Chapter 847
In the hospital ward, Roza lay weakly on the bed, hooked to an IV drip. The morning sunlight fell on her, highlighting her beautiful face.
“Roza…” Bella’s voice was gentle, her eyes welling up with tears as she looked at her frail apprentice. It was hard to reconcile this image with the carefree and cheerful Roza she knew.
“Master… Master?” Roza froze instantly, quickly tucking her hand with
the needle still in it under the blanket.
“What’s going on?!” Bella hurriedly took a seat beside the bed,
reaching out to hold Roza’s hand. She asked with concern, “How did
this happen? Who bullied you?”
Roza hesitated, unsure of how to respond. After a while, she said, “I’m
just dizzy due to low blood sugar. It’s not a big deal.”
“You’re still not telling me the truth now? Don’t you know you have a
heart condition? How long do you plan on hiding it from me?!” Bella’s
anger flared. Her face flushed with fury as she squeezed Roza’s hand
firmly.
“My brother said you received a call last night, and after answering it, you fainted due to emotional distress. Who called you? What did they say? Also, what happened at the nightclub last night?”
Bella’s questions hit all the sore spots. Her sharp intuition cut
through Roza’s excuses..
Roza frantically blinked, and her fingers tightened slightly in Bella’s palm. “Master, I didn’t mean to hide it from you. But I hope you can
give me some personal space. Let me have a little secret of my own.”
“No! No! No!” Bella’s heart swelled with indignation. Her eyes were ablaze with anger. “What stupid secret? You’re obviously being bullied, and you’re hiding it from me! I believe in revenge. Whoever dares harm someone close to me, I will pay it back to them a
hundredfold! You’re my beloved apprentice, so how can I just sit idly and watch you get bullied?”
“You can’t control this!” Roza’s chest heaved intensely. This was the first time she had spoken to Bella in such a fierce tone. “I’m begging you. Please don’t meddle in my affairs!”
Bella’s expression froze, and the light in her eyes slowly dimmed.
Leaving the ward, Bella looked pale. But Bella, being stubborn, felt even more compelled to understand what was happening the more Roza hid it from her. No matter what, Bella had to stand up for her apprentice!
Bella asked Steven to stay and settle some things while she and Axel
went to the cafe across the street from the hospital.
“Bella, I think Roza has some family issues. I don’t know if she has mentioned it to you before,” Axel said, lowering his gaze. He knew Bella had a sweet tooth and gently placed a cube of sugar in her
coffee, adding a touch of sweetness.
“No, Roza only said her mother was back in her hometown and that
she wasn’t in great health. Other than that, Roza has never mentioned
anything to me.” Bella replied, taking a deep breath. “She’s my most trusted friend, so I never considered investigating her background.”
“It’s not investigating, but rather understanding. You can only help her
once you fully understand her pain.” Axel explained, his gaze
