“No need? Ms. Thompson, are you sure?”
Coral stared at her in disbelief. “Aren’t you afraid I would change my mind after the surgery and refuse to help you? Aren’t businessmen like you most concerned about verbal agreements and insist everything must be written?”
“I did this to let you know that our cooperation is entirely up to you.”
Bella curled her red lips calmly, her smile friendly and relaxing. “If you sign an agreement, it’s a transaction. If you don’t, it’ll be fierce revenge for yourself and your family. Even if you decide to return to the Iverson family after the surgery due to societal pressure, I won’t blame you.
“I am also a doctor, and a doctor’s duty is to help the sick. Besides, Chief Prosecutor Jones was once my brother’s mentor. Consider me repaying my brother’s debt of gratitude for his mentor.”
Even a bystander like Justin was deeply moved by her words, let alone Coral.
How magnanimous! His lover was indeed never to be underestimated, always carrying herself like a queen.
The years of anger, grievance, pain, and unwillingness that Coral had endured turned into a torrent of tears at this moment, streaming down her cheeks.
She wept as she flung herself into Bella’s arms, finally crying her heart out.
……
After leaving the hospital, Justin kept a tight hold on Bella’s waist, both tacitly choosing to be silent on the way.
Bella’s tense emotions only relaxed when they returned to their car. Her soft body leaned into Justin’s warm chest, and her forehead pressed against his broad shoulders as she cried softly.
Listening to her broken sobs, Justin felt his breath grow heavy. His large hands caressed her back gently, and his heart melted.
“My darling.”
He spoke to her dotingly, thin lips parting as he bit her ear lightly. “You’re such a strong and fearless woman. Why are you crying so much?”
