“Protecting her is something I should do. I’ve never thought of taking credit or asking for anything in


    return.”


    Justin slowly closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. “It


    was what I owed her in the first ce. Now, I’m just making up for the


    mistakes I made over the past three years.”


    “With your life?!”


    “With what, then? Money? Don’t you know the Thompsons’


    circumstances?” Justin raised an eyebrow.


    Ryan scratched his head. It was true. They were rich enough t


    his life.


    Justin thought about Be and how she looked extremely pale in his arms, and an uncontroble pain


    rose from the bottom of his heart.


    Had she woken up? Had her fever subsided? Were any of her bones


    fractured from hanging off the cliff for so long?


    She was all he could think of.


    Justin took a deep breath, and his hands clenched tightly in the bedsheets, suppressing an impulse


    that felt like it was about to leap


    out of his chest.


    Had he fallen for her?


    He must have.


    Justin swallowed as his heart began to beat faster and he took


    deeper breaths. A blush colored his pale but handsome face.


    “Huh? Justin, why is your face so red? Are you having a fever?”


    Ryan hurriedly reached over to feel Justin’s forehead, but Justin smacked his hand away in annoyance.


    “Ouch! That hurt!”


    Ryan shook his hand off and chuckled. “That was a pretty strong


    p. It looks like you’re doing fine. Your self-defense skills haven’t


    deteriorated.”


    Right then, there was an urgent knock on the door.


    Before the two could respond, the hospital room’s door suddenly


    opened.


    But before he could speak, a clear and pleasant voice that held a


    sharp edge cut in from behind.


    “Justin Salvador, you’re seriously injured. Why did you secretly transfer to a different hospital without


    telling me instead of staying


    put? What are you up to this time?!”


    With Steven’s help, Be stormed into their view with great


    momentum, like aet shattering the horizon.


    She had taken a shower and changed into an aqua-blue dress, over


    which she was wearing a chic white cashmere sweater that made her


    skin glow. It felt like a refreshing spring had flowed into his heart with


    her appearance.


    Be raised her chin slightly, not looking unwell at all. The sound of


    her sharp stilettos signified her.This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    She glittered from head to toe as she gazed coldly at Justin.


    It was as if the heart-wrenching kiss they shared while they were alonest night had not happened.


    Justin pursed his dry lips tightly as he frowned, feeling unhappy.


    “I’m talking to you. Are you mute now?”


    Although Be was expressionless, she had been secretly observing his haggard face and felt even


    more angry because of this. He


    grew unhappier. “What are you trying to do by hiding your injurie


    from me? Are you trying to get my attention?”


    Ryan was a bit intimidated by Be’s powerful stance. She was jus


    like a domineering queen.


    This made Justin, who was leaning weakly against the bed and


    looking at Be somewhat resentfully, look more like a poor husband


    who had been neglected by his busy wife.


    Once this image set in, the originally tense situation suddenly


    becameedic.


    Ryan snorted, unable to hold back, and then burst intoughter.
