âIâm fine. Iâm fine, Ash.â Bellaâs red eyes brimmed with tears, and her face was ashen.
However, Asher looked at her in shock, thinking that things were not so simple.
He knew Bella, and she was not someone who cried easily. She even fought on the battlefield. How
could a minor accident scare her to tears?
Something else must have happened.
Something severe.
âAlthough it just looks like some scratches, you still need to do a detailed examination at the hospital.
We should get a CT scan for any signs of concussion.â Arnold put aside his usual playful side and
suggested seriously.
Asher frowned and immediately carried Bella up, walking back to his car.
At this moment, Steven arrived. Seeing Bella leaning weakly against
Asher, he could not help but break into a cold sweat.
âMs. Bella! Ms. Bella, how do you feel?â
âSteven, handle the aftermath. Iâll bring Bella to the hospital now.â Asher quickly got into the car after
ordering Steven.
âYes, Mr. Asher. Leave it to me!â Steven kept his eyes fixed on Bella as his heart ached.
Asher carried Bella into the car while he hugged her tightly.
Looking at the loving siblings, Arnold felt a hint of jealousy. However, more of it was admiration and
longing.
In the Larson family, familial relationships ran thin. Everyone only focused on benefits and power play.
They said blood was thicker than water, but even blood ties meant little in his family.
That was why he chose to develop his career alone overseas.
The only family truly kind to him, Mila, was exiled from the Larson family because she chose to be with
Wyatt Thompson. She was labeled as a shameless woman who disgraced the Larson familyâs name
and never returned until now.
However, Mila returned to the Larson family once, and it was the only time. He heard that it was for
Bella. It seemed Mila begged for some medicine for Bella, kneeling outside the study for three whole
days without consuming anything. Only then did Milaâs father agree to se her.
This incident did not make Arnold feel that his aunt was embarrassing. Instead, he gained respect for
her.
It was evident that Wyatt treated her well, and the Thompson family saw her as one of their own. That
was why she was willing to sacrifice for Bella.
âArnold.â Asher suddenly called out to him.
âHuh?â Arnold was surprised, feeling a little unused to being addressed like that..
âAre you staying with Steven here, or are you coming with me?â Asher asked in a deep voice.
Arnold was stunned for a moment. He then smiled and said, âDo you need to ask? Of course, Iâll
choose you.â
âOf course, Iâll choose you.â Arnoldâs words were like an arrow that pierced Asherâs heart, making it
tremble.
In the past, his lover also liked to smile at him, saying confidently,â Asher, no matter what happens, Iâll
stand by your side. You are the only faith I want to protect in my life.â
Asherâs car drove toward the Thompson Hospital. Asher hugged Bella tightly, patting her back like he
was calming a child while comforting her with gentle words.
âAsh⦠Ash⦠It hurts.â
Bella buried her pale face in Asherâs chest. Although she tried her best to suppress her emotions, her
soft sobs still betrayed her heartbreak.
Asher felt a wet patch on his chest, and his heart seemed to be flooded with her tears. âBella, tell me,
where does it hurt?â
Bella closed her eyes and slowly raised her trembling hands, pointing at her heart.
âHere. It hurts so much.â
Asherâs eyes sharpened. He held his breath as he gripped her cold little hands.
Who else could make his tough sister so heartbroken? It could only be Justin.
