Chapter 34 Gentle Senior
Chapter 34 Gentle Senior
Among the three who came to the restaurant, Bella was the one who was the least calm and made mistakes from time to time. The atmosphere was weird. The way that Jack and Mason got along was harmonious and horrible.
"What do you like to eat?" The waiter handed the menu to them. Then, Jack put the menu in front of Bella and gently asked her.
"I remember you don't like steak. Try the spaghetti. It's delicious." Not to be outdone, Mason approached her and kissed her on the cheek.
Bella shrank back in a hurry, wondering why these two people looked strange.
"You don't like steak. The sandwich is good, and the chicken chest is also healthy." Jack introduced.
"Yeah," Mason said after taking a glance at Bella's breast. "It's indeed small. It's good for you to replenish your energy."
"……" All of a sudden, Bella's face flushed red. She turned around and stared at Mason with the menu in her hand. She smiled awkwardly and said, "I can order by myself. You two order yours."
They stopped talking, but the expression in their eyes was vague as if they had known each other before.
After a long time, Bella noticed that although they didn't say anything, their eye contact was very strong. She couldn't help but ask, "Do you know each other?"
"No!"
"No!"
They answered simultaneously.
Bella quickly lowered her head and saw the waiter served the dishes as if he had saved her life. "Let's eat. I'm hungry."
Mason raised his eyebrows. No one knows what in his mind. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
From beginning to end, Jack's face was as flat as water, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was just a right thing, not making people uncomfortable, but having an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Bella didn't even dare to find out what was going on between the two of them when they ate quietly. She thought the meal was as dry as sawdust.
Bella fidgeted in her seat. She just wanted to go to the hospital to see her grandma as soon as possible after finishing the meal. It's too powerful and embarrassing to stay between them!
"I'm full." Bella felt relieved and ate up all the food on her plate as fast as possible, choking. But anyway, she had to escape. From now on, she would not need to contact Jack anymore. She did not want to be regarded as a snob. Even if he did not behave like that.
"There is still soup not yet. Take your time." Said Mason, with a doting look on his face.
"……" Bella was somewhat confused. She struggled to free herself from his hand slowly. "I'm worried that grandma will wake up. By the way, buy her something to eat. Enjoy your meal. I'm leaving now. "
"Bella, please wait a moment. I've asked them to pack up food to your grandma. It'll be ready soon. I haven't visited her yet. I work in this hospital and haven't got the chance to visit her yet. " Jack said, stopping her from leaving.
"Thank you so much! I didn't expect that you would work here. What a coincidence!" She secretly scolded in her heart that this coincidence was not what she wanted. Who would have thought that
Mason would say that Bella was his mistress!
"Actually I'm not working in this hospital. I'm just an intern here. If you have something urgent, you can contact me. But I also heard that her grandma's condition deteriorated. I'm really sorry for that. I guess the two people there yesterday must be Ms. Su and her daughter. I heard from the nurses that they were causing some disturbance. " Jack put down his knife and fork, his expression becoming serious and his eyes full of guilt.
"In fact, I'm here to apologize to you. I don't know they and grandma are on bad terms. Actually, it was me who told them grandma's ward." He didn't try to hide the truth, for he was bound to take the consequences for what he had done. Although he knew that Rachel Yang had already found out the hospital's address, but if he didn't tell her the specific address, she wouldn't get worse so soon.
Bella bit her lips and said with sobs after a long time, "It's not your fault. It has been a long time since Linda and her mother had this plan. Since they failed, they won't let me go. But I didn't expect them to be so vicious that they even didn't let go of grandma. "
Mason was in no mood to eat. Someone had already reported everything to him in the morning. It was indeed Linda and her mother. However, he was also responsible for that.
"I know the thing. It was my fault to let they see your grandma. Since things have happened, they have to make up with the most effective and fast way. Her condition is not stable in these two days. We'd better wait for her to recover. You can stay in the hospital to take care of her. " Mason was not unreasonable. He knew what to do with the situation.
As for the old lady's disease, she knew that it was inevitable for the old lady to get sick as she was getting older and her organs and tissues were getting depleted. But no one wanted to see it happened under this circumstance, so he had the method.
He was not a fool. He knew Jack would get close to Bella at the convenience of work. He had his own way to deal with this matter.
Bella took a look at him, thinking that he was quite conscientious. Her grandma was old now, and she still got injured. As her favorite granddaughter, she should take good care of her.
Coming out of the restaurant, the three of them came to the hospital in a strange atmosphere. Bella knew that Jack wanted to have a talk with her. Since they had met, she wanted to make things clear.
Mason didn't go upstairs. He took a phone call downstairs. In the elevator, there were only Bella and Jack.
It was so quiet that there was a sense of embarrassment in the air.
After a while, Jack spoke slowly, "You and he..."
Bella was slightly stunned. She didn't expect him to be so direct. His first question was this.
"No matter what, you have gotten involved in it. By the way, what exactly do you want me to do? I know I don't have the ability to help you. After all, I can't protect myself. I don't even have a job to do. Maybe I can't do anything for you. " She still remembered her original intention was to meet him today.
"It's not a big deal. You majored in design, and I know that you like biology and psychology, and Linda's graduation design was your work. Your classmates said you stole other's idea. Why didn't you explain it to them? " Jack liked this kind of charming, smart and patient woman for a long time. He didn't know when he was deeply attracted by her. He felt sorry for her and regretted having waited and yielded.
Huh! But all these things had passed. And Bella believed in Linda at that time, believing that she didn't do it on purpose, so Bella didn't mind. However, she didn't want to dwell on the past. She smiled bitterly and said, "I thought you would stay away from me because of Linda's one-sided words."
"Of course not. I know you." Jack held her shoulder and said earnestly, "I knew it a long time ago. Although you are remote and unwilling to get in touch with people, you are a kind-hearted person. Even if you are angry, you will endure it."
