The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge (Anna and Justin) novel Chapter 1266

Elope…

Justin stared intently at Bella’s pale face, his emotions getting the better of him.

“I want to grow old with Bella, but I can’t be selfish. Bella’s family isn’t like mine. I can leave everything behind for her, but I can’t forgive myself if she leaves her family for me. She won’t be happy without the blessings and company of her family.”

Justin shook his head in agony, his voice raspy. “I have taken too many things away from her. I nearly destroyed her. Ryan, I can’t hurt her anymore. I don’t want her to lose anything ever.”

“That’s your assumption. Have you asked Bella what she wanted?”

Ryan caught on and furrowed his brows. “It’s stormy tonight. It must have taken a toll on Bella to go to you. Family is important, but Bella cares more about you. She wants to be with you. If you tell yourself to move on, supposedly for her sake, a greater danger than tonight’s could unfold, leading to tragedy. I hope you won’t regret your choice, Justin.”

The words shattered him.

Justin’s mind wandered back to Bella’s pleas to save their baby.

The fever brought about Bella’s ramblings, but beneath her smile lurked unspoken trauma, a silent cry for help.

‘How did you do it, Bella? How could you smile when you see my damn face? How could you be so kind to me?’ Justin thought to himself.

Justin let the tears flow and slapped himself right in front of his best buddy.

“What are you doing, Justin?”

Ryan grabbed Justin’s arm. “Be a man and snap out of it! If you want to hurt yourself, I can provide you with all my kitchen knives. You can stab yourself to your heart’s content.”

…

The private doctor quickly arrived and examined Bella.

Sitting by the bed, Justin did not take his eyes away from Bella’s discolored face. He held her hand to his lips and kissed it.

“Her temperature is 41 degrees Celsius. It’s bad.”

The doctor gave Bella a jab and put her on drips. “She could’ve gotten an infection if treatment was delayed.
