Female Novel
Chapter 2751
Hunter glanced at his wife in despair and closed his eyes.
He was in immense pain.
Belinda was not angry at Hunter for not looking at her. She walked to the windows again and stared
outside.
Her mind wandered off.
If Patrick had been willing to be with her, help her, and marry her back then, her life would have been
complete and filled with happiness. Unfortunately, he was only loyal to Tiara.
Even if Tiara had gotten married to someone else, had children, and eventually passed away, Patrick
would refuse to follow her and choose to disappear instead.
Decades had passed, and Belinda was already seventy years old. Patrick was probably dead by now.
Why was she still worried?
At that moment, Belinda’s phone rang.
It was Caroline.
Belinda answered the call after a silent pause.
“Mom.”
Caroline said, “Are you okay, Mom?”
She asked about her mother first instead of Hunter’s injury.
Belinda said calmly, “It can’t get any worse. What’s there to not be okay about? You all are adults, and
I’m an old woman. I can get over your dad having another woman.”
Hunter would not be able to touch another woman anyway.
What was there to be worried about?
“You haven’t eaten anything all day, Mom. Should I send some food over?”
“No.”
Belinda rejected the offer at first. However, she changed her mind after some thought. She said, “Get
some food for me. Keep it simple. I’m not in the mood to eat now. Just a few sandwiches will do.”
Caroline replied, “You’ll be tired from taking care of Dad in the hospital. How can you eat so little? You’ll
grow hungry and tired easily.”
After a brief silence, Belinda said, “Your late aunt also ate sandwiches the morning before she passed
away. She said having something simple after having all sorts of fancy food hit different.”
“Okay. I’ll get the sandwiches for you.”novelbin
Caroline hung up without saying more.
She did not let Belinda wait for long and arrived at the hospital half an hour later.
After knocking on the ward’s door, Caroline entered and saw her father in bed with a pale and painful
expression. Although she had something to say, she kept quiet in the end.
Hunter opened his eyes and looked at his biological daughter.
His gaze was filled with anticipation and some pleading. He hoped she would persuade Belinda to get
the doctor to give him painkillers. The pain was excruciating.
Although he was a live-in son-in-law without much money and an allowance of less than five hundred
dollars daily, he led a lavish lifestyle. All his requests would be satisfied after the butler asked for
Belinda’s permission.
Aside from not having much allowance, he did not lack anything else.
When had he ever suffered such pain after being pampered for decades?
Belinda glanced at Hunter and told Caroline, “Go sit in the lounge. Your dad needs a quiet rest. He
can’t eat anything for now. Besides, he won’t feel hungry while on the IV drip.”
