Chapter 289 Argued Again

Bella’s words "believe" dispelled all the gaps that emerged before.

Dora covered her mouth and cried desperately.

Bella walked to her side worriedly, patted her shoulder, said softly, "Dora, don't cry, it’s fine. Everything will be okay."

Dora was not the kind of girl who loved crying. She was usually an outgoing woman, free and casual like a boy. But for the past two days, she kept crying.

Yesterday she thought that Carl was dead, she was crying, and today she was still crying because of Bella’s trust.

Because she didn’t cry often, which made Bella even sadder to see her tears.

Dora tightly held Bella, buried her head which was wrapped in gauze on Bella’s belly, and burst into tears, like a child who suffered a lot.

"Bella, I do know that you hid the death of Carl because you worried about me. I was angry at you not because I hate you, but I am sad, I am so sad that I don't know what to do. I just lost my temper. But even I was angry with you, how would I kill the aunt? She is not only your mother but also my mother. How can they say that I murdered her...? How could I do that kind of thing..."

Bella touched her hair, her eyes gradually became wet, the sudden arrival of the police must have scared Dora.

"Yeah. How could you do that kind of thing?" Bella comforted her. "So, Dora, someone must have framed you. You think about it, who is the most suspicious person."

Dora looked up at her. "Do you think someone is deliberately trying to provoke us? Someone deliberately dressed as me to murder?"

Bella nodded.

"No one dressed as her, and the fingerprints on the scene and the video of the ward proofed that the person was her." Charles didn’t approach, he was standing at the door, his hands were sleeved in his trouser pocket, stating the facts calmly and cruelly.

"But how was it possible? I drank the soup that Katherine gave me. I slept. I watched the time before going to bed, it was eleven o'clock, but when I appeared at the aunt's ward door, it was half-past two. At that time, I was already asleep.” Dora’s face was convinced, she even added, “I can guarantee that I have not a sleepwalker.”

"Wait a minute." There was something suddenly flashing in Bella’s brain, "What did you just say? Katherine gave you chicken soup?"

Dora nodded. "Yes, she took a chicken soup to apologize to me last night." She glanced at Charles cautiously and said, "For the conflict between you in the ward last noon."

"Did you drink all?"

Dora was a little embarrassed. "She said that she is the lord’s girlfriend. But the lord is in love with you. I thought I did encourage you to sleep with the lord, so I felt somewhat guilty. Then I didn't refuse her."

Bella asked immediately, "What about chicken soup? We can test it, there must have some problems with the chicken soup."

"I drank it all."

"What about the bones? There is always some residue."

Dora was even more embarrassed. "I was really hungry at that time and I ate all the chicken."

At that time, she had not eaten for a whole day. She didn’t know why Katherine’s chicken soup was so delicious, so she kept drinking and couldn’t stop.

"What about the insulation pot?" Bella still didn’t give up, there must be some residual in the pot.

She did not believe that Katherine would suddenly become so kind as to send Dora soup.

"Because of courtesy, I washed the pot after I finished drinking and prepared to give it to her today."

But she didn’t expect that before she returned it, the police came.

Dora immediately realized Bella’s questions. "Do you think Katherine put the medicine in the soup to make me kill people in a sleepwalking way?"

When it came to this, she felt a little scaring. "How could such medicine exist in this world?"

Charles’s indifferent voice came over. “Katherine wouldn’t do this kind of thing, she has no motives.”

Charles, he always believed Katherine for no reason.

Bella looked back at him, said word by word, "She has the motivation."

Charles frowned, looking at her very calmly, "When I was here, what happened to you?"

When he was not...

There was nothing to hide, Bella said directly, "At noon yesterday, I gave Katherine a slap."

At that moment, Bella saw Charles’s pupils shrink, “What?”

"I said that I beat her." Bella’s heart twitched heavily and said clearly, "You didn't get it wrong."

Charles looked at her and his face was getting blacker and blacker.

"You fight with her? Yesterday noon, here?"

Bella nodded, "Yes, I gave her a slap."

She gave Katherine a slap on her face, but no one told him about it.

Charles’s tone was serious, “Tell me what happened.”

Dora said what happened yesterday at noon. From the time when they entered the door to the moment that they disputed with each other, she clearly said it.

However, because she was close to Bella, most of her words were partial to Bella.

Charles had his own judgment, after listening to it, his face had become more and more serious.

Bella stood aside and listened, no expression, no fear.

Yesterday, if Katherine had not been stimulating Dora, Dora would not collapse to lose her mind.

Out of the ward, Charles pulled Bella and asked. "Where are you going?"

"I am going to find Katherine." Bella always thought that the chicken soup would not be that simple.

Katherine hated her so much that she even wanted her to die, Dora was her best friend, how could she be so kind as to find Dora and send chicken soup to her.

It was clear a Greek gift, which was obviously a trap.

Charles said in a low voice, "Bell, I know Katherine's physical condition. Since you have already beaten her yesterday, you should have vented."

Bella looked up at him, "So you think I am deliberately looking for trouble?"

Charles looked at her and his eyes were speechless. "Bell, Katherine has chosen to be with Nick, our life has nothing to do with her."

Bella bit her lip tightly, so he still felt that she was looking for trouble.

"Do you still think that I want to frame Katherine because I am jealous of her?"

"Bell, don't make trouble." Charles said, "I know her body, she is hospitalized with abdominal pain, and try not to stimulate her as much as possible. You also need to have a good rest, you slept so late yesterday. I will handle Dora’s thing. I will check it out."

Bella’s heart got hurt. He knew Katherine’s body, but he didn’t know her body. He didn’t know she was pregnant. He didn’t know she was almost aborted.

"How will you check? Do you check all the suspicious people?"

"This is just one of the ways."

Bella didn’t give up, "I think Katherine is very suspicious."

"Bell..."

"You still don’t want me to see her, right?"
