Be thought, ‘What the hell! Is Ryan okay?!’


    Be screamed in her heart andughed dryly. “Mr. Hoffman, you have a lot of jokes today…”


    “I’m not kidding, Anna. I’m serious!”


    Ryan was agitated and wanted to hold Be’s shoulder, but Be quickly stepped back and dodged


    him.


    “Mr. Hoffman, if I remember correctly, I have already told you my stance during the day. Do you want


    me to say something particrly unpleasant and hurtful in order for you to understand?”


    “I know. You rejected me.”


    Ryan looked at her deeply and smiled bitterly. “I also know that you’re with Asher now, but I want to tell


    you that I will always be standing right behind you. As long as you look back, I don’t mind being your


    rebound


    guy or sidepiece.”


    Be thought, ‘Sidepiece?! Does he think I’m like Wyatt?!’


    Ryan’s eyes were alluring, especially when they were filled with such sadness and sincerity. They could


    hook one’s soul. No wonder he was so popr with thedies.


    Unfortunately, Be waspletely immune to Ryan’s charms.


    Inparison, Be preferred Justin’s beautiful eyes, which were more ruthless than affectionate.


    “By the way, Anna, who is the man who attacked Justin? Are you close to him?” Ryan asked nervously.


    “Young Madam!”


    Just when Be was at a loss about how to answer that question, Ian walked toward them in a hospital


    gown.


    “Why did you get out of bed?”


    Be hurriedly brushed past Ryan and stepped forward to support Ian. “Although you weren’t seriously


    injured, you still had a slight concussion when you fell and hit your head on the ground. You should rest


    more. Don’t move around.”


    “Young Madam, were you the one who rescued Mr. Salvador?” Ian asked excitedly.


    “I… I didn’t do anything.” Be’s voice was dull. She felt guilty about what happened.


    “I knew you still have feelings for Mr. Salvador!”


    “Mr. Harris, has Mr. Salvadorpleted his treatment?” Be ignored Ian and changed the subject.


    Ian nodded. His eyes were hopeful as he said, “Young Madam, can you please stay? At least… you


    can

    just take a look at Mr. Salvador.”


    Be took a deep breath and walked toward Justin’s ward with sluggish steps.


    After all, her brother beat Justin. Everything happened because of her, so she could not let it be.


    In the ward, Justin was leaning on the bedside and looking out the window. Even though his face was


    bruised, he still looked very handsome. His stern and proud face looked a little lonely at the moment.


    He even looked a little fragile.


    It was this face that Be had loved for 13 years.


    To this day, her heart was still moved when she saw him, but the feeling was no longer the same.


    “Mr. Salvador.”


    “I will find out who did this tonight and pursue responsibility to the end. Before I get angry, you’d better


    disappear from my sight!” Justin’s voice was cold, and his face was glum.


    Be had always been stubborn and rebellious. She liked to go against orders.


    She walked to the bed and stared at the man’s gloomy face fearlessly. “Mr. Salvador, I am here to


    solemnly apologize to you for what happened tonight. If you’re mad, you cane at me and hold me


    ountable. After all, he only hurt you because of me, so I won’t shirk this responsibility. If you want to


    settle it privately, I am willing to take responsibility for this matter. I don’t think you want to make this


    public knowledge and deal with your ex-wife in court, right? You’re a respectable person, and you’re


    about to marry Ms. Gold. Getting entangled in awsuit with your ex-wife will probably attract a lot of


    spection. It’ll just make you look bad. Also, if this matter gets big, Grandpa will catch wind of it, and


    we won’t be able to exin it. Don’t you think so?”


    Every sentence shook Justin’s heart.


    He thought, ‘Anna is siding with that murderer! She’s defending him and taking on all the me for him.


    How could she protect him like that?! She even protected a murderer, but what about me? Who am I to


    her? What a joke!’


    “Anna… Who is he and what is his rtionship with you? You were willing to die for him.” Justin’s eyes


    were red, and his heart was aching.


    “That wasn’t a real gun, and I’m not dead. I’m fine.” Be’s eyes were calm.


    “Is there a difference? It makes no difference the moment you took the bullet for him!”


    Justin tried to get off the bed, but his whole body was in pain, and he had no strength. He pounded his


    fists on the bed angrily. “You’ve been married to me for three years, and you keep saying you love me


    … But look at what you did! None of the things you didtely show that you love me. Do you take me


    as a fool?!”
