Chapter 134 Confrontation.
Belle Ye was sleeping, but she slept lightly. Her eyelashes quivered from time to time, and her body turned as well.
In the ward, the air was filled with the faint smell of medicine. The windows were open, and the pearly white curtains hung down to block the dazzling light. There was only one bed in the huge room, and on the table beside, were placed the flowers and fruits.
Nathan Luo was trying his best to hold his heart that was beating violently and nervous, but when he finally saw the familiar face in his memory and showed up in his dream constantly, all complex emotions were gone and left nothing but peace and serenity.
He walked to the bed gently and stared down at the eyes, the brows, her nose, and her mouth.
Belle who was asleep suddenly felt an acquainted warmth in the air. She slowly opened her eyes and saw a figure vaguely.
"N...Nathan?"She tried to maximize her eyes.
Brother? How could her big brother be here?
She rubbed her eyes and wanted to sit up from the bed, while a pair of hands reached to her back and helped her up, and then, for the next second, she was wrapped by a warm and spacious embrace.
The fresh fragrance of bamboo penetrated into her nose little by little. It was so familiar to her, because, for ten years of her brilliant life, she smelled it every single day.
"Belle, it's me." This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Nathan hugged her, feeling the trembling of her body caused by excitement. He crossed her shoulders with both hands and put his arms around her tightly, "I’m sorry, it took me too long...I’m so sorry..."
It was not a dream.
Tears gradually appeared in the wide-opened eyes of Belle, and she managed to trill with her hoarse voice, “I am not dreaming. Oh my god, Nathan..."
Nathan loosed his arms to take a close look at her haggard and flushed cheeks. He raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that fell from the corner of her eyes, while deep down, sorrow and regret, together with the excitement, occupied his mind as well.
"Silly girl, of course, it’s not a dream. Your brother’s here, Belle. I’m here." He barely smiled and touched the faint scar on her cheek with his fingers. "My Belle grew up, turning from a girl to a fairy lady."
Hearing his words, Belle buried her face shyly at first, but then thinking of something, her tears fell more urgently from the eyes, "Nathan...don't make fun of me...I know I am ugly now, and even I can hardly recognize myself when I look into a mirror..."
"Nonsense! My Belle girl is the most beautiful one in the world. See? I recognized you the second I walked in. I was thinking, you know? Who else could the beautiful girl be if it was not my Belle."
He flicked her forehead with his fingers slightly, pretending to be stern: "Come on, let your elder brother take a look." He held her chin and slowly lifted her face, "Good lord! How can a human being be as beautiful as you are? Ain’t you from another planet?"
The more sweet Nathan’s words were, the louder she cried. She finally could take off the armor, and at this moment, all the torture, pain, and grievance she had in those years were all burst out in the bigger brother of hers.
In this world, Nathan Luo was the only one who loved and cared for her in every possible way with no request and purpose.
The old times flashed back into Belle’s head, and she suddenly had an illusion of going back to the past. At that time, she was young, rebellious, and moody, while the housekeeper of the Luo family often complained about it to her brother. The housekeeper said that she was so playful that she smashed the priceless antique vase at home; that she was so naughty that she plucked the flowers and plants he planted; that she was so disobedient that she messed around in the study...
She still remembered that scene--
Looking at the pile of antique vase fragments in the living room, the serious brother of hers told the housekeeper seriously: "Nonsense! How well-behaved you wished a kid can be! Clean the fragments quickly, don't let it I hurt anybody."
Back then, she was ignorant and did not know where her parents were, but she never felt scared.
Because she had an excellent elder brother.
Nathan Luo gave Belle Ye the best life a girl could ever have, but he never indulged her. She can ruin all the valuable things at home, but she was not allowed to grab a single toy from the kid in the park, whether it was expensive or cheap.
"Nathan..."
"Alright, calm down, Belle. I’m here, and I will not leave you behind, never ever again." Nathan held her in the arms.
When Ethan Mo broke in from the outside, he happened to see the brother and sister embracing tightly, which pierced his eyes. He looked terrible. The pure white shirt was stained with blood, his hair was messy, and there seemed to be a few wounds in his face.
The dark eyes were filled with incomprehensible emotions, and the gaze directed at Nathan Luo was even more fierce and sharp.
Belle was startled by the sound of the door. She looked up and just in time to see Ethan come in hastily.
She did not expect that he would break in at this moment.
Before Ethan Mo could speak, several bodyguards with the same situation as Ethan came in. It seemed that they fought fiercely with him just now. They were full of anger and rushed to surround Ethan at once.
Belle looked at Nathan and spoke without thinking about it: "Nathan, don't fight in the hospital!"
Nathan Luo and Ethan Mo looked at her at the same time. The former was calm, but the latter seemed to have something flashed through the eyes of his.
"It’ll cause the doctors problem if they fight in here." She lowered her eyelids, and her tone was calm.
Nathan waved his hand without even looking at Ethan. "Take him out of the hospital."
"You’re trying to kick me out of my own ward?"
"Get the fuck out of my way."
He coldly bumped the outstretched hand of a bodyguard away and walked directly over to the bed with his long slender legs.
