Chapter 6 Bella's decision

Bella shielded her head with her hands and shouted, "Use your brain to think! Do you think that ring was real?!"

Lanny stepped onto the bed in high heels and looked down at her, "Since you teased me with a fake ring, I must give you a lesson!"

Her eyes were like black holes, in which there was endless viciousness.

The temperature in the room dropped sharply.

Bella held her shoulders, and she was vigilant.

She felt that the wolf in Lanny's body would rush out at any time and kill her.

She felt her knees weaken, and she was overwhelmed by despair.

She closed her eyes in desperation, waiting for Lanny to hurt her.

"Bella, why do you make your sister angry again?" Mrs. White came in hurriedly.

Bella lost all her strength in an instant and slowly fell to the ground.

Mrs. White walked to Bella and said furiously, "Did you forget what I told you last night? Why did you ruin your sister's wedding party?"

Bella bit her lip, "I wore Lanny's old dress, attended the wedding party on time, and even swallowed her humiliation in front of so many people. I've done my best. She wanted to kill me for a fake ring just now. Can't you see that?"

"Oh! How ungrateful you are! Lanny wanted those decent gentlemen and ladies to bless you, but you said it was an insult!" Mrs. White blamed Bella with great disappointment, "Your father and I never ask you to be as awesome as Lanny, but you can't disgrace the White family."

Bella raised her head high, "Mom, you know I did those things for dad because he has heart disease."

She was humiliated because of her family, but they regarded her as someone ungrateful and awful.

It was unfair!

"Ha-ha." Lanny suddenly laughed out loud.

Her eyes had returned to normal.

Although Mrs. White blamed Bella unreasonably as soon as she came in, Bella knew she was safe because Mrs. White interrupted Lanny.

Lanny got out of bed gracefully, "Oh, Bella, I have to tell you the truth."

She pointed to her heart in a good mood, "Dad's heart is very healthy. I just made that excuse to fool you."

Bella looked into Mrs. White's eyes in disbelief, "Mom, is she right?"

Lanny leaned on Mrs. White's shoulder, "Poor Bella, you must think you're selfless, right? I'm so clever that you're being jerked around."

Bella gritted her teeth, "Mom, you lied to me."

"Shut up!" Mrs. White was impatient, "If you were obedient, I wouldn't have said those words. I'm your mother! Do you want to blame me?"

"Mom." Lanny said like a spoiled child, "She has never been as sensible as me."

Mrs. White touched Lanny's face, "Of course, I know you're the best. Come back to David with me. Don't let my son-in-law feel lonely."

"OK, mom." Lanny stuck out her tongue.

Seeing how close they were, Bella was grieved and mad.

She watched them leave with cold eyes, and then sat on the ground for a long time. In the end, she mechanically stood up and walked to the chair, like an electric doll that had finally been charged.

The bed was wet with the basin of ice water, but Bella was not in the mood to clean it up.

Bella leaned against the back of the chair, sleepless.

She didn't understand why her life had become so miserable.

In the past, she tried her best to be a good wife, but David divorced her. She trusted her parents very much, but they deceived her for her sister.

What on earth had gone wrong?

According to the weather forecast, it would be cloudy and windy that day. Citizens were reminded to keep warm when they went out.

Bella trod heavily, and her footsteps echoed in the house.

She rushed to Edward's room, raised her arm, and slammed the door.

When she slammed the door for the third time, the door was opened.

Edward appeared neatly in front of her.

"Good morning," Bella said aloud.

Yes, she did it on purpose.

If it weren't for the fake ring, Lanny wouldn't have wanted to kill her.

She just treated Edward with a bad attitude. He was lucky because she didn't wave her fist at him.

Edward was silent for five seconds, and then raised an eyebrow, "Good morning."

He looked at the two dark eye circles on Bella's face, "Did you have a nightmare indeed?"

Bella noticed her dark eye circles, too.

She didn't sleep all night. Of course, she would look haggard and have dark eye circles.

It was all Edward's fault.

She shook her hand, "It doesn't matter. I'm here to inform you that I've decided to move out of the house."

Yes, this was her decision last night.

Although she failed to think of a way to solve all the problems, she knew Lanny would kill her at any time if she still lived here.

Since Mr. White was in good health, she could be more willful.

"Well, I see." Edward nodded gently.

Bella asked him, "What are you going to do?"

She worried about Edward. She was not sure if Mr. and Mrs. white would allow him to live here after she left.

"I'm going to pack up after breakfast," Edward said.

Bella said quickly, "Are you leaving with me?"

She soon realized that she didn't make things clear, so she added, "It's my personal decision. No one else supports me. I don't have much money, which means that I can't buy a nice house or provide a good life for you."

Edward nodded, "That's a pity."

Bella breathed a sigh of relief.

She finally made him understand what she meant.

She said, "I will divorce you and then borrow a sum of money from my father as your compensation. It will be enough for you to live in a sanatorium."

Mr. White valued his reputation. If Bella insisted on divorcing and promised she would return the money to him, he would agree because he didn't want others to say that the White family didn't care about their disabled son-in-law.

Edward looked at her, "Are you going to abandon me?"

Abandon?

Bella's eyes widened.

The topic seemed to be getting strange.

Edward looked calm, "You think I'm a burden on your independent life, so you decide to send me to a sanatorium."

Bella immediately explained, "That's not what I mean..."

Edward interrupted her, "Yesterday, I saw in the newspaper that a patient was abused to death by a nurse in a sanatorium."

Bella lowered her head, "I'm sure I'll send you to a nice sanatorium."

Edward ignored her, "As a disabled man, I am not qualified to survive in this world. I won't become a burden to you, but I want to choose a way to die myself."

"Wait a minute." Bella raised her hand, "You don't have to commit suicide."

"Please go prepare breakfast. I don't have much luggage. I'll pack up soon." Edward said and closed the door.
