"Nonsense!"
Wyatt felt his vision darken as he angrily slammed his hand on the sofa's armrest. "How can you ask about the royal family matters so casually? Besides, if you really love that girl, you shouldn't approach her with an ulterior motive!
"She degraded herself just to see you and traveled thousands of miles. It's clear that she values you and has genuine feelings! If you wanted to use her, would that be fair to her? Will the royal family let you off for playing the princess like a fool? Are the special agents of the Sentania royal family just for show?!"
Declan's heart wrenched in pain. His hands hanging by his side trembled uncontrollably and curled into a
fist...
How could he not understand Wyatt's reasonings? He was not without a heart.
However, if he did not uncover his mother's background, he would not know where Wyatt's concerns came from, and he would not get to be with Annabeth openly, let alone have a future together.
"You and that princess... Sort out your relationship soon. You can't be together, no matter what!"
"Dad, you've always praised me as the most obedient child since I was young."
A wave of unbearable bitterness surged up Declan's throat, and he blinked hard. "I've never defied you, but this time, can I beg you to give me a chance to date Annabeth?"
"No!" Wyatt was enraged, his body trembling uncontrollably, his words becoming slurred. "Do you want her, or me, your father... You choose!"
Then, Wyatt's vision blackened, and his limbs turned stiff, as if paralyzed.
"Dad!" Declan immediately turned pale with fright, rushing to check his father's condition.
"Dad!" Secretly eavesdropping outside, Bella rushed in quickly and contacted Arnold, while calmly performing first aid to Wyatt.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Dad... I didn't mean to anger you... Sorry!" Declan, a grown man, knelt helplessly beside his father, tears gathering in his eyes.
Wyatt suddenly had an episode, but Bella and Asher did not alert the others from the Thompson family, only getting Justin and Arnold to help out.
After all, Ryan and Carrie's wedding was just in two days, and nobody wanted to cause trouble for the newlyweds on such a joyous occasion.
After taking his medicine and a simple treatment from Arnold, Wyatt's condition stabilized, and he fell into a slumber on the bed.
"What happened all of a sudden?" Arnold stood beside Asher, shoulders touching as he asked worriedly. "It's my fault... It's all my fault! It's because of me. I was a bad son..."
Declan lowered his head guiltily, the strong sense of remorse constricting his beating heart like thorny veins.
Justin held Bella's waist and saw her sullen expression. He instinctively knew that something unpleasant had occurred.
"I'd believe it if it was someone else. But you, Declan? I just can't buy it." Asher shook his head in confusion.
"Asher, Arnold, Justin."
Bella took a deep breath and slightly parted her lips. "Can you please step out for a while? I have something to say to Declan alone."
The three men exchanged a look but still wisely left the room.
"Bella, are you alright?" Justin lowered his gaze and looked at her, feeling worried.
"It's alright. Wait for me outside." Bella squeezed his large hand, smiling gently to assure him.
Soon, only Bella and Declan were left standing beside Wyatt's bed.
"Bella, I..."
"Declan, I wanted to talk to you about Mom."
Upon mentioning their mother, Bella's eyes immediately teared up, despite just calming her emotions. " Based on Dad's reaction tonight and the investigation and deduction I've made previously, it's almost confirmed that Mom is from Sentania and ended up in Hatchbay due to some misfortune.
"Besides, there's something else I'm almost certain of. Mom is connected to the royal family of Sentania, and this relationship is a secret both Mom and Dad never wanted to touch or let us know."
