"Mom...why are you sleeping here?"
Bella suddenly woke up when she heard Dax’s voice. She thought she was dreaming, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Dax walking into the room with a worried expression.
’I’m not dreaming!?’ Bella wondered while looking around.
She was surprised to see herself in bed under a soft, warm blanket. And she saw her mother and Aunt Noora walking behind Dax.
Hurriedly, Bella sat on the edge of the bed and reached out her hand to Dax. She hugged her son.
"Why are you here?" She asked, but her eyes looked at her mother and Noora.
"Bella, Tristan called me. He asked me to bring Dax here. I don’t know what happened, but Tristan only said that William wanted to meet Dax," Natalie explained.
Bella suddenly remembered her father-in-law’s condition. She glanced at the clock on the wall; it was almost five, and the sky had turned dark.
"Sorry, Mom. I fell asleep after I had my lunch. I also don’t know what happened outside," Bella said while styling her messy hair into a simple bun.
A warm smile appeared on her lips when she saw her son sitting beside her on the side of the bed, looking at her with his curious gaze.
"Dax, have you met your father or Grandpa William?" She asked.
"No, Mom. Uncle Geoffrey took us here immediately. I haven’t seen my dad. What happened, Mom? Did Grandpa get sick?" he curiously asked.
Bella was puzzled about explaining the truth to Dax. She looked at her mother and Noora, but she understood when she saw them shake their heads.
"Dax," Bella said calmly, "I mentioned before that your grandfather was sick, right?"
"Yes, mom."
"Today, he needs to be treated in the hospital, so we’re here to accompany him."
"I see. Mommy, let’s go see Grandpa now," Dax said, getting out of bed and taking his mother’s hand.
Before Bella could stand up, Tristan appeared at the door, catching everyone’s attention.
"Daddy," Dax beamed, looking at his father. "I want to meet Grandpa. Please take me to see him."
Tristan smiled and took his son’s hand. "Alright, buddy. Let’s go meet him." He then turned to Bella. "Father also wants to see you."
Bella promptly stood up from the bed, ready to follow Tristan to her father-in-law’s room. Knowing that William was awake, she felt a mix of joy and worry about his current condition. Why was he suddenly asking to meet Dax?
"Mother, Aunty Noora, please wait here for a moment. Geoffrey will call you both later," Tristan said.
"Sure, Tristan. Don’t worry about us; go meet your father first," Natalie Wright said, nodding slightly.
