“Protecting her is something I should do. I’ve never thought of taking credit or asking for anything in
return.”
Justin slowly closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. “It
was what I owed her in the first place. Now, I’m just making up for the
mistakes I made over the past three years.”
“With your life?!”
“With what, then? Money? Don’t you know the Thompsons’
circumstances?” Justin raised an eyebrow.
Ryan scratched his head. It was true. They were rich enough t
his life.
Justin thought about Bella and how she looked extremely pale in his arms, and an uncontrollable pain
rose from the bottom of his heart.
Had she woken up? Had her fever subsided? Were any of her bones
fractured from hanging off the cliff for so long?
She was all he could think of.

deeper breaths. A blush colored his pale but handsome face.
“Huh? Justin, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?”
Ryan hurriedly reached over to feel Justin’s forehead, but Justin smacked his hand away in annoyance.
“Ouch! That hurt!”

telling me instead of staying
put? What are you up to this time?!”

momentum, like a comet shattering the horizon.

her sharp stilettos signified her.
She glittered from head to toe as she gazed coldly at Justin.
It was as if the heart-wrenching kiss they shared while they were alone last night had not happened.
Justin pursed his dry lips tightly as he frowned, feeling unhappy.
“I’m talking to you. Are you mute now?”
Although Bella was expressionless, she had been secretly observing his haggard face and felt even
more angry because of this. He
grew unhappier. “What are you trying to do by hiding your injurie
from me? Are you trying to get my attention?”
Ryan was a bit intimidated by Bella’s powerful stance. She was jus
like a domineering queen.
This made Justin, who was leaning weakly against the bed and
looking at Bella somewhat resentfully, look more like a poor husband

Ryan snorted, unable to hold back, and then burst into laughter.
