Chapter 918
Bella wanted to avenge Steven, Linhy, and all of Shannon’s victims.
It was the wee hours of the morning, yet Justin stood wide awake at
the end of the corridor and looked outside the window.
He called Ryan to meet right away.
Ryan put Carrie to sleep and assigned Yasmin to guard duty before driving to Justin.
“Relax, Justin. I’ve talked to my connections in the underworld.”
Ryan clasped a cigarette between his lips. Upon recalling that he was at a hospital, he put the cigarette away in annoyance. “The bastard won’t show his face since the police are on his tail, but I’ve put him on a wanted list in the underworld. We’ll get him. He has nowhere to run. My people are combing Savrow, checking every nook and cranny three times a day. The bastard is dead meat.”
“Thanks, Ryan.”
Justin put his hand on Ryan’s shoulder and asked in a raspy voice,”
Did you tell Carrie about Linny?”
“Fuck! I wouldn’t dare. I can’t bring myself to tell her.”
With his hand over his forehead, Ryan took deep breaths. “I only met the girl once, but I know that she is close with Carrie. She’s a kind woman. If Carrie finds out what happened to her, I fear she might
suffer a breakdown.”

“Yeah. We can’t let Carrie know.”
Justin’s chest tightened. “Bella is losing it. The weight of reality can
even crush a strong person like her. You can only imagine what it can
do to Carrie.”
Ryan’s eyes widened in shock.
He had learned about the incident on his way to the hospital. Even if
Justin said nothing to him, Ryan had the resources and connections
to find out.
“What do you plan to do now, Justin?”
“I’m putting Linny’s affairs in order. lan looked into her, and she came
from a rural area. Her parents have passed away. Only her
grandmother is still around.”
“Sigh. As if things can’t be any worse.” Ryan was perturbed.
“I’ll send lan to make sure Linny’s grandmother is well taken care of If she wants to, I can bring her to Sayrow and put her in the best retirement home, so she can enjoy her final years.” Like Bella, Justin
witnessed Linny’s death.
While Bella experienced heartache, Linny’s passing weighed heavily
on Justin.
“If Linny’s grandmother is happy with the arrangement, the burden will ease a little on Bella’s conscience.”
Carrie’s company likely softened Ryan’s harsh demeanor because he was more understanding now. “Justin, keep an extra eye on Bella and Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
help her get through this. She’s vulnerable. She needs someone by her side, or she’ll lose herself in the negative thoughts.”
“I know. I understand.”
Justin looked at Ryan amusedly. “Hey, I realized you’ve changed since you got together with Carrie.”
“Changed? How so?”
“You’re more human now.”
“Fuck! Don’t you have anything nice to say? Human? Was I an animal
before?” Ryan’s true nature came out. He raised a brow.
“No, not an animal. I’d say more like a dick.” Justin curled his lips.
“Get lost!”
