Chapter 411
Bella‘s POV:
I didn‘t want to agree to my mother‘s request.
After all, Betty had made a big mistake in this matter. She had caused too much harm to the child and Hank.
In fact, Betty‘s current state was not suitable for seeing a child.
Anne, that poor child, had already suffered too much damage from Betty.
I lowered my head and replied, “Mom, Betty took the initiative to give up the right to raise Anne. And Hank would rather pay a huge price to divorce Betty.”
“Given their current situation, Hank won‘t agree to let Betty see her daughter. Besides, if Betty and Anne meet, I don‘t think it‘ll do much good to her illness. The most important thing now is to treat Betty and let her recover as soon as possible. At that time, she can appeal in court and get the right to visit Anne.”
“Looks like that‘s the only way. Bella, I hope you can help me with the thing about the sanatorium.”
My mother continued, “Just take it as I‘m begging you.”
“Okay.” I nodded.
Although I agreed to this under the pressure of my mother, I didn‘t know what to do for the time being. I didn‘t have any power, nor did I have enough money.
The richest person around me was Herbert.
But our relationship was awkward. How could I ask him for help?
I didn‘t hail a taxi. Instead, I walked back to the company.
Sitting in front of my desk, I was worrying about Betty going to the sanatorium when the phone on my desk suddenly rang. “Hello, this is an accounting firm.” I picked up the phone and said.
“Mrs. Stepanek, I‘m John Hall.” A male voice sounded from the other end.
Hearing this name, I quickly smiled and said, “Mr. Hall? Hello.”
It was the owner of the small company that I had dinner and sang with last night.
“I want to ask you how the case in our company is going.” Mr. Hall said with a smile.
“It‘ll be done tomorrow. I‘ll send someone to deliver the case to you as soon as possible,” I said quickly
“Alright, you really are quite efficient in doing things.” Mr. Hall said a few polite sentences.
At this time, I suddenly had an idea in my mind.
Although Mr. Hall was the boss of a small company, he had some connections, and he was very generous and helpful. It was better to ask him if he had anything to do with the person in charge of the sanatoriurn in the southern Suburbs.
Then, I smiled and said, “Mr. Hall, I have something I need your help with. I have no other choice.
Please help me.”
At that end, Mr. Hall laughed loudly and said, “Mrs. Stepanek, I admire you. If you have anything to say, just say it. As long as I can help. I will definitely help.” Hearing that, I said happily, “My sister was stimulated by the divorce. The doctor suggested that we bring her to a sanatorium in the southern Suburbs of A City, which specializes in treating mental illness. He said that the environment there is not
bad and it‘s very suitable for her to recuperate. But I heard that they only accept a very limited number of patients. Mr. Hall, do you have any friends there?”
As soon as my voice fell, Mr. Hall immediately said, “The sanatorium in the southern Suburbs? Yes, the director there happens to be my good friend. Leave it to me. I‘ll call my good friend right away. I promise. No problem!” When I heard these words, I was exceptionally happy. I hurriedly said, “Then thank you, Mr. Hall. In the future, I‘ll treat you to a meal.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
“It‘s not a big deal. Don‘t take it to heart. Wait for my good news.” After that, he hung up the phone.
