Kill Me, Heal Me

Chapter 28 Refuse

Belle was brought up by Nathan .

When she was young, she was abducted and sold by a trafficker. On the way, she met Nathan, who was a student at the time, and he saved her from the trafficker. But at that time she was too young to remember where she lived. She was cold and hungry, fell into his arms and burst into a rage of tears.

The bond between her and the Luo family was formed at that moment.

At that time, she couldn’t remember the way home, her parents’ names, and she didn’t carry anything that could prove her identity. She only vaguely remembered a word "Ye". After adopting her, Nathan gave her a name, Ye Luo, and a nickname Ye’er. He took her with her, treating her like his own sister and teaching her carefully.

Everyone thought she was Nathan’s sister, and Belle did think so. Since she could remember things, she lived with Nathan. He taught her how to be a kind man, taught her piano, painting and calligraphy, and taught her about this bustling and complicated world.

Belle had a proud and arrogant temper, because she was completely spoiled by Nathan.

Nathan treated her as a little princess. He granted her whatever she wanted. She lived a wealthy and decent life. Belle was with Nathan for more than ten years, and lived a safe and happy life.

Until she was at the age of thirteen, the Ye family finally found her whereabouts and took her back to the Ye family. Since then, the Luo family in Jing City lost a pretty and arrogant little miss, and the Ye family in Gang City brought back a young lady who missed for many years. Her life didn’t change much. Nathan even bought a luxury villa for her in Gang City and spent most of the time in Gang City to stay with her every year.

Nothing changed.

In addition, there were two more people around her, who were destined to entangled with her for a lifetime. One was May Ning, her friend, and the other was Ethan Mo, who pursued May Ning.

As for Levi, there was no trace of him in Belle’s memory before they met. The brief encounter when she was young had been buried deep by the dust of the years. If it wasn’t for the fact that Levi still remembered the scene before very clearly, Belle already couldn’t recall ever seeing him. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

It was like a dream.

She lowered her eyes, trying to suppress her humbleness that was raging. Her voice was light, "I was taken in by brother Nathan when I was young, and when I found my family, I left the Luo family and went back with my parents. Then brother Nathan went abroad, and we haven’t seen each other for a long time."

When she was 16 years old, the Luo family’s headquarters in Manhattan, New York, called Nathan back to inherit the family business. Then they were separated. On the day of parting, Belle didn’t go to the airport to see him off. Nathan asked the housekeeper to take a letter to her. In the letter, he said that he could stay home to be with her. He told her to study hard and go to the U.S. to study after high school and he would wait for her there.

The appointment was always beautiful.

After that, they were still in constant contact with each other, and there was no decrease in their affection. But she was no longer the little girl who only followed behind her brother. Belle’s focus of attention was completely placed on Ethan! Like a flying moth darted into the fire, she burned her pride and innocence to ashes.

Levi kept silent for a moment, guessing a part of the story from Belle’s words, but there were still many hidden things that he didn’t know at all.

"Then he doesn’t know you are here?"

Belle shook her head, and barely forced out a smile, "We haven’t seen each other in years. If he knows that his sister was useless, he must be mad. Mr. Song, if you meet him, please help me keep it secret. Don’t let him know that I am here."

She had no courage to meet him.

Levi frowned, and subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with her words, "Aren’t you going to leave with me? You can rest assured. I and your brother have been friends since childhood, and his sister is my sister. This place is not suitable for you to stay, and your health. It seems that you need to go to the hospital to nurse it?"

The word nurse was too implicit.

Her physical health may not be able to restore even if Hua Tuo (a famous Chinese medicine doctor) was alive.

"No." Belle interrupted him and took two steps back, thanking him humbly and sincerely, "Mr. Song, thank you. I’m sorry. I can’t leave with you. I still have to work. Excuse me."

After bowing slightly towards him, Belle turned and walked to the private room.

"Wait." Levi stopped her, and he looked bad, "It has been settled. Why are you still going back?" If it wasn’t for Nathan, he wouldn’t spend so much time talking to her. However, the woman dared to refuse his help?

Was she kidding?

Was she more willing to stay here as a bar girl than to leave here with him? To be a ugly woman that could be humiliated by anyone?

At this moment, Levi’s impression of her was suddenly ruined, and the beauty left to him when she was young disappeared. He forgot that people would change, especially in society, the big dye vat, and she might have become unrecognizable to his parents.

"You stay here for money?" He remembered the money scattered on the ground in the private room, and his face darkened.

Belle shook and turned pale in an instant. She opened her mouth, trying to defend herself.

"Yes, for money. I need money now." She looked up and looked at him for the last time without sorrow and joy, "Thank you for helping me, but I did not promise you to leave together. Mr. Song, to be honest, I can’t get any benefit from leaving with you. Although staying here is hard for me, at least I can still earn money..."

"Money, money. All you know is money!" Levi’s complexion changed suddenly, and the warmth in his eyes was replaced by contempt. He gave her a fierce look, and frowned upon her, "Nathan was so blind. He didn’t expect that he cultivated you for ten years and you have become a vulgar woman who only love money. Are you willing to do anything for money, even to prostitute?"

Belle forced herself to be calm, "Yes, as long as they give me money, I’m willing to do anything."

So, got out of here quickly, and ignore her, a foolish woman who couldn’t be saved. She was greedy and insatiable, and she didn’t know what dignity was. No one could save her. Just let her rot here and never appear in front of them again.

Belle lowered her head, her eyes stinging as if something had slipped out of the corner of her eye and dripped onto the black and white marble floor.

Her lower lip was bitten by herself and was stained with blood. For a moment, she wanted to take back her previous words, wanted to tell Levi that she didn’t want to stay here at all. She wished that she could leave with him right away. Even if she didn’t have a single penny, she was willing to leave.

But she suddenly sobered up, could she really escape from here?

The answer was no.

Ethan was so powerful that he surprised her five years ago. Belle didn’t know how powerful he was five years later. But she could be sure that as long as she was still in Gang City, she couldn’t escape from Ethan.

Her future was in his hands.

And Levi, he was the first person to recognize her after she returned and offered to help her. Belle was grateful to him, but she couldn’t get him involved. With the situation just now, she could tell that the force behind Levi was obviously weak than that of Ethan. She could not harm Levi because of herself.
