Chapter 180 Heart of the Ocean
Chapter 180 Heart of the Ocean
"Quick, bring a chair." Sophia stroked Belle’s hand lightly, and said to Ruth.
"Yes, Ma’am." Ruth understood Sophia’s thoughts and smiled slightly. She moved a soft stool and
placed it in front of her bed. Then she pulled Belle to sit down, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Harvey,
Ma’am thinks about you every day. She misses you even more than her own grandson. She’s really
excited when she sees you today, so please talk with her more."
After Ruth finished speaking, she brought hot tea and put it aside.
"Thank you." Belle nodded and thanked her. Ruth smiled kindly and walked out.
There were only them two left in the bedroom.
"Grandma, how are you?" Belle stretched out her other hand and held Sophia's hand. She sat down on
the stool, facing Sophia. She smiled and said warmly. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Sophia held Belle’s hands tightly, for fear that she would fly away.
"Belle, you've suffered a lot. Look, you've lost a lot of weight. We’re sorry for you. I haven't protected
you well." Sophia said with pity on her face, tears coming out of her eyes.
Belle was stunned. What happened? These things had nothing to do with Grandma! So Belle hurriedly
took a tissue to wipe her tears, and softly comforted, "Grandma, you are thinking too much. You are
very kind to me. Except for Mom and Dad, you are the best person who are kind to me in the world. I’m
so grateful to you."
Belle said sincerely. How lucky she was to have such an old man in this world who cared for her so
much!
"Good girl." Sophia held Belle’s hands tightly, sighed deeply, and stopped talking about this topic. After
a while, as if thinking of something, she asked nervously, "Belle, how is my son?"
Belle knew Grandma would care about this, and also guessed why she asked her to come here. Belle
had already prepared it. She smiled and said with relief, "Grandma, please rest assured. The operation
was successful, but the follow-up recovery will take a while. It’s very likely that he can wake up. So
Grandma, don’t worry. His hands can move these days. The doctor said it was a sign of getting better."
Belle tried her best to speak lightly and slowly, with a relaxed and happy look on her face.
Sure enough, the dullness on Sophia's face just now was swept away. She smiled and tears also
stopped. She muttered excitedly, "Thank God, Hudson, get well soon! Calvin needs you now. It’s your
luck that you have met such a good daughter-in-law. You have to be grateful to her in the future."
Sophia was blushed with excitement. She held Belle's hands even harder. Belle felt Sophia’s
excitement. Hearing what she said, Belle was also so happy.
"Grandma, don't get too excited. Don't worry. Everything will be fine." Belle put her head close to
Sophia's ear and comforted quietly.
"Yes, yes, everything will be fine." Sophia smiled and said again and again. She couldn’t calm down.
"Belle, thank you." Sophia looked at Belle and said lovingly.
Belle smiled, and said softly, "Grandma, you really don't need to thank me. Mr. Hudson’s fainting three
years ago has something to do with me. I just want to do my best to make up for it. "
Belle said with a hint of apology on her face.
"No, it's not your fault. I believe in you." Sophia said firmly when she heard Belle's words of remorse,
and shook her head.
If Belle could forgive her grandson for her sake, she would rather die.
"Grandma, you believe in me?" Listening to Sophia's affirmative words, Belle felt so warm and the tears
were about to come out. Gaining Grandma's trust was better than getting everything.
"Of course, I've never blamed you." Sophia said sincerely, held her hands tightly again and then let
them go. Then she fumbled under the quilt. After a while, she took an ordinary black bag out.
What was this? Belle wanted to cry. She didn't understand what Grandma was going to do, so she just
looked at her in a daze.
After a while, Sophia took out a wooden box from the black bag, and opened the wooden box with
trembling hands. A dark red delicate brocade box appeared in front of Belle. This brocade box was
relatively large and made of precious wood. It looked old.
Belle was very surprised and didn't know what it meant.
"Come on, Belle, this is for you." Sophia stretched out her hand to her. Belle handed her hands over.
Sophia grabbed her hands, stuffed the brocade box into her hand, and said solemnly.
"Grandma, what is this?" Belle asked in amazement.
"Belle, open it and take a look." Sophia smiled and encouraged.
Belle was puzzled and looked at the brocade box in her hand, but didn’t open it. Intuitively, she felt it
should be a very precious thing in it. Was Grandma going to give it to her?
