Chapter 528
“The only reason we even managed to get married for three short
years was because I kept trampling on my own dignity to cling to you.
I’ve put in a lot of one-sided effort to keep things going. What is there to cherish in this fragmented relationship? Why would I
give you a chance to start over? Why would I do something so stupid?”
Bella’s words were like sharp knives. Each met its mark and drew
blood.
Justin did not want to lose her and tried to take her hand again.
But this time, she did not give him the chance to. She nimbly dodged him, and he missed embarrassingly.
“I swear I won’t anymore.”
Justin panted heavily. His voice was very hoarse. “I won’t be stupid
anymore, Bella. Just this once. You don’t even have to do anything.
You just have to stay where you are. It’s my turn to chase after you.”
Bella’s heart was beating as fast as a rabbit’s, as if she had just
ridden a roller coaster.
Her palms were sweating, and she was breathing erratically.
“Chase after me? Didn’t you previously say that I was a shameless
and cunning woman? I’m not a delicate, little, pure, and innocent girl
like Rosalind Gold. How could you ever be interested in me?”
Bella sniffed and sneered proudly. “And besides, I’m not the same Anna Brown you used to control so easily anymore. Many
people

want a chance with me. Do you think you can compare to any of
them? You’re a scumbag who’s been blacklisted in my book!”
“Bella, I really am-”
“Stop. I don’t want to hear it.”
2/4
Bella covered her ears with her hands and turned around to walk
quickly towards the door, like she was escaping. “I’ll ignore everything
you said today as nonsense because you were concussed. I’ll treat you because I don’t want to owe you anything. Once you’ve
recovered,
we’ll have nothing to do with each other anymore!”
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.
Justin’s eyes were bloodshot, and the hand he had reached out to
take hers earlier was frozen in mid-air. It trembled slightly, then slowly
lowered.
“I really am in love with you, Bella.”
After leaving Justin’s ward, Bella did not go straight home. Instead,
she met with lan to learn about Justin’s condition and took his
examination report and medical records with her.
She intended to study them carefully at home.
When she gave Justin a comprehensive examination earlier, she
realized he was not in good condition. His injury was serious and
could have long-term effects if not treated correctly.
The Rolls-Royce sped toward Hatchbay.
Chapter 528
In the car, Steven was driving, while Declan sat in the passenger seat.
Asher sat in the back seat with an arm around Bella.
Bella clutched Justin’s hospital records and sighed repeatedly as she
leaned against her brother’s shoulder.
It was obvious she was not in a good mood.
“What’s wrong, Bella? You don’t seem to be in a good mood.”
Asher turned and touched her soft cheek. “Is Justin Salvador going to
die?”
Bella remained silent.
Declan looked back and cut in with a frown. “Bella, that’s a go thing. What are you feeling so depressed about?”
Bella still remained silent.
“Dec, have you forgotten what she’s like? She’s a kind-hearted person who knows how to repay favors. Justin got injured this
time because he saved her. If something really happened to him, how would she ever get over it?” Asher sighed softly.
Declan was still furious, but he could not say anything to refute that.
“Justin was seriously injured, but he was treated in time. His life isn’t in danger.” Bella finally spoke.
“That’s good, then.”
Asher asked in confusion, “If that’s the case, why are you feeling so blue?”

“It’s not a big deal.”
Bella paused, then said softly, “Justin said he was going to chase after me...”
