387 Everyone's Plan

Nick did not look back, so did Steven.

He went back to the top of the mountain with blood, he couldn't have time to handle it. He directly opened the door of Edwin’s ward.

Edwin slept lightly, and immediately heard the sound. "Who?"

"Dad, it is me."

Hearing Steven’s voice, Edwin moved and sat, let him in.

When he saw that he was covered in blood, he knew that he had seen Nick. The Colorful Jellyfish didn’t sound like something growing on the land.

Edwin pressed the medical bell and asked the doctor to come in and wrap it for Steven. "I have already been like this. It’s useless to find him. Did you argue with him?"

When the first time Steven entered the Beck family, he had confessed to Edwin. In the past few years, Steven would also talk about the things between him and Nick. He did not want to be a double-sided undercover, nor did he want Nick and Edwin to become enemies.

Edwin understood his mind and trusted him, and did not prevent him from interacting with Nick. This kind of trust made Steven moved.

Steven didn’t have time to answer his question and asked anxiously. "He starts to suspect Bell, what can we do? Can Bell use that medicine again?"

Edwin shook his head. "No. My father used to have side effects because of the short interval between the last shot and the previous shot. Now we haven’t developed the new medicine, I can’t let Bell take any risks."

"What should we do now?" Steven was very worried. "Nick has been eager for the blood for many years. He is aimed at the blood of the person who has the gene of mermaid. When he is in a good mood, he is calm. However, if he is in a bad mood, he will arrange the assassination for Charles, regardless of anything. He has to make a fuss, Bell will certainly die."

In these years, Nick and Charles had both looked for the blood with the gene of mermaid. His plan was to destroy the mermaid race in the Kingdom of the Sea. Sometimes he could wait patiently, but when he was irritated occasionally, he would ask people to assassinate Charles, or go to find Charles to fight and vent his anger.

Then he would start a new round of search and wait.

Like the last time, the reason why he sent people to shoot Charles, it was because the suspected blood he had found was denied. The anger in his heart had nowhere to place, he felt unhappy, so he could only find the trouble of Charles. But he didn't expect that Charles didn’t get hurt, but Bella was shot.

Nick was like a madman who was temperamental all the time.

Steven was more worried about, "He knows our true identity. What if he tells it to Bell? Bell still trusts in him now."

Edwin sighed. "The so-called handle is really in the hands of trusted people."

Steven was very guilty, "I'm sorry."

As soon as he lowered his head, the wound was touched, there poured out a stream of blood. The doctor who just arrived was shocked and quickly stopped him. "Young master, don't move."

Because the doctor needed to check the old wounds, he took off the shirt for Steven, and the gauze had already been stained with blood. The doctor looked at the bandages with a serious look. The wounds were already bloody and valgus, and the sutures were already pulled out.

Edwin’s face was dark, his voice was cold. "Since it’s his people, it is his own business."

Steven knew that Edwin said that he referred to Charles, and hesitated. "He has been assassinated countless times these. If he really wants to do something, he won’t wait till now."

Edwin smiled gently, but his eyes flashed a murderous spirit. "That is because Nick hasn’t touched his bottom line."

"Do you want to provoke them?" Steven still had some concerns. "Will it hurt Bell?"

Edwin was still smiling. “Certainly we can’t let it hurt Bell.”

Steven sighed, if Edwin really wanted to frame Nick, he was afraid that Nick would definitely loose. However, Nick was cruel, and Edwin was disabled, so it was hard to say whether Edwin would win or not.

This night, Steven turned around on the bed, the next morning, Bella saw Steven in the restaurant. She was somehow unexpected, "How did you get up so early, do you feel better?"

These days Steven got up late because he was recovering from illness. So he hadn’t had breakfast with them all the time.

Steven shrugged. "I feel much better. I am going to the company with you today."

Although Bella was in the company, and Quentin would follow her all the time, he was still afraid that he couldn’t stop Nick if he played tricks, it was better that he followed her by himself.

"But your injury..."

Bella certainly hoped that he could return to the company soon, so that her pressure would be less.

"I feel much better. I haven't gone anywhere in the past few days. The bones are hard, it’s time to exercise. I also go to check how your recent work is going."

Hearing his words, Bella was relieved. She smiled. "Welcome to inspect."

Bella asked, "Will you drive today?"

"Yeah." Steven said, "Quentin wasn’t on the mountain yesterday."

Bella said, "I will go with you today."

Charles was shocked, “Bell...”

Steven also felt a bit strange. Since Charles came back this time, this couple was so close that they were like conjoined babies. She actually asked to take his car, there must be only one reason.

Steven’s eyes became darker, and his look was very unfriendly. His warning eyes shuttled back and forth on Charles’s face. “Did he bully you?”

"No. He has a meeting this morning." Bella tightly trod on Charles's instep, and glanced at him with a warning eye.

Charles was very awkward. "Yes, I have a meeting this morning, thanks for sending Bell to work."

In fact, he was also very innocent, he thought he had already coaxed her well yesterday, but she didn’t let him touch her since this morning.

Steven didn't believe Bella’s words, and asked directly on the way to work. "Did you have a quarrel with Charles because of dad’s affair yesterday?"

Bella shook her head. "No."

Steven breathed and said that he had found Nick yesterday. At the end he said, "Bell, no matter what kind of matter Nick is looking for you in the next few days, you are not allowed to meet him alone, do you understand? Not to mention to let him take away your blood."

Bella remembered that yesterday Charles mentioned the matter about Nick in his letter, she asked, "Do you know what happened between them before?"

From Charles’s performance yesterday, it seemed that it was not just about money and identity.

"I don't know the specific content. It seems that Charles has framed Nick to rebel, and the Patrol of the Sea under his jurisdiction was expelled from the Kingdom of the Sea." Steven said, "I am afraid that only themselves know the specific insider."

Bella thought of the safe that Charles said, she always felt that there must be a misunderstanding between them. In particular, Nick’s misunderstanding of Charles was particularly deep.

It would be deep enough to harm her and her baby's life.

Maybe she should go to solve the misunderstanding. Her baby was going to born, she couldn’t let the grievances of the older generation leave to the next generation.
