?


    Even without his help, Be would have been rescued by her family and the emergency team.


    This made the intentions of the one manipting Jace abundantly clear.


    But why had Jace let him go at the critical moment? Had he suddenly changed his ways, or was he truly Be''s fifth brother?


    A flood of thoughts overwhelmed Justin, leaving him no time for deep reflection before a knock echoed at the door.


    Ian hurried over to open it, only to freeze in shock. "Chairman Thompson?"


    Supported by Axel, Wyatt stood at the door. His gaze was heavy as he spoke. "Is Mr. Salvador inside? May I have a word with him?"


    Ian quickly stepped aside, respectfully inviting them into the room.


    When Justin saw Wyatt''s unexpected visit, he struggled to stand despite his exhaustion." Chairman Thompson..."


    "You''re injured. Don''t move around carelessly!" Wyatt immediately stepped forward, pressing down on Justin''s arm to stop him.


    Seeing the man who had endured so much to save his sister reduced to such a frail state, Axel felt a wave of pain, guilt, and sadness wash through him.


    "Chairman Thompson... I''m sorry." Justin''s pale lips parted slightly. His voice was low, tinged with bitterness.


    He did not know what to say, but he felt the need to apologize to Be''s father and to Be herself.


    "Justin, there''s no need to say anything. I don''t me you." Wyatt''s eyes were filled with sincerity as his voice wavered. "My daughter has always been headstrong and willful. She has made it this far safely because you''ve been there to protect and support her. For that, my family owes you. I should be the one apologizing to you."


    Justin felt his chest tighten, his heart suffocating with pain.


    "To be honest, I have long regarded you as one of my own. In my eyes, you are no different from Asher or Axel-you are like a son to me."


    Wyatt''s gaze softened, a glimmer of tears shining in his eyes.


    "Even though you and Be are no longer together, I won''t hold that against you. If you ever face difficulties at Salvador Corporation, don''t hesitate toe to me. I will help you without question. After all, you have extended your hand to me many times before. I owe you that much."


    Axel stood in a daze.


    On their way over, he had been filled with unease, afraid Wyatt might take out his frustrations on Justin because of their breakup and Be''s current state. But his father''s understanding and magnanimity left him speechless.


    It was no wonder so many people willingly followed Wyatt, keeping him at the top for decades.


    Justin''s throat burned, rendering him unable to speak. He thought of the bitter, despondent words Be had said to him, and his heart clenched.


    "Chairman Thompson, I..."All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    "I no longer insist that you stay with Be. Whatever choice you make, we will respect it." Wyatt''s voice grew hoarse as his emotions surged. "In the past, you loved Be and willingly sacrificed for her. That was only natural. But now... If the love is gone, I will not let her continue to burden you or drag you down."


    ''No, that''s not true!'' Justin thought as his breathing grew heavy. His battered body struggled to rise. Just as he was about to speak, the door to the hospital room swung open abruptly.


    Entering their view was Grant, seated alone in his wheelchair.
