Chapter 36 Peace of Mind


    Belle was physically exhausted, her body was covered in sweat, her cheeks glowed flushing from


    excitement. Calvin''s hand touched the sweat all over her body, his voice was low, with a bit of sulking,


    "Who told you toe to my rescue? I am a man, I don''t need a woman''s protection."


    His words were tinged with anger and he was even more distraught.


    The illusion that had just risen in Belle was shattered by his words; he was so frantic and restless


    because he was worried that she would be dependent on him after saving him.


    After all, the person he loves is Lexie and they will soon be married.


    "I didn''t save you on purpose, I was afraid that after you were injured, you wouldn''t be able to finish the


    design of the model and I wouldn''t be able to leave Harvey Corp, also, I was more afraid that I wouldn''t


    be able to find the two cars." With a bitter heart, Belle gritted her teeth and finished in one breath, as if


    she had used up all her strength, she went limp in Calvin''s arms.


    Calvin shuddered and lifted her head.


    Her face was white.


    "Tell me, what do you want with those two cars?" His eyes were dark, his tone cooled.


    Belle opened her eyes and quietly stared at Calvin, silent. But her heart ached.


    Calvin looked at the silent Belle, who was weakly lying in his arms, but her face was like dead ashes,


    but in her eyes was a lonely and resolute light. That light made him feel scared, and he didn''t even


    understand what she was thinking!


    Why was the light in her eyes so stubborn when she was obviously so weak?


    Perhaps she only treated him like this, but to another man she was as gentle and affectionate as a pet,


    not that she didn''t know how to be gentle, but just not to him.


    A vague anger rushed up again in his heart.


    But it was her hot back that clung to his palm, and the painful huff that her mouth tried so hard to hide


    made him remember the decision he had made in his mind during the day.


    Even if they were not meant to be husband and wife, they should not act like enemies.


    He pushed his anger down and tightened his arms around her again.


    The cold sweat on the woman was growing, soaking through even her hospital gown!


    He sighed, put her down and fetched a basin of hot water.


    As Belley limply on the bed, Calvin wiped her sweat and finally brought her a set of clean clothes to


    change into.


    Belle refused to let him change.


    But Calvinughed and joked, "I have seen any part of your body, I''m not going to eat you, it''s just a


    change of clothes. What can I do when you are in this state, it even makes me sick.”


    She turned her face away from him and ignored him, but she could not allow him to change her


    clothes, and then fell asleep in his arms.


    When Belle opened her eyes again, it was already dawn.


    There is a ray of bright sunlight nting in through the window, warming and gilding the ward.


    The ward was no longer so cold, and Belle felt the pain in her back getting heavier and heavier, so


    much so that every movement she made could make her gasp for air.


    Calvin is standing on the balcony on the phone.


    Not long after there was a knock at the door.


    Alfred walked in with a somewhat anxious demeanour.


    "Speak." Calvin walked in, ordered coldly.


    Alfred looked at Belle lying on the hospital bed and said in a somewhat heavy voice, "That man who


    built next to his house, his family members died of cancer one after another, and some experts said


    that it was all rted to the rubbish incinerator. In recent days, residents of Q Town have heard that the


    rubbish incinerator cannot be moved, can''t be moved to Castle Peak, just because there''s Camphor


    Vi there, so he med everything on the Harvey Group, got angry and tried to hurt you, wishing to


    attach the attention of government departments."


    Calvin was silent, his face somewhat obscure, and waved his hand as Alfred retreated.


    He lit a cigar and walked out onto the balcony. Belle watched his back, the bright sun shining on his


    body, and it looked forlorn.


    He walked in after smoking.


    "You must be hungry, I''ll ask someone to bring you food. You don''t go to work for the next few days."


    He spoke softly and with a smile on his face,pletely unable to see the bit of decadence he just


    had.


    Belle felt upset, but she could not say a word.


    "Thanks." A long timeter, she dropped her eyes, tilted her face with a smile.


    Calvin''s face froze in error.


    It seems that for the first time, he had seen her smile, different from the fake smile she used to put on,


    at least her expression is natural and real.


