“And did you think | would approve of it, Bella? My health is none of your concern. You need not bother,” Justin retorted icily, his tone devoid of emotion.
“You!” “If you wish to continue attending the event, please proceed to the banquet hall. If your sole purpose here was to discuss this matter with me, you can leave with your companion now.” As Justin finished his sentence, he turned around expressionlessly and walked away without hesitation.
“You fool! Have you lost your mind?!” Bella yelled after him.

A profound sense of loss crept up her legs, winding its way through her and making it impossible to evade.
“Someone once offered$1 billion to treat them, but | didn’t agree to it. Now that I've personally cto see Mr. Salvador, he wouldn't even sparea glance.

Even if he didn’t love me, | was willing to be there for him for a lifetime. But now, all | feel is guilt toward him. | don’t want to owe him anything anymore. That's all.” With a graceful smile and a casual wave, Bella strode forward confidently. “Let's leave the past behind.” Arnold's heart skipped a beat, his smile fading slowly.
He was not one to believe in true love, but if he ever encountered it, he would deeply respect it.
