My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back (Mia and Kyle) novel Chapter 431

Faintly, the ambulance sirens could be heard in the distance.

The room became extremely tense. Bella and the others were now looking toward the exit as they saw Bryan and Nick rushing outside to await the paramedics’ arrival.

"Bella," Natalie grabbed Bella’s hand in worry. "What happened to Henry? Why does he seem to be in pain? He looks pale, and his lips are purple. Is he alright?"

Natalie’s trembling voice failed to hide her fright. While her hand gripped Bella tightly, her eyes still stared at her son in horror.

"Mom, he is—" Before Bella could finish her sentence, several quick footsteps were heard coming towards the living room. She saw Bryan leading two paramedics with their equipment, swiftly entering the room.

Natalie’s grip tightened as she saw the paramedics approaching.

"Mom, let the paramedics help him," Bella said, pulling her mother into the corner.

Reluctantly, Natalie nodded and followed Bella, but her eyes never left Henry.

As Bella felt her mother’s cold hand gripping her arm tightly, she smiled gently and patted her hand. Leaning closer to her, she said, "Mom, my brother just fainted. He will be okay..."

Slowly, Natalie’s face relaxed. Her eyes were not as tense as before, and all that was left was worry.

"Bella, are you sure your brother is okay?"

"Hmm, he is—"

"But what happened to him before? Why did he suddenly faint just like that?" Natalie asked. She still couldn’t understand why Henry was lying on the sofa, looking in pain. "Is he sick?" she asked while trying to sound calm, worrying about distracting the paramedics.

"Mom, No. Henry is not sick," Bella shook her head, smiling awkwardly. She tried to find the right words to explain how she beat her older brother. She didn’t want to anger her mother. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"So he’s not sick? Then why did he faint like that?" Natalie was even more confused by her short answer.

Bella took a deep breath before she answered, "Mom, I had to slap and kick my brother. And I think I hit him quite hard."

"YOU WHAT?" Natalie shouted in shock, but seconds later, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hand when she saw the paramedics and the others now glancing at her. She smiled while trying to gesture to them to continue helping Henry.

After being ignored by everyone, Natalie leaned closer to Bella and whispered, "Bella, you said you beat your older brother? Impossible! How could he be in that miserable state!?"

Natalie found it hard to believe that her daughter, who was three times smaller than Henry, could beat him to the point where he couldn’t get up or even faint.

"Thank you, gentlemen..." Bella said. And let them bring Henry.

Natalie insisted on accompanying Henry to the hospital, and despite Bella’s concerns, she couldn’t stop her. She could only ask Bryan and Noora to join her for support, even though they were planning to visit Tristan’s family hospital.

Taking a deep breath, Bella looked at her grandfather, who had returned to his seat on the sofa. She felt guilty as she observed her Grandpa’s somber expression.

"Grandpa, I’m sorry I caused Henry so much trouble and ruined our dinner plans," Bella said apologetically.

Isaac smiled at Bella before responding, "Bella, it’s okay. This is not your fault. He brought his own trouble, so let him face the consequences. You should go home now and be with Dax. The little guy must be confused about what happened here."

Bella was startled, remembering her son. She stood up immediately, but before leaving the room, she looked at her grandfather and said, "Grandpa, come join us for dinner. Geoffrey has already asked the chef to prepare dinner for the whole family, but with what just happened, no one will attend."

Isaac frowned slightly as if he were thinking about something. After a few more seconds, he smiled at Bella.

"Bella, I hope you don’t mind if I pass dinner. I plan to visit Henry in the hospital, too. I need to talk to your brother again to let him know that everything has changed," Isaac said, feeling weighed down by everything. He knew he couldn’t rest easy until he sorted it out.

Bella didn’t press her Grandpa. She could only nod before leaving the house.