    His lips curled. This woman finally said thank you, although it didn''t seem very reluctant.


    "You were injured for me, it''s only natural to take care of you." Calvin had a faint smile on the corner of


    his mouth, but his tone was t, looking at the wrapped wound on Belle''s back, his brows wrinkled


    slightly.


    He sat down, looking into her eyes. This woman, even though she was hurt and even crying in his arms


    in the middle of the night, had clear and bright eyes now.


    After so many years of watching her get the cold shoulder from his mother at Harvey Corp, where even


    the workers didn''t treat her well, he deliberately left her alone, let alone intervened to take sides for her.


    Because of his hatred for her, he took apletely hands-off attitude and didn''t even give her a penny


    of money, and she made it through in the end.


    Her eyes were still clear, and that was mostforting to him.


    "Get well, in a few days it will be grandma''s birthday, I hope you can attend grandma''s birthday party,


    grandma has always been good to you." Calvin said in a warm voice.


    Belle''s heart was instantly reced by sourness, and after dropping her eyes in thought, she asked


    quietly, "Is Grandma well?"


    "Yes." Calvin replied seriously.


    Belle lowered her eyes before saying softly, "Alright, I promise you."


    The corners of Calvin''s mouth curled slightly, and if he remembered correctly, this was the first time in


    all these years that they had spoken so calmly and peacefully.


    "I''m going to work first, I''ll see you when I have time." Calvin nced at his phone and stood up,


    smiling at her as his long legs stepped away to walk outside.


    Calvin hurriedly walked away, and it was only when his slender back was no longer visible that Belle


    withdrew her gaze.


    From time to time in the morning Calvin would send people to bring all kinds of food, fruits and such.


    Belle''s wound was very painful and she had no appetite, so she just slept for a while.


    It was 11am when she woke up again, and Belle waszily lying on the hospital bed watching TV.


    The news on the TV was all over the ce about what happened yesterday in Q Town, and Belle


    suddenly though of something and called home.


    How sad and anxious would her Mum be if she read the news? Fortunately, Marry had pushed her


    mother out for exercise today and didn''t know about the news yet.


    So she called Marry and asked her to keep the truth from her mother. Marry was so worried that she


    asked questions and wiped her tears, until Belle swore that nothing was wrong, then she put her heart


    down. Then she said with excitement, “Miss. You mother is happy today, there was a handsome


    N?velDrama.Org copyrighted ? content.


    gentleman, saying he was a friend of yours in America, and kept your motherpany, and it was the


    first time I had seen your mother smile so brightly."


    Marry was talking with great interest over the phone, but Belle listened with astonishment.


    Friend in America? Who? Rhys shed quickly before her eyes, could it be him?


    The door to the room opened quietly and a man walked in, holding arge banquet of lily, the scent of


    the flowers immediately wafted over.


    Belle immediately felt her spirits lift.


    That''s Belle''s favourite flower.


    The petals are crystal clear, spotlessly white with water droplets on it, wafting with a fragrance.


    "Belle." The gentle but masculine Rhys walked in, his eyes looking deeply at her, his face full of worry


    and heartache, "How could something like this happen? I just saw it on the news this morning and was


    stunned."


    As he spoke, he ced the flowers in his hands at the foot of her bed.


    When Belle looked up, she saw his eyes filled with worry, warmth and concern, and a warm current


    flowed through her heart.


    He had known the news of her ident for a long time, but he had stayed with her mother all morning,


    had he done it on purpose, so that her mother wouldn''t know about her injury?


    It''s really not hard to understand why he would do such a thing, but how did he know where she lived?


    As if he could see what was on her mind, Rhys smiled. "You know all about it, right? I apanied


    your mother. Don''t worry, I just don''t want her to worry."


    He said it naturally, and Belle was momentarily embarrassed to ask him how he knew her home


    address.


    "Affected by yesterday''s incident, the Harvey Corp''s shares closed with several consecutive stops


    yesterday and the market was in a panic mood." The announcer of the financial channel on the


    television was broadcasting yesterday''s financial news in her calm and steady voice.
