Chapter 257 Listening to Others Like This?

Throughout the Spring Festival, Beatrice spent most of her time in bed.

Fortunately, Brenda and Monica kept her company and Odin often came over to chat.

I didn’t expect her to be discharged today. While she was packing things with Monica, Odin brought a woman

“Beatrice, are you okay?”

The woman waved her hand to say hello, revealing the wedding ring on her finger.

Beatrice gently brushed past, smiled at the stranger and said, “You are…”

over.

The woman hesitated and said, “Look at my memory, I forgot that you don’t remember now. I am Bella, Odin’s sister. We used to have a good relationship. I wanted to come and see you before, but my brother didn’t allow me.”

Odin replied, “She was recovering from her injuries, not playing around. Besides, aren’t you busy enough with the wedding preparations?”

Bella pouted, “Don’t even mention the wedding. I can’t believe there’s so much to do just to get married. Thankfully, Mr. Caden has been helping me every step of the way, otherwise I would be completely overwhelmed. But… who knows if you have ulterior motives?”

It sounds like a complaint, but happiness cannot be hidden on her face.

Upon hearing this, Beatrice smiled sincerely and when she spoke again, there was a sense of inexplicable relief in her tone.

“I know you, I have heard my mom often praise you, and I heard that you are getting married soon. Congratulations to you.”

Bella gently covered her lips and said, “I feel embarrassed hearing that.”

Monica smiled and said, “No need to feel sorry, you were already great.”

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

“I actually got discharged today, you don’t need to come over specifically.”

topic.

Bella thought for a moment and continued, “Actually, it’s quite a coincidence. Mr. Caden was discharged from the hospital today. He had caught a cold and had been running a fever. He wasn’t getting better, but finally recovered these past few days. I came to pick him up and, decided to come see you as well.”

As the words fell, the room fell into silence.

Beatrice had just zipped up her luggage when she glanced up and noticed everyone looking at her, seemingly with mixed expression

She furrowed her brows in confusion and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Bella asked cautiously, “Mr. Caden… don’t you remember?”

“Remember, the Baldwin family, Mr. Caden, your fiancé, who doesn’t know him? I am not only suffering from amnesia but also not foolish.” Beatrice laughed.

As she laughed without a care, everyone also laughed along.

Bella seemed to want to say something, but she was interrupted by Odin.

“Time is almost up, let’s go together.”

Monica quickly changed the subject, “Okay, let’s go.”

Beatrice nodded and reached for her bag, but to her surprise, Odin was one step ahead and picked it up for her.

“Let’s go.”

“Thank you,” Beatrice said, expressing her gratitude.
