Bella felt drowsy after finishing her chocolate bar and a milk box. She looked at the bed several times to see if her father-in-law was awake, but there was no sign that he had moved.
She didn't see Daniel or Geoffrey enter the room either; they were still busy outside or waiting for Tristan and Lewis's arrival.
Not long after, Bella could hear a few pairs of feet rushing to the room from the door. She immediately stood up, wondering if it must be Tristan.
But Bella's step halted when she saw that it was not Tristan but Lewis Sinclair, a doctor, and two male nurses entering the room. Alan and Geoffrey followed them behind but stopped near the door.
Bella didn't immediately greet Lewis Sinclair; she let him see William's condition. She walked to Geoffrey and stood beside him.
"Any news from Tristan?" she whispered, not wanting Lewis to notice her and distract the doctor, who explained William's condition.
