THE DIVORCED HEIRESS’S REVENGE - Season 6 Episode 38

Just as Bella stepped into the hospital room, Steven received a call from Declan.

Steven answered, “Mr. Declan.”

“Steven! As Bella’s secretary, why didn’t you report Bella’s whereabouts to us immediately?”

Declan bombarded him with questions. “Why are you and Bella now at the Deux Hospital? Is she

looking for Justin?”

On the other end, Asher’s steady voice followed, “Dec, calm down.”

In reality, Declan had a gentle personality. However, when it came to Bella’s matters, he instantly

became aggressive.

Steven was greatly surprised and blinked. “Mr. Declan, how know?”

After all, Bella kept her visit to see Justin confidential!

“Satellite tracking.” Asher sighed helplessly. “Declan is about to employ tactics for capturing wanted

criminals. How hard is it for hir to find Bella?”

Steven was rendered speechless.

“Declan, don’t worry. Knowing Bella’s personality, she won’t come back even if you scold her and hit

her.” Asher said in a laid-back manner, “We’re all adults. Let her go.”

“I will dispatch a team of security guards to surround the hospital and keep an eye on the situation

outside the room. Steven, I need you to watch closely tonight. If Justin does anything to Bella, you must

inform me immediately,” Declan instructed.

“Yes, Mr. Declan!” Steven felt the pressure emanating from the young colonel. He was almost ready to

stand at attention.

Declan declared a chilling warning, intense anger evident in his voice.”

If Justin dares to harm my little sister, even a little bit, I’ll make sure he never walks out of that hospital

alive!”

Justin happily applied the ointment and took his medicine since Bella was willing to accompany him.

Although the hospital dinner was bland and lacked variety, Justin felt like he was enjoying a feast

because Bella was by his side. He thought this simple meal was the most delicious thing he had eaten

in years.

Seeing him devour the food like he hadn’t eaten in days, Bella found it somewhat amusing.

She decided to order a portion as a late-night snack for herself.

The result was a rather unappetizing meal. But she stuck to her principle of not wasting food and

finished it.

“You should eat more nutritious foods to rejuvenate your body.

Perhaps something soupy and comforting,” Bella casually suggested.

“Great, can you make them for me?” Justin looked at her with anticipation.

“I used to make them for you all the time, but you never appreciated them,” Bella sneered, pushing the

meal box aside.

She picked up her pajamas and toiletries and headed toward the bathroom. “Wilma is good at cooking.

Have her make something for you.”

With a slam, the bathroom door closed.

Justin felt a lump in his throat upon hearing those words. Bitterness lingered in his heart. It seemed that

starting from scratch again and trying to reclaim what was lost was indeed an arduous journey.

Bella emerged from the bathroom wearing a peach-colored silk pajama set.

Even without makeup, her skin was still as translucent and tender as a peeled lychee.

She had a youthful innocence that made her look more like 18 than her actual age of 24.

Justin’s thin lips pursed slightly. His usually steady heartbeat surged in response to her presence.

“What are you looking at? Never seen me without makeup?” Bella sprayed her face with a mist, feeling

the dryness in the room.

“I have, frequently in the past,” Justin replied calmly, trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart. “It’s just

that I got emotional just now.”

“You got emotional just by looking at me? Well, I only saw the lust in your eyes.” Bella spoke

sarcastically as she walked over to the sofa and took a seat,

Justin was momentarily speechless

This woman had already reached the pinnacle of cursing without using any vulgar language. If she

were to scold him, it would be the epitome of eloquence.

“Those who trespass my territory shall be killed without mercy.” Bella lay horizontally on the sofa. She

wore a silk eye mask and covered herself with a blanket. She quickly adjusted herself into a

comfortable position and declared, “I’m going to sleep.”

“Come and sleep in the bed,” Justin gently suggested.

“Justin, we’re divorced. Do you still fantasize about sharing a bed with your ex-wife? Are you asking for

death?” Bella asked coldly.

“No, you’ve misunderstood.” Justin couldn’t help but smile bitterly. ” I’ll give you the bed.”

“Say one more word, and I’ll leave immediately. Since you’ve taken your medicine, there’s nothing that

can hold me here.” Bella dismissed him, completely in control.

This time, Justin didn’t dare to say anything more.

Finally convincing her to stay the night, he couldn’t afford to ruin this tranquil moment.

The lights were switched off, and the room fell into peaceful silence.

Justin was not sleepy at all. He lay on his side and stole glances at Bella without blinking.

Under the soft moonlight, Bella looked like a perfectly proportioned sculpture lying on her side. Even

with her back turned towards him, she looked beautiful.

“Still looking? If you keep looking, I’ll leave,” Bella suddenly said, as if she had eyes on her back.

“Sorry for disturbing your rest.” Justin’s heart trembled.

Now, he was truly cautious, humble, and timid.

“No, it’s just that when you’re asleep, your breathing isn’t like this. I can instantly tell whether you’re

asleep or not,” Bella said.

As soon as the words were spoken, both of them were stunned.

Bella suddenly felt a faint, indescribable pain in her heart. She curled up her slender body, clutching the

edge of her clothes tightly.

She was a little angry with herself. ‘How deeply in love was I that even the slightest details of that man

became familiar to my heart?’

Justin’s eyes widened in astonishment, a profound sense of guilt rising within him.

The pitch-black room seemed to make the air thin, making it hard for him to breathe.

For the past three years, every night, he slept soundly. But what about Bella? How did she endure

those lonely and desolate nights?

“Bella, I was too much of a jerk in the past.” After a while, he expressed remorse again, his voice deep

and hoarse.

“Let it go. It’s all in the past. I just hope that none of us repeats the same mistakes.”

“Bella, I’m serious.”

Bella closed her eyes, gently interrupting him with a smile. “If you liked me, you would have liked me a

long time ago. Why wait until now? Even if you like me now, it’s just a change in your taste. I’m not a

fool. How could I take your momentary whims as solemn vows?”
