He Clings to Me Every Night

Chapter 624: Chapter 624: Trapped

She was indeed the mistress of the Marshall Family, yet she was being ousted by an outsider. Bella Thompson stared fiercely at Aria Douglas.

“Who do you think you are? Get out of this ward right now. It’s because of you that the old man’s condition worsened. It’s obvious you don’t want the old man to recover.”

Aria, with a face of innocence, defended, “Ma’am, didn’t you see the old man suffering from a severe headache? The doctor said that the old man shouldn’t be stimulated, or it will affect his health recovery…”

Suddenly, a crisp slap silenced Aria.

Caught off guard, even before she could react, Bella was slapped by Michael Marshall. Instantly, her face throbbed with fiery pain.

Instinctively, Bella tightly covered her swollen face. With teary eyes and a sense of injustice, Bella looked at Michael, “Husband, I am doing all this for dad’s well-being, I…”

Michael’s eyes flared with blazing flames as he seared Bella. His cold and rigid voice thundered, “Get out!”

“Husband, how could you hit me? Our many years of marital bond are less than an outsider? What wrong did I say, am I not the daughter-in-law of the Marshall family, isn’t it my responsibility to take care of dad?

Everything I did was for dad’s well-being. You’re being too unjust blaming me without discerning the right from wrong!”

Clearly, Michael’s fury was etched on his face. He glared fiercely at Bella, “Can’t you see the grimace of pain on dad’s face? Did you not see him complaining of a headache? Did you forget the doctor’s advice, or did you just dismiss it? You want dad’s condition to deteriorate, that’s why you come to provoke him every day!”

More and more tears began to pool in her eyes, unable to hold back, they overflowed from Bella’s eyes, trickling down her cheeks.

Bella’s lips trembled slightly as she stared at Michael without further rebuke.

This damn man truly disappointed her utterly, she also despised his incompetence!

At the time, how did she end up falling for such a scum?

Bella hesitated for a few seconds, the doctor and nurses rushed in to check on the old man. At this point, Michael, whose entire focus was on his father, had no room to consider husband-wife relations.

There was no place here for her and their son. With resentment, Bella Thompson pushed their son out of the old man’s ward.

Back in the car, the silent Matthew Marshall finally spoke.

“Mom, you fell into a trap.”

Bella Thompson looked stunned, her eyes clouded with tears focused on her son.

The deep eyes of Matthew flashed with a sharp light. He affirmed, “We were schemed against right after we left Beverly Hills. Dad’s coincidental appearance was not accident, someone had informed him in advance and the timing was calculated perfectly.”

Bella stopped crying, showing keen interest in her son’s words, “So someone is watching our every move, is it Daniel?”

“It may be Daniel. But it could also be grandpa.”

“Just now, I tested the old man. That album is his treasured possession, always cherished. He actually threw it on the floor, doesn’t seem like an act.”

“We shouldn’t rule out the possibility of a trick to gain sympathy. I always felt grandpa is very cunning. Mom, let’s stop visiting grandpa. You shouldn’t pin your hopes on him. He has always been on Daniel’s side. No matter how well we behave, he will never have a soft spot for us.”

Her son spoke wisely. Bella nodded in agreement.

Her son had grown intelligent and understanding, which comforted Bella.

Matthew looked lovingly at his mom, “Rest assured, I won’t let you suffer any humiliation again.”
