Outside the window, the cold breeze of the winter night howled.
However, it was quiet, warm, andfortable in the ward.
The two beds were ced side by side. Although there was a gap
between them, Justin felt that they were still sleeping on the same
bed.
Besides,n was smart enough to ce the two beds as close as
possible.
It was toote when Be noticed it.n and the bodyguards had left
quickly, and she could not move the bed herself. Justin was still weak
and could not be of any help.
Bey on the bed, closed her eyes, and breathed evenly.
Justin alsoy down, smelling the pleasant scent emanating from her
hair. His heart thumped, and the boring ceiling before his eyes
seemed to transform into a romantic, starry sky.
His palm felt warm and wet. His fingers trembled as he slowly moved
them toward Be.
“You’d better stay put.” Be’s clear voice suddenly sounded in the
night.
Justin’s fingers stiffened.
“If not, this will be thest night you have a right hand.”
Sweat beaded Justin’s forehead as he smiled bitterly without a word.
Hey still like a corpse for God knows how long.
Finally, Be’s breathing became steady, and she fell asleep.
Justin gulped and took a deep breath. He made a big decision to
slowly but firmly hold Be’s warm hand.
He gripped her hand tightly as their fingers interlocked.
“Be, I love you. Goodnight.”
Justin closed his eyes in satisfaction, soon falling asleep.
After a while, apanied by a shallow snore, Be discreetly
opened her eyes and squeezed her fingers. Her heart raced violently.
“Rascal. Good night.”
After taking care of Justin for two days, Be made time to return to
her home in Hatchbay.
She had note home for several days and was worried about
Celeste. She needed to check on Celeste. On the other hand, she
wanted to ask M if there was any method that could eliminate or effectively control Justin’s after-

effects.
Even though she was an outstanding doctor, she could not cure every
illness.
“Amelia, how is Aunt Celeste doing?” Be hugged Amelia, who was
teary-eyed, and asked with concern.
“Mom kept hiding inside her room and refused to see anyone. She
didn’t eat anything yesterday, and the lights in her room never went off. I think she didn’t sleep at all.”
Amelia choked as she spoke, tears flowing from the corners
eyes. “I’m scared it was too much for her, and she might do something stupid. Be, what should I do?”
“No, she won’t. Although your mother looks fragile, she’s a strong person deep down. She won’t be
defeated so easily. Don’t overthink it.” Be patted Amelia’s back and could feel that she had lost
weight. Even hugging her was ufortable.
It was needless to say how mad and upset she felt.
Her family was kind and had been low-profile enough. Why should they be harmed and schemed
against by those despicable people?
Why?
“Ms. Be, you’re finally back.”
Steven rushed over with heavy, dark circles under his eyes. “Rest
assured. I’ve been rotating with two other bodyguards to keep an eye
on Madam Celeste 24/7. She won’t be in any danger. Don’t worry.”
“Aunt Celeste has bodyguards, servants, Aunt M, and Aunt Sasha. Even my dad is watching over
her. I left you here with one mission, which is to take care of Amelia. How did you do that? She’s lost so
much weight!”
Unable to suppress her anger anymore, Be vented it at Steven.