On the day of her birthday, Grandma gave her the inheritance of Harvey Mansion, which made her
puzzled and embarrassed. She didn't want the inheritance of Harvey Mansion. But Grandma was very
determined and must give it to her.
Belle tried to refuse, but Grandma was so angry, insisting that she had to accept it.
Although Belle accepted it, she was uneasy. She didn't want to accept gifts from others. Besides, it was
such an expensive gift. The inheritance of Harvey Mansion was not something that ordinary people
could get. How could she inherit it! No gains without pains. After all, she divorced Calvin and was are
no longer from this family. What qualification did she have to inherit such a valuable property?
But Sophia was determined to give it to her. She still didn't understand what Grandma meant to this
day.
Now, what would it be?
Why did Sophia treat her so well?
In fact, from the very beginning, Belle felt so confused to Sophia's kindness to her. She believed that
she was not the kind of standard good daughter-in-law for the wealthy family, and she couldn't bring
some benefits to the Harvey family. Sophia's special favor for her even more made her feel
embarrassed, so she had refused.
It was just that she couldn't refuse.
Maybe this was fate!
Thinking about it, Belle became more uneasy.
"Belle, open it." Seeing that Belle was just holding the brocade box in a daze and didn't want to open it,
Sophia knew what she was thinking, so she kept urging.
Belle looked up and saw that Sophia was eagerly looking forward to. Feeling warm, she pursed her lip
and slowly opened the brocade box.
The lights shot out from the brocade box, making her dazzle.
Belle's eyes widened. She sat in a daze.
Inside the brocade box was such a big diamond, which was amazingly large, at least forty or fifty carats
in weight. It was deep blue and so beautiful. The light it emitted lit up the bedroom. Belle was stunned
by its light. Her mind was rumbling. In the splendid glow, she clearly saw a fierce light on the diamond.
Such precious jewelry had been robbed by many people. How much blood had been shed for it!
Belle trembled in shock. She hurriedly closed the brocade box.
"Grandma, you are..." She looked at Sophia nervously, her voice trembling.
"Belle, this is Heart of the Ocean, a precious diamond. There are only a few left in the world. It is also
the family heirloom of the Harvey family. It is usually only given to the eldest child's wife." Sophia said.
Then she cupped Belle’s hands which were holding the jewel, and said solemnly with a slight trembling,
"Belle, four years ago, when you married Calvin, I should have given it to you, but at that time, Calvin’s
parents didn't like you and Calvin was against it. At that time, I was afraid that it would cause
everyone's disgust and bring disaster to you, so I didn't give it to you. Today, although you already
divorced Calvin, I’m happy to give it to you. No one can know what will happen in the future. In my
heart, you will always be Calvin's wife. No one can replace you. It's just that the world is unpredictable.
There are some things that I’m powerless to do. I don't want the jewelry to fall into those people who
have ulterior motives. If so, Harvey Mansion will not be peaceful. I have made this decision today to
give it to you. Please keep it well no matter what happens. It can’t fall into others’ hands. Belle, don't
tell others. Keep a low profile. I believe you will keep it well, and only you are worthy of it."
Sophia almost finished speaking in one breath. After she finished speaking, she panted.
"No, no, I can't accept such a precious gift." Belle jumped up in shock and stuffed the brocade box to
Sophia. She was so shocked.
How could she accept such a precious gift!
No, it must be a dream!
Belle shook her head in disbelief.
"Belle." Seeing that Belle refused to accept the gift, Sophia instantly showed sadness and grievance on
her face. The hope in her eyes just now dimmed. Her voice was much older, "Belle, you have a grudge
against me and don't believe me, so you don't want to accept my stuff."
Sophia looked very sad and even a little decadent. Her mood went down.
"No, it's not like that, Grandma!" Belle's heart beat wildly again. She waved her hands, and said
nervously, "Grandma, I really don't deserve such a precious thing. Now I'm divorced from Calvin and is
not the daughter-in-law of the Harvey family at all. You can't give such a precious thing to me. Only
Calvin's wife can have it. I can’t accept it. Otherwise, I will be uneasy."
Belle really didn't want Sophia to be sad, so she explained as clearly as possible.
In the Harvey family, she was nobody now. Although she had promised Calvin that she was willing to
remarry, they hadn’t been married yet. It was unreasonable to accept such a precious thing. This was
not ordinary jewelry. That was the family heirloom of Harvey Mansion. How could she accept it!
