Chapter 539
Justin felt as if his heart was filled with sharp shards.
He clenched his own shirt, thinking to himself, ‘No, of course not, Bella. I’m not someone who acts on a
whim. My feelings for you are not a passing fancy. Is delayed affection not considered love?
Thirteen years ago, we faced life and death together. Thirteen years
later, we continue to face hardships side by side. We are destined to be inextricably bound in this
lifetime.’
For the first time in his life, Justin experienced the difficulty of
holding back words of love.
Justin felt the frustration of having so much to say but being unable
to speak. But in the end, he chose silence.
He knew that now was not the time to speak. What he needed
was act.
Although Bella had recovered from her fever, her body was not fu
recovered.
Bella was exhausted after the last three days of turmoil. She could no
longer be bothered guarding against the ‘wolf’ any longer.
She fell asleep shortly after her head touched the pillow.
But Justin kept his eyes open, staring straight at her as if he were

Only when he was sure that Bella had genuinely fallen asleep did he endure the pain and climb out of
bed. He tiptoed over to the sofa.

Originally, he had planned to admire Bella’s tranquil and lovely
sleeping face. But he felt sorry for letting her sleep on the sofa.
Thus, he gently lifted her delicate and soft body.
He lowered his long eyelashes as he cradled her in his arms. His
palms were slightly sweaty.
He also could not resist brushing his sharp jawline against her soft
hair.
“Mm…” Bella let out a soft whimper in his embrace.
She resembled a sleeping baby having a dream.
Justin’s eyes deepened, and his throat felt both dry and itchy.
He had a strong desire to kiss her, and his lips hovered just above
hers. In the end, he couldn’t bear to do it.
He used to think that he had married a demure little flower. Now,
realized that she was a charming enchantress who captured his hea
and soul.
Bella woke up from her sleep the next morning and lazily stretched
her waist under the quilt.
She slept unexpectedly comfortably last night.
Wait a minute.
Bella sprang up and looked around. Only then did she discover that
she was actually sleeping on the bed!

‘What’s going on? Did I sleepwalk?’
Bella quickly uncovered the blanket, finding herself still dressed.
Considering that the bed was a narrow single bed and Justin’s robust
figure, it should be impossible for her to squeeze in…
There was no way she would not have felt it if he did.
At this moment, Justin was nowhere to be seen in the ward.
Bella pounded the bed with her fists, cursing under her breath.
With such severe injuries, he still dared to wander around. It was like
he was looking to shorten his own life!
Just then, a knock came from outside, along with Steven’s voice. “Ms.
Bella? Have you woken up?”
“Come in.” Bella, afraid that Steven might misunderstand, jumped off
the bed and walked to the sofa.
Steven pushed the door open with his back and walked in. He held two large, high-end food boxes in

Declan are on their way from Hatchbay to Savrow. They’re coming to
pick you up together. After picking you up, they plan to have lunch,
and then Mr. Declan will return to Dawnford.”
Bella rubbed her slightly sore temples and sighed.
She had indeed alerted her brothers after all. She diverted her
attention to the food boxes and asked, “What do you have there?”
“It’s from Justin. He had his secretary prepare breakfast for you.”
Steven placed the two large food boxes on the coffee table, looking
dissatisfied.
Outside the door, lan sneezed loudly, thinking to himself, ‘Who the hell
is cursing at me?’
Bella frowned. “Where is Justin?”
“He went for a medical checkup.”
