Chapter 524

“Protecting her is something I should do. I’ve never thought of taking credit or asking for anything in

return.”

Justin slowly closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. “It

was what I owed her in the first place. Now, I’m just making up for the

mistakes I made over the past three years.”

“With your life?!”

“With what, then? Money? Don’t you know the Thompsons’

circumstances?” Justin raised an eyebrow.

Ryan scratched his head. It was true. They were rich enough t

his life.

Justin thought about Bella and how she looked extremely pale in his arms, and an uncontrollable pain

rose from the bottom of his heart.

Had she woken up? Had her fever subsided? Were any of her bones

fractured from hanging off the cliff for so long?

She was all he could think of.

Justin took a deep breath, and his hands clenched tightly in the bedsheets, suppressing an impulse

that felt like it was about to leap

out of his chest.

Had he fallen for her?

He must have.

Justin swallowed as his heart began to beat faster and he took

deeper breaths. A blush colored his pale but handsome face.

“Huh? Justin, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?”

Ryan hurriedly reached over to feel Justin’s forehead, but Justin smacked his hand away in annoyance.

“Ouch! That hurt!”

Ryan shook his hand off and chuckled. “That was a pretty strong

slap. It looks like you’re doing fine. Your self-defense skills haven’t

deteriorated.”

Right then, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Before the two could respond, the hospital room’s door suddenly

opened.

lan hurriedly walked in, bowed hastily, and opened his mouth.

But before he could speak, a clear and pleasant voice that held a

sharp edge cut in from behind.

“Justin Salvador, you’re seriously injured. Why did you secretly transfer to a different hospital without

telling me instead of staying

put? What are you up to this time?!”

With Steven’s help, Bella stormed into their view with great

momentum, like a comet shattering the horizon.

She had taken a shower and changed into an aqua-blue dress, over

which she was wearing a chic white cashmere sweater that made her

skin glow. It felt like a refreshing spring had flowed into his heart with

her appearance.

Bella raised her chin slightly, not looking unwell at all. The sound of

her sharp stilettos signified her.

She glittered from head to toe as she gazed coldly at Justin.

It was as if the heart-wrenching kiss they shared while they were alone last night had not happened.

Justin pursed his dry lips tightly as he frowned, feeling unhappy.

“I’m talking to you. Are you mute now?”

Although Bella was expressionless, she had been secretly observing his haggard face and felt even

more angry because of this. He

grew unhappier. “What are you trying to do by hiding your injurie

from me? Are you trying to get my attention?”

Ryan was a bit intimidated by Bella’s powerful stance. She was jus

like a domineering queen.

This made Justin, who was leaning weakly against the bed and

looking at Bella somewhat resentfully, look more like a poor husband

who had been neglected by his busy wife.

Once this image set in, the originally tense situation suddenly

became comedic.

Ryan snorted, unable to hold back, and then burst into laughter.
