My Billionaire Ex-Husband Chase Me Back - Chapter 566

Chapter 566: The News She Had Hoped For
Leo glanced at Dana and was shocked to realize what Bella had just told him; his wife looked pale and appeared to be in pain. Earlier, his mind had been too distracted by thoughts of Jack and the others, causing him to forget about his pregnant wife.

“I’ll ask Tristan to provide a room for Dana. She must get some rest and eat something healthy for her and the baby inside her,” Bella said anxiously.

“Thank you, Bella. Please…” Leo replied.

While Leo spoke to Dana, Bella approached Tristan. She requested a VIP room for Dana and an OB-GYN to check her condition.

It didn’t take long before a few nurses arrived to escort Dana for some rest and a few check-ups.

Observing Leo’s distressed expression as he watched Dana being taken away by the nurses, Bella smiled at him. “If you want to accompany her, that’s fine. Go ahead. I’ll wait here…” she offered, but Leo shook his head. He felt he needed to stay.

“Don’t worry. My husband owns this hospital. The hospital staff is well aware that Dana is his friend. So, they will provide extra care and prepare more people for Dana,” Bella said, trying to reassure Leo.

“Hmm, I know. I just feel sorry for my wife. She was utterly shocked by what happened,” Leo muttered, struggling to calm himself.

After a brief silence, Bella broke the tension. “Does Jack’s family know? What about Sam? Did you know his family?” she asked.

Leo turned to her, shaking his head. “Jack warned me not to tell his family anything. And about Sam, no one knows where his family is…” He worries about Sam, especially since that man is the only one who has lost consciousness.

Bella’s expression turned gloomy again after she heard Leo mention Sam. Leo was right; Sam has always kept his family identity a secret. But if something happens to him, she knows how to look after Sam’s family through Sean.

“How about Stefan and Harper? Do they know about this?”

“They know. This incident would have been beyond our control if it had happened in the public area. Because it happened on our property, Stefan managed to erase all the news on the internet about this incident. Oh, he also has notified Harper. We will need her here because she is close to Jack’s family. I’m worried that something might happen to Jack. So—”

Leo shrugs, unable to continue his words, too frightened that something might happen to Jack.

Bella fell silent but agreed with Leo about notifying Harper. She was one of the founders of the RDF Group, and her presence here will provide significant help.

“Leo…” Bella suddenly grabbed Leo’s arms as the light above the surgery door turned green. “Are they done with the surgery?”

“Hmm, I think so—”

Standing up from her seat, Bella saw the door swing open. Carlos Montana emerged, followed by his fellow doctors. His expression was not as cheerful as usual, making Bella tense up.

“Let’s hear the results,” Bella mumbled as she approached Carlos and Tristan.

Carlos pauses briefly to offer Bella a faint smile before turning to Tristan to explain the surgery results.

“Mr. Foster and Bryan’s condition is stable,” Carlos reported. “The bullet has been successfully removed without any complications. However, they are still receiving blood transfusions because they lost a significant amount of blood at the scene and on the operating table. Overall, though, their condition remains stable. They will wake up soon once the anesthesia wears off and will be moved to the recovery room. You can visit them later.”

Carlos paused for a moment, looking at Bella with concern before continuing to explain Sam’s condition.

“The bullet that struck Sam’s head was in a tricky location and has damaged a fraction of his brain. We have removed the bullet, but we need more time to observe and assess if the surgery has fixed and limited the damage.” He halted again when he noticed Bella’s eyes welling up with tears.

“Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Other than the scarring brain, Sam’s overall is stable. He will live.” Carlos added gently before shifting his gaze to Tristan. “Tristan, that’s all I have for now. I will return with some updates.”

“Alright, much appreciated, Carlos. Thank you for your and your team’s excellent work,” Tristan replied, nodding to all the doctors to express his gratitude for their efforts.

After watching the doctors return to the surgery room, Tristan led his wife to their VIP room.

Meanwhile, Leo dragged his heavy feet to check on his wife. Even though he tried to remain optimistic about Sam’s situation, his heart was filled with the worry he never had before.

***

Today, Bella decided to stay at the hospital instead of returning home. She couldn’t leave the hospital while Jack and the others were still unconscious after their surgeries.

With no other option, she asked her mother and Noora to join her with the twins and Dax at the hospital. They took over almost an entire VVIP floor.

Throughout the day, Bella anxiously awaited updates on Jack and the others’ conditions. To keep her mind occupied, she played with her children.

As evening approached, Tristan finally delivered the news she had hoped for: Jack and Bryan were awake.

Bella visited Bryan first to thank him for what he had done for her. If it weren’t for Bryan protecting her from Jack Corby’s sudden attack, she might not have had the chance to see her husband and children again.

With Tristan following closely behind her, Bella entered Bryan’s room and saw Reid and Dylan standing by the bed. Seeing Bryan still asleep in bed, with bandages covering several areas of his body, made her feel sorry for him.

Approaching the bed, Bryan and the others finally noticed her; they stopped chatting and moved aside to give her space to approach.

“How’s your condition, Bryan?” Tristan asked, standing on the side of the bed closer to him.

“Boss, I feel healthy. Sorry to make you worry…” Bryan replied, forcing a smile as he attempted to sit up. Tristan, however, insisted that he stay lying down.

Looking at Bryan, no longer trying to sit, Tristan continued, “Thank you for protecting my wife.” He sincerely expressed his gratitude.

Tristan would never stop being grateful to Bryan for shielding her from the bullet and risking his own life. However, something had been bothering him after he had seen the CCTV footage of the incident.

‘Why did Bryan react so slowly? He could take care of Andreas Corby when he took out his gun. But he did nothing.’

Before Tristan could ask, Bella spoke beside him, causing him to halt and glance at her.
