The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 517
Bella did not love Justin anymore.
She no longer loved him.
Bella could not lie to herself. Despite claiming no feelings for Justin, she could feel her heart breaking.
She was used to the pain, though. In the three years she was married to Justin, the heartbreaking pain was more of a
companion to her than the man was. The pain was a long-time friend.
“What’s the point of asking these questions now, Justin? Are you delusional to think that I will be right there waiting for you?”
Bella narrowed her eyes, her gaze vulnerable. She rarely laid herself bare, and it tugged at Justin’s heartstrings. “I loved you for
thirteen years. I don’t have another thirteen years for you. I have no more love to give. I’m sick of you. I’m sick of you and the
supposed love.”
Her strong emotions cut Justin like a knife. His pale lips shivered, and he could not shake off the lump in his throat.
He realized that he was the monster.
Justin trapped her in a loveless marriage and nearly destroyed her.
“Do you really mean it, Bella?” Refusing to give up, Justin had to ask,
even at the cost of humiliating himself.
“Yes. I have never lied to you.”

Bella chuckled, her nonchalance sending chills down his spine. “I
meant it when I said I loved you. It was true that I didn’t want a
divorce. The tears I shed for you were real, too. So I was honest when I said I didn’t love you anymore.”
“Bella...”
Justin’s eyes were bloodshot as he gripped her hands. Even thought Bella was burning up, her hands were like a block of ice.
His feelings could never get to her anymore.
“I’m grateful that you saved my life again, Justin. I owe you another one. I’m happy to repay the favor if the demand isn’t too
much.” Bella spoke callously, as if he were a stranger.
It was clear that she hoped to never be involved with him after this.
Justin wanted to say something, but Bella fell asleep on his shoulder.
She looked like an adorable bunny with her rosy cheeks, fluttering lashes, and sweat-soaked head.
The man swallowed hard as his heart raced. He could not help but
hold her closer.
He once had many opportunities to do so.
Now, he had only this rare moment with her alone to cherish.

He did this to himself.
The walkie-talkie was out of range to communicate with anyone, and
he could not get a signal on his phone.
Although Justin hoped to spend more time with Bella, she had a high temperature. If the fever went on, she might experience
other
symptoms too..
Flustered, Justin checked her temperature constantly.
He was in distress because of her.
Justin was trying to figure out ways to get Bella’s fever down and to send a signal to the helicopters and park rangers to find
them.
In the end, Justin searched in the rain for a long time before locating dry branches. Drawing on his survival skills honed in the
army, he built a crackling fire.
He started a fire outside the cave to signal for help and another one in the cave to provide Bella with warmth.
The amber glow illuminated the woman’s face. She looked quiet and. peaceful. Her skin also looked flawless.
Justin’s gaze deepened as he stared intensely at her face.
“Justin...”
Bella parted her dry lips in a daze and murmured a man’s name.
“I’m here, Bella.”
Justin got down on one knee. “Do you feel warmer?”
“Justin... You’re a bastard!” With her eyes closed, Bella talked in her
sleep.

Her dirty arms waved in the air and somehow struck Justin in the
face.
It did not hurt, though. Bella was too sick to cause any harm.
