After receiving the news, Bella left Yara Park and drove quickly toward the Public Prosecutor’s Office.
She came to a stop in the open space in front of the prosecutor’s office. As she stepped out of the car, she froze in place.
“Justin?”
A black car was parked under a tree by the roadside. Justin, clad in a black overcoat, stood waiting in the bitter wind.
Before Bella could take another step, he rushed eagerly toward her.
“Bella, are you cold?”
Justin took off his coat and wrapped it tightly around her body. Still unsatisfied, he enveloped her in his embrace.
“The heater in the car was on full blast; I’m not cold at all.” Bella’s warm hands cupped his face, he was cold as ice. “But why were you waiting outside instead of in the car? The wind is so harsh.”
“I was afraid I wouldn’t see you as soon as you arrived.”
Justin grabbed her hands and brought them to his lips. “Besides, did you forget? I was in the military. Back then, I stood guard in negative 30 degrees Celsius, far colder than this. I’m used to it.”
Hearing this, Bella recalled the times they fought side by side, those days of burning passion, and she could not help the tears that welled up in her eyes. The place where she lost her pinky twitched almost imperceptibly.
Not long after, Axel strode toward them dressed in a prosecutor’s uniform. “Ax, you look so handsome!” Bella exclaimed.
“Indeed,” Justin agreed with a smile.
