The Thompsons took Be and Steven away while the police


    apprehended the hitmen.


    The scene was horrifically bloody.


    Only Justin stood frozen, his hand holding the gun. The scuffle with the hitmen did not even mess up


    his hair. Yet, Justin felt more


    drained than when he was fighting on the battlefield,


    “Mr. Salvador.”


    Ralph led two police officers to Justin and nced at the gun in his hand, his eyes unreadable. “Please


    come with us for further investigation, Mr. Salvador.”


    “Hey! What’s the meaning of this?”


    grabbed the gun from the killer. I hope you’re not assuming that Mr.


    Salvador pulled the trigger. If Mr. Salvador hadn’t stepped in, Ms.


    Be could’ve…”


    “Enough,n.” Justin stoppedn and faced Ralph. “Alright. I’ll go with.


    you.”


    “Please don’t take this the wrong way, Mr. Salvador. We’re not listing


    you as a suspect. We have procedures to follow in police work. We


    are hoping you could help us with our investigation.”


    Ralph murmured in an unusually nice tone, “My sister will be


    cooperating in the investigation too. She is rather emotional and


    1914


    requires medical attention now. I’ll collect her statement tomorrow.”


    The thought of Be sucked the air out of Justin. “Captain Thompson,


    can I check on Be? I’m worried about her.”


    In other circumstances, Ralph would have rejected him.


    However, Justin saved Be from the jaws of danger. Ralph could not be so cruel as to turn down


    Justin’s lowly request.


    The air was thick with tension in the hospital.


    Steven was in surgery to get stitches for his cuts.


    The gash on his left shoulder was deep, and a slight mistake on the


    operating table could cost him his arm.


    Be wanted to perform surgery on Steven, but Asher and Drew


    stopped her.


    Not in the best state of mind and health, Be likely would notst


    the whole surgery.


    “Don’t worry, Be. I sought out the best surgeons in the city.


    Whatever it takes, they will do their best to save Steve’s left arm.”


    Asher hugged Be’s trembling body and consoled her.


    “It’s all my fault. I am the reason why Steve is in surgery now.” Guilt


    overwhelmed Be. Her eyes welled up.


    “Don’t say that, Be. No one expected this to happen.” It distressed


    Drew to see Be upset.


    A flurry of footsteps ensued.

    “Be!”


    Axel and Den, who had been missing in action for a while, heard


    the news and made their way over from the other end of the corridor.


    Apart from Ralph, who was on the way, all the Thompson brothers


    were present.


    There was no doubt that these brothers wanted to be there for their


    sister when it mattered.


    “Den!” Drew’s eyes lit up at the sight of Den.


    It was no secret in the Thompson family that Drew and Den were


    the closest growing up.


    Their affinity might have something to do with sharing their mother’s


    Axel pouted at the contrasting treatment between the brothers.


    Den nodded at Drew before rushing to Be’s side.


    “Be? I’m here, Be.”

    Be lifted her pale face and narrowed her swollen eyes at Den, her lips quivering. “You’re back,


    Den. I screwed up… I screwed up big time…”


    Den swallowed hard, his heart grieving. He held his sister’s cold hands. “It’s okay, Be. Don’t be


    scared. It’s okay that you screwed up. My only fear is that you won’t tell me when something is wrong. I


    will always have your back.”
