âWhatâs the matter? Just give it to me here,â said Justin, his intense gaze fixed on Bella.
âJustin! Justin! Darling!â A pitiful cry echoed across the hospital corridor. A tearful cry suddenly echoed,
which made Ryanâs scalp tingle.
Justinâs expression darkened, and his body stiffened at the sound of Rosalindâs shriek.
Startled by the loud sound, Carrie woke up and grabbed Bellaâs clothes, eyes wide open. Whatâs going
on? Is something wrong with Grandpa?!â
Bella replied, âItâs okay. Itâs okay, Carrie. With me here, how could Grandpa be in trouble?â
Bella coldly glanced at the dazed Rosalind, then helped Carrie, saying, âCarrie, Iâll take you somewhere
to rest. When Grandpa wakes up, you can see him right away.â
Seeing her leave with such indifference made Justin feel as if he had been shot in the chest, making it
hard to breathe.
âJustin!â Rosalind cried. Her eyes were swollen from the crying. She wanted to rush towards Justin but
was stopped by Ryanâs outstretched arms.
âMs. Gold, I donât think you should be looking for Justin now. You should be at the hospital to check on
your dad and then find a reliable lawyer for your mom. Thatâs what a filial daughter would be doing right
now,â Ryan chastised her.
Ignoring his words, Rosalind continued crying to Justin, âIâve been framed! I am the victim! Justin, you
must believe me⦠How could I betray you when I love you so much?!â
With his back to her, Justin bit down on his teeth, his eyes filled with coldness. Hearing this woman
speak of love, he felt nothing but disgust and the urge to vomit.
He exclaimed, âThe child is already so old! Youâve created such a mess! If you had any sense of
shame, you wouldnât dare mention anything about love. Just listening to you makes me sick.
Ryan gave her a cold look and said, âYou should be grateful that Justin is kind-hearted. If it were me,
your adulterous husband wouldnât even have a decent burial, and Iâd kick the entire Gold family out of
Savrow, so Iâd never have to see your faces again!â
His ruthless words shook Rosalind, and she broke down into sobs.
After a while, Justin turned around slowly and looked at Rosalind with a cold gaze. âYou should leave.â
âNo! I wonât leave!â Rosalind exclaimed with a hint of coyness. She thought Justin would not do
anything to her if she played the victim. Little did she know he had already sent a message to Ian. With
two bodyguards in tow, Ian arrived to intervene.
Justinâs voice was bone-chillingly cold. âTake her away. Donât disturb the rest of the patients.â
âYes, Mr. Salvador!â Ian responded promptly. Fuming with anger, he rolled up his sleeves as he
approached Rosalind. Along with another bodyguard, they grabbed her arms and started pulling her
away.
âI havenât done anything with Memphis! It was him⦠He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I refused! He
became furious and raped me! Thatâs how I ended up pregnant with that wild
bastard!â
In an attempt to salvage Justinâs affection, Rosalind resorted to an outrageous lie in a desperate
attempt to justify herself. âHe had leverage over me⦠He blackmailed me repeatedly, and when I
refused to give in, he wanted to drag me down to hell. His goal is to ruin me completely! Justin, Iâm also
a victim! Why wonât you believe me?!â
âRosalind.â Justinâs eyes permeated with a chilling sternness that left her utterly hopeless.â My breakup
with you has nothing to do with that man or the child.â
His words left Rosalind bewildered. She stared blankly at Justin with her mouth half open.
