Bella leans closer to Kelly; she stops when it is close enough to send a chill all over this girl’s veins.
"If you have a problem, come to me. Don’t you ever try to harm my son! And because you already did that, I will gladly send you to jail," Bella coldly said.
After expressing her anger, Bella tightened her grip with her healthy hand and threw the woman’s weak body to the floor until her face pounded the hard floor. And Bella did that again several times.
The howling pain echoed in the room as Kelly started to cry again.
"Please stop, ma’am. Stop. I know I’m wrong. Please forgive me. Please," Kelly said between her tears and fears, keeping her body flat on her stomach.
Ignoring Kelly’s howl of pain and pleas, Bella stepped on her hand until the bone-cracking sound could be heard, followed by Kelly’s scream of pain.
After crushing Kelly’s finger’s bones, Bella felt relieved but not entirely happy. The situation might not have ended as it did if Dax had not understood her instructions.
She felt grateful and fortunate because Dax had understood her instructions and done as she asked: he kicked the woman, rolled away, and moved aside.
If Tristan hadn’t suggested that she and their son take sign language classes and learn lip-reading, she wouldn’t have known what would happen today.
"I know I’m wrong, but you’re also wrong!" the woman shouted in pain as Bella kicked her again.
"I don’t know what happened to you and Andreas Corby, but you made a huge mistake; you have woken up the rage in me. And for that, I won’t allow you to escape your heavy punishment. You will stay in prison for a very long time—" Bella couldn’t finish her words as she felt a hand gently touching her shoulder.
She glanced over her shoulder and saw Tristan standing right behind her. Her dark expression and anger slowly faded. She tried to say something to him, but Tristan pulled her into his arms.
A few men rushed inside, took over the situation, captured Kelly, and brought her out.
Bella no longer cared about what was happening around her because she felt like all her courage when facing Kelly had disappeared.
After experiencing such a scary situation, Bella could feel her body trembling and her knees weak. She buried herself in Tristan’s embrace and silently cried before looking up to meet his gaze.
"Where is our son? Is he alright?" Bella asked.
"He’s alright. He’s in the car with Noora," Tristan lovingly answered while wiping away the tears still rolling down her pale cheeks. "I’m sorry I came so late—" his voice slowly faded when he noticed her bleeding palm.
Tristan’s face darkened; he immediately let go of her before pulling out a handkerchief from his suit and wrapping her bleeding palms.
Bella’s tears continued to fall as she watched Tristan wrap her hand; only now did she realize how much her palm had hurt. The fresh blood still flowing caused the white handkerchief to become reddened.
Before Bella could say something, Tristan grabbed her and carried her out of the room. She could only lean her head on his shoulder while hiding her face from the people looking at them as they walked through the restaurant hall.
"Carlos, go to the hospital now. And I don’t care how, but make sure no scar is left on my wife’s injury," Tristan calmly instructed. "You can call the best doctor who can do that. Spare no expense!"
"I will try to find the best surgeon. No worries, man," Carlos said with a smile at Tristan.
Tristan nodded and turned to Bella. "Dear, I will follow the ambulance with Dax."
"No, I want Dax here.. Please bring him here. I want to meet my son now," Bella begged.
Bella was worried that her son would be traumatized because he had witnessed the attack on her. She needed to meet him and ensure he was not as frightened as before.
Tristan looked reluctant, but seeing Bella’s eyes looking red as she held back tears, he couldn’t refuse her. He nodded and left.
A few minutes later, Tristan returned with Dax in his arms.
"Mommy!" Dax’s voice shook when he saw Bella sitting inside the ambulance. He hurriedly climbed into the ambulance, sat on his mother’s lap, and nestled into her embrace.
"Mommy, I’m scared..." Dax said while crying.
After a long time, this was the first time Bella saw her son crying again. It was enough to make her heart ache. She couldn’t hold herself back from crying, too. Her tears slowly fell as she embraced her son.
