Chapter 1067
Bella believed she should hide away in the hospital for a few days.
It was dark outside when Winston walked out of the prison gates.
Although it was spring, Savrow’s momings and nights remained gripped by a persistent chill.
Justin took off his jacket and draped it over Bella before pulling her into his arms.
They stood in the dark, listening to the leaves rustle. Despite their calm demeanor, they were swept away by emotions.
“He confessed,” Bella said after a long while.
“Yes. He fessed up."
Justin held her shoulder. It took a while before he was calm. "
Everything is about to end."
“No, not yet. We still don’t know where Maxwell is."
“But Maxwell isn’t in it with Shannon. His testimony isn’t useful in Winston’s case."
Bella looked sternly at him. “But he nearly killed you and Ash. Even if he’s unrelated to Shannon, I want him to pay."
Not to mention, they had not uncovered the real perpetrator.
Bella had nothing on Christopher, as it was all her assumption.
Maxwell was the important link.
After along silence, Justin said, “Stay out of it, Bella. Ryan and I will handle Maxwell.
“My injuries and Shannon have drained you enough. Leave the rest to me."
“Justin, are you keeping me out because you’re afraid I'll be exhausted if I get involved, or because Christopher’s involvement will tear me apart?"
Justin pursed his lips. His silence answered her question.
