NovelEnglishChapter 879 As Asher stepped out of the hospital ward, his expression darkened ominously, as if he had emerged from the depths of hell.
Upon hearing about Bella's accident, Axel and Ralph, who were working in Savrow, and even Amelia, who was in class, all rushed to the hospital. Even Drew zoomed his way to the hospital without hesitation.
In a rare occurrence, all of the Thompson siblings gathered together for Bella, with only their third brother, Declan, who was serving in the military, absent.
“Ash, why did Bella suddenly get into a car accident?” Amelia, the youngest and most timid, was on the verge of tears, her eyes welling fi Steven saw Amelia's distress and wanted to comfort her, but as a mere secretary, he refrained from overstepping his boundaries in front of his boss.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSteven could only keep his concern for her hidden in his heart, but his intense gaze never left Amelia for a moment.
Perhaps, for a person like him, the only thing he could ds to silently stand behind her, guarding her without uttering a word.
“That's right, Ash. Bella is a skilled driver. Her driving skills aren't any worse than mine. How could she be rear-ended? In fact, they should be struggling to keep up with her car’s tail lights,” Drew expressed his bewilderment.
On his way to the hospital, Drew’s heart remained tightly clenched. He had faced life-threatening situations and stared down the barrel of a gun without flinching, yet Bella's predicament had him all frazzled.
Axel and Ralph looked nervously at Asher. The air in the corridor turned dense.
Meanwhile, frost cloaked Asher’s handsfeatures, and his strong jawline tensed. He remained silent for what felt like an eternity.
“Ash?” Axel nudged him. “What's going on?” “Bella’s fine. Just a few scratches and a little shaken up by the accident.” After a long pause, Asher withdrew from his thoughts of anger and spoke lightly. “For the next few days, let's take turns taking care of Bella. It'll be tough, but necessary. Let's keep this matter to ourselves for now. For now, don’t inform Dad and the others about this. They're all spending twith Aunt Celeste. Besides, Bella wouldn't want to burden them either.” “Ash, you're pissingoff now. Are you treating us like outsiders ?!” Drew snapped at him with furrowed brows. “Bella is our younger sister. It’s only right for us to take care of her. We'll stay by her side even if you don’t say anything!” “He’s right. Nothing's more important than Bella,” echoed Axel and Ralph.
“Ralph and Axel, you both have work to attend to, but | don’t have anything urgent. Steven and | can stay with Bella all day. Both of you should go back and rest.” Amelia spoke and exchanged a meaningful glance with Steven.
“It’s okay. I've already informed the station.” Axel immediately declined, sighing with self-reproach. “As Bella's brother, I've never done anything for her since we were young. Now that she needs someone by her side, how can I not be there for her? What kind of ridiculous brother would I be, then?” The Thompson siblings had never schemed against each other, unlike typical high-society families.
They always supported each other through thick and thin. It was a kind of familial bond that others envied but could not replicate.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Ash, you've arranged everything for us, but what about yourself? Do you have something to attend to?” Being a prosecutor, Axel had a keen intuition and sensed that Asher’s behavior was slightly unusual, as if he were suppressing sanger.
“I have smatters to attend to.” After that, Asher glanced once more at the ward's door, hesitated briefly, then reentered.
Inside, Bella completed her treatment and now wore a hospital gown, lying still on the bed with her eyes closed, her state of consciousness unknown.
Asher’s delicate eyelashes fluttered slightly as he approached his sister silently. Leaning down gently, he kissed her forehead lightly.
“Have a good rest, my dear sister. I'll ccheck on you again later.” “Ash...” Bella kept her eyes closed, her voice barely audible as she spoke Tm fine, really.
