"Bella will get better. She will."

Asher gritted his teeth against the pain, but his voice choked up before he could even finish the sentence.

"What can I do... What else can I do..."

Axel panicked, feeling more unsettled than he had in the last thirty years. He started pacing back and forth and muttering to himself.

"Alright. I'll go deal with Justin then!"

Just as he was about to rush out, Asher firmly blocked his way.

"Enough! That's enough from all of you!"

The hoarse and broken voice pierced everyone's hearts.

Everyone looked up to see Bella standing stiffly halfway down the spiral staircase. Her once delicate and rosy complexion had lost its color and vitality.

Seeing her in such a state pained everyone's heart.

"It's been three years. It's all in the past! I don't care about it anymore! Why do you keep bringing it up again and again? Why do you keep talking about it endlessly?!"

Bella's almond-shaped eyes blazed with anger, almost erupting in hysteria. "Must women bear children? Do I need children to survive? I don't like kids. I hate kids! I never once desired children. Never! I won't allow you all to cause trouble for Justin again. My miscarriage has nothing to do with him! It was an accident!"

"Where's Finley? Where's Quentin?! Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on her and not let her out of her room?!" Wyatt suppressed his tears and yelled angrily, "Get her back to her room!"

"I want to go back to Savrow! I want to see Justin!"

"Don't even dream about seeing him again! You won't see that scumbag again unless I'm dead!"

The father-daughter duo had bantered and bickered for years, but now they have reached the breaking point.

Bella's eyes were filled with tears. She hesitated for a moment before suddenly laughing. "Wyatt, are you truly that heartless? You've married one woman after another, yet I'm only asking for Justin. Why won't you allow it?"

"Bella..." Asher's heart sank as he noticed his sister's emotions were on edge.

"Well, are you afraid of the idea of me dying before you then?"

The crowd gasped in shock, and Wyatt's three wives were frightened, covering their mouths in horror.

"Bella! Don't say such things! It's not worth it to do this over Jerkface Justin!" Axel was so panicked that he could not articulate his words coherently.

"Hmph! Bella, who do you think you're trying to scare?"

Wyatt squinted his eyes and gritted his teeth. His heart was aching so much that it made breathing difficult for him. "A father knows his child best. How could you possibly be willing to die? If you truly wanted to die, you could've easily chosen the day you miscarried or the day Justin divorced you! Do you think I'll relent just because you're threatening to commit suicide now?"

Bella was so frustrated that she clenched her teeth hard.

Wyatt was right. Indeed, Bella had no intention of actually dying. She was just trying to scare him a bit.

But this time, Wyatt did not show any mercy at all.

"Don't worry. I'm practically halfway to the grave already. Nowadays, I take off my shoes and socks in the morning, uncertain if I'll put them back on the next day. I'm afraid your wish of dying before me will not happen."

"Dad, stop it! You know very well that Bella didn't mean it that way. Why did you say such harsh words to hurt each other?" Asher's eyes were full of anxiety. He could not bear seeing them hurt each other. Wyatt's heart was also aching deeply, but his words remained cold and stern. "For the sake of a jerk, she's willing to give up on her own father. So, why should I care about her feelings?"

In the end, they still took Bella back to her room.
