Chapter 817
The spacious hallway suddenly became quiet and oppressive. Seeing Bella in
Christopher’s arms, leaning softly into his embrace, Justin felt a pang of pain in his heart.
His eyes reddened.
In the days without him, their relationship seemed to have progressed
rapidly.
Justin felt increasingly bitter as he thought about it. He lowered his eyes and stopped
looking at Bella, gripping the handles of Nigel’s wheelchair tightly.
“Bella, you’ve just finished an extremely tough surgery. You’re
exhausted and need to rest now.”
Christopher was aware of Nigel and Justin, but he did not avoid them,
keeping his focus on Bella. He looked at her affectionately. “I’ll send you home.”
“Grandpa Nigel?”
Bella ignored Christopher’s gentle advances and walked toward Nig
with a worried face. She kneeled on one knee and held his wrinkly
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthands. “Grandpa Nigel, why did you come to the hospital? Is there
something wrong with your health?”
Justin pursed his lips, feeling bitter. A man of his size stood here, but
Bella acted as if she could not see him at all.
It looked like she only had eyes for Christopher.
“Child, I’m fine. It’s a chronic illness. My heart was aching, so Justin
insisted on bringing me to the hospital this late at night.” Nigel still looked at Bella
dotingly.
“Grandpa Nigel, you can’t neglect your health. You need to listen to me and undergo
regular check-ups.” Bella was still worried.
“Anna, is this…” Nigel scrutinized Christopher with a meaningful gaze.
“Old Master Nigel, I’m Christopher Iverson.” Christopher stepped
forward and bowed politely.
“Oh, I remember you. I saw you at Celeste’s birthday banquet. You are Chairman Iverson’s
youngest son.” Nigel praised out of courtesy,”
You look handsome and talented!”
Nigel thought about how close Christopher looked to Bella just now and felt displeased.
They probably had a special relationship.
Moreover, Nigel was sensitive enough to notice the tension between Bella and Justin. They
looked even more awkward than they did when they had just divorced.
What should he do?
Nigel wanted to pull Bella aside for a chat when a sharp voice
sounded.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling?”
Bella raised her eyes and saw Zoe running toward them like a gush of wind, only wearing
her pajamas. Two bodyguards followed closely behind her but did not dare to get too
close.
Nigel’s mouth twitched when he saw Zoe, and he glared at Justin
fiercely.
Justin’s brows furrowed, and he looked at Zoe coldly. “Why did you

“I heard that Grandpa was sick, so I couldn’t fall asleep and sneaked
out to visit Grandpa.”
Zoe’s cheeks were red as she spoke. Her messy hair, pajamas, and slippers proved how
worried she was about Nigel.
“Miss, are you Ryan’s sister?” Nigel asked with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
“Yes, Grandpa. I’m Zoe.” Zoe intertwined her fingers nervously and
blushed.
It was her first time meeting Nigel. In the future, she would marry into the Salvador family,
and her current appearance was indeed
inappropriate.
However, she thought this anxious look would highlight her concern for Nigel, making it
less significant to care about her attire.
“Ms. Hoffman…”
“Grandpa, just call me Zoe.”
