Justin’s broad and tall figure shielded her. His breath gradually
weakened, becoming more labored.
“Bella… Are you okay?”
“Are you a fool?! At a time like this, I should be asking you that.” Bella
growled at him, her voice low as tears welled in her eyes.
Justin’s head throbbed, his vision becoming increasingly blurry.
Despite that, he still smiled tenderly at her. “If you’re concerned about
me, then I’ll…”
Suddenly, Justin’s mind went blank, and everything went dark before
him.
Bella’s heart raced. She opened her arms and embraced his faltering
figure, hoarsely calling out his name
“Justin!”

The thug who attempted to harm Celeste was promptly subdued by the Thompson family’s bodyguards
and taken to the police station by Ralph.
As the man was escorted into the police car, Bella unexpectedly dashed over, her eyes red. She was
ready to physically confront the
man.
Ralph promptly held her back, whispering in her ear, both coaxing and

advising, “Bella! Leave it to me. Let me handle this scum! Don’t dirty
your hands with such filth. It’s not worth it!”
“I’m going to kill him… I’m going to kill him!”
Bella’s beautiful eyes teared up, almost hysterically struggling in
Ralph’s embrace, still wanting to hit the man.
Asher and Axel rushed over, both equally stunned by the scene.
They knew that even though their younger sister had a fiery temper, she was a strong-willed person
who remained calm even in the face
of storms. They had never seen her lose control like this before.
The man was handcuffed and seated in the police car. Before the car drove away, he even leaned out,
revealing a sinister smirk directed at
Bella.
“Ralph! Make sure not to go easy on him. Absolutely not!” Bella was consumed by anger. She hated
the man to the point that her eyes.
turned bloodshot.
“Don’t worry, Bella.” Ralph nodded firmly and then boarded the
car.
Bella stood in the cold wind with clenched fists.
“Bella.” Asher walked over, embracing Bella’s shoulder and pulling her into a comforting hug.

“Justin has already been taken to the nearest hospital in an
ambulance. Dad went there as soon as he heard. He’ll arrange for the
best doctors. Justin will be fine.”
“Yeah, Bella.” Axel joined in to console, “That guy used to be in the

military. He’s tough as nails. It’s probably just a few bruises. He can
handle it.”
“Handle it?”

Bella felt a sharp pain in her chest, nearly biting her teeth to pieces. ” That was an iron rod! No matter
how tough he is, he’s still a human. It’s fortunate that he didn’t die on the spot from a blow to the head
with an iron rod. How can he handle that?!”
Axel’s eyes narrowed. Realizing it was not a good time for jokes, he
felt a twinge of guilt.
“I know all the doctors at our hospital. Who among them can be better than me?” Bella took a deep
breath, breaking free from her big brother’s embrace. “I’m going to the hospital now. If anything
happens to Justin, that thug is done for!”
Watching the stubborn figure of his younger sister leave, the two
brothers sighed.
Axel asked anxiously. “Ash, did I say something wrong just now?”
Asher answered, “Yes. Regardless, Justin also saved Bella. Beside he’s in critical condition now. You
shouldn’t joke about it.”
“Sigh, my bad, my bad… I know we owe a lot to Justin. Without him, it would be Bella being rushed to
the hospital. But my mouth works faster than my brain, and I didn’t mean any harm.”
Axel regretted it more and more. He was almost on the verge of tears. “Ash, you have to help me… I’m
really afraid Bella will be mad at me!”
“Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Bella doesn’t hold grudges against
us.”
