496 The Battered-Body Trick

The moment the door was pushed open, Bella turned subconsciously and turned her back to the door.

She was too ugly now, she didn’t want Charles to see her now.

But behind her came Nick's sneer, "Hide what? If I want to f**k you, I have already done yesterday."

His words were extremely harsh, if it were Bella before, she would have felt sick of it. But now, she felt it heard so relaxing than ever before.

It was not Charles, nice!

Bella turned around and looked at Nick standing at the door, showing a relaxed smile, "I suddenly some stomach pain, I go to the bathroom first."

Having said that, she hurried into the bathroom and locked the door.

She was lying on the washstand, stroking her chest, panting heavily.

Two tears slowly slipped down her pale face.

She looked up at herself in the mirror, her pale and emaciated face was no longer as shiny as before, making her look very poor.

She now looked like a temporarily withered old man. Although she looked young, she had no vitality, looking like the dead.

She didn't want Charles to see her now.

She hoped that he could remember her best appearance so that he would not feel disgusted when he remembered her later.

Women would become beautiful for their lovers.

Bella felt the power of this sentence for the first time. It turned out that her full miss would become the fear to meet her lover because of her face was no longer beautiful.

Nick knocked on the door. "The TV is repaired, but it can be broken again if you don't hurry up."

As soon as the voice fell, the door opened.

Bella went out, but said a little carelessly, "Your TV is too useless, how can it break again when it was just repaired well?"

"It was produced thirty years ago, it is already a miracle to turn it on."

Bella chatted with him, "You still keep the TV thirty years ago. I never know you are so economical."

"This house was built 30 years ago. I have been here once more than a decade ago, and this is the second time. I don't come here often, therefore the things inside haven't changed." Nick rarely chatted seriously.

Bella lamented that it was so good to be rich. He could buy a house and lived only once for more than ten years without rent or sale.

Over ten years?

She suddenly thought of something, then asked, "Is it 15 years ago when you injured Charles?"

Nick put his hand on her shoulder and smiled, "I started to know why I like you, because you are so smart!"

He did not deny it, which meant that when Charles was injured fifteen years ago, he had been sieged on a large scale and he came here to take refuge.

Bella took a step forward, throwing his hand off her shoulder without any trace. She continued naturally, "Since Charles let people siege you last time, why did he let you go after that? Otherwise, how can you live so freely under his eyes these years?"

"It wasn't Charles who besieged me, it was Roy and the elder." Nick disdainfully said, "How could Charles besiege me? He is a hypocrite."

Bella suddenly stopped and turned to ask him, "If you find that you have misunderstood Charles one day, what will you do?"

Nick hooked her chin, and his enchanted eyes had a smile of unbelief, "Then I will save you for free, and complete your poor couple."

He spoke extremely viciously. Because he did not believe what Bella said, he thought she was only a lobbyist for Charles.

Bella didn't believe what he said, because she knew that only Charles could save her in this world.

It was interesting to be with the enemy before her death and let him bury her.

The TV was in the lobby, and Jack thoughtfully placed the TV right in front of the dining table so that Bella could eat while watching.

Nick didn't turn on the TV, but signaled her to have breakfast first, "If you don’t eat now, it's really impossible for you to eat later."

Bella didn't want to argue with him. She drank a bowl of porridge at random and didn't even eat the vegetables. She put down the chopsticks and said to him, "I eat well."

Nick put a fried egg into her bowl. "Eat it."

Bella finished eating, the egg was in her throat, and she couldn't say a word clearly, "I am ready."

Nick looked at her with a sneer, "It's just to watch the news. Is it necessary to pretend to die for him? You show this affectionate look to whom?!"

In order to see what he looked like now, she really couldn’t wait a second.

He couldn't understand her mood, but felt inexplicably unhappy.

He couldn't understand her thoughts on him, and he couldn't understand what she wanted to see most at this moment was the child she had never seen before.

The news was a replay edited by Nick, not real time.

Nick asked Jack to clean the bowl and said to her, "The news these days is all here, watch it slowly. Let me remind you that you only have eighteen days left, so don't be too excited to die earlier."

Bella said, "Open it."

If she really saw him well and her family was well, she would die without regrets now.

When the TV was turned on, it was a close-up of Charles. He sat at the press conference and said to the camera, "Everyone who can provide information about my wife will be awarded a bounty of thousand dollars once it is confirmed. I will reward hundreds of millions for those who can retrieve my wife.

She saw Charles stood up and bowed deeply into the camera. "Thank you!"

Bella burst into tears, she covered her mouth and cried continuously. Her Charles, such a noble lord, so honorable King of the Sea. He used to be difficult to even apologize, but now he bent to the world.

She saw Charles speaking to the camera and said, "Bell, do you want to see Bryant? His eyes are like yours, big and round. His face is like me. He loves crying, this is like you. But as long as I hug him, he would stop crying, this is still like you. Bell, Bryant has not seen his mother. If you see the news, please for the sake of Bryant, come back and see us. Bell, I miss you, Bryant also misses you..."

Charles was no longer clean and refreshing as before on TV, his extraordinary face had grown into a beard, he looked very poor and sad, his voice was sobbing, "Bell, Bryant, his color is the same as mine. He is our son."

The media at the site thought that he was talking about the skin color, but Bella knew that he was talking about Bryant's fish tail.

Thirty years ago the television was black and white, but she saw all the colors of Charles.

She saw him in white clothes as before, seeing the sadness in his blue eyes, seeing the clenched bone joints had turned white. He was no longer a three-piece suit as he used to go out, he loosened his shirt casually.

She saw him pull out his phone from her pocket and hurried away. She heard a voice before his figure disappeared, "Bryant is crying..."

Snapped!

Nick turned off the TV, grabbed a tear-stained cheek without hesitation, and stuffed a pill into her mouth.

Until he was sure that she had swallowed it, he sneered ironically, "Useless stupid fool. Can’t you see that he is deliberately using the Battered-Body Trick?"
