Chapter 511
It was a picture of a rainstorm, falling stones, mud, and a thick fog.
That was the last thing Bella saw before she lost consciousness. Despair had gotten a grip on her.
Still, she hung on to her last breath and pushed the hiker up before the landslide towered over them.
Even though the chances were slim, Bella still hoped the hiker could
survive.
She did not deserve to wear the uniform with pride and be there if she did not prepare herself to face the worst. Death did not scare her. If her sacrifice had brought value, her life in the bustling world would
not have been in vain.
Bella was not brave in the past. Afraid of getting a jab when she was sick, she would cry and make a fuss to prevent her father and three stepmothers from taking her to see a doctor.
She met Justin here when she was 11 years old.
Justin’s courage, resilience, and steady gaze left a lasting impression on her. Despite being strangers, he was willing to put his life on the line for her, and the realization shook the depths of her soul.
It dawned on her for the first time that there was another way of living.
life to the fullest.
Even though she later married him and he had hurt her so much, she
could not wipe off one fact.
Justin had changed her. Her life was different because of him..
Time passed, and the constellation shifted.
Everything seemed to happen in the blink of an eye.
Bella fell unconscious for a moment, but she was lost in a long and
strange dream.
She dreamed about being in her parents’ loving embrace and celebrating her birthday with her brothers.
Asher held her and placed her on top of a pile of presents. Axel sang the birthday song off-key. Declan carried a cake and blew out the candles with her, while Drew stuffed the toy gun she wanted in her
hand.
Justin was there, too.
She remembered fighting alongside him on the battlefield, their lives. hanging by the thread.
The next time Bella saw Justin again, he was by Nigel’s side. She could not take her eyes away from him.
She recalled Justin sliding the divorce papers across the table to her..
He was determined and callous enough to make her leave.
The heartbreak coursed through her veins.
Bella woke up abruptly and gasped for air. Her sweat and the rain gave her shivers.
“I-I’m alive! I’m alive!”
Overjoyed, she closed her eyes and let the tears flow.
If she had not dreamed about the bastard and the hurt he caused her,
she might have died before she knew it.
Now that Bella was awake, she was terrified by what she saw.
The landslide swept her somewhere, and she found herself lying on a
slope.
Her backpack was hooked to a not-so-sturdy branch while her body
was halfway under the dirt. She was nearly buried alive.
“Damn it! Tsk.”
Bella took a deep breath to calm herself down. She gritted her teeth.”
I can’t die. I can’t die. What would happen to my father and my
brothers if I died? God has given me a chance to live. Today must not
be the day I leave the world.”
Crack!
The branch on top of her head snapped a little.
