Bella believed she should hide away in the hospital for a few days.
It was dark outside when Winston walked out of the prison gates.
Although it was spring, Savrowâs mornings and nights remained gripped by a persistent chill.
Justin took off his jacket and draped it over Bella before pulling her
into his arms.
They stood in the dark, listening to the leaves rustle. Despite their
calm demeanor, they were swept away by emotions.
âHe confessed,â Bella said after a long while.
âYes. He fessed up.â
Justin held her shoulder. It took a while before he was C
Everything is about to end.â
âNo, not yet. We still donât know where Maxwell is.â
âBut Maxwell isnât in it with Shannon His testimony isnât useful

Bella looked sternly at him. âBut he nearly killed you and Ash. Even

âWhat if Christopher is proven to have nothing to do with Maxwell,
and my assumption is wrong?â Justin asked hoarsely.
â| canât forgive him either. He did a lot of harm to Camillaa
husband in Sentania. The scandal nearly buried Edward! | ca

Wyatt was calling.
âWhat's the matter, Wyatt?â Bella accepted the call, her voice
affectionate and casual.
Although his future father-in-law was not present in person, Justin
still felt nervous. His palms were clammy.
âWhere are you, Bella?â Wyatt sounded stern.
âWhy?â
âAre you in Savrow?â
âWhat is it?â
