Chapter 2227
Christopher was arrested by the Sentanian police force, and they discovered a large amount of drugs and firearms during the search on the island.
Relevant authorities confirmed that the beautiful and vibrant rose fields were once used for growing poppies.
The news of Christopher's arrest quickly spread throughout Sentania and made headlines domestically, becoming a trending topic.
The people of Sentania flooded social media with comments, all unanimously filled with excitement and passion, as if they were celebrating a national holiday.
Christopher's criminal power had once been a tightly woven net that cast a shadow over the once-clear skies of Sentania.
Christopher had disguised himself as a charitable businessman, but countless people had suffered oppression, harm, and defamation at his hands.
People were angry but too afraid to speak out.
Now, the malignant tumor had finally been removed and dealt with, fulfilling the people's hopes. The dark clouds over their sky had cleared, and light had returned.
Having long changed his citizenship to that of Sentania, Christopher was initially supposed to be judged by their courts for all his crimes.
However, considering his special status, the President granted a special order to have him extradited to his homeland, where he would face justice and accept his punishment.
The battle against the demon had been bloody and dangerous, with near-death experiences along the way.
But in the end, Christopher was utterly defeated. Evil did not triumph over righteousness.
However, the Thompson family was engulfed in a heavy cloud of gloom. Not a single person showed any sign of joy on their faces.
Despite searching across the island, there was no trace of Bella. Meanwhile, Justin, gravely injured, had been in a coma in the ICU for 48 hours.
The men continued searching relentlessly for Bella, while Asher, Edward, Camilla, and Yvonne remained by Justin's ward without leaving his side.
Even Ryan, in a distant country, rushed to stand guard over Justin. Fearing that Carrie would be frightened upon hearing that her brother was in a coma, Ryan secretly kept the news from her.
He first accompanied Carrie back to Savrow, ensuring everything was settled with Dean's help before making his way to Sentania without any distractions.

Ryan was anxious and angry, his sturdy shoulders trembling as his eyes were red with fury. " Do you guys not think of me as a brother?! In such a crucial moment, you all kept me in the dark! I'm married, not dead! Don't you think that's a bit unfair?!"
Everyone was speechless. If it had been good news, his complaint might have made sense.
But this situation was life-threatening, and they had not told him because they were afraid he would be worried and hurt and that Carrie might not be able to handle it.
Yet, Ryan thought it was unfair, as if he had missed out on some huge opportunity. His logic was certainly unique.
"Ryan, I'm sorry." Asher stepped forward, carrying heavy eyebags and an exhausted expression. "But the situation developed so suddenly, and we were overwhelmed. Now, Justin is in a coma, and Bella is missing. We..."
"Asher, you don't need to say more. I understand." Ryan's eyes reddened, his voice catching in his throat, and his eyes brimmed with tears. "I just... I just feel terrible. When you needed help the most, I couldn't be there. I couldn't fight alongside you."
"We understand." Asher took a deep breath and embraced his dependable brother.
At this moment, the team of specialists examining Justin emerged from the ICU. Everyone immediately surrounded them, and Asher quickly asked, "How is he?"
"The situation is a bit strange," One professor said thoughtfully.
"Strange?!" The crowd exclaimed in shock.
"We conducted a full body examination of Mr. Salvador. His internal organs show signs of rejection caused by the use of stimulants, but there are no indications of poisoning. We also scanned his brain and found the issue lies there."
Ryan snapped impatiently. "Can you just get to the point and stop dragging it out?"
"We suspect that Mr. Salvador's brain has suffered a massive shock, but we cannot determine the cause of his coma..."
Everyone was disappointed, and Ryan punched the wall in frustration.
"We are not brain specialists. We will need to find a professor skilled in neurology to treat Mr. Salvador. Mr. President, First Lady, we're sorry."
The specialists bowed deeply in apology.
Edward held his wife's trembling waist, his voice low. "It's alright. At least we know where the problem lies. That's something to start with."
"Arnold!" As soon as Asher heard that the problem lay in the brain, he immediately thought of his partner, hope rekindled in his eyes. "I'll get Arnold to come to Sentania to treat Justin. He's an expert in this field!"
At that moment, his phone rang. It was Drew calling.
Not wanting to worry everyone, Asher put the call on speaker.
"Drew, any news?"
"Asher, we've found her!"
On the other end of the line, Drew's voice was hoarse and trembling with emotion, almost sobbing. "Bella... We've found her!"
