Chapter 938:
Herbert reached out and touched my hair. Without saying anything, he lowered his head and kissed me on the forehead.
At that moment, I could clearly feel his breath growing heavier, and I started to catch my breath too. Then, he ran his finger through my hair and asked in a low, husky voice, “Do you want to be so cruel?”
“It’s you… who agreed,” I said, my voice trembling.
Hearing this, a mischievous smile appeared on Herbert’s lips.
“But I’m going back on my word now. What should I do?”
“You can’t go back on your word…”
I hadn’t even finished my sentence when, in the next moment, he lowered his head and kissed me, effectively swallowing the rest of my words.
Bella’s POV:
Not only did Herbert have great physical strength, but he also had a strong desire.
Recently, I felt that my body was a little weak.
When would my period come? Having been a woman for nearly 30 years, it was the first time I was so eager for it to arrive soon.
The next morning, I was almost late again.
As soon as I sat down at my desk, Joey followed me in.
“Hey, do you think Emma’s life is in danger?”
Joey asked curiously.
Hearing this, I frowned.
“I’m curious too.”
At that moment, Joey curled her lips.
“But I think it was pretty serious at the time. Even if she could be saved, she’d probably be disabled. It’s better than…”
Suddenly, Joey fell silent.
Two days later, on the same night, I was watching TV with Lucky in my arms when Herbert came back from his social engagement.
“Dad, Dad.”
When Lucky saw Herbert, she began struggling to get closer to him.
Seeing this, Herbert took off his suit and went over to lift her up. As he raised her above his head, she laughed, and the whole room was filled with her joyful sound.
Noticing that Herbert had been drinking, I stepped forward with a smile and hugged him.
“Well, I think you’ve had enough to drink. Be careful not to drop Lucky.”
“Even if I fall, I won’t drop my daughter,” Herbert said with a smile, gently touching Lucky’s face. I didn’t say anything, but I could tell he truly adored her.
Herbert sat on the sofa, looking stunned for a moment. Then, he looked up at me and said, “Emma is dead.”
