Chapter 293

“Ma’am, I’m sorry to wake you, but we’ve arrived p>

Bella vaguely heard Bryan’s voice. She opened her eyes and looked out the window. The car had stopped in front of the private airport’s main entrance.

This was her umpteenth time here, and she was already familiar with the place.

There weren’t many people around as they arrived that late noon.

She followed Bryan into the airport, thinking they were heading straight to the plane because they ran out of time.

Before they arrived, Bella had received a message from her aunt Emma. She informed her that she had already boarded the plane.

However, now Bryan has led her to the VIP waiting room, which confuses her. Curiosity rising, she looks at Bryan and asks, “Bryan, is the plane not ready yet? Why do you bring me to this waiting area p>

“Mam, someone wants to see you Bryan answered her.

Bella was surprised to hear that. She didn’t recall Leo arranging a brief meeting for her at the airport. Just as she was about to ask Bryan, she spotted a familiar figure: Dylan, standing a few meters away.

Instantly, her heart quickened as she realized the person who wanted to meet her was none other than her husband.

Without realizing it, she half-ran toward Dylan.

Dylan saw Bella and immediately approached her. He greeted her politely. “Ma’am… Mr. Sinclair wants to meet you inside,” he said while opening the door for her.

Responding to Dylan’s polite smile with a slight nod, Bella entered the room. However, her steps halted as the door closed behind her. She fixed her gaze on Tristan, standing at the end of the room with his back to her. It seemed he had not yet noticed her presence.

Bella stood there for a few seconds, trying to calm her racing heart. On her way to the airport, she felt tortured and afraid because she couldn’t contact him, which made her unhappy.

But, seeing him safe and sound now, she felt grateful he was fine, far from the terrible thoughts that had plagued her mind earlier.

After another moment passed, a smile bloomed on her lips. However, Bella’s smile only lasted a few seconds; her smile slowly faded, replaced with annoyance because he hadn’t picked up her calls.

Bella planned to approach him and vent her anger, but Tristan turned to look at her before she reached him.

Her steps suddenly halted, her heart beat faster, and her anger faded when she saw the calm, loving smile on his face.

“Tr-Tristan Bella couldn’t finish her words when she saw him walking quickly towards her.

In a blink, she was already in his arms. Her face lay on his firm chest, allowing her to hear the loud sound of his heartbeat.

’Huh!? Why does he sound worried and afraid?’ She wondered while pulling her head away from Tristan to see his face.

However, Tristan’s hand gently placed on the back of her head stopped her. She was about to say something when his voice could be heard near her, “My darling wife, please stay still p>

Hearing Tristan’s hoarse and slightly trembling voice caused her even more worry. “Are you all right?” she asked.

Tristan didn’t say a word, but his deep breath was enough to make Bella feel his fear and sadness. Even though she was confused, she remained silent, waiting for him to say something.

Before long,

Finally, Bella could feel Tristan’s arms loosen. She looked up to see his face and was relieved that his expression was no longer as dark.

She smiled at him, “What happened? Something troubling you p>

“My darling wife, I’m really sorry if I made you worry.” Finally, Tristan spoke, his hands gently caressing several strands of Bella’s hair. “I left my phone in the car and couldn’t hear your call p>

“It’s okay, Hubby. I get why you did it Bella paused, unsure where to start explaining about her mother. “Well, actually, I’m the one who needs to apologize to you because I have to fly to East City in a rush. My mother p>

“I know everything. Your mother is in the hospital now,” Tristan said when he saw she seemed confused about how to explain.

“Y-You know about my mother?” Bella was surprised.

Tristan was right; the last news Bella heard was that her mother was still in the hospital. She would be hospitalized because she had so many internal injuries and was psychologically unstable—traumatized.

Bella also read from Stefan’s information that members of the Sentinel Network were on standby at the hospital—just in case her father found out her mother was there. He might come to the hospital to make a scene.

“Yes, I know. After I read your text, where you mentioned you were suddenly heading to the East City, I asked Max to check what happened there, and he found out that your mother had run away from home and was now in the hospital p>

Tristan felt terrible because he couldn’t help her earlier. He was too busy taking care of something in an underground base, which caused him to lose contact with her when she desperately needed his help to solve her family matter.

Rushing out from his base, Tristan found out that her assistant, Leo, had contacted Albert, the private airport director, to ask about the availability of a jet he could rent.

Albert, who takes care of all his jets, offered Leo to use Dax’s jet. By using his airport, Tristan had enough power to delay their departure so he could meet her now.

“I feel bad for my mother. That’s why I need to go there and check her condition Bella told him she planned to help her mother, even though her mother didn’t ask for help from her or anyone in their family.

Sighing deeply, Bella continued, “Hubby, I hope you don’t mind if I fly there to meet her. And, you know what? I feel terrible because I have to fly there in a hurry, leaving you and our son behind p>
