THE DIVORCED HEIRESS’S REVENGE - Season 6 Episode 83

Suddenly, Justin’s eyes darkened with a hint of red.

At this moment, Bella once again gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, causing his heart to skip a beat.

She took the disinfectant and ointment from the medical kit left by Dr. Hunt and skillfully cleaned his wounds.

“Bella,” Justin called out to her softly.

Bella maintained her elegant composure but applied the ointment with a bit more force as a warning.

Justin felt the increased pain and furrowed his brow, but he persisted. “Bella, you remind me of someone, an old acquaintance.”

Bella was earnestly tending to his wounds and casually asked, “Who?”

“I don’t know.”

“Don’t know? How is that possible?”

“Yeah, how is it possible? But I really don’t know.”

Justin laid on his side. His misty, starry eyes were dazed as he stared at the moon outside, lost in his memories.

Before him was a determined and stubborn woman.

“Back then, when I was a soldier in the peacekeeping force, I met her on the battlefield.” Bella’s hand, which was gripping the sterilized cotton, trembled violently at Justin’s words. Her heartbeat intensified dramatically at that moment, and her face was pale with fear.

The room was so tranquil that she could hear her heart beating loudly. If this continued, she was afraid that she would reveal her identity with her abnormal reactions.

Fortunately, Justin had his back turned to her, so he could not see her currently exposed expression.

“That time, our brigade received the impossible mission of rescuing hostages trapped in a terrorist hub in Kridor. We had to transfer them to a safe house and escort them to the embassy in East Kridor.”

He continued. “We had less than a hundred soldiers, but we attempted to take down a well- armed terrorist organization equipped with heavy firearms. Honestly, it was a suicide mission. At that time, I had no desires or attachments, so I never thought about coming back alive.”

Justin laughed self-deprecatingly. He had a bitter smile as he continued, “If it weren’t for encountering that little dove, I think I wouldn’t have lived until now. She did her best to pull me back to the camp, and if it weren’t for her encouragement, I would have given up.” “Little… Dove?” Bella’s voice trembled.

“Yeah. I don’t know the name of the girl who saved me. She was wearing a white coat at the time and wore a mask that covered most of her face, only revealing a pair of beautiful and bright eyes. She was also a medical staff member, so I simply gave her a nickname.”

‘Little dove… I like that nickname,’ Bella thought.

“Later, when I woke up from my coma, she had already left the camp, and I didn’t even have the chance to ask for her name… It’s such a pity.”

Justin sighed helplessly and said, “Since I returned to Savrow, I have never stopped searching for the little dove’s whereabouts. But despite using all my connections and means, it’s like she evaporated from this world, leaving no trace at all.”

Bella hurriedly pressed down on her fluttering heart. Her beautiful eyes widened, and her palms were sweaty. ‘So, he had never forgotten me. He still remembered me.’

“So, when you were treating my wounds just now, I vaguely felt that you resembled the little dove. You reminded me of her.”

“Hmph! Justin, you’ve had quite a few women in your heart over all these years.” Bella suppressed her panicking heart and teased him. “If I remember correctly, you hadn’t broken up with Rosalind when you were in the military, right?”

Justin pursed his thin lips in frustration. ‘Why did this woman manage to connect everything to Rosalind every time I said something?”

Bella teased. “That’s right. When you were in the military, you couldn’t be with your loved one, and there was no way to alleviate your loneliness. Did you find a woman to take care of your physical needs?”

“Bella.” Justin’s tone carried a hint of displeasure.

“This is because you couldn’t find that ‘little dove’. If you had found her, who knows? You might have had a fling in the army back then,” Bella chuckled coldly.

“Bella, please don’t mock my lifesaver like this.” Justin raised his eyebrows slightly and suddenly became serious. “Although I only had a brief encounter with the little dove, she holds an irreplaceable place in my heart. I swear, my feelings for her are only gratitude and respect. There aren’t any romantic feelings between us. You can beat me, scold me, or trample my self-esteem into pieces, but I hope you can respect her.”
