As they walked into their house, Bella received a call from Ralph.
"Bella, the identities of the victims are confirmed to be Maxwell and his associates." Bella closed her eyes, her teeth biting down hard on her lip, blood seeping out.
Justin's eyes were bloodshot and dark. He was almost unable to breathe after seeing her struggle so intensely.
"The forensic team conducted a thorough search near the explosion site and found their two passports, along with sitems that could confirm their identities as citizens of Terranova. Along with the surveillance footage along the route, it's almost certain it's them." Seeing Bella's continued silence, Ralph hurriedly comforted her. "Bella, don't be too upset. None of those people are good people. They're all ruthless criminals in Terranova. Maxwell has committed many crimes in his country. He's a real villain and deserves to die. We're still looking for the black box on the helicopter. But we can't rule out the possibility of foul play in this explosion. Fortunately, there were no other additional casualties. So, Bella, don't get yourself too worked up. Just leave the rest to us." Bella's dry lips trembled as she struggled to speak, “I understand. It's just...” "You felt frustrated and defeated because we didn't manage to catch Christopher. Even though Maxwell is gone, the mastermind behind him is still lurking under your nose. Others may not understand your feeling of powerlessness, but as a police officer, why'd you think I wouldn't know how you're feeling?" Ralph gently comforted Bella.

In my many years as a cop, I've brought even the most elusive serial killers to justice. I've never encountered a case that I couldn't crack. Remember, where there's a will, there's a way!" Where there's a will, there's a way.
The Thompsons never believed in fate and never surrendered.
"Thanks for comforting me, Ralph... Don't worry, I'm not that fragile." After hanging up the phone, Bella, who had been trying to hold her emotions in check, finally broke down. She threw herself into Justin's arms, crying uncontrollably like a complete mess.

gently stroking her trembling back as his quivering lips brushed against her ear, softly murmuring, "My dear Bella, cry as much as you need to. Just don't bottle up your emotions. It only hurt you." "Why am I so stupid?" Bella gripped his shirt, unable to resist condemning herself.
"Silly girl, if you're stupid, then I'm nothing more than a pig." "See... Even you think that I'm silly..." The petite woman cried even harder.
Justin looked remorseful, wanting to slap himself for saying that.
"Alright... I know what you're trying to say. I'll be fine after I cry it all out..."
