Chapter 294

“Oh, my silly woman Tristan chuckled while he slowly stroked her cheek lovingly. “Of course, I don’t mind. If I had known about this earlier, I would have flown with you p>

“Thank you, Mr. Sinclair. You are so kind. But… I won’t allow you to fly with me. Not this time,” she paused, amused when she saw his expression turn gloomy as if protesting her words.

Bella hurriedly continued, “You need to stay at home, Mr. Sinclair. Be a good father. We have a son to care for, remember? And I want you to accompany him p>

Tristan gasped. How could he forget entirely about his son?

After scolding himself inwardly, he cleared his throat before saying,

“My darling wife, you are right Tristan pinched her perfect, dainty nose, causing Bella to flinch and glare at him. He ignored her glare and continued, “Alright, you can fly there today, but I will fly there tomorrow with our son if you don’t return to us p>

Bella was rendered speechless.

How could he say the exact words as their son?

“Yes, Sir!” Bella jokingly answered, “Mr. Sinclair, you have to let me fly now; I’m afraid my father will find my mother if you keep me here for too long,” she said, concerned. She wanted to make sure her mother was in a safe location.

“There’s no need to rush, dear. I’ve sent my people to the hospital. They will make sure your father or anyone who knows your mother can’t reach her room…or even enter my hospital p>

Bella was surprised to hear that. She didn’t expect Tristan to mobilize his people so quickly, and hearing the hospital was actually under the Sinclair Group relieved her.

“My people will pick you up at the airport. And, because I know you will fly only with Bryan… I will send Dylan to accompany you. He will take care of everything during your stay there p>

Bella could only nod. She couldn’t refuse his help now.

In East City.

Bella and the others arrived at the private airport. She saw several cars in a row waiting for them.

Before she followed Dylan to the first car they would ride in, her eyes fell on Sam, leaning against the second car. She didn’t rush to enter the vehicle Dylan provided for her but approached Sam first.

She felt terrible asking Sam to fly here to take care of her arrival and her mother’s hospital stay. But now, she would not need him because Tristan had already arranged everything.

“Sorry, Sam, to trouble you by coming to this place so suddenly when you’re busy in the capital Bella apologetically said.

Sam chuckled and shook his head, “It’s fine, boss. Before you arrived, I had already communicated with Mr. Sinclair’s people here. So, I don’t do much. Well… I only make sure they do what you want he explained.

“Glad to hear that, Sam.” Bella felt relieved. “Dylan is here to assist me, so you can return to the capital if you have pending work there p>

“I will stay here, Boss. I don’t have much work there, and I can follow up with my team online,” Sam explained while leading her to the first car. “Boss, you should hurry to the hospital p>

“Ah, you are right.” Bella immediately got into the same car with Dylan and Aunty Emma, while Bryan now drove for them.

Along the way to the hospital, Bella felt tense. So many questions she wanted to ask her mother now danced in her mind.

The closer they got to the hospital, the more worried she became because, for almost ten years, she had no communication with her mother.

She faintly sighed a few times while gazing out the window. She tried to distract her mind from her mother and hide her worried expression from Emma.

However, Emma could clearly feel Bella’s restlessness, causing her to become concerned about her.

Emma’s voice broke the silence, filled with concern for her niece. “Bella, try not to worry too much. Your mother is a fighter. She’ll pull through her illness She tried to cheer her up.

Bella sighed as her mind reeled back to the past when she was still living at her parents’ house. She resented her mother for allowing her husband to mistreat her to protect them. She had seen it so many times that eventually, there was no pity left—or she had closed her heart and mind to not feel that way; she could no longer tell the difference.

However,

When she was pregnant, gave birth, and raised her son alone under challenging conditions, she slowly related to her mother’s suffering, and eventually, she understood why her mother allowed herself to be tortured to protect them—because her mother loved them.

This is what she feels. She wanted to do that for her son; she would do anything to protect Dax or sacrifice her feelings for him because she loved him so much.

When Bella met her mother a few months ago in the hospital and witnessed how her mother still stood beside her abusive husband, Bella’s plan to help slowly faded.

It would have been pointless to ask her mother to leave her father then. Her mother might have scolded her. Someone like her mother would not have been able to escape her suffering if she hadn’t decided for herself. They would not have listened to anyone’s words but their own.

Sigh!

This is why, after she found out that her mother had run away from home, escaping from her abusive husband, she wanted to meet her immediately. This was her chance to help her mother.

Bella adjusted her expression to calm herself before she turned to see her aunty.

“Yes, I hope so, Aunty. I hope Mom will be stronger and never waver again when my father pleads for forgiveness p>

“I will scold Natalie this time if she returns to my evil brother!” Emma said. She gently tapped Bella’s shoulder before continuing, “So, as planned, I will meet your mother before you meet her, right p>

“Yes, Aunty. You meet her first. Because I need to meet my mom’s doctor first…” Bella had already made an appointment with the doctor, thanks to her husband, who arranged it for her.
