The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

The bad news was a heavy weight on Bella's shoulders.
"Don't be sad, Bella. Your father will make a full recovery since medical technology is so advanced now."
Justin held her tight in his embrace, pressing her head against his chest. He patiently and firmly consoled her, "If we can't get
your father the help he needs here, I'll take you and him abroad across the world to find a doctor. He'll get better. Everything will
get better."
"I'm sorry, Bella, kids..."
As a dam of emotions came crashing down, Mila closed her tear-filled eyes. "Don't blame Arnold. I gave him strict instructions
not to tell you. I didn't want you to be scared and worried, so I tried to keep the information from you as long as I could. I planned
to tell you once I found the right treatment plan. I could've done more. It's all my fault."
Arnold felt a lump in his throat. "Don't do that to yourself, Aunt Mila."
"Aunt Mila, we understand where you are coming from."
Asher pulled himself together and said in a hoarse voice, "It's not Arnold's or your fault. I could've been a better son to Dad."
"Me too. I could've been more of a family." Axel sniffled.
"Ditto." Even Drew blamed himself.
"It's neither of your fault."
Bella’s pale faces was without tear stains.Her eyes burned with rage. "It was Cameron who pushed Dad too take far. He should
be the one to responsibility and feel remorse."
"Even so, we all know that Cameron will not own up to his mistake. The best we can expect of him is not to piss Dad off again."
Axel helplessly sighed.
"I have your back if you want revenge, Bella. I'll slice Cameron's tongue off."
The veins were visible along Drew's forehead. "At least he won't be able to get under Dad's skin."

Bella kept her head down, her lashes stained with tears. She shook her head. "No, stay out of it. I'll handle it when Dad gets
better. Cameron can't escape from me."
At the hospital parking lot, Christopher pulled a long face in the car.
The humiliation from Justin and the Thompson brothers nearly got to him.
His pretense was showing cracks.
Having hidden behind a persona for many years, Christopher thought his art was seamless. However, the moment Justin held
Bella as if to claim his territory, Christopher nearly lost it. After much contemplation, Christopher decided to call the mystery man.
