Chapter 157: Emergency
The entire morning passed peacefully in the garden. The weather was perfect with the sunlight filtering gently through the trees, and a light breeze carrying the sweet scent of blooming flowers swam through the garden.
Birds chirped in the distance, and the gentle rustle of leaves added a soothing background to the cheerful conversations happening around the table.
Laughter echoed between the stone walls of the garden as the family sat together enjoying their breakfast. They talked about everything and nothing, enjoying this rare moment of peace. It had been a long time since any of them had felt this relaxed.
Bella smiled warmly. She looked at Jessica and Elliot, her heart full and grateful. She still couldn’t believe she was able to reconnect with a blood relation.
Looking at Elliot, Jessica and Davis she was happy and promised herself to make the best of the moment.
Davis sat near her, sipping his tea, his leg stretched out carefully as he rested. Everyone had gathered here simply to enjoy each other’s company.
Then suddenly, the soft ringing of Jessica’s phone broke the calm. Everyone looked at her as she reached into her pocket with a slight frown. She glanced at the screen and sighed.
"It’s from the hospital," she said quietly before answering. "Hello, Dean," she greeted calmly. But her calmness didn’t last long.
"What did you just say?" Jessica’s voice suddenly turned sharp. She stood up, her chair screeching slightly against the stone floor. She quickly turned on the speaker and a male voice echoed through the garden.
"Lady Matilda went into shock this morning. She’s has been brought in into the hospital but her son had insisted you come immediately. He says you’re the only one he’ll trust to continue her treatment."
Jessica’s lips tightened. "Send me her full medical report while I head to the hospital to check on her situation and check if you can get your hands on the possible causes," she instructed quickly.
