Justin’s broad and tall figure shielded her. His breath gradually


    weakened, bing morebored.


    “Be… Are you okay?”


    “Are you a fool?! At a time like this, I should be asking you that.” Be


    growled at him, her voice low as tears welled in her eyes.


    Justin’s head throbbed, his vision bing increasingly blurry.


    Despite that, he still smiled tenderly at her. “If you’re concerned about


    me, then I’ll…”


    Suddenly, Justin’s mind went nk, and everything went dark before


    him.


    Be’s heart raced. She opened her arms and embraced his faltering


    figure, hoarsely calling out his name


    “Justin!”

    The thug who attempted to harm Celeste was promptly subdued by the Thompson family’s bodyguards


    and taken to the police station by Ralph.


    As the man was escorted into the police car, Be unexpectedly dashed over, her eyes red. She was


    ready to physically confront the


    man.


    Ralph promptly held her back, whispering in her ear, both coaxing and


    advising, “Be! Leave it to me. Let me handle this scum! Don’t dirty


    your hands with such filth. It’s not worth it!”


    “I’m going to kill him… I’m going to kill him!”


    Be’s beautiful eyes teared up, almost hysterically struggling in


    Ralph’s embrace, still wanting to hit the man.


    Asher and Axel rushed over, both equally stunned by the scene.


    They knew that even though their younger sister had a fiery temper, she was a strong-willed person


    who remained calm even in the face


    of storms. They had never seen her lose control like this before.


    The man was handcuffed and seated in the police car. Before the car drove away, he even leaned out,


    revealing a sinister smirk directed at


    Be.


    “Ralph! Make sure not to go easy on him. Absolutely not!” Be was consumed by anger. She hated


    the man to the point that her eyes.


    turned bloodshot.


    “Don’t worry, Be.” Ralph nodded firmly and then boarded the


    car.


    Be stood in the cold wind with clenched fists.


    “Be.” Asher walked over, embracing Be’s shoulder and pulling her into aforting hug.

    “Justin has already been taken to the nearest hospital in an


    ambnce. Dad went there as soon as he heard. He’ll arrange for the


    best doctors. Justin will be fine.”


    “Yeah, Be.” Axel joined in to console, “That guy used to be in the


    military. He’s tough as nails. It’s probably just a few bruises. He can


    handle it.”


    “Handle it?”


    Be felt a sharp pain in her chest, nearly biting her teeth to pieces. ” That was an iron rod! No matter


    how tough he is, he’s still a human. It’s fortunate that he didn’t die on the spot from a blow to the head


    with an iron rod. How can he handle that?!”


    Axel’s eyes narrowed. Realizing it was not a good time for jokes, he


    felt a twinge of guilt.


    “I know all the doctors at our hospital. Who among them can be better than me?” Be took a deep


    breath, breaking free from her big brother’s embrace. “I’m going to the hospital now. If anything


    happens to Justin, that thug is done for!”


    Watching the stubborn figure of his younger sister leave, the two


    brothers sighed.


    Axel asked anxiously. “Ash, did I say something wrong just now?”


    Asher answered, “Yes. Regardless, Justin also saved Be. Beside he’s in critical condition now. You


    shouldn’t joke about it.”


    “Sigh, my bad, my bad… I know we owe a lot to Justin. Without him, it would be Be being rushed to


    the hospital. But my mouth works faster than my brain, and I didn’t mean any harm.”


    Axel regretted it more and more. He was almost on the verge of tears. “Ash, you have to help me… I’m


    really afraid Be will be mad at me!”


    “Don’t worry, that won’t happen. Be doesn’t hold grudges against


    us.”
