Provoked by Christopher, Astrid quickly made her way to Hatchbay in the middle of the night while reeking of alcohol.
Wyatt was at home. Quentin attended to him while he took his medications, and Mila was there, keeping an eye on his blood pressure.
Lately, Wyatt has been so angry with Bella that it has caused his blood pressure to skyrocket. Despite being the chairman of the KS Group and a top tycoon, he could not locate his daughter’s whereabouts.
As days went by, he transitioned from being furious to simply feeling worried for his daughter’s safety. He gradually calmed down.
He kept asking Asher and the others about Bella, but her brothers stayed tight-lipped because they knew that Wyatt’s strong emotions stemmed from his love for her, but this could also lead to chaos.
As long as they kept him focused on worrying about Bella, his hatred and loathing toward Justin could be somewhat diverted.
“Wyatt, I’m not trying to scare you, but you really need to take care of your health.”
Mila put away the blood pressure monitor with a concerned look on her face. “You often joke about being halfway to the grave, but deep down, I know how much you cherish the idea of a long and healthy life. You dream of watching your children and grandchildren lead happy lives in their own families, experiencing the joy of having four generations together. But if you continue neglecting your well-being, I’m afraid that you might not live to see that day.”
Wyatt pursed his lips and remained silent, like a boy being reprimanded by an adult.
Next to him, Quentin could only muster a helpless smile. Out of all the women in the family, it was only Mila’s words that Wyatt really took to heart. Maybe it was because of her strong presence.
“My health is getting worse by the day, and I can’t help but blame that brat, Bella! One of these days, she’ll be the end of me. She’s probably happy spending her time with that rascal Justin and starting their own little pack of…”
The bitter words were blurted out, causing Wyatt’s heart to ache and cutting him off mid-sentence.
In the quiet study, there was a heavy feeling of sorrow.
“Wyatt, from now on, please never say such things in front of Bella.” Mila looked even more stern. “You’re always giving orders and showing off in public, but you can’t be disrespectful to your children. Otherwise, no one will respect you.”
