Chapter 761
“Well, I suppose I should trust you.”
“Ms. Bella, you’re back!”
Steven walked in hurriedly, still dressed in a suit, but with quite an
amount of flour on the front.
“Oh? Steve, you’re cooking?” Bella asked curiously.
“Yes. Madam Celeste and Ms. Amelia are in the kitchen, so I thought
I’d help out.” Steven seemed somewhat embarrassed and worried.
“What? Celeste is cooking in the kitchen?”
Mila stood up in shock. “Why didn’t you stop her? She just fainted in
the morning!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Bella’s heart skipped a beat. “Aunt Celeste fainted? I’ll look for her!”
Amelia stayed by her mother’s side in the kitchen. They were cookin
together.
“Mom, are you alright?” Amelia worriedly looked at Celeste’s pale fa
“I’m fine. We need to hurry up. It’s almost dinner time. It would be ba
for everyone to starve…” Celeste muttered in a daze while quickly
chopping vegetables.
Suddenly, she cried out.
“Mom! Your hand is bleeding!” Amelia was frightened and at a loss. She was on the verge of tears.
“Aunt Celeste!”
Bella and Steven arrived in time to see this scene. Seeing Celeste’s deep wound, Bella decisively said, “Steven, get the first aid kit from my room. Aunt Celeste has a deep cut on her finger. She needs stitches!”
“Yes, Ms. Bella!”
Steven quickly returned with the first aid kit, and Bella skillfully
stitched and bandaged Celeste’s finger.
Looking at Bella’s proficient stitching skills, Amelia was speechless with amazement. Her sister was like an invincible goddess. There was nothing Bella could not do.
Amelia felt weak and useless when she compared herself to Bella. Her mother was bullied and almost gravely hurt, but there was nothing she could do about it. Amelia had to hold back her tears in desperation.
“Ms. Amelia, please rest assured with Ms. Bella here.”
Steven leaned down, putting his warm hands on Amelia’s tremblin shoulders. He felt her heartache. “Madam Celeste prepared a few dishes. Let’s set the table.”
Amelia sensed that Bella wanted to talk to Celeste, so she wiped off her tears and obediently followed Steven out of the kitchen.
“Aunt Celeste, don’t worry. You’ve suffered so many grievances. We won’t let this slide.” Bella lowered her gaze as she bandaged
Celeste’s finger with gauze.
“Bella, thanks for the thought, but don’t do anything for me. I’m fine!” Celeste panicked, her gaze becoming unfocused and messy.
“Perhaps someone dared to target you twenty years ago, and now
she wants to repeat the same trick. She just has a death wish!”
Bella took a deep breath and suppressed the rising anger in her chest. “Since she wants to die so badly, I’ll make sure to fulfill her wish.”
Celeste suddenly returned to her senses and grabbed Bella’s hand, panting. “Bella… Do you know who did it?!”
“Yeah. I’m sure you can guess who it is too.”
Bella’s eyes flashed with pain. “You should have told Wyatt. How can
he sit idly by when his wife is being bullied?!”
“Bella, I don’t want any revenge… I only want our family to live in peace.” A tear fell from Celeste’s eyes.
