The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1562

“He was in a critical window? How could I not panic?” Sweat soaked Bella’s back in a hair-raising moment. “Why didn’t you call me? I am his daughter. I should be by his side at a time like this.”

The tears in Bella’s eyes were a gut punch to Justin. He took her shaky hand and held her tight.

Sure, Bella would make fun of Wyatt and act like she did not care about him, but Justin knew she did not want anything to happen to her father.

Asher fixated on Bella’s tearful eyes and sighed helplessly. “Dad wouldn’t let us tell you.”

Bella’s heart dropped. “Dad…”

“When he had the stroke, he told Quentin not to inform us, especially not you.”

Asher tried to keep his tone flat. “Dad knows that you have your hands full. He just didn’t want to bother you with another piece of bad news.”

The love of a father was great and silent.

So as not to worry his children, Wyatt gritted his teeth and bore even the most agonizing pain.

With emotions running high, Bella’s voice turned hoarse. “Wilma, pack my things. I’m getting back to Hatchbay now.”

“Of course, Young Madam,” Wilma responded.

“Pack a few sets for me too, Wilma. I’m going with Bella.” Furrowing his brows, Justin wrapped his arm around Bella’s shoulders.

Bella met Justin’s concerned gaze, and her eyes welled up. “I’m sorry. I doubt I can go with you to our Swiss vacation.”

“It’s okay. Your father’s health takes precedence. We can always go on vacation at another time.” Justin cupped her face.

“There’s one more thing.”

Asher paused, his expression somber. “Christopher is back.”

The air crackled with tension.
