Chapter 115 One more chance.
Belle Ye was taken aback.
"What's wrong with your voice?" Ethan Mo glanced at the paper then turned to look at her. His eyes were full of exploration and...the worry that was so weak that it was hard to find.
She did not want to answer but felt uncomfortable under his gaze, so she pointed to her throat.
"Is it inflamed? Why don't you ask the doctor to see it?" Ethan turned and walked outside while Belle reached out to stop him, but only caught a cool breeze in the palm of her hand...Ethan walked to the door and suddenly Looked back at the bitterness and melancholy on her face.
Feeling something choking in his throat all of a sudden, Ethan walked back, picked up the white paper pasted on the hardboard.
"Chen, if you see him, help me bring a sentence." He sat on the edge of the bed and read. "Let's talk. What do you want to tell me? You can write it down if you can't say it."
Ethan Gave her back the cardboard. Belle hesitated for a moment but took the board at last.
“Let me go and your problem will be solved.” She wrote her words slowly and one by one.
“Never!” Ethan grabbed the cardboard and tore it into pieces that fell to the ground.
Belle Ye swallowed hard, and it took a long time for her throat to feel a little more comfortable.
"The news that I am in Gang City has already spread, right?"
"Did Chen Jia told you?" Chen Jia was Chen who served Belle.
"Oh, there is no need for her to tell me." Belle shook her head and swallowed again. "Those who hated or blamed me, May Ning, and my brother. They will find me, sooner or later...Do you think you can hide
it?"
"I can't, but neither can you run away from me." He roared almost arrogantly and rushed to her in two steps to grab her shoulder with the eyes full of flames. "Mark my words. No one can help you even if they could find you and don't even think of seeing Nathan Luo!"
Belle breathed heavily...she now was sure that her brother was back.
She did not want to see those people who had interacted with her in the past. She even hoped that she could never meet them ever again.
When she met Pei Xuzhou and Lu Xiao that day in the underground city, and they took photos to post online, her mood was far less calm than her performance at that moment.
Afraid?
Of course, she was afraid. She was so afraid that for a second she wanted to beg them for mercy. She did not want those acquaintances to see her current situation and saddened the families and friends who still cared about her...
She had no face to see them and will never see them again in her life. Ethan's worry was unnecessary. She was trying to say something, but her throat was choking, and she could not make a sound.
All of a sudden, a shadow covered her head, and her lips were pressed tightly. Belle's body stiffened, and she almost forgot to react. She was pressed down, the slender fingers of Ethan sank deep into her clothes. After she recovered herself, she began to dodge, resist, struggle, and twist.
"Don't move!" He ordered.
Ethan did not want Belle to keep struggling, or she might stretch the unhealed injuries. God knew how strange Ethan’s actions were right now. He touched her so gently and carefully like Belle was a
porcelain doll.
"Fuck off... don't touch me."Belle pushed him away and panted heavily. Her face was pale as paper, and a few words intermittently spit out from her throat.
"Do you hate me so?" Ethan sat on the side of the bed and held his arms, looking at her."I’m the one should hate, not you! Five years ago, I did send you to jail and I did require the Ye family to sever the relationship with you. I did them all, but you, you escaped and didn't suffer any of that. What qualifications do you have to hate me?"
She was speechless and just staring at the white quilt with her head drooping.
"Yes, I am not qualified."For god know how long it took before she nodded.
It turned out that after all those years, her suffering had nothing to do with him.
This thought existed since she met Ethan Mo again. She could not believe that if it were not for him, then her hatred for so many years...but even if it was not him, he was still one of the reasons why she suffered.
"Yes, you are not qualified. So..." He choked her jaw, "Tell me, where have you been all these years? Also, the one who hurt May Ning, was it you?"
The man's face was unprecedentedly serious as if he was suppressing something. His expression was complicated, which showed hesitation and struggle.
Seeing this, Belle thought to herself that could he be afraid, too?
"It's me, I hit her."
Bang!
Ethan slammed his fist on the screen behind her, brushing her earlobe with his fist, and his low voice was dangerous.
"The truth! I want to hear the truth! Don’t lie to me!"
"Five years ago, when I knelt outside the Tingyu manor and told you that I did not hit her." She recalled that feeling and chuckled. "But you don't believe me. You think I'm deceiving you. Now, I told you I did, and still, you don't believe it. Why don’t you tell me, what is the truth?"
Ethan was speechless at once.
He remembered she was kneeling outside at that time. It was raining, heavily maybe. He could hear her heart-piercing roar outside the door, which went like:
"I didn’t hit May Ning!"
"Ethan Mo, why don't you believe me?"
"We have known each other for so many years! Why can't you just listen to my explanation..."
He then pulled himself back from the memory.
"I'll give you one more chance. You must not lie to me." His chest rising and falling violently.
One more chance?
She laughed because she really did not need any chance from him now.
"If you don't tell me, I will send someone to investigate it."
He loosened her chin and watched her coughing violently while lying on the bed. Ethan then patted her back gently.
"Tomorrow I will ask the doctor to check you. If you feel uncomfortable, hurry up and cure yourself. Don't keep yourself sick to expert my sympathy, because you won’t."
...
The next day, before the dawn, Ethan Mo hurriedly left Tingyu manor. His original plan to let the doctor come over to examine Belle’s body failed. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"What's going on?" He drove to the construction site, which was already working before dawn, while today, all the projects were shelved, and all the people looked gloomy and sad.
This piece of land was a new real estate he bid for three months ago. He had some contacts in the Planning Bureau, and so he knew that a high-speed rail station and an airport will be built in the vicinity before biding for the nearby real estate immediately and planning to plan this area into a commercial street.
The industries of the Mos involved many aspects, including real estate.
"Mr. Mo, someone fell from our built frame and has been taken to the hospital. The hospital called just now and said that he didn’t make it. What shall we do? Mr. Mo?" The supervisor in charge of the construction of the project was trembling, with a bitter face.
"Falling down? Why did he climb up to those ledges with no reason?" Ethan Mo shouted. "Go to the monitoring! I need to check it out."
"Yes."
"Also, block the news, and no reporters allowed to come in. " Ethan Mo said while looking at the sluggish workers. He thought for a while and then added."Send someone to calm everyone's emotions. The project needs to be done quickly. We can’t afford to delay."
"Sir, Nathan Luo was in the Tingyu manor." At this time, Barry Mo also drove over and told Ethan this with a pale expression.
