Chapter 178

Bella’s POV:

Twenty minutes later, Klein returned.

I looked at his leg and asked, “Klein, what’s wrong with your leg? Are you injured?” Klein laughed as he replied, “It’s fine. It’s just a minor injury.” “Is it because you kicked the door?” I stared at Klein’s leg, worried, Klein lowered his head, remaining silent for a moment. “The quality of your door isn’t bad.” At this time, he could still joke. I said, “Hurry up and go check your bones.”

“No need. I’m very strong.” Klein said.

I didn’t insist.

Then I asked in confusion, “It turns out that you‘re very familiar with Ella. Is Ella the friend you mentioned who owns an accounting firm?” NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Klein fell silent for a moment. “Yes.”

The world was too small. I didn’t accept the job he arranged for me, but the job I applied for was actually the one he introduced to me.”

“Was Ella the one who told you that I caught a cold?” I continued to ask. “You guessed it right again. That morning, you didn’t go to work, and they couldn’t reach you. So, Ella was worried about you, and she informed me.” Klein nodded.

Hearing this, I lowered my head and thought for a moment. Then I looked up and asked, “Did you ask Ella about my situation?”

Klein scratched his hair. “You’re alone in Wharton Mountain. I’m a bit… worried. I learned that you got a job in Ella’s accounting firm, so I asked her to pay more attention to you.”

Hearing this, I was a little touched.

In this city, I didn’t have anyone to rely on. Since I was almost raped by those two b*stards last time, I became very cautious.

I wouldn’t go out if it was too late, nor would I go to a secluded place. But I didn’t expect that I, who had always been in good health, almost died because of a high fever.

Klein had already saved me twice. I was very grateful to him. Although I didn’t love him, I should be grateful to a person who saved me twice. “Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to draw near to you. I just…I just…” Klein explained nervously. “I didn’t blame you. On the contrary, you helped me a lot. Thank you,” I said seriously. Klein was stunned for a moment, then suddenly lowered his head and laughed. Then I suddenly thought of the gift. “Did you send me the phone and watch?” Klein immediately denied it. “No, it wasn’t me.” I had been staring at him, trying to get an answer. Finally, Klein said, “I know that your phone was spoiled. It just so happened that it was time for me to

14:20 0 change mine, so I bought another one.”

I stared at him and asked, “You bought an extra phone when you bought your own. What about the watch? Have you changed your watch as well?”

As I spoke, I looked at Klein’s wrist.

When I was working in the law firm, I remembered that Klein was wearing Rolex. At this moment, his wrist was still covered with the same watch, and he hadn’t changed it.

Klein shook his head with a smile. “I bought… the watch when I bought the phone.” I lowered my head and smiled. “I’ll return the gift to you when I’m discharged from the hospital. But I happen to need the

phone. I can buy it from you. I’ll give you some money for that.” Klein was silent for a moment. “I can take back the watch, but don’t pay me for the phone, okay? Just take it as giving me some dignity. Don’t embarrass me too much.” “But…”

I wanted to refuse, but I saw the look of injury on Klein’s face.

I couldn’t bear it, but I didn’t want to violate my principles. “You helped me. In fact, I should give you a gift to express my gratitude.” I had no reason to accept his gift.

“You can do it in another way. Just give me a gift that is worthy of a few thousand in the future. You don’t need to draw a clear line between us, do you? I’m not a fierce beast. I won’t eat you!”

“Bella, although I admit that I like you, I still have my self-esteem. If you don’t want to, I won’t force you. You don’t have to be so wary of me!” Klein was a bit angry. He reached out and pulled the tie around his neck. I didn’t answer. I thought to myself, “In truth, what Klein said was right.” He expressed his love for me, but he didn’t force me. Moreover, he saved me twice. I should leave him some dignity. So, the next moment, I said, “I’ll take the phone. Thank you.” Klein’s tone became much better, and then he said, “I’ll peel an apple for you.” Afterward, Klein lowered his head and began to carefully peel the apple. Staring at him, I felt a complicated feeling in my heart. I thought of the person who once took care of me in the hospital… Klein took care of me in the hospital for a day and a night. I insisted to be discharged the next day and he only left after he sent me home. After Klein left, I looked at the new door and couldn’t help but laugh.

The wooden door was very solid. How much effort did he use to kick it open?

Near noon, I was a little hungry and went into the kitchen.

I opened the fridge and looked for some ingredients. When I opened the fridge, I was stunned!

There were a lot of vegetables, fruits, steaks, and other food in the refrigerator. My nose immediately felt sour. This must have been bought by Klein. I walked around the house and found fresh milk and some snacks.
