Chapter 716
Justin gradually understood something since he fell in love with Bella.
Bella was like a porcupine. She always wore a frowning face to him. and acted tough, with spikes, but
in reality, she had a soft heart that
was sincere and kind.
He no longer had anything that could attract her. He could only shamelessly pester her to drag it out,
cherishing every moment.
In the past, she was the one who suffered grievances and seized every second to be by his side.
Now, it was his turn.
In the end, Bella could not leave the ward and decided to stay.
“Don’t misunderstand me. I didn’t stay because of you. It’s because
I’ve promised Grandpa Nigel and Carrie.”
Bella steadied her mind and sat up beside the bed. “I’ll rest next door
tonight. Call me if you need anything.”
Justin quickly grabbed her hand. “Bella, sleep here tonight.”
“The couch is uncomfortable. I can’t sleep.” Bella wanted to pull her

“We will sleep in the bed.” Justin’s voice was low, as if he were
coaxing her.
“Justin, do you have no shame?” Bella regretted not bringing a tape
measure along in her pocket. She would like to see how thick this.
man’s skin was!
“Don’t misunderstand, Bella. If you’re unwilling, I won’t force you,
though I really want you…”
Amidst his words, Justin could not help but lean towards her, fire
burning in his body.
Want her? In his dreams!
“You stink! Don’t come near me!”
Bella moved backward to hide from Justin, pinching her nose in
disdain. “I don’t want to sleep in the same room with you. I’m afraid
I’ll faint in the middle of the night due to the stench.”
“Do I stink? It’s not that bad.”
Justin picked up the hem of his sleeves and sniffed. “When I was in
the army, the conditions were terrible at the camp, and I could barely
shower once a week. It was much worse than this. After I returned to
the Salvador Corporation, I could bathe every day. I wasn’t used to it
at first.”
Bella’s eyelashes fluttered.
His past, the hardships he endured… Aside from himself, Bella was probably the one who understood
it the best.
Bella did not look down on Justin, but the knot in her heart was hard
to unravel. Even though he held sincere feelings for her now, she could not persuade herself to take a
step toward him.
She once admired him, throwing herself at him like a moth to a flame. When he destroyed all of her
love and passion, it was truly difficult to
reignite her heart.
“Bella, I’ll wipe my body quickly. Wait for me.
Justin was afraid that Bella would find it unacceptable to share

“You can’t touch water now. Don’t bother about it. You can continue
to stink.”
Bella pried Jsutin’s fingers off her hand one by one. “I’m going to
wash up.”
In fact, Justin was still weak, but he refused to show his fragile side
in front of the woman he loved. He might be traditional in this aspect, but as a man, he wanted to
protect and support his woman.
Taking a blow to the head should not be affecting him much. In the past, he was shot by a machine
gun. How could he become weak and
unable to take care of himself now?
In front of Bella too! How embarrassing!
At this moment, Justin leaned against the headboard, listening to the running water in the bathroom.
It had been a long time since he felt so peaceful and quiet in his mind and experienced this simple
happiness.
Suddenly, he felt the urge to cry, so he gripped the bedsheets tightly.
