Chapter 353
Bella’s POV:
I must thank Herbert. If it weren’t for him, I would have gone to jail this time.
Ring... Ring.
At this moment, the phone in my bag suddenly rang.
I took out my mobile phone and thought it was Joey who called me to ask why I hadn‘t come home yet. However, when I looked down at the flashing mobile phone screen, I found that it was from Gary. I couldn’t help but smile and thought, “It must be that Lucas and Lucky miss me so much, so they pestered him to call me.”
I answered the phone and said with a smile, “Gary, is it...”

I couldn’t reach Mr. Wharton for the time being. Miss Stepanek, can you come over first?” “Alright, I‘ll be right there.” After hanging up, I immediately ordered Connor to bring me to Herbert‘s house.
When I arrived, Lucky was still crying. Gary said that she had taken the medicine.
I held her in my arms and comforted her. More than an hour later, her fever finally subsided, but it was already midnight. I couldn‘t go back tonight Seeing that I was very tired, Gary said, “Miss Stepanek, why don‘t you go to the guest room upstairs and rest? You can leave tomorrow morning.”
I had no other choice, and I was worried about Lucky, so I agreed.
I entered the guest room and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
Half an hour later, I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel.
When I left last time, I took away all my clothes. This time, I still had no pajamas to wear. It seemed that I could only sleep naked tonight.
I took a hot shower. I became sober and my head didn‘t hurt anymore. As soon as I drew the curtains, the door behind me was suddenly pushed open! Hearing the sound, I looked back as I stood in front of the dark green curtain and saw a person walking unsteadily
He held the door frame with one hand and stared at me, who was wrapped in a bath towel, with a pair of dark eyes, as if he wanted to see what was inside the bath towel.
Seeing that he suddenly came back, I quickly hugged my body, and my cheeks were hot. “You… why did you come in?”
“I‘d like to ask you, why are you here?”
“Lucky suddenly had a fever and Gary couldn’t reach you, so he called me and asked me to come over to take care of Lucky. It was too late, so ... am staying for a night.” I lost my confidence in the end, so I could only hold my body tightly with my arms. Fortunately, this bath towel was long
Herbert’s body was leaning against the door, and his eyes were fixed on me. I was a little nervous. In the end, I couldn‘t help but shout, “Now that you‘ve asked, can you go out?”
“How’s Lucky?” Herbert’s face was a little twisted, and his voice was weak.
I thought he was drunk, so I replied, “The fever has subsided. Gary took her to sleep.”
“That’s good.” With these words, Herbert covered his abdomen with one hand and strode forward.
Seeing him coming over, I was frightened. “What are you going to do?”
Herbert glanced at me from the corner of his eyes, then turned around and got on the bed. He leaned against the bed and said, “Don‘t worry. Even if the most beautiful woman in the world is standing in front of me now, I will not... be interested in her.”

Looking at the clock on the wall, it was already past one o’clock in the morning. It took him so long just to send someone back. These few hours were enough for them to do something.
Seeing that he was lying on my bed, I couldn‘t help but feel a little anxious. “Hey, your bed is next door!” Herbert covered his abdomen with his hand and grinned. “This is my home. I can sleep in any bed as I want!”
“Get out.” I stamped my feet angrily. If it weren’t for the fact that it was almost two o’clock in the morning, I would have left immediately.
Afterwards, Herbert was silent, and then he didn’t speak for a long time.
I turned to look at him. Herbert frowned and his lips were trembling
I felt that something was wrong with him. I took a few steps forward, stretched my neck, and saw that there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he looked like he was in great pain.
When I saw that he seemed to be sick, I didn’t care about anything else. I hurried forward and asked. “What‘s wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable?”
I looked him up and down, but I couldn’t figure it out.
“The medicine…” At this time, Herbert opened his mouth.
“What medicine?” I was stunned. I didn’t know what kind of medicine he was talking about, but I was clear that he was really sick, and he felt really uncomfortable now. My heart was inexplicably entangled.
“The stomach medicine…” Herbert reluctantly opened his eyes.
