An Indescribably Sad

Bella hurriedly wiped the trace of tears from her eyes before the call connected.

"Tristan, is that you...?" Isaac Donovan was surprised to see Tristan video call him for the first time. His smile widened when he saw Bella sitting next to Tristan, and he waved to her. "What's going on, Tristan, Bella? Why are you suddenly calling me at this late hour?"

Bella smiled at him, recognizing the background as her Grandpa's living room in his Lake View Villa. It has a beautiful and outstanding fireplace. 

"Grandpa, you are in Lake View Villa, aren't you? Is there anyone with you there?" Bella asked calmly. But inside her mind, she was worried about telling her Grandpa if he was alone because the news might cause him a tremendous shock that may affect his old and fragile heart.

"Yes, dear. I have Nick here to stand by if I need anything. Okay, talk straight with me, Bella. Why are you guys video-calling me now?" Isaac Donovan asked again.
