EuropeNovelChapter 1059: Brenna replied, "Please. Without makeup, you already have half the women out there swooning. Add it, and even I might fall for you." Dalton chuckled. "I've never seen you be charmed by me." Brenna laughed. "How long are you going to stay this time?" "About ten days." Having just finished filming a historical , Dalton had a brief break before diving into promotions for his next movie, a grueling schedule. "This dish is great," he said. "Our chef needs to learn how to cook this." The next morning, Brenna was in Ethan's office, drafting a proposal for the Mitchell Group's stock market strategy, when Ethan's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen; it was another call from Elsa. Thinking it might be about Belen's test results, he answered swiftly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtElsa's voice cthrough, choked with sobs. "Ethan, your brother's awful! He shoveddown the stairs for that woman, and now my leg's broken. It hurts so much..." Ethan froze. He knew Elsa's habit of embellishing stories and pinning blunfairly. From what he knew of Kenny, he knew he would never push Elsa down the stairs.
"Mom, don't make things up. Kenny wouldn't do that," he said.
"Make things up? Ronald saw it with his own eyes! Kenny and his wife pushed me! I'm furious... Ouch, my leg's really broken. Get here now!" "Fine, I'm on my way." He quickly hung up and tried calling Kenny, but the call went unanswered, leaving him confused.
Brenna caught the worry etched on his face. "Bad news about Belen's tests?" Ethan shook his head. "No, it's my mom. She said Kenny pushed her down the stairs, and she broke her leg. I'm going to check on her now." Even though it was Brenna's boyfriend's mother who ended up with a broken leg, a situation that probably should've upset her, she couldn't help but feel a little satisfied, convinced that Elsa was finally facing swell- deserved consequences.
With a grin she made no effort to hide, Brenna announced, "I'm going to check for myself. I have a feeling the matter isn't as simple as it looks." Ethan gave a silent nod in agreement. He didn't think Brenna was being unreasonable. Honestly, he doubted Kenny would ever do something as extras pushing their mother down the stairs. There had to be more to the story.
Soon after, the two of them made their way downstairs. Brenna climbed into her regular spot in Ethan's car, and Neville took the wheel.
During the drive, Ethan tried again and again to get Kenny on the phone. Each ignored call only added to his suspicion that something more was going on. Given everything Ethan knew about Kenny, the idea that he'd deliberately hurt Elsa just didn't add up.
* Neville. Kenny's! "Could you speed up a bit?" Ethan urged, glancing at Neville. Kenny's continued silence was starting to make him genuinely worried.
Ethan and Brenna wasted no tonce they reached the hospital, hurrying straight to the orthopedic department. The elevator doorsm opened, and Ethan immediately walked to the hospital room next to Belen's. Inside, Elsa sat on the hospital bed looking pale and weak. Her right pant leg was snapped open, exposing a bulky bandage wrapped around her lower leg. There was also a head wrap covering her forehead, though no blood was visible, leaving the extent of that injury a mystery.
