“Why were you there tonight?” Be asked softly, teardrops hanging


    off hershes.


    “It was Linny. She ran into me at Tideview Manor this afternoon and


    told me that she would be meeting you there.”


    Justin gave her the full ount. “I was worried, so I went to make


    sure everything was okay.”


    Thankfully, he trusted his gut.


    The shocking secret Linny whispered in Be’s ear before passing out


    came to mind, and Be shook nervously.


    She wondered if she should let Justin know.


    Be clutched the pocket of her top, where Linny’s busted phone was.


    Furrowing his brows, Justin took off his jacket and draped it over her


    shoulder before holding her.


    Be did not put up a fight. Her eyes were vacant.


    Her focus was entirely on Linny and Steven. She had no energy to


    care about anything else.


    “Was the man caught?” Be asked.


    “The manhunt is happening as we speak. My men and the police have blocked all the major train


    routes, airports, and highways in Savrow. He can run, but he can’t hide.”


    Justin breathedboriously as anger filled his eyes. “The illegal use of firearms, intentional harm, and


    premeditated murder should get him. the death penalty.”


    Be’s eyes turned bloodshot when the image of Linny being shot. yed in her mind.


    She gasped sharply, covered her ears, and closed her eyes.


    Recognizing the signs of Be’s stress response, Justin felt for her and reached out to embrace her


    gently.


    “Don’t be scared. It’s okay…” He stroked her back, his jawline tense.


    Justin was just an ordinary man in front of the love of his life. He, too,


    had moments of agony and tears.


    The Thompson brothers were consumed by a mix of emotions.


    Frowning, Den wanted to approach the couple, but Asher and Drew


    yanked him back.


    “I know you don’t like Justin, Den. I’m not fond of him either.”


    Drew sighed. “But thank God he was there tonight. Otherwise, we


    might never see Be again.”


    Den’s eyes widened in shock.


    “They had been married for three years. Even if Justin wants to get


    with Be now, it’s not like they hadn’t been together before.” Drew


    slipped his hands into his pockets and smacked his lips.


    Ralph, Asher, and Den had no words.


    Asher could not believe that Drew would stand up for Justin.


    Back then, the news of Be’s secret wedding to Justin infuriated


    Drew the most. He even threatened to fly a ne into Salvador


    Corporation and blow it up.


    Drew’s temper did not cloud his judgment this time.


    The door to the ICU opened.


    Be sprinted toward the doctor.Content ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    Justin stuck close to her, his fervent gaze never leaving her.


    “How is she, Doctor? How is she now?” Be’s strained, red-rimmed


    eyes glistened with hope.


    The doctor’s scrubs and gloves were covered in Linny’s blood.
