Right after Bella went in the room, a doctor hugged her from behind.
"Come on, stop it!"
Bella pushed him away.
He was not willing to stop and hugged her from behind again.
"What's wrong? Do you prefer that old man than me now?"
Nicole was stunned at the moment he raised his head.
He was Cornell, a famous orthopedist in this hospital.
She still remembered that he was considered as an excellent doctor of the hospital and his name was
displayed on the wall. But she would never think that he had an affair with Bella.
Nicole felt that she walked into a big secret.
Being Mr. Louis’ wife, Bella had a lover and he was a doctor with high income.
So, Nicole surveyed him with her eyes.
Cornell was kind of good looking. He was over forty, but still charming. And as a doctor, many women
would be interested in him. But why would he choose to hook up with a married woman, Bella?
Nicole couldn't understand.
Bella pulled off her scarf and said impatiently, "All you can think about is sex or gamble. What else do
you care except for these?"
Cornell looked unhappy and his face turned sullen.
"Are you here to give me a cold face today? Bella Miller, who do you think you are? If you act like this
again, I will...."
"What will you do? Cornell, you'd better remember that who helped you to get to where you are now. I
can make you an honorable a doctor, so I can destroy you too. Don't make me do that."
Bella was totally different from how she was at home. The virtuous wife became an arrogant woman
now.
If Nicole did not know her before, she would mistake her for someone else.
Bella was just too different from how she was.
Cornell smiled quickly.
"Come on. If I lost everything, does it bring any good to you? We have a son, if I got too poor, I will tell
Jacob that I am actually his biological father."
Nicole was shocked.
What?
Jacob was Bella and Cornell's child.
How was this possible?
Mr. Louis was a businessman and a cautious person. When he brought Jacob back, he must had done
the paternity test.
Just as Nicole was puzzled, Bella sneered and said, "Thank God that you still remember that we have
a son. If it wasn't for me and changed the blood samples between Jacob and Tim back then, do you
think that cunning old man would believe Jacob was his son? I've worked hard for so many years to
serve him like a king. Why? It's all for our son. But now what? He would rather go to the Green Family
and serve Samuel than come back to get the Louis Family's money."
"No. Everything in the Louis Family is ours. That was the plan."
Cornell got anxious immediately.
Bella sat down on the ward bed and sighed, "Do you think I'm not worried? Jacob would listen to me
more if I brought him up. But you sent him to the orphanage."
"How can I let you bring our son together? If you did, Mr. Louis would definitely had abandoned you.
What's the point of bringing up this now? What should we do now?"
"What to do? What else can we do? To get all the money from Tim, that's the only way. Today, I come
here to discuss with you about it."
Bella lowered her voice and said, "You know that I helped an orphan before, right?"
"That's right, and I was mad at you about it. Because you didn't have much money for each month, not
even enough for me to gamble. Why on earth did you help an orphan? You must had lost your mind. By
the way, Mr. Louis seems treat you well, but he only gives you 20,000 each month. Do you really know
how to please him? He is just an old man."
His words agitated her.
"Shut up! How dare you judging me like this? You are a kept man. I was the one who suffered from all
these years in that family for our son. What have you done? Now you want to tell him that you are his
father, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
"Why should I feel ashamed? I am his father, so he should be filial to me."
"You shameless! Why did I fall in love with you back then?"
Bella spat on Cornell's face.
He was about to get mad but stopped.
"What exactly are you going to say? Just say it!"
Although Bella did not like the way he is now, she suppressed her anger and whispered, "Something
went wrong with the orphan I helped."
"What went wrong?"
"Well, I asked her to seduce Tim and to steal the company's seal. Then I could secretly transfer the
money to our account. But I would never expect her to fall for him and kept on messing with my plan. I
guess she really likes Tim. So, she became useless to me. But she knew too many secrets about me.
So, I had to remove her. She is in this hospital now. I asked someone to break all her bones. Even if
she was alive, she would be crippled. As long as she is transferred to your ward and you are her
doctor, you should know what to do."
Bella's words made Nicole clear about everything. It seemed that what they suspected was right. Bella
was behind this.
But Nicole was curious about how could Bella supported Maia? And how did she know things about
her?
Bordeaux was so far from here, no one would guess that she would run to Bordeaux to help a pair of
orphans to go to school.
Jase never knew who was supporting Maia. If it was Bella, it would make sense.
Mr. Louis still had some connections in the Seapolis City. Moreover, since Tim was a soldier, it was
possible for Mr. Louis to build some connections in the military. It shouldn't be difficult for him to do
something good.
However, it was not easy for Bella to make use of Mr. Louis’ connections. Not to mention that he didn't
even notice it, and no one did. She was good.
Nicole had to agree that she was good.
Cornell frowned.
"You are so silly. I've already told you that it's impossible to turn a stranger into family, but you won't
listen to me. You've been given her money for so many years. If you gave the money to me...."
"To you? You would have lost all that money. I need to have a few people around me that I can trust.
Otherwise, how can I survive in that family? Tim never respects me. He only cares for his own mother.
Though Mr. Louis treats Tim toughly, deep down he cares for him the most. No matter how bad Tim
treats me, he always asks me to step back. He never plans to give the company to Jacob and will only
give him one or two apartments as a compensation. If not because I knew for sure that he thought
Jacob is his blood, I would be so concerned.”
As speaking, she took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but Cornell snatched it away.
"Please, you are in the hospital ward. If you smoke, people will know that we are here."
Bella lay down on the bed with frustration. She stared at the ceiling and said, "I am tired of this kind of
life. All these years, I have been trying hard in that family. People say that Mr. Louis treats me well and
indulges me, but I know the truth. He has never forgot about Martha. It's been more than 20 years, and
he still hasn't divorced her. So legally, I am not his wife and have no right to get anything from this
family. Otherwise, I would have killed him long ago."
"Don't worry. After we get all their money, I'll finish his life. I know how to make it look natural and no
one will ever find out."
Bella smiled.
"You are only useful at such time. I guess medical school works for you."
"Of course. I must learn some real skills. You paid for my college tuition, how can I let you down?"
He leaned over again and hugged Bella tightly.
This time, Bella did not push him away. Instead, she leaned on his chest and whispered, "Cornell, I did
all these for you and our son. If your family wasn't that poor, I would never sell myself like this. You said
you would wait for me for the rest of your life. So, when I get the money, let's get married. Then we'll go
to Paris for our honeymoon, what do you think?"
Cornell smiled unnaturally and said, "Sure. I agree with whatever you say because you are my wife."
He was about to kiss Bella, but she stopped him.
"I'm serious. Can you handle Maia?"
"Don't worry, have I ever failed you? Back then, it was me who drugged Martha and made her insane.
Do you think that she was that fragile and could easily gone mad only by seeing the two of you lying
together?"
Cornell's words shocked Nicole again.
She could never imagine such secrets.
Bella smiled and said, "This is the most satisfying thing you've ever done. I know that something is
going on between you and that nurse in the sanatorium. But I forgive you since she has been poisoning
her for so many years. But now, Tim takes her out. You should handle that nurse."
"Handle? How?"
Cornell was stunned.
Bella pushed him away and sneered, "Don't pretend to be innocent. Are you waiting for me to make a
move?"
"Don't worry. I will do it properly and make it looks like an accident. Don't be mad."
Cornell leaned forward again.
Maybe this time she was satisfied with what he said. She fell into Cornell's arms and started to make
out.
Nicole felt too embarrassed to listen. She walked out quietly, but she accidentally touched the flower
pot on the windowsill.
