Why did Justine all the way here just to remind Be of that incident? Why did he even bother


    apologizing to her?


    Be never wanted his apology. In fact, she didn’t even know what


    she truly wanted. A deep sense of disappointment and shame enveloped Bepletely, leaving her


    trembling with anger.


    She was not someone who cried easily, but at that moment, tears were streaming down her face


    uncontrobly.


    Christopher had never seen Be in such a vulnerable state before.


    The vibrant and confident woman he once knew seemed broken


    because of Justin.


    Christopher pleaded, his voice full of concern. “Be, please don’t cry.”


    Ignoring Justin’s presence, Christopher opened his arms as if there


    were no one else in the room, gently embracing the distraught


    Be’s entire body went limp, her mind in a haze as she reste forehead on Christopher’s shoulder, her


    tears quickly soaking his


    clothes.


    A rush of warmth flooded Christopher’s heart, and a faint smile


    appeared on his lips. At that moment, a sense of satisfaction filled


    the void in his heart like never before. He had never felt so happy and


    content.


    This scene delivered a blow straight to Justin’s heart. He staggered back a few steps until his back was


    against the wall, and a chill swept through his body.


    “Justin, why are you still here?” Christopher patted Be gently while he red coldly at Justin. “If you


    truly feel sorry for Be, you should honor her wishes and leave. Your presence serves no purpose


    other than reopening Be’s wounds over and over again. She has finally found peace. Why do you


    insist on reminding her of the pain she endured because of you?”


    :


    Justin stumbled out of the hospital room, his head swimming with a whirlwind of emotions. The bruise


    on his forehead throbbed painfully, its deep red hue contrasting starkly against his paleplexion, as


    if every drop of blood had been drained from his body.


    At that moment, he couldn’t bear to face Ryan or anyone else. All he wanted was solitude. He wanted a


    ce where he could retreat from


    the world and be alone with his thoughts for a while.


    With heavy steps, Justin walked down the stairs, his back leaning


    against the wall. His tall figure gradually bowed, each step ber


    than thest, as if his very bones were on the brink of crumblin


    beneath him.

    Suddenly, the door to the stairs creaked open, flooding the space w a chilly light that illuminated


    Justin’s face, which was glistening with a sheen of sweat. Justin froze for a moment, then straightened


    up immediately, gathering hisposure.


    “You’re still here? Your shamelessness truly knows no limits.”
