lan thought, ‘Did the almighty Ralph just claim that he isn’t as good as Bella when it comes to throwing knives? Damn, Bella is truly a beautiful monster!’
At the Thompson Hospital, Bella and Justin quickly rushed over after hearing the news and took care of everything.
Rachel had made it through the critical phase thanks to the timely treatment and was moved to a general ward.
Apart from some bruising on his face and a broken left arm, lan was mostly unscathed. He stayed in the room next door to Rachel’s.
However, lan did not plan on staying put. Once his bones were reattached, he quickly went to check on Rachel’s condition.
The situation at the hospital was left in the care of Bella and Justin, while Ralph rushed back to the police station to handle the dangerous criminal who attempted to murder a witness.
At this moment, Dr. Cartman came by to personally conduct an examination on Rachel.
Justin put his arm around Bella’s waist, holding her gently as he reassured her softly. “Bella, don’t worry. Everything is alright. Rachel is safe now. That’s all that matters.”
Bella looked at the girl with reddened eyes, feeling a heavy sense of guilt in her chest as she lay unconscious. “I’m glad you sent lan today. I was thinking about getting Ralph to speak to Rachel’s mother. But imagine if we had been careless? What if lan and Ralph had come just a bit later?”
The possibilities they had considered were merely theoretical, but they still sent shivers down their spines.
A small mistake in those scenarios could have resulted in the death of an innocent girl or the loss of a loyal secretary who was like family to them.
Both outcomes would have left them with deep remorse and anguish for years to
come.
Seeing tears welling up in Bella’s almond eyes, Justin felt a tightness in his throat and an ache in his heart as he pulled her into his arms. He whispered comforting words and stroked her back, just wanting to ease her pain and self-blame without even knowing what to say.
lan felt even more helpless. “Young Madam! Ms. Mead and I are both fine. Please… Please don’t cry! Your tears make me feel like crying too!”
“I could have done better. I could
have protected her.” Bella tried hard to hold back her feelings, but a tear still rolled down her radiant face. “I made it easy for the bad guys to take advantage. I feel so stupid!”
“If you’re stupid, then what am I, an idiot?” Justin said affectionately as he rested his forehead against hers.
Bella replied, “You’re not an idiot.”
She playfully punched the man’s abs and giggled through her tears. “You’re a puppy that follows me everywhere.”
lan chuckled and dropped his head, a wide smile spreading across his face.
Justin certainly had a way to cheer Bella up.

Bella and Justin were so sad that they couldn’t say a word, while lan’s eyes suddenly turned red.
