Chapter 1517
Bella returned with a hot drink and dinner for two.
She bought pumpkin porridge for the two of them.
Charlie didn't say anything. He picked up the porridge bowl and ate elegantly.
It tasted nice.
Seeing him eating, Bella smiled slightly. Her cheeks turned pink.
They finished dinner in the car and then drove on.
The place where Bella lived was remote. The car drove for a long while before it arrived.
Bella got out of the car and stood in a place that sheltered her from the rain, looking at him. "Mr. Morgan, be careful on the road!"
Charlie grunted quietly.
Bella thought of something. She went forward, found a book in her bag, and handed it to him. "I feel you're in a bad mood these days. I bought a joke book. If you have time, you can read it."
Charlie rubbed the book with his long, warm fingers, looking at Bella.
Bella was timid, not daring to meet his eyes. She pursed her lips, lowered her head, and clasped her hands with embarrassment. "I like reading it. It's interesting and can make me happy." NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Charlie’s face softened. He curved his lips faintly. "Go back now."
Bella nodded and turned to walk towards home.
Charlie didn't leave immediately, lying on his back on the seat and flipping through the joke book.
Bella returned home, put down her bag, and intended to go to the kitchen to make dinner.
Her mom was weak, and her dad had gone to the construction site.
Bella habitually went to her mom's room first. She pushed the door open but didn't see her mom. She frowned in confusion and went to the bathroom. Her face turned white in shock.
Her mom was lying on the floor in the bathroom in a coma.
Bella was terrified, calling her mother repeatedly.
Yet her mother didn't answer.
Bella quickly rushed out and saw the car that hadn't left yet. Her eyes lit up. She ran over. "Mr... Mr. Morgan, my mother fainted..."
Charlie got out of the car and stepped into the house with her.
He was tall and strong. He directly carried her mom into the car. Bella followed him.
At once, the car sped towards the downtown hospital. Bella's mom was quickly sent into the operating room.
Bella anxiously called her father, but he had already gone to the construction site in another province. She told him what had happened.
Bella huddled in the corner in fear.
She was scared that something would happen to her mother!
She sat crouched against the walls, which could give her a false sense of security.
Charlie hadn't left yet and asked the best doctor in Santabaca to come over.
Bella somehow reminded him of what he suffered.
At that time, he was also standing in the corner outside the operating room. He was worried, frightened, and lonely.
He deeply sympathized with her.
Walking over, he gave her a cup of hot water. "Drink some water."
Bella was so afraid that she suddenly reached out and boldly hugged him. "Mom will be fine, right?”
Charlie stiffened and was stunned.
He could feel her shaking violently, saying, "Yes."
"I’m scared that something will happen to her." Bella was crying. "She has a hard life!"
"She'll be all right."
He lowered his voice and thought of Mckenzie again. His mind wandered.
