The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2235

Deception was certainly despicable, but was it not another way to protect her?

Otherwise, with Bella's fiery, impulsive nature, she would cause a disaster far beyond her ability to handle.

"There's one thing I am certain of. The pills Justin took aren't fatal, and they won't cause any harm to his body." Christopher took a deep breath and smiled bitterly. "Otherwise, the Boss wouldn't have suggested giving the pills to you."

"To me?!" Bella was stunned, her face drained of color.

"The Boss wouldn't hurt you, so the pills he gave wouldn't be fatal. But he said taking it would be painful, so..."

Christopher's eyes lowered slightly, though his handcuffed hands trembled as if he were trying hard to reel in some strong emotion.

He did not need to say any more words. Bella understood everything.

"Your boss told you to give me the pills. Even if he didn't tell you exactly what it was, he should at least inform you of the effects, right?"

"He said it would make you belong to me forever. Christopher's voice was hoarse and broken.

"Ha... I see." Bella knew she would not get any more valuable information and did not want to face him any longer. She coldly stood up. 'T'm leaving, Christopher. I can't bring myself to say something insincere like take care. You know I hate you. But while you're in there, I still hope you live long enough to face judgment."

As she turned to leave, Christopher suddenly stood up, his eyes brimming with tears.

"Bella! I'm sorry!"

Bella stiffened but did not turn around.

"I tried everything to have you because being with you was the only time I felt that the old me hadn't died, that my heart was still beating."

Christopher pressed his palm against the glass as tears of endless pain and regret streamed down his face." You were the most beautiful butterfly I saw after I fell into the abyss."

Yet, unfortunately, once he began to fall, there was no stopping.

The man was filled with endless lament and sorrow after he had come to his senses.

Bella's slender shoulders trembled slightly, but she remained silent, disappearing from his sight without looking back

Christopher's straight back slowly collapsed, as if his soul had been drained. He seemed to have aged instantly, crying and laughing at the same time.

"Bella, I know you wouldn't choose me even in the next life. So I won't hope for reincarnation or another chance..."

Outside the prison, the cold wind cut deep into Bella's aching lungs.

"Christopher is really stubborn and hopeless!" Steven clenched his fists in frustration.

"He truly doesn't know what the pill is." Bella raised her head, gazing at the clear sky, yet still feeling the tightness in her chest. A glimmer of tears shone at the corners of her eyes. "This time, I believe him."

"But he still refuses to reveal his boss's identity. He's holding something back. He's still scheming!"

Bella seemed to understand what was in his heart, but she did not want to acknowledge it. She merely shook her head.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

"At least we know the pill won't harm Justin's body, and that's enough. Now, we can only wait for Arnold to treat Justin so that he'll wake up."

Before she could finish speaking, her phone rang.

Seeing that the caller was Matt, Nigel's secretary, she quickly answered.

"Uncle Matt!"

Matt's voice was filled with worry. "Ms. Bella, are you in Savrow now?"

"Yes. Is something wrong with Grandpa Nigel?!"

"Old Master Nigel learned about Mr. Justin's injury and coma, and the shock was too much for him. He's been hospitalized. Thankfully, he's out of the danger zone and has been moved to a general ward."

Bella felt a sharp stab in her heart. Clutching her chest, she nearly collapsed, but fortunately, Steven caught her in time

"Old Master Nigel was asking for you just now. He wants to see you. If it's convenient, could you come to the hospital?"
