Continuation of "Gone with the Wind"

Chapter 6 The Righteous Bell

She remembered until the moment she fainted in front of Meili's tomb, she seemed to hear the sound of carriages and footsteps, and then she lost consciousness.When she woke up, she found herself lying on a big soft bed, the glass chandelier above her head was emitting soft light, and she thought she had returned home in a trance.From her vision that had not fully recovered, she saw a fat figure sitting in front of the bed, with her back to her, hands clasped together, that solemn posture looked like a pious nun praying.Just when she felt that fiery red hair looked familiar to her, she heard a man's voice say, "Thank God, she's awake." The figure suddenly stood up and turned to face her .Looking at the face she was so familiar with, she couldn't help screaming: "Bell! How dare you come to my house? Get out of here!"

Bell laughed with pity on his face: "Your house? My God, Mrs. Butler, please look clearly, this is my house. Could it be that you are out of your mind? Doc, please don't go Let's see if she's crazy?"

"That's not necessary, Miss Watling. It's just because she stood for too long, it was such a cold day, she was too emotional, and she was recovering from a serious illness. She couldn't take it anymore. It's lucky that she didn't have a high fever again." The doctor's voice was calm and professional, and Scarlett heard another kind of irony in his professional calmness.She gripped the quilt resentfully, as if she wanted to transfer her resentment from her heart to her hands.

"That's good, thank you doctor. I said don't grab my quilt so tightly, it's a new one I bought." Bell sent the doctor away, turned around and began to worry about her quilt again.

Scarlett really wanted to jump out of bed and beat her up, but just as she was about to move, she found that the feeling of dizziness returned again, and she could only lie down, full of humiliation, as if she was a rabbit in a trap, Being teased by hunters.

Bell approached her step by step, she instinctively wanted to retreat but there was no way out, as if a girl was about to be raped by hooligans.God, please don't let her come any closer, she cried desperately in her heart, completely forgetting to control her facial expression, fear easily took over her face, and she didn't know why she was afraid of Bell.Thankfully, she finally stopped.

"Is that how you ladies thank your savior?" Bell didn't hide her mocking expression at all. She thought of the last time she rescued the gentlemen in Atlanta, and she felt a sense of revenge.

Looking at this face, Scarlett seemed to see the condescending expression that Rhett often showed her in her mockery.Thinking and courage returned to her in an instant, and she replied bluntly: "Thank you, Watling-ma'am."

Her Irish blood was inspired, and the more she should be afraid, the more she must muster courage.

"I'll pay you back the doctor's money." She added.

"That's unnecessary." Bell's expression became a little surprised, as if he didn't expect her to really thank her.

"Anyway, the money Captain Butler left behind before he left is enough for me. But you don't have to thank me. If you want to thank you, you can thank Mrs. Wilcox. If you don't pass out in front of her grave, but somewhere else, I will I can't be bothered to save you."

Hearing Rhett's name mentioned so casually, Scarlett couldn't help being a little annoyed, but she suddenly thought that Bell might know about Rhett's situation, so she immediately ordered herself not to get angry, "Have you been to Melly's grave?" Changed the subject with ulterior motives.

"Yes, Mrs. Wilkes used to be so kind to me. I don't deserve to attend her funeral, but I always go to her graveyard to see her off. I didn't expect that I would go at a time when there were no people. In the end, I still ran into you." Bell smiled helplessly.

"Then what did you do when you saw me?" Scarlett was shocked. She would never say those words to another person in her life. If Belle...

"I'm too lazy to see what you're doing. I was planning to leave, but who knew you just bent over and passed out. You're really heavy. It took me a lot of effort to get you into the carriage." Bell began to laugh at her again up.

Scarlett glanced contemptuously at Belle's fat waist, she had the nerve to say she was heavy?Fortunately, she didn't know about that.
