The Clutches Of Hell Novel

Chapter 44

“Am I joking?” Christian snorted, then tapped on the tissue a few times. “It is indeed wasteful to lay out the tissue every time. Prepare a cushion yourself the next time you sit in my car.”

Bella froze for a split second before smiling. “It is warmer with a cushion now that it’s getting cold. How attentive of you, Christian.”

Christian snorted enigmatically in response. Just then, his phone rang coincidentally, and he answered it. After that, no one said anything about the cushions again.

After the car pulled up at the hospital entrance, Victoria got out of the car, gathered the tissues she had spread out into her coat pocket, then brought the wheelchair out with some difficulty.

“I was supposed to get you a couple of outfits, but you ended up doing all this. I’m really sorry.” Bella looked up and smiled at Victoria while sitting in the wheelchair. “How about this? The housekeepers in my family earn twenty thousand a month; that’s about seven hundred a day. We’ll consider today an entire day. I’ll give you seven hundred later.”

“Well, thank you, Miss Spritz. It just so happens that I’m short on money this month.” Victoria forced herself to tug a smile. Bella had a thousand ways to disgust her.

With that, she pushed the wheelchair into the hospital. Throughout the entire journey, Bella chatted with Christian while she walked behind them like—as Bella had insinuated—a maid.

Many people were in the hospital, and the trio lined up to get into the elevator.

Meanwhile, several relatively young female students would turn around and sneak a peek at the trio every now and then, mumbling…

“Whoa, this guy here is really hot. Look at his face, his physique, and his temperament. He’s literally the male lead in romantic dramas!”

“His girlfriend is also really gorgeous. They’re such a match. It’s a pity that she’s disabled.”

“Sure, they’re a perfect match, but did you notice the caretaker they hired? How can she be so pretty too? Her outfit’s pretty tacky, though.”

Bella could no longer keep her smile when they called her disabled, and a hint of malice flashed across her eyes quickly as she looked at her barely immobile leg.

Christian swept his gaze across the chatty girls and frowned barely visibly.
