âIt was my fault for pushing you too hard in the past. From now on, I wonât make you do anything that
makes you feel uncomfortable
anymore
Justinâs shockingly pale face made him look like a swain in distress, which dazed Beedia.
She cougned liginti and placed the bottle of pills she was holding on the table berores mancing up.
âThis is the second course of treatment. Remember to take sheen on time. Iâm leaving now.â
âThereâs no need Youcannaake it back.â Justin shook his head.
âWhat do you mean byyhha Justin Salvador? You donât want to live anymore?â
Bella frowned. âYouâre sasisising saar in the business world with a net worth in the hundreds of
billionsYouâre willing to leave all

âNo. I just donât think you owe meeAlthough! saved you,

Justin shook his head again. âYou donât have to blame yourself
what happened to me. And besitios,

Better? Who was he kidding?
dooing much better now. I
Bella was extremely angry and sneered. âIs this a new trick of yours?
ere you taking one step back to gain pity? itâs a shhaine because it
would have worked on someone more compassionate.â
âI know.â Justin smiled bitterly. âThatâs why I donât have any other intentions. I truly donât need it
anymore.â
Bella felt mixed emotions upon hearing this, but she said coldly, âIf thatâs the case, I have nothing more
to say either. If you wonât appreciate my gratitude, thereâs no need for me to cling to you. I wonât stoop
so low. Once youâre done with this round of meds, you donât need to take any more medication. Too
much is bad for your health, too. You should pray that things turn out well.â
She then turned to leave, but Justin reached out and stopped her.
âItâs rare for you to visit me, and itâs cold outside. Why donât you have a cup of hot tea before leaving?
Iâll go make it now. Itâll be quick.â
Bella hesitated for a moment, but she surprisingly did not refuse him/
She sat back down on the sofa and watched as Justin headed toward
the kitchen.
In her mind, she replayed what Asher said to her.
She and Justin were the same kind of people when it came to how
sincerely they treated someone. If they had decided that someone
was their person, they would dig out their hearts and offer them up on
a silver platter.
It was just a shame that he had disregarded hers when she loved him
so passionately in the past. From then on, it was truly difficult for her
to open her heart to him once again.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of a cup shattering on the ground.
âJustin!â
Bellaâs heart skipped a beat, and she instantly stood up to rush toward the kitchen.
A ceramic cup had shattered all over the marble floor.
Justin was kneeling on the fragmented pieces, with one hand supporting himself against the floor and
the other holding on to the edge of the table for dear life. His whole body was covered in sweat, and his
breathing was weak and labored.
âW-Whatâs wrong with you?!â
Bellaâs expression twisted in shock as she hurried over to him, intending to help him up.
But Justin was too heavy. She exerted all her strength, but she still could not get him up.
Bella had no other choice but to squat down and sweep the sharp
fragments away with her hands, afraid that he would fall over and cut
himself on them.
âB-Bellaâ¦â
Justin used all his strength to raise his head. His cheeks were burning red, and his gaze was dazed
and vacant.
Bella was stunned to see this. She hurriedly felt his forehead.
It was as hot as a boiling kettle!
âHow did this happen? How did you end up having a fever?!â
Bellaâs heart was stricken with anxiety, as she was shocked and angry at the same time. With red eyes,
she yelled at him, âDid you take your medication on time or not? Bastard!â
Justinâs breath was hot, and he was delirious with a fever.
Subconsciously, he opened his arms to pull the woman in front of him, whom he loved so deeply, into
his arms.
âBella⦠Please give me some of your love⦠I beg you⦠Please, just a littleâ¦â
Bellaâs emotions surged as her lips parted slightly in astonishment, and her eyes slowly turned red.
âJustin, youâ¦â
âI just want⦠A little bit of your love.â
A hoarse, garbled moan came from the depths of Justinâs dry throat, which tugged at her heartstrings.
âBut Iâm scared too⦠Because I know Iâm not worthyâ¦â
