Chapter 536
After Ryan left, only Justin and Bella remained in the hospital room.
Bella recalled lan’s words as she was entering the room. Justin had
vomited blood again, and it was not a small amount. She couldn’t
help but feel a hint of panic.
If Justin couldn’t survive this ordeal or if he developed some
complications in the future, then she would never be able to repay
this debt. She would live every day burdened with self-blame.
Bella approached the bedside with a composed face and grabbed
Justin’s wrist angrily. She turned it over to check his pulse.
Justin opened his eyes to see Bella checking on him in a serious
manner, resembling an experienced doctor.
“Your current physical condition is not optimistic. You must take your
medicine immediately. It might be too late to take it tomorrow.” Bella felt extremely annoyed and was about to drop Justin’s hand.
Unexpectedly, Justin caught her cool hand in his broad, warm palm
and held it tightly.
Bella became flustered, and her breathing quickened.
“Your hands are so cold. It must be freezing outside.” Justin gently
rubbed the back of her hand with his rough fingertips.
Seeing the scars still present, he felt both heartache and guilt. His voice was hoarse as he apologized. “I’m sorry to inconvenience you
at such a late hour.”.

“If you’re ‘sorry, then you should obediently take your medicine! What’s
with the theatrics?” Bella suppressed her turbulent emotions by gritting her teeth.
She pulled her hand away from his warm palm and asked. “Are you
still a baby? Can’t you take medicine on your own? Do I have to feed it
to you?”
“No.” Justin felt a lump in his throat. He swallowed and said softly, “I just didn’t know any other way to get you to come see me. I wanted to see you, Bella.”
“Well, you’ve seen me. Can you take your medicine now?” Bella didn’t feel particularly flattered by the meek attitude of this usually strong- willed man.
Thinking back to her conversation with Declan and Steven, a hint of conflict and irritation arose from the depths of Bella’s heart.
She raised her wrist to check the time on her watch and said
impatiently, “Hurry up and take your medicine. After I’m done here, I
need to return to Hatchbay. My third brother rarely comes home to gather with us, and I don’t have time to waste here with you!”
Justin felt a sharp pain in his chest from her assertive attitude. His
open hand slowly clenched into a tight fist.
Once, she was head over heels for him, but now, even the most basic
patience towards him is gone. Yet, in the end, who could he blame but himself? Regret filled his heart.
The path to winning her back was long and arduous, with vast
mountains, wide seas, and boundless skies,

Nevertheless, he still hoped to try his best, until the day he no longer
had the ability to love her.
“Bella, you cannot deny that I became like this because of you.”
Having realized the self-pity strategy was not working, Justin
shamelessly acted like a rogue to spend more time with her. “I almost
lost my life for you. Shouldn’t you at least show me some care
instead of leaving me here without a word?”
“And what do you want, then?” Bella’s eyes were slightly red, revealing
a hint of anger.
“Take care of me until I’m discharged.” Justin fixed his gaze deeply
on her charming face.
“Haha!” Bella burst into laughter and coldly joked, “I have never seen
