Justin took a step forward and reached out to embrace Be.


    His eyes were red, and his hot and trembling breath enveloped Be.


    “Don’t touch me!” Be eximed, taking a step back.


    Her guard was up like a porcupine with all its spikes raised.


    In desperation, she threw the ice cream in her hand at Justin’s shirt.


    “Be! I’m telling the truth!” Justin’s arms froze in mid-air. He was torn between wanting to be close to


    her and fearing her rejection. He was almost on the verge of losing his sanity. “I called you many times


    tonight, but you didn’t answer! I thought something had happened to you. I was worried about you all


    night!”


    Be was stunned.


    ‘Many missed calls? When did that happen?’ She wondered. ‘Is he making it up? I didn’t receive a


    single call from him! What a lying


    scoundrel! He couldn’t evene up with a decent lie?’


    “Later, I received several photos from an anonymous number. In


    those photos, you were hugging a stranger and walking into a hote


    with him! I was afraid you were in danger, so I went to the hotel to


    find you. That was when I was surrounded by the reporters.” Justin exined desperately.


    Be looked at him with a mocking gaze. “Justin, if you’re going to make up an excuse, at least make it


    somewhat believable. If I had


    known you were going to spew such nonsense, I wouldn’t have


    bothereding to see you at all.”


    “I have evidence!” Justin insisted.


    Justin gritted his teeth and pulled out his phone from his pocket with trembling hands.


    Be’s heart raced as she pursed her lips in silence, feeling hopeful and willing to give him a chance.


    “These are the photos I received. Look, isn’t the person in this photo …” Justin continued to exin.


    Suddenly, he stared nkly at the phone screen. He repeatedly checked his message inbox, but the


    photos sent to him were all gone!


    His trembling fingers frantically swiped the screen. His bewildered gaze almost bore a hole through his


    phone. In the end, he couldn’t find any trace of the photos he intended to use as evidence.


    “Gone!” Justin eximed, his voice filled with frustration. “They’re all


    gone!”


    Be smiled, but there was not a hint of warmth in her eyes, icing Justin to the core. “Justin, if you


    haven’t found a good excuse, yo don’t need to rush to see me. I don’t want to see you, not now, a


    not in the future.”


    Watching her brush past him, Justin felt a chill run through his body. Be… Be, don’t go!” He called


    out, reaching out to stop her, when another voice interrupted, “Be.”


    Be suddenly looked up and saw Christopher standing a few steps away. He was wearing a patient’s


    gown, with only a cashmere coat draped over his shoulders. His face was paler than the snow.

    “Chris! How did you get out of the hospital? Don’t you know that you’re still injured?” Be ran to


    Christopher, her tone filled with reproach. “Why did youe here? How did you know I was here?”


    “After you left the hospital, I couldn’t rest well, so I had someone follow you. But please don’t


    misunderstand my intentions. I’m not stalking you. I just want to protect you.” Christopher exined


    weakly, his voice filled with concern. “How could I let a girl like you go out ale at night? I’m not


    that heartless.”


    Justin’s handsome face turned cold, and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He wanted to tear


    Christopher apart.


    “It’s too cold out here. Let’s go back.” Be said, lowering her gaze


    and helping Christopher.


    “Was it your doing, Christopher?” Justin’s voice cut like a sharp de,


    hoarse with underlying anger.


    “Mr. Salvador, you and Ms. Hoffman were caught having a secret rendezvous in the hotel. How is that


    my doing? Are you using me?”


    Christopher couldn’t help butugh, his eyes full of derision. “Wasn’ it just you two having some fun


    together?”Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
