499 Affairs in the Pas

In the morning when Bella’s life entered the last tenth day.

Bella and Nick sat face to face. Each of them had a bowl of porridge, with a few dishes of delicate vegetables in the middle, and some cakes.

Nick threw a dumpling into Bella's bowl, "No matter how bad taste the dumpling is, since you have made it, you should eat it."

Bella was not as rude as him, she also put a cake in his bowl. "It's you who fermented the flour."

Nick laughed, so did Bella.

These cakes were made by the doughs when Nick said that he wanted to eat hand-made noodles. He didn't know how to ferment at all, so he dropped baking powder and made a large bucket of doughs.

So in the next few days, they ate cakes and dumplings to survive.

Although they had eaten too many cakes that they almost vomited, Bella felt relaxed these days.

Although she had always been passive during their interaction. How Nick wanted to treat her didn’t depend on her. But these days Nick's mood was very stable, he did not humiliate her. This made her alarmed heart relieved a little bit.

The morning news was broadcast on black-and-white television, Bella listened to it as the background sounds, taking the cakes.

Suddenly, the broadcaster's thick and rounded voice came out from the TV. "The boss of E&B issued a critical illness notice in the morning..."

The chopsticks in Bella's hands fell off the table, her eyes were staring straight at the screen.

Edwin? Or Steven?

Although Edwin had restored his identity to Bella, the public still believed that Steven was Edwin.

So who was Edwin in the news?

Bella stared at the TV screen, even wishing she could get into the screen and see clearly.

Soon a photo of Edwin popped up on the screen, and the announcer accompanied the commentary: "Edwin, the son of the former president of the National Chamber of Commerce in the Kingdom Y, Leo Beck. He co-founded the group with Steven Beck, who has been managing the company for many years because of Edwin’s physical inconvenience. Recently, their sister, the lady, Bella's abduction case has given him a big shock and fell into a coma..."

Fell into a coma?

Brother, how would he fall into a coma? Was there a rejection with Clair's organs?

Bella couldn't imagine it, she guessed anxiously.

The voice of the announcer came again to her ears, "Edwin's biggest wish now is to reunite with his sister before he dies..."

Before he died... to reunite with her again?

Bella's tears fell into the porridge bowl, and the white porridge soup fainted with water.

Bella stood up abruptly and rushed out regardless.

Nick grabbed her hand before she took two steps.

"Let me go, I want to see my brother. I want to see my brother." Bella was crying sadly. "My brother is going to die. He wants to see me. He wants to see me."

"Stupid!" Nick held her shoulders and shook it fiercely. "Be sober."

Bella was shaken by him so heavily that her hair loosened, and her head was dizzy. She looked up at him, but tears in her eyes blurred her vision. She couldn't see his face at all. She was even angrier than him and shouted fiercely: "How can I be sober? My brother is dying, he is dying. His whole life is all about protecting me. To let me alive, he stayed in the experiment room to be used as a human experiment. Obviously, he did it for me, but he was afraid to hurt my heart, and he lied to me that he was my father. He was even afraid that I would hate him, and he refused to accept the only operation that could help him survive. Now he's dying and wants to see me. This is his only requirement for me, how can I not see him? How..."

"You're enough!" Nick roared louder than her, "Edwin will never die. This is a scam. He lied to you to leave here and leave me."

A scam?

Bella no longer struggled, she looked at him blankly and asked, "What do you mean?"

Nick looked at her and said word by word, "Bella, think about why Charles played that Battered-Body Trick in front of the media? Because he needed to use this to lead you back to do the operation. You were not fooled, they can only think of such away. You think clearly, once you leave here, you will definitely be found by Charles’s people."

Bella was silent, Nick's words reminded her. It would really be Charles’ methods to let her go back to do the surgery.

However, what if Edwin really had an organ rejection?

Bella stood at the door, her body was shaking as if the leaves were being blown by the wind, looking very pathetic.

"I want to make sure that my brother is fine." Bella's voice lowered, but she was still affirmed.

Nick let go her, stepped back, and looked at her condescendingly. He had disdain in his eyes, "If you want to go, I won’t stop you. After all, you have only ten days. If you really regret it, and want Charles’ heart to let you survive. This is exactly a good excuse. No one will blame you even if you take the surgery, after all, you have such a good excuse."

Nick's words pierced Bella's chest like a sharp blade, and she could not help but take a few steps back.

Bella subconsciously justified, "No, I don't want Charles to die."

"I don't care, whoever dies is good to me. I will be happy. If you died, Charles will be sad, I am happy. If Charles is dead, I am also happy, anyway, I have seen the pain that he suffered when he lost you before your death." Nick said disapprovingly," So, if you leave now, and Charles died, it will be an accidental gain."

Bella covered her ears and shook her head. "No, I won't let Charles die."

Nick sneered, "Aren't you going to see Edwin? Go ahead, go out, you can see Edwin, you can personally confirm whether he has organ rejection or not. By the way ... you can survive."

"No, I don't want to see him. I won't go." Bella turned quietly and walked towards her bedroom step by step, like a mechanical puppet, "You're right, I'm dying too. I can meet my brother after death."

Bella murmured, "It's okay, it's the same that ...we meet after death ..."

Nick looked at her fading back, lowered his eyes. He called out, "Jack!"

Jack came over and bowed his head, "The second master."

Nick's voice was very low and asked, "Jack, do you want to go home?"

Jack was even lower. "While there is the second master, it is my home."

Nick sighed, "Why haven't you succeeded in assassinating Charles so many times these years?"

Jack said, "The lord and his people around him are strong. None of our killers are his opponents."

Nick smiled and patted his shoulder. "After all these years, I am actually tired of it."

Jack looked at him puzzled.

Nick said, "I have been seeking for an answer about the affairs in the past. But in fact, I already know the answer. It is just that I do not want to admit it."

"It was the lord who framed you to rebel. It was not your fault."

"I'm not talking about this."
