Love The Handsome Heir

Toxic Bullets

“Halo. What did you call me, Arthur?”

Belle tries to calm herself down when a man receives a phone call he made using Arthur's phone. His entire body shook with panic that had engulfed his mind since he had found Arthur in a state that was not okay. Belle is confused as to how to explain Arthur's current condition.

“Arthur!” The voice of the man from the cell phone is still heard calling Arthur's name.

“If you don't say what you need right away, I'll close this call. There are still many patients who need my help here,” continued the man across there.

“No! Don't close this call, Mister!” prevent Belle.

“Who are you?”

Belle bit her lips hard. After gathering courage, Belle said, “I'm Belle, Arthur's friend. Arthur's at my restaurant right now, sir. She's dying.”

“I know Arthur has no friends in Barcelona. You stole this phone from him, didn't you? What do you want by calling me?”

Belle is desperate to find the right answer to the accusation. However, however, he must continue to work so that Arthur soon get handling. Had Arthur not insisted on rejecting Belle's intention to take her to the hospital, maybe the man had the best treatment.

“Listen, Sir! I have no bad intentions. I'm calling you because Arthur was seriously injured at my place. He refused to be taken to the hospital and preferred to ask you to come here,” Belle said.

A few moments later, I heard a breath coming from the cell phone. “Send me your location. I'll try to arrive as soon as possible.”

Belle smiled with relief after the man trusted her. As soon as possible Belle sent the location of her restaurant to the man who spoke to her on the phone earlier. Later, Belle goes back into the room where Louis gives first aid to Arthur.

“How, Belle?” ask Louis. The man also felt worried thinking about the conditions that were happening right now.

Belle understands. Louis was just worried about himself. If any of the officers knew there was a wounded man in Belle's restaurant, it's not impossible that Belle would be the first person to be charged with a crime. However, the restaurant is in Belle's responsibility so that the woman will be dragged by the law if something bad happens to Arthur.

“His personal doctor is on his way to here,” replied Belle.

“Then, how about your restaurant? If anyone knew this man was so badly injured here, they would definitely think a no-no,” asked Louis again.

Belle breathed heavily. He's been thinking about this since. It would probably be better if the restaurant closed today. It's impossible to ignore Arthur being so badly injured here.

“Looks like the restaurant will be closed today,” replied Belle with a heavy heart.

Louis was surprised to hear Belle's reply. Maybe he was disappointed that Belle was more concerned with the man than opening his restaurant. Though Louis knows for sure the ingredients in the kitchen are still available quite a lot because it just came last night.

“You can't make this decision, Belle. If you close the restaurant today, you won't make any money. Then, how are you going to get a fee for your life needs?”

Belle glanced at Arthur. Make sure the man doesn't hear what Louis just said. Although, Belle knew it was impossible. Arthur must have heard it.

“It's Wednesday, Belle. In this day and age the number of customers who come always increases more than usual days because they know the food ingredients have just arrived. They like to come to the restaurant every Wednesday because they think the food menu will be much more complete than before. Then, do you want to miss this good day by closing your restaurant? Don't joke, Belle.” Louis was still trying to persuade Belle to change her decision.

Belle looked at Louis with the sweet smile she had. Trying to make Louis understand why he made this decision. The young man was quite close to her, even feeling like a little sister to Belle herself. That's why Louis would be so disappointed if Belle shut down the restaurant because it meant the woman would be underfunded to survive.

Well, Belle could only rely on the income from the restaurant to finance her entire life.

“Louis, I'm trying to understand your concerns. You don't have to worry about me. I still have savings to provide for my own needs and today there are humans who need a speck of humanity from me. Please understand,” whispered Belle.

Louis breathed heavily. He memorized Belle's character that will continue to put humanity first than anything else. Women are very good, sometimes they can be too good. Countless times Louis found Belle slumped alone for her kindness in misuse.

However, no matter what the circumstances were, Louis would still stand in front of Belle carrying with him his sweet smile. He and Sharon, the other employees at this restaurant, have both promised themselves to always be Belle's protectors. Whatever happens.

“Alright, Belle. I hope the man knows enough to not trouble you any further,” Louis said as he stared at the figure of Arthur lying on Belle's bed.

Belle laughed at Louis' words. With complete sincerity he rubbed the top of Louis' head.

Often the presence of Louis and Sharon became one thing that Belle was very grateful for. Because of the presence of the two young people, Belle's life became not so flat. Their adorable behavior really makes Belle feel happy in the midst of her solitude without anyone to call family.

“Please wait outside, Louis. If that personal doctor has come, get him here. I'll go in to make sure it's okay until the doctor gets here,” pinta Belle. Louis obeyed. The young man soon left Belle.

Belle goes back into the room to check on Arthur. Once there, Belle suddenly screeched as Arthur tried to slash her stomach skin that was bleeding.

“What are you doing, Arthur?” Belle exclaimed in panic. He tried to hold Arthur's hand so as not to cut the skin of his own stomach.

Arthur coughed until his mouth spurted a splash of blood. Things that make Belle's panic even bigger.

With great difficulty, Arthur tried to whisper, “Please give me rubber or plastic gloves, Belle.”

“For what?” Belle asked confusedly.

“I need to get the bullet out of my stomach. Please take off my hand and just get me the gloves I asked for.”

“No!” Belle shook her head as hard as she could to resist. “Your doctor will be here soon, Arthur. Let him do it,”.

“No time, Belle. These bullets are poisonous. If I don't get this damn bullet out soon, the doctor won't be able to save me because I'm going to die for nothing here,” Arthur whispered.

Belle sculpting. Don't know what to do. His entire body trembled in fear seeing the incision wound that Arthur made on his own stomach. It is inconceivable how much pain the man was feeling now.

However, seeing how Arthur pleaded through his eyes, Belle began to dare to make a decision.
