âBella!â
Justinâs heart was pounding so violently that it felt like it might explode!
At that moment, he forgot the excruciating pain of his wounds and
rushed over without hesitation. He opened his arms wide with an iron will, catching his beloved firmly.
The gunshot wound on his left shoulder tore open again as he embraced Bella, staining his black shirt
completely red with fresh blood.
Instead of feeling pain, he felt relieved to have caught her in time. He even smiled from the depths of
his heart.
He remembered that when he was a child, whenever he got hurt or hahad to get an injection at the
hospital, his mother would give him a pipiece of candy. Eating the candy made him forget about the
pain.
Noiow, Bella was his candy. He could endure anything wher in inibis arms.
Bella was held in Justinâs embrace, she could smell the scererdfof blood on him and hear his labored
breaths. Her h anhhotot tears streamed down her face onto his warm, heavi held her
âLiars Why did you come alone? You could have died!â She choked asanche pounded his chest
fiercely, trembling all over.
âIâm sorry, Belleila Justin held her tightly, as if she were a treasure. big hands gently rubbed the back of
her neck, and a helpless, indulgent smile played on his lips. âBut I was afraid youâd follow me and get
hurt.â
âAfraid of this, afraid of that⦠Arenât you afraid Iâll worry about you?â
Bella clutched his shirt, her voice trembling with tears. Justin was suddenly startled by her emotional
outburst, his eyes moistening. It was as if his heart was struck by lightning.
He had never thought about this before because he knew he wasnât worthy.
But now was not the time to be lovey-dovey. In the next moment,
Justin spun around to protect Bella. He raised the submachine gun he had seized and took out all the
mercenaries in front of them.
Bella wasnât to be outdone. She did not back down, either. She stood back-to-back with Justin,
shooting and killing all the mercenaries behind them.
In a daze, Justinâs heart trembled, and a name flashed through his mind. It was a name that remained
vivid in his memory-Little Dove!
Back in Kridor, he had fought side by side with the girl in coat, breaking through the siege. Although
they had nev
Justin never forgot her for a moment, already considering for life.
He felt that he would never have a chance to see Little Dove this life.
But why did he feel so keenly that Bella in front of him resembled savior, Little Dove?
âWinston escaped! Letâs chase after him!â Bella shouted as she saw Winston running into the endless
darkness of the forest. She followed closely behind.
âBella! Donât run around. Itâs dangerous!â
Justin was about to catch up when suddenly everything went dark before his eyes. His tall figure
staggered. He felt a chill in every limb
and bone, and he lost almost all the strength in his body.
He gritted his teeth and struggled to chase after Bella, relying on his incredible willpower. All that was
left behind was a puddle of bright red blood soaking into the soil.
The terrain of South Island was complex and combined with the dense forest, so it was easy to get lost.
Bellaâs delicate skin was scratched by branches, but she didnât care at all. Her mind was solely focused
on catching Winston!
Suddenly, she stumbled under her feet, as if she had stepped on some mechanism.
Her heart tightened, and she reacted immediately and leaped a agilely!
At the moment her feet left the ground, the mechanism buried deep the ground sprang up, forming a
terrifying metal cage in mid-air.
Bella looked at the cage hanging in the air, panting heavily, while cold sweat covered her beautiful face.
