Chapter 718
Outside the window, the cold breeze of the winter night howled.
However, it was quiet, warm, and comfortable in the ward.
The two beds were placed side by side. Although there was a gap
between them, Justin felt that they were still sleeping on the same
bed.
Besides, lan was smart enough to place the two beds as close as
possible.
It was too late when Bella noticed it. lan and the bodyguards had left
quickly, and she could not move the bed herself. Justin was still weak
and could not be of any help.
Bella lay on the bed, closed her eyes, and breathed evenly.
Justin also lay down, smelling the pleasant scent emanating from her
hair. His heart thumped, and the boring ceiling before his eyes
seemed to transform into a romantic, starry sky.

them toward Bella.
“You’d better stay put.” Bella’s clear voice suddenly sounded in the
night.
Justin’s fingers stiffened.
“If not, this will be the last night you have a right hand.”
Sweat beaded Justin’s forehead as he smiled bitterly without a word.
He lay still like a corpse for God knows how long.
Finally, Bella’s breathing became steady, and she fell asleep.
Justin gulped and took a deep breath. He made a big decision to
slowly but firmly hold Bella’s warm hand.
He gripped her hand tightly as their fingers interlocked.
“Bella, I love you. Goodnight.”
Justin closed his eyes in satisfaction, soon falling asleep.
After a while, accompanied by a shallow snore, Bella discreetly
opened her eyes and squeezed her fingers. Her heart raced violently.
“Rascal. Good night.”
After taking care of Justin for two days, Bella made time to return to
her home in Hatchbay.
She had not come home for several days and was worried about
Celeste. She needed to check on Celeste. On the other hand, she
wanted to ask Mila if there was any method that could eliminate or effectively control Justin’s after-
effects.
Even though she was an outstanding doctor, she could not cure every
illness.
“Amelia, how is Aunt Celeste doing?” Bella hugged Amelia, who was
teary-eyed, and asked with concern.
“Mom kept hiding inside her room and refused to see anyone. She
didn’t eat anything yesterday, and the lights in her room never went off. I think she didn’t sleep at all.”
Amelia choked as she spoke, tears flowing from the corners

“No, she won’t. Although your mother looks fragile, she’s a strong person deep down. She won’t be
defeated so easily. Don’t overthink it.” Bella patted Amelia’s back and could feel that she had lost
weight. Even hugging her was uncomfortable.
It was needless to say how mad and upset she felt.
Her family was kind and had been low-profile enough. Why should they be harmed and schemed
against by those despicable people?
Why?
“Ms. Bella, you’re finally back.”
Steven rushed over with heavy, dark circles under his eyes. “Rest
assured. I’ve been rotating with two other bodyguards to keep an eye
on Madam Celeste 24/7. She won’t be in any danger. Don’t worry.”
“Aunt Celeste has bodyguards, servants, Aunt Mila, and Aunt Sasha. Even my dad is watching over
her. I left you here with one mission, which is to take care of Amelia. How did you do that? She’s lost so
much weight!”
Unable to suppress her anger anymore, Bella vented it at Steven.
