Chapter 80
Be‘s POV:
“I‘m leaving. Do you have anything to say to me?” Herbert suddenly said to me. What could I say to him?
I shook my head and said nothing.
“Okay, I‘m leaving!” There was a hint of anger in Herbert‘s voice. Was he angry again? I really didn‘t
understand why he was angry. After Herbert left, Miranda sighed. “Mrs. Wharton, don‘t be too stubborn.
Be gentle and only then will you be able to keep Mr. Wharton here.”
I didn‘t answer her. I couldn‘t help thinking, “Would he stay if I was gentle to him?” If I could make him fall
in love with me by being gentle and not stubborn, I was very willing to do that.
I was afraid that no matter what I did, he would only despise me.
In the following period of time, he did not appear again. Mother often came to apany me. Every time
she came, she asked me why she hasn‘t seen Herbert.
I didn‘t want mother to worry about me, so I always said that he was busy with his work, or that he went
to work in another city. Fortunately, mother didn‘t ask any more questions, because she had seen
Connor send things over a few times. Each time, he would say that he was ordered by Herbert to do so.
Mother said Herbert cared about me. Otherwise, she wouldn‘t often ask people to send things here, and
they were very valuable items.
In fact, I knew that Herbert didn‘t care about these little money at all. He was not a stingy person. He was
never stingy with the people around him. But being generous didn‘t mean that he cared. On Sunday,
Betty came to see me and told me a piece of news. “Sister, Hank has been asking me about your recent
situation.” Betty said as she was eating an apple. Hearing this, I frowned. “What Hank? He‘s your
teacher now!” Betty, however, was very stubborn. “It‘s too serious to call him Professor. It‘s better to call
him Hank.”
I didn‘t pursue the issue of how she addressed him, and then asked curiously, “Why was Hank always
asking about me?” Although I met Hank a few timesst time, it was also because of Betty‘s university
education. We haven‘t contacted each other for the past few months. “Probably because he knew you
were having a baby, he wanted to give you a gift.” Betty guessed.

1905 I said, “Didn‘t you tell him that the child was gone?” “Yes.” Betty said. So Hank knew that my child
was gone? Maybe Hank knew that I had experienced the pain of losing my child, so he was worried
about me? In fact, I was very grateful to Hank for his concern, but I couldn‘t get too close to him. Firstly, I
didn‘t want to let Herbert misunderstand me, and secondly, I didn‘t want to give Hank any hope, because
I wouldn‘t fall in love with him.
After a while, I said to Betty, “If he asks you again, just tell him that my body and mood have recovered
very well, and I have a very good rtionship with my husband.” “Alright, I‘ll just say it to him.” Betty
agreed. After that, Betty told me a lot of interesting things about NF University. Of course, more than half
of the interesting things were rted to Hank. It was as if Betty‘s eyes were shining when she mentioned
of Hank.
I vaguely felt that my sister Betty seemed to have a good impression of Hank, but I was not in the mood
to care about this at the moment. I was thinking about my worries and that deceased child every day.
More than half a month passed quickly. My body was getting better, but I was still in a bad mood. On this
afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the sun during the winter was very warm. Miranda said, “The
weather outside is very good. Why don‘t you go out for a walk?” “I still feel listless.” I sat on the sofa,
thinking about something else. A month had passed. Would Herberte back and propose a divorce to
me? In fact, I was looking forward to this day because I could bepletely free. But I was afraid that
this day woulde, because it meant that we would not have any contact anymore. “It‘s sunny today.
Take a walk and you‘ll be in a better mood.” Miranda tried to persuade me. In the end, I listened to
Miranda‘s words. After all, life had to continue. It was indeed not good for me to be in such a bad state
every day. I had to take care of my mom and sister‘s lives in the future. I had to get better as soon as
possible. I changed into a sky–blue dress. When I looked at myself in the mirror, I felt a little better. I went
out in a pair of white t heels. As soon as I walked out of themunity, I looked around and didn‘t
know whether to walk left or right. Suddenly, I heard a voice. “Be!”
Hearing someone calling my name, I looked back and saw the gentle Hank standing more than ten
meters away from me.
I was stunned and watched as he walked up to me. “How are you feeling?” Hank asked. “I‘m fine.” I tried
my best to keep my smile, but I was still very weak when I spoke. “You don‘t look good.” Hank said.

19.050 I touched my cheek and said with a smile, “It will be better after a while.” Hank was trying to care
about me. Of course, I could feel it. I was very touched.

But I couldn‘t be with him, so I chose to keep a distance from him as much as possible.
“Why are you here?” I asked.
Hank said, “I‘ve been very worried about you recently, but I don‘t have your contact information, so I
here for a walk. I didn‘t expect that I would be so lucky to meet you today!”
Hearing this, my feelings wereplicated. After a few seconds of hesitation, I quickly said with a smile,
“Actually, you don‘t have to worry about me. My husband is very kind to me...”
Before I could finish my words, Hank stepped forward and held my shoulder. “Is he nice to you like this?”
“He sent me to the best hospital, bought me the most expensive food, and hired a professional servant to
take care of me. Isn‘t that nice of him?” I stared at Hank.
I was the only one who knew how contrary my words were. I just wanted his sincerity, but it was just an
illusion to get the sincerity of such a man.
