Wyatt sneered at him. âDo you think you can really handle it? If you could, Bella wouldnât be lying here
right now!â
Asherâs eyes instantly dimmed, and he kept his mouth shut.
Axel also pursed his lips. Although he was usually eloquent, he had nothing to say.
âAsh, letâs talk outside,â Wyatt said, standing up stiffly. After sitting for too long, his back was aching.
âYes, Dad.â Asher quickly moved to support his father, and the two temporarily left the ward.
They went to the lounge.
âWhat did you say?â Asher was greatly shocked, his eyes narrowing. You want Bella to be with
Christopher? But why?â
âIf we really want Bella to break free from Justinâs shadow, I think the best way is to let her start a new
relationship. Let someone who truly
loves her be with her.â
Wyattâs gaze was deep, as if he had already made up his mind. âRight
now, Christopher is so devoted to Bella, and our two families are well-
matched. Besides, Iâve watched him grow up. Why not give them a
chance? Maybe he can heal Bellaâs inner wounds. Bella canât continue
to suffer like this, she deserves a fresh start.â
âWatched him grow up? Do you really think you truly understand Christopherâs character?â Asher
asked impatiently, his tone growing heavier. âChristopher has been involved in some shady dealings in
Sentania over the past few years. Some of his businesses are downright shady. Are you really
comfortable letting Bella be with him?â
âThatâs in Sentania, not here. Besides, if he treats Bella well and they stand a chance, I donât mind
helping him to clean up his business.â
âDad!â Asher choked on his words, his throat tightening. âWhy are you suddenly like this? Bella is not
going to be happy about it!â
âEven if I donât do this, does it make her happy?!â Wyatt suddenly stood up, his eyes burning with
resentment as he shouted angrily at him. âSince she joined the Doctor without Borders, when have I
ever intervened in her affairs? I gave her the freedom to follow her heart, but where has it gotten her?
She ended up in a broken marriage, became both emotionally and physically scarred from abuse, and
even now, sheâs still being bullied by Justin! Is my daughter worth s little? Does she have to remain
lonely and unwanted without Justin?
Asherâs eyes widened in shock. He could tell that Wyatt already knew about the undisclosed matter
between Bella and Justin. But besides
the two parties involved, only Asher knew about it, and he hadnât
uttered a single word to his father. How did his father know? Who told
him?
âChristopher holds no position in the Iverson family, and his
relationship with your Uncle Lance is quite ordinary. Currently, he might not seem like the perfect match
for Bella. But thatâs alright. As long as he genuinely treats Bella well and with sincerity, I donât mind
giving him a hand.â
Wyatt thought of the harm Justin had done to his daughter and hated Justin so much that he wished he
could shoot him dead. âHmph, Justinâs days of being special in Savrow are numbered!â
Asher felt inexplicably depressed. Wyattâs intentions to groom Christopher as his future son-in-law were
crystal clear.
âHave you discussed with Bella regarding this decision? Would she be okay with you meddling in her
love life?â
âIâm not going to discuss anythingâ Wyatt replied as he closed his eyes and waved his hand
dismissively. âEventually, Bella will come to realize that loving someone doesnât always mean they are
the right fit or the best choice. Only the person who loves her back is suited to be her life partner. At the
very least, she wouldnât be hurt again.â
