At Sinclair International Hospital, in the VIP wardroom, Bella finished her shower and changed out of her bloody clothes into something clean.
She stepped out of the bathroom and found Tristan waiting for her in the living room. Her movement paused, and all the pain she had momentarily escaped swallowed her again.
Bella approached him, trying to appear casual as if nothing had happened. However, her efforts failed; Tristan could see the sorrow reflected in her eyes.
Tristan felt sorry for her but chose not to pry into the details of the incident. He decided to wait for her to share when she was ready.
There was an urgent matter he needed to address now. Tristan stood up from his seat and approached her.
"Dear, let's eat first. I heard from Leo that you haven't had anything to eat yet." He took her hand and led her to the dining table. "They just served this for us. Let's eat."
