Putting himself in Bella’s shoes, Arnold thought that Bella might still suffer from the torment of self-doubt in the future if she knew she could not conceive again. Enduring such agony would gradually diminish Bella’s happiness.
Justin and Bella were plagued by many hardships and trapped in an unsolvable dilemma.
However, not wanting to worsen the situation, Arnold could only earnestly persuade him. “Ash, no matter what, Mr. Salvador has saved you and Bella from harm repeatedly. Without his sacrifice, how could you have returned alive? That way, I won’t even be able to see you again! Your actions will only cause more pain to others. That includes Bella, too!”
Asher’s eyes remained bloodshot, but he slowly lowered his clenched fists.
“Justin, you’ve saved my life once, so I’ll spare yours. But from now on, don’t ever show up in front of me again. Don’t show up in front of Bella, either. I can forgive the past hurts you inflicted on her, but I can’t overlook this one.”
With that, Asher gritted his teeth and turned to leave.
Arnold silently observed the pale-faced Justin and reluctantly followed behind.
“Please… Give me another chance! Give me one last opportunity to make amends!”
Justin’s cheeks were streaked with tears, reminiscent of Bella’s pleading when she begged him not to divorce her. He appeared even more pitiful and desperate than she had at that time. “I truly love Bella with all my heart. I beg you to give me one last chance. Just one last chance! Let me atone for my sins. Let me make things right!”
“Sure.”
With a chilling tone and chuckle, Asher brutally dashed the hope he had just raised, smashing it into countless pieces. “Restore my sister’s body to its original state with a healthy uterus, then I won’t stand in your way of being together.”
…
Justin could not recall how he had walked out of the parking lot.
The intense headache that had plagued him previously returned with a vengeance. His ears buzzed with a cacophony of mocking voices, as if countless demons were jeering at his foolishness.
‘Justin, you deserved all of this. You really deserve it! You deserve to die!’
“Justin!”
