Promise Hospital.
After saying goodbye to Dax, Bella immediately steps out of the car. But before she could enter the hospital,
Sean called her.
“Bells, wait…”
She halted her step and turned to see him. “Yes?”
Sean stopped one step in front of Bella. When their eyes met, he smiled before saying, “I’ll pick you up later. Go spend your time with your grandfather.”
Bella was surprised to hear that. “Pick me up? I thought you were going back to base?” She asked,
confused.
“I just got information from Basecamp that I don’t have to rush back. So, I still have time to pick you up here.”
“Really?” The light in Bella’s eyes was slightly beaming.
“There’s something I need to talk about with you, Bells…” he said in a relaxed manner, but inwardly, he felt like his heart was about to burst.

Bella frowned, slightly curious to know what he
wanted to talk to, but she didn’t ask anything; she could only nod.
“Call me when you’re finished,” Sean said while gently tapping her shoulder. “I will play with Dax; don’t worry about him. And you don’t have to be rushed.”
“Thank you, Sean,” She said.
“Alright, go inside. It is cold here.” He urges her to enter the hospital. Bella nodded and continued to
walk.
After she asked for the information and directions toward her Grandpa’s wardroom, Bella walked toward
the elevator.
When she saw the elevator was about to close. She
ran.
“Excuse me… Please wait,” Bella shouted while running. She felt relieved that her sneakers allowed her to run
this fast and barely enter the elevator.
“Thank you,” Bella said without looking at the man behind her. She stood at the front and, when she was

about to press the floor number, it was already on. It Hooked like the man behind her was going to the same
floor as her.
She took out her cell phone to notify Nick that she had arrived. However, before she could send the text, she heard a cold voice from the man behind.
“Tsk… Tsk… You only appeared when Grandpa was dying, hah!”
Bella flinch. She knows so well that cold voice. She slowly lifted her head, looking at the mirror before her to see the person.
A sour smile appeared on Bella’s lips when she saw a fat, chubby man with messy, dark brown hair staring at her with his sharp hazel eyes.
Bella can’t help but curse her luck.
How could she encounter this person right a came to this hospital?
Bella couldn’t help but turn to face him. “Oh, old brother… What a coincidence…” she said in a fake, surprised tone.
She continued before the fat man could say anything,

“Nice to meet you, bro. You look… bigger and healthier, you are so damn cute…” She giggles at her older brother, Henry Donovan.
Henry’s face turned red when he heard Bella’s words, but he ignored it and asked curtly, “Why are you coming now? Are you here because you know that Grandfather will die soon? You come here to claim your inheritance?”
Bella maintained her Monalisa-like smile even though she was fuming inwardly as if she wanted to gag his rude mouth with a slipper.
How dare he wish their grandfather death!?
If Bella had not remembered this hospital, she would have long gone to beat him up for his unmannerly
remarks.
“Oh, my dear older brother… Do you miss me this much? I miss you too, older brother.” She answered with a moved expression, even though the look in her eyes said otherwise.
“What the hell are you talking about? Who misses you?” Henry’s emotions flared. He can’t stand hearing this stupid woman’s words.

Bella laughed inwardly, making her older brother angry. Instantly, she felt in a good mood, seeing how red Henry’s face was now as if all his blood was
rushing under his skin.
Her concerned expression flashed through her eyes as she said, in a weak, concerned tone, “Brother, please calm down, huh? You might die young if you can’t control your anger.”
Henry almost vomited blood hearing her words.
‘This slut!! How dare she!!’ He clenched his fist, holding back his anger. He opened his mouth and wanted to scold her, but he was speechless when the elevator door opened.
Ding!
Bella walked out without waiting for Henry to sa word. She walked towards her grandfather’s rod light steps and a broad smile framing her beautif face.
Henry snapped from his trance when the elevator do was about to close.
“Ya!!” Henry yells in annoyance. “Arabella Donovan, you
can’t antar Crondno’s room” he running fast to

follow her.
But Bella ignored him. She continued to walk faster. When she arrived at their Grandpa’s room, she stopped before the door and looked in Henry’s
direction.
She held back her laugh when she saw her fat brother running after her – His body looked heavy when he lifted his legs.
Even though Henry’s face radiated anger, seeing his comical running style, Bella couldn’t help but laugh in
her heart.

“Big bro, you better start exercising. Only run that short; you’re already exhausted,”. Bella said softly, but Henry heard it like a slap in his face.
Henry became more annoyed.
“Arabella!! Y-You-” He can’t finish his words as
his stupid little sister wave at him and casually e
the room.
Fuck you, Arabella!! You wait, I will call Mom and Dad!!” Henry could only vent his anger in his mind while taking out his cell phone from his long-suit
pocket.

Without hesitation, he dial his mother’s phone
number.
“Henry, why do you call? Did you say you would visit your Grandpa now?” A soft, gentle female voice rang on the other end.
Henry’s face still looked annoyed. He answered, “Mom, you won’t believe who I met here.”
“Who?” The woman’s tone sounded curious.
“That little slut-” Henry ran his fingers through his hair while taking a deep breath. “Yes, yes… that slut, Bella… she showed up at the hospital. She’s in Grandpa’s room now. Okay, okay. I’ll try to hold her here… Hurry up, call dad too…”
After hanging up the phone, Henry’s annoyed face slowly changed. A mischievous smile emerged from the corner of his lips.
“You’re dead, Bella!! Mom and Dad will come.” He
talked to no one as he walked towards the room.
