Faced with Be’s honesty, Christopher felt his heart ache. His hands. were tightly clenched under the


    bedsheets.


    “Justin and I were married for three years, but I’ve known him for even longer than that, much longer


    than you can imagine,” Be spoke


    calmly.


    She could not deny that those memories still caused a slight


    heartache. “He was once my entire world. Butter, he tore my heart


    apart when he divorced me. If it were you, could you turn a blind eye


    to someone like that? Could you truly expect me to forget everything


    that happened?”


    “Be, I…” Christopher began, but Be interrupted him.


    “But don’t think that my life revolves solely around Justin. It’s not that


    extreme.” Be waved her hand casually, masking the sadness in her eyes. “Life must go on. I just


    need some time.”


    “Be, no matter how long it takes, I’ll wait for you.” Christopher’s


    pale face showed the anguish he felt. He struggled to sit up, but Be


    stopped him.


    “Chris! You’re still injured! Don’t move recklessly!”


    “Even if it takes 10 years, 20 years, or a lifetime, I’m willing to wait for you to heal. I’ll wait for you to


    notice me.” Christopher’s voice


    quivered as he held Be’s hand tightly.


    “Let go of me first. Stop behaving like this.” Be widened her eyes, quickly pulling her hand away.


    As Christopher was still weak, his body swayed, and he nearly fell off


    the bed.


    “Mr. Iverson, be careful!” Taylor rushed to support him and pleaded


    with Be. “Ms. Thompson, I beg you. Can you look after Mr. Iverson,


    considering he suffered a serious injury for your sake? Even a small


    gesture would suffice.”


    “Taylor, forget it. Don’t trouble Ms. Thompson. Cough, cough…”


    Christopher held his chest and coughed a few times. His forehead


    was drenched in sweat. “She’s not at fault. It’s me… I was too


    stubborn.”


    Be furrowed her brows lightly, remaining silent.


    At that moment, a series of “dings” echoed in the room as multiple


    phones rang simultaneously.


    Be felt a wave of confusion wash over her. While two phones


    ringing might be dismissed as a coincidence, the simultaneous


    ringing of three phones raised suspicions. She took out her phone


    and looked at the screen.


    It was a Twitter notification.

    Be stared at the screen, her eyes turning crimson red. Her heart


    sank like a stone into an icyke.


    “Oh my! Ms. Thompson, Mr. Iverson, what’s this trending news?”


    Taylor eximed as he scrolled through the screen. “President


    Salvador and the Hoffman heiress in a hotel room? Wow, this is a


    huge scandal for sure!”


    Christopher remainedposed. His eyes narrowed slightly.


    “Chris, I have something to attend to. I’ll be out for a while. I’lle back to see youter,” Be said

    stiffly and turned around. Her steps. were heavy as she walked toward the door. Her shoulders were


    trembling faintly.


    “Be!” Christopher called out urgently.


    Be paused, taking a deep breath.


    He said, “No matter what happens, I’ll be on your side. Anyone in this


    world might betray you, but I will never do so.”
