“Sounds good, but keep it a secret from Uncle Wyatt. He’s still sick.” Justin’s eyes revealed concern, genuinely caring for Wyatt
as his own family.
Bella nodded, lowering her eyes. “I won’t ask Wyatt. Since he doesn’t want to say anything, I won’t force him. I will search and
find out about my mother’s past myself. I just don’t understand what kind of background Mom has to make Wyatt so wary. It’s
one thing if he didn’t tell me when I was a child, but I’m grown now. I am her only daughter, and I have the right to know
everything about Mom. So what if Mom might come from a disgraceful background? So what if she was a wanted international
criminal? In my heart... She’s forever my beloved mother.”
Justin listened quietly, his heart throbbing in slight pain as he empathized with Bella.
When he was still a child, he lived in the dirty and ruined slums with his mother.
His ears were always filled with insults and curses directed at his mother, ever since he could remember things. They called her
a stripper, a prostitute, saying that the young Justin was an illegitimate bastard, and she carried a filthy disease contracted from
some random man.
He did not believe that his mother was the kind of woman they described.
Even if she was, it could not erase the love he had for his mother.
After Zoe returned to Savrow, Claire and Liam immediately sent her to the best hospital and arranged for her to be in the VIP
ward.
“Mom... Uncle, thank you for bringing me back.” Zoe leaned against her mother’s arm weakly, her face as pale as paper.
“My dear daughter... you’ve suffered so much...”
Claire could not stop her tears. “It’s my fault... I will never leave you alone outside anymore. From now on, even if Ryan holds a
blade to my neck, I will never let you leave me! Nobody could take my precious daughter away from me!”
“Sob... Mom! I miss you so much...” Zoe sobbed uncontrollably.
“Zoe, I’ve told your grandfather about what happened immediately. He was almost in tears.”
Liam looked at her with an ambiguous gaze. “He would never let you leave Savrow. Focus on recuperating and rest assured.”
Zoe met his gaze, her lips curling up into a sinister and smug smile.
Suddenly, the ward’s door was flung open, and a cold wind gushed into the room.
Ryan’s tall and lean figure was wearing a meticulously tailored black suit. His black coat covering his shoulders slid off with a
shrug, but his subordinate quickly caught it behind him.
The man’s natural-born royal demeanor made Liam green with envy.
This brat’s playboy look in the past had completely vanished. Now, brat was growing to resemble deceased brother with a
commanding presence.
Liam gritted his teeth secretly. Ryan’s rapid growth had surpassed his expectations.
Now that he had helped Zoe return to Savrow, it was time for them to work together and go against Ryan.
‘Ryan... Zoe timidly clung to her mother.
Ryan’s beautiful but menacing eyes fixed on Zoe’s fearful fage, sending a chill dowth her spine.His aggressive and overbearing
manner was comparable to the Grim Reaper doring to claim her soul.
“Ryan... Your sister is still sick. What areo do?!” Claire hugged her daughter tightly as she looked at her son warily
