Justin coughing up blood and fainting in front of them shocked the
three men to the core.
Luckily, they were right in front of the hospital. Ryan andn hurriedly
helped the doctors and nurses transport Justin to the emergency
room.
Steven stood on the other end of the hallway in a daze as he watched
Justin, pale as a sheet with blood staining the corner of his mouth,
get wheeled through to the emergency room.
How did this suddenly happen?
Was this another one of his tricks to gain pity?
But Justin had been fine when he brought Be back from Mount
Jaglee to the hospital. It was only when he got here that he copsed
Justin looked like such a tall and tough man, so how had he just
copsed like that?
“M-Mr. Hoffman… Mr. Salvador won’t-”n spoke tearily as he
?
clenched his fists.
“He won’t.”
Ryan watched as the light for the emergency treatment room lit up,
his heart filled with panic, and his eyes bloodshot. “Justin will be fine. He’s the toughest, most stubborn,
and bravest man I’ve ever known.
He’s definitely going to be okay.”
Right then, one of Asher’s bodyguards walked up to Steven and
bowed.
“Mr. Lovett, Mr. Thompson sent me to lead you upstairs.”
“Alright.”
Steven held a heavy heart as he turned to leave, but suddenly stopped
and said to the bodyguard in a low voice, “Mr. Justin Salvador,
president of Salvador Corporation, is undergoing emergency. treatment right now. Pass my words on
and tell the dean of the hospital to get two of the most senior doctors to treat Mr. Salvador.”
Be slept until the next evening. She slowly opened her hazy eyes,
?
feeling as if she had been fully recharged.
“Mm… Where am I…?”
She could not muster any strength, and she felt as if she was about
to fall apart.
“Be! You’re awake! It’s me, Den!” Den shouted excitedly and
threw himself onto the bed to hug her.
He had stayed up all night holding his little sister’s hand tightly, his eyes red and swollen from the
countless times he had cried through
the night.
“Den…? Are you really back?” Be’s eyes widened and slowly filled with tears, the tip of her nose
turning red.
Den nodded vigorously as he kissed his little sister’s forehead.
It was not as hot as it was before, and her fever had pretty much
subsided.
Last night, the doctor said that it was lucky she had been sent to the
hospital in time, or else it was very possible she would have gotten a
?
lung, brain, or heart infection, which would have beenplicated.
“What about your army posting? Wasn’t it important? How did you
manage to get leave toe back?” Be worried about Den
instead of worrying about herself.
“It is important, but no matter how important it is, my little sister
alwayses first.”
“Den…” Be hugged her brother around the neck and pressed he
cheek against his.
Den had not seen his little sister in a very long time. She had lost a
lot of weight since thest time he had seen her, and her gaze was
not as bright as it used to be. His heart ached like countless needles
were stabbing into his heart, and his throat burned.
“Oh, right. How did I get here?” Be asked as Den helped her sit up. She leaned weakly against the
head of the bed.
Den pursed his lips silently.
“Where’s Justin?” Be’s eyshes trembled slightly as she spoke,
her voice a little hoarse.
?
“He came back with our helicopter. He’s alive and well, Be. You
don’t need to care about him.” Den spoke coldly and dismissively.
But for some reason, Be felt a terrible, inexplicable fear, and she
asked anxiously, “Where is he?”
Right then, the door to her hospital room opened.
Asher and Steven walked in, one after another, and they were
overjoyed to see Be awake.
“Ms. Be!”
Steven was so delighted that he could not help but smile and tear up.
He was about to run over to Be, but when he saw that Den wasThis is from N?velDrama.Org.
present, he bowed slightly before walking over to kneel beside the bed
on one knee.
“You must have been scared terriblyst night, weren’t you, Steve…?”
Be was still very pale, but there was light in the beautiful eyes that curved up at him. “I’m sorry for
being willful. But there was a life at
?
stake, and I had no other choice then.”
Steven gazed deeply at her, so choked up that he could not speak and only shook his head.
He had heard that Be had nearly fallen off a cliff and shattered all the bones in her body.
It was Justin who had risked his own life to save her at the critical
moment.
“Ms. Be… There’s something I have to tell you.”
Steven hesitated but still told her. “Justin Salvador has suffered very serious internal injuries and even
coughed up blood.”
“What?!”
Be suddenly sat up straight, her eyes widening as she
unconsciously held her breath. “How did it happen?!”
This piece of news obviously also came as a shock to Asher and
Den, and the two of them looked stunned.
“I heard from the attending doctor that he suffered a heavy blow to
his back, which injured his internal organs and caused him to vomit
?
blood,” Steven answered honestly.
He might detest Justin Salvador, but he was not so small-minded as
to be jealous and conceal the truth.
Be’s eyes widened as a memory came to mind.
She suddenly remembered that when Justin dragged her back from
the edge of the cliff, he had hugged her tightly, rolled to the side to
avoid the cliff’s copse, and hit his back on arge rock.
But at the time, he had clearly said he was okay!
Liar!
Be was both anxious and angry as her eyes reddened and she
made to get out of bed.
Her action drove the three men who loved her dearly into a panic as
they all hurried to stop this little troublemaker.
“Be, what are you doing?! Are you going to look for Justin
Salvador?!” Den pressed her shoulder.
“This happened to him because of me! I can’t just sit back and do
nothing!” Be’s heart was in her throat, and she was very determined
?
to go look for Justin.
“What are you going to see him for? He deserves whatever has
happened to him. Who cares what happens to him now?!”
“Den, I-”
Den’s eyes seemed like they were about to burst into mes as he gripped her thin shoulders hard.
“You’ve wasted thirteen years of your life on him. Can’t you stop caring about that bastard from now
on?! I’m begging you… Please! Can’t you be selfish for once?!”
“Dec…”
Be took a deep breath before saying softly, “I can be ruthless, but can’t be inhumane. There’s one
thing even you guys can’t deny-if it hadn’t been for him, I might not even be alive right now.”
In the end, Den was unable to stop Be.
She still inquired about the ward Justin was staying in and pushed on the door with Steven’s support.
But they were both stunned by what they found.
The hospital room was empty. Even the nkets had been folded neatly.
But Be could still smell Justin’s unique scent in the air, and it wrapped tightly around her like an
impermeable.
?
“Excuse me, may I ask where the patient who was staying in this room is?” Be called out to a nurse
to ask.
“He was
discharged in the afternoon.”
