. She never turned it off at this time so he began to worry. He asked Roy to find out whether Abraham had returned. The butler came back with the news that Abraham had returned to the Mansion with a one-hour delay due to a flat tire and that Bella was supposed to take a cab back home.

Charles clenched his fists in anger. He was certain that she had gone to meet Nick. He asked to see Abraham right away.

Five minutes later Abraham was standing in front of him. His legs were trembling and he was staring at the floor.

“What did I order you?”

“Lord has ordered me to always keep an eye on my Lady.”

“Can you tell me where is Bella? She was supposed to be here.”

Abraham had to admit he didn’t know where Bella had gone. His words made Charles even more furious. He stretched out his arm and rose it in the air. Immediately, Abraham started to levitate. Then Charles clenched his fist and Abraham began choking as if an invisible hand was squeezing his throat.

“Do you know the punishment that awaits for you?” asked Charles.

Abraham’s eyes-full of tears-were begging for mercy but there would be none. Charles shook his hand and Abraham’s body shot forward like an arrow. He crashed into the wall with a loud thud before he began sliding down to the floor.

However, the impact hadn’t lessened Abraham’s fear about the punishment that was awaiting him down below.

“My Lord, please give me one more chance. Let me search for the Lady. I promise I will bring her back.”

“No chance. You shall return to the Sea Kingdom where you will guard the Tree of Life for the rest of your life. If anything happens to Bella, your suffering will be one thousand times worse.”

That was when Ziv decided to open his mouth. He wasn’t particularly interested in Abraham’s fate. All he wanted was to find the Lady as soon as possible.

“He knows Our Lady’s daily routine. Maybe he can be useful in our search.”

Charles gave Abraham a cold glance. These words had indeed saved the poor driver.

“Abraham shall go with Ziv to every possible place Bella may have gone and Roy shall guard the door to this room. I will try to connect with Bella using my power.”

“My Lord, Aunt Elsa said that you can’t use your sense power unless you have fully recovered.”

“Get out of here!” shouted Charles.

Roy squirmed his lips and withdrew silently from the study.
