CHAPTER 1232: CHAPTER 1232: BE MY GIRLFRIEND (3)

Filled with worry, she quickly pulled out Gan Yuan’s number from her phone and dialed it.

The result was a busy line.

She then called Huangfu Jue’s number, and this time it went through, but the person who answered was Will.

"Will?"

"Is this Princess Betty? The Duke couldn’t bring his phone because it was inconvenient. Is there something you need?"

"I... I just wanted to ask, is Abel okay?"

"This..." Will was also taken aback by her question, "I... we haven’t communicated seriously yet, but there shouldn’t be any issues, right?"

The matter was far from over, and Will and others merely knew about Huangfu Jue’s situation from the news and hadn’t communicated specifically, so they couldn’t confirm Abel’s safety.

"I see..." Betty’s heart tightened. She heard someone talking to Will on the other side, so she hurriedly spoke, "It’s okay, you guys go ahead, I’ll hang up now."

"Don’t worry, there shouldn’t be any problem. I have some work to arrange here, and if there’s any news, I’ll inform you immediately."

Betty responded softly, then hung up the call.

Holding her phone, she paced a few steps in the room, her eyes settling on the vase placed beside the TV, Abel’s smiling face flashed before her.

...

Betty, if I really were to die, would you cry for me?

...

His voice rang again in her ears, Betty angrily tossed the phone aside.

"It’s none of my business!"

She said this, yet her heart felt restless, as if grass was growing inside her.

Stopping her steps, she looked at the phone on the table, hesitating whether to find another number to inquire.

The phone suddenly rang.

Betty grabbed the phone and answered the call.

"Hello?"

"Is this Miss Betty?"

"Yes, it’s me."

"Please hold on..."

On the other side, a light sound was heard, followed by a weak male voice.

"Be... Betty!"

Betty frowned.

"You... are you Abel?!"

"It’s... it’s me, Be... Betty, sorry... sorry, I’m afraid I’ve broken my promise to you..."

"You!" Listening to the weak voice from the other end, as if he might pass out at any moment, her heart felt like it was gripped tightly by an icy hand, almost making it hard to breathe, "What... what’s wrong with you?"

"Betty, I... I’ve realized that I seem to have really fallen for you, it’s just... I’m afraid I... don’t have time... to pursue you..."

"You..."

"If... if I still have a chance, would you... would you be my girl... girlfriend?"

"I..." Betty felt as if her throat was stuffed with cotton, enveloped entirely by a sense of sadness, "You’re... you’re talking nonsense, you won’t die, quickly... get someone to save you..."

"I’m... I’m about to go into surgery, you... answer my question first!"

"I..." Betty bit her lips.

"Good... goodbye!"

On the other side, the man’s voice suddenly dropped.

"Hey, Abel..." Betty clutched her phone, "Abel, hello, say something..."

The call was only left with a blank tone.

"Bastard!"

Betty cursed aloud, then tears streamed down from her long lashes like beads, grabbing her phone, she dialed back with trembling fingers, but she couldn’t get through.

Tossing the phone aside, she got up and rushed out the door.

"Princess Betty?" A staff member saw her appearance and approached with concern, "You are..."

Betty grabbed him, "Help me prepare a plane, I need to go to the Northwest, right now... I beg you, quickly!"

Congratulations and prosperity, bring the red envelopes, ha~!~
