Chapter 253 Jean’s Friend, Bella Patterson

Lilly looked at Bella and felt that her behavior was strange.

Jean said in surprise. “It’s Bella…”

Lilly whispered, “Mommy, is she your friend?”

Jean recalled and said, “Yes! 1 used to be treated in the hospital. When I could get out of bed and walk

around, I would go for a walk in the garden.” It was at that time that she met Bella.

During the chat, Jean found out that Bella also had leukemia. She looked sad and said that she wanted

to give up the treatment.

“I asked her why and encouraged her not to give up. She said her family sold their car and house to

treat her illness. They were originally an ordinary family in a small town, but they used most of the

money for her illness…”

Jean sympathized with Bella. Seeing that Bella wanted to give up treatment and choose to be

discharged from the hospital, her father squatted aside without saying a word, and her mother wiped

her tears silently. Jean was soft–hearted, so she paid Bella’s treatment fee for that time.

“It was a month later the second time I saw Bella. She returned after the last treatment, and it was time

for chemotherapy. Bella made a fuss about not coming for treatment, but her father sold his blood for

her treatment, and her mother begged her…”

Bella told Jean that she felt envious to see Jean living in a VIP ward and enjoying the best medical

resources and would never worry about money. Bella said she was different. She was ready to die at

any time and even committed suicide and set her parents free.

“I thought they were pitiful. I gradually became friends with Bella. Later, I paid for her hospital

treatment.”

After all, money meant nothing to Jean at that time. She was not God, but she saw the same despair in

Bella. She hoped that others would be well. Seeing others well seemed to give her a glimmer of hope.

Lilly finally understood.

“The last time was probably when I was lying down and couldn’t even get up. She came to find me and

said goodbye to me while crying. I asked her what was wrong, and she said she had found a suitable

bone marrow match. But the entire bone marrow replacement and chemotherapy will cost several

million. She can’t afford it.”

“Why is God so cruel? He gave us hope.but made us despair again. I might as well not have heard this

news…” Bella said it at that time.

Jean was also waiting for the right fit and knew the feeling of waiting for this glimmer of hope in despair.

How many terminally ill blood cancers died while waiting for matching? And so would she.

Jean had no other thoughts but hoped that one more person would survive. What a pity to find a

suitable match but give up because of a lack of money. So Jean asked Anthony for help.

Jean looked at Bella in front of her. Bella seemed to be healed now, but Bella was a little different from

what she remembered. Maybe she became a ghost and could see things more clearly.

Anthony lowered his eyes slightly and said lightly, “No need. Just live your own life.”

He almost forgot about it. He gave Bella money only to do good deeds and accumulate virtue. He only

hoped that Jean would wait for the right match as soon as possible.

However, Bella was not satisfied with his answer and even more uneasily rubbed her clothes while

stammering, “Mr. Anthony, I came to thank you all. I… I can do anything to repay! I’m so lucky to know

Jean. Now I’m better, but Jean…”

Her eyes turned red, and she begged, “So I want to do what I can. If I don’t repay your kindness, I feel

uneasy…

Bettany stood up and said lightly, “How do you want to repay us? Be my daughter and replace Jean?”

The Crawford family gave her money for treatment, but she wants to be the daughter of the Crawford

family! She’s so greedy!

Bella panicked and knelt. “No, Mrs. Crawford, you misunderstood! I never had such a thought! I just

want to take care of you for Jean. It’s fine if you agree with me to join the Crawford family as a maid. I

want to repay you all! Please…”

Bella’s attitude was extremely humble, and she kept begging.

Lilly suddenly interrupted, “Aunty, do you want to take care of Granny or Uncle Anthony? Why do you

always secretly look at Uncle Anthony?”

Bella’s lowered eyes secretly looked at Anthony from time to time. Adults were taller and could not see

it, but Lilly was a child. She could see it as soon as she looked up. This aunty’s eyes aren’t honest at

all.

Bettany was speechless. How dare she covets my son?

Bella froze and quickly denied, “No, I didn’t… I was just afraid that Mr. Anthony would be unhappy…”

Lilly kindly reminded Bella, “But in our family, Granny is the boss!”

Bella bit her lips anxiously. “Ah… I’m sorry. I was wrong… I don’t understand these rules.”

She knelt to Bettany. “Mrs. Crawford, I’m sorry!”

Bettany walked aside speechlessly. It seemed like they were bullying Bella. Bettany regretted it to

death. In the beginning, everyone’s attention was on Jean, and every time Bella looked for Jean, it was

when they were not around.

Bettany did not even know that Bella was such a person. She would never have agreed to let Bella visit

if she knew about Bella.

“Bella, get up first. Sit down and talk,” Bettany said to Bella while looking at Jack. She signaled him to

drive Bella away in a proper way.

Bella shook her head. “No, I won’t sit. My clothes are dirty and old. Don’t make the sofa dirty…”

After that, she looked around enviously and cautiously. It turns out that Jean’s house is like this… It’s

like the one shown on TV. I’ve never seen it… Unlike my house, my house is small and dirty…”

Bettany was speechless.

Lilly suddenly asked, “Aunty, is your house not hygienic? Why don’t you wash your clothes? Why don’t

you clean up your house? Why do you get the sofa dirty just by sitting on it?”

Bella choked.

Lilly suddenly realized. “I sec. You don’t have the habit of bathing and washing clothes, right? Aunty,

this isn’t a good habit! There will be lice growing on your head! You should change the habit…”

Everyone suffocated their laughter. It was great to be a child!

Jack smiled slightly, “Ms. Patterson, family circumstances cannot be compared. Mrs. Crawford will go

out later. I’d better send you back!”

Bella looked embarrassed. She bit her lips, and her face turned pale. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have

come. I disturbed you all. I’m sorry…”

With tears in her eyes, she lifted her eyelashes, looked at Anthony, and quickly lowered her head in

shock.

“Mr. Anthony, sorry for annoying you…”

Bettany was tired of listening to Bella keep belittling herself while apologizing.

This kind of person should be driven away! I won’t let Bella step into the Crawford family anymore!

Bella lowered her head and twisted her clothes. According to the logic, when others heard her words,

they would say politely. “We don’t hate you.” Then, they would ask her to sit to show that they did not

mean to

hate her.
