    Arnold had been trying his best to hold back his emotions, but the moment he heard Asher''s voice, he burst into tears. "I can''t take it anymore... I feel so bad for Be!"


    "Sweetheart, don''t cry." Asher quicklyforted him, his voice raspy with emotion. "I know you care about Be. We all do. But don''t worry, she had an acute stomach bleed, and now she''s awake. The doctor said it was caused by excessive grief, overdrinking, and irregr eating. Besides, Be already had stomach problems from her days in the field, treating patients under extreme conditions, barely able to eat properly."Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.


    Arnold looked shocked. "Be was on the battlefield?!"


    “During the war in Kridor, she served as a volunteer doctor, helping countless civilians and soldiers from the peacekeeping forces." Asher''s tone softened with a mix of pride and sorrow as he mentioned it.


    "My God... Everyone in your family has a big heart! Kridor was not only at war but was running rampant with terrorists looting and killing. Be was just a girl, and she went into such dangerous conditions. How could you let her go?!"


    Asher was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly. "We didn''t want her to go, but she was determined to follow Justin. Wherever he went, she would go. None of us could stop her."


    Arnold''s mind buzzed, and he was taken aback. "Be went through all that for Justin?!"


    "Justin used to be a soldier with the peacekeeping forces and was deployed to Kridor for a crucial mission," Asher said, his voice tight. "Be only applied to go to Kridor because she wanted to see him. She almost didn''t make it back..."


    “Justin? He doesn''t deserve Be''s love!" Arnold''s eyes were bloodshot. He mmed his fist on the balcony railing. "After he woke up, he turned into aplete scumbag! He''s been getting cozy with that female doctor who works with Grant, and I caught them myself. I pped that bastard and told him he was worthless. He even had the nerve to say he already broke up with Be!"


    Tears welled up again as he sobbed. "Asher, honestly... Justin might as well have stayed dead!"


    "Arnold..."


    "Be watches him from afar, but he pushes her away and gets close to another woman instead... Asher, who could handle that kind of fall? I regret saving him! I should have just drugged him and left him in a. It would''ve been better than this!"


    "Arnold, don''t forget, Justin became like this for Be," Asher said, his breathing heavy. "Fate is beyond our control. If they''re meant to be, Justin will rediscover his love for her. If not, then this might be the best

    Arnold wiped his tears with a handkerchief. "Once I finish up, I''ll go visit Be at the hospital."


    "It''s okay. You can wait a couple of days. Be is still weak and needs her rest."

    "Asher, don''t forget, your birthday is the day after tomorrow." Arnold sniffled, ncing at the wedding ring on his finger, a smile spreading across his face. "You know me I''m not as clever as you at nning surprises. Just tell me what you want...."


    Asher let out a low chuckle. "Then, don''t work overtime the day after tomorrow."


    Arnold blinked. "That''s all?"


    The man''s voice grew huskier. "And then wash up and wait for me."


    "Damn it, I knew it! You old pervert!" Arnold yfully scolded, his cheeks flushed, but his heart was already with him.


    As the sun set, a red glow spread across the sky, and rice drove toward Tideview Manor.
