EuropeNovelChapter 1055: After the last test was done, Elsa had already arranged for a room in the orthopedics ward for Belen.
As the elevator doors slid open, Brenna and the others guided the bed down the hall. Elsa stood nearby, arms folded, her gaze fixed on the group. Her expression, once warm, hardened the moment Brenna cinto view.
Given Belen's injury and the current situation, Elsa kept her sharp words to herself, at least for now. She wasn't about to start trouble, not wanting to upset Belen. Still, as soon as Brenna pushed the bed out of the elevator, Elsa deliberately pushed past her, giving her a cold, warning glance.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEthan caught the silent exchange and gave Brenna a reassuring nod, hoping to comfort her.
Bess had seen enough to recognize Elsa's open dislike for Brenna. She quietly let go of the bed. There were plenty of hands to guide it, so she knew she was not needed. She didn't want Brenna to have a negative impression of her.
She stayed back to comfort Brenna, saying, "Don't mind my aunt Elsa. She's just not good with people. For as long as I can remember, she has always been blunt, often speaking and treating people without regard for their feelings." Those words made Brenna feel better. It struck her as odd that someone like Elsa-famous throughout the country as an artist and a singer-could go through life without learning a bit of tact.
Brenna remembered meeting Bess at Belen's house before. Bess had been mean to her at the time, but once she discovered that Brenna was related to Dalton, her attitude had softened right away.
Even though the shift puzzled her, Brenna chose to accept Bess' kindness this time.
Brenna said, "It's really okay. I'm used to it by now," she said plainly. "Every tshe sees me, she's got something mean to say. She just can't stand me, and she definitely doesn't wantbeing with Ethan." Bess rolled her eyes. "That's just how she is. She wants to control everything around her. She and Ethan fight constantly. He often goes to Grandma's house just to get a break from her. Even Grandma thinks Elsa's a handful. So really, the problem's hers, not yours. Personally, I think you're great. You're smart, kind, and good- looking." With no attempt to hide her real intention, Bess said, "Besides, you're related to Dalton, the famous star. I'm a huge fan of him. I went to his concert not long ago and saw you give him flowers on stage. What exactly is your relationship with him?" Curiosity sparkled in Bess' eyes as she looked at Brenna, waiting for an answer. Brenna met her gaze and answered, "Dalton is one of my older brothers. I thought you knew that last time." She realized Bess was straightforward and liked that about her.
Bess could hardly believe it. "Wait, really? I figured you two were related last time, but I didn't want to assume." Her voice trembled with excitement. If that were true, maybe she'd get to see Dalton one day if she visited Brenna's home.
With a quick nod, Brenna confirmed it. "Yeah."
The two of them chatted at the door.
Brenna peeked in; doctors were still giving instructions to Elsa and the others.
Soon, Elsa escorted the doctor out. When she saw Brenna still standing there, her face darkened in anger.
Elsa wasted no tstriding over. "You sure have snerve. My son has already ended things with you, yet you still keep hanging around.
stiffk Don't you understand he has moved on? He doesn't like you anymore!"
