“I screwed up so badly, Den. There’s no way I can make up for
what I did.”
Be closed her eyes in agony and cried in Asher’s arms.
They had seen Be cry before.
Be had cried her fair share of tears throughout her childhood. The
public saw Be as a valiant soldier and a proud queen. Only her
brothers knew Be was just an ordinary girl who was vulnerable and
in need of love.
It was different this time.
Be suffered a devastating blow, and they believed it could take a
long time before she could ovee the trauma.
Asher and Drew got the full story while on their way to the scene.
Despite being severely injured, Steven was alive and had a chance to
recover.
Linny’s vitals were failing when she was transported into the ICU.
Be nearly dropped to her knees to beg the doctors to save Linny’s
life.
The brothers silently prayed for the brave and poor Linny to pull
through.
“Asher, I heard that Steve is badly injured. Have the Lovetts been
contacted?” Axel asked with concern.
Asher turned glùm. “When Steve was wheeled into the surgery room, he urged me not to tell his
parents, as they are old. Mrs. Lovett is not in good health, and the news might be too hard for her to
ept.”
Axel said, “But it would take several months for Steve to get better.
We can keep the incident a secret now, but not for long.”
“In that case, we should wait until after the surgery when Steve’s
vitals are stable to tell the Lovetts. They would find it easier to ept
the truth then.”
“All of you are here.” Ralph rushed over.

sessful in their own right, and Be could not be prouder of them.
Yet the presence of her brothers could notfort Be.
She still felt unsettled.
A fragile girl took a bullet for her, and she watched helplessly as Linny copsed. Anyone with a tinge
of conscience would be lost in
overwhelming guilt.
“Ralph, didn’t you go to the station to take statements? Why are-”
Drew paused in shock.
Somehow, Justin stood tall, keeping several steps away to give the
family some space.
Even if Justin and Be got back together, life for Justin after marriage would be less than peaceful.
The Thompson brothers stared at Justin withplicated looks on their faces.
Be rubbed her swollen eyes and took heavy footsteps toward the man.
Justin watched her approach, his heart pounding.
“Are you alright? Are your wounds taken care of?” Justin asked in a raspy voice.
Instead of answering his questions, Be met his worried eyes. “Linny is still in surgery.”
“It’ll be alright. I’ll wait with you. We can wait together,” Justin consoled her.
His fingers balled up as he stopped himself from pulling her into his arms.
