Chapter 2243
"No. Not yet."
Grant took a sip of tea. His gaze was dark and deep. It was like a hidden current in a deep abyss. "I think... Justin should be waking up soon. He has Ms. Thompson by his side, along with capable friends. This disaster may not be as unavoidable as I initially thought."
Clarice leaned in, lowering her voice. "So, you're suggesting that we..."
"I've heard that Ms. Thompson has a rather skilled brother-in-law, a specialist in neurology?"
Clarice blinked in surprise. "Are you referring to Arnold, the youngest son of the Larson family?"
Grant lowered his gaze and continued sipping his tea, his voice cold and detached. "That man cannot remain in Ms. Thompson's team, nor should he stay by my brother's side."
Grant's words piqued Jace's interest immediately. "Do you need me to take action against him?"
"We don't always have to kill someone to remove them."
Grant toyed with the teacup with his fingertips. A faint smile played on his lips. "Breaking his spirit will be just as effective."
After Gregory brought Justin back to Savrow, he secretly sent him to a top-tier private hospital for treatment.
Gregory strictly ordered that no one except his immediate family could visit Justin and especially emphasized barring the Thompsons from seeing him.
Every day, Bella would wait outside the hospital all day.
After heavy rain, the weather grew colder.
Bella stared up at the hospital, watching the windows glow softly in the night. She had no idea behind which one Justin lay peacefully asleep.
She blew warm air into her hands, which suffered from frostbite. Her cheeks and the tips of her ears tinged red from the cold.
"Ms. Bella, why don't you wait in the car? You've been standing out here for hours!" Steven handed her a steaming cup of coffee, his eyes filled with
concern.
"Justin used to do the same thing. He used to wait outside my house for me, time and time again."
Bella's eyes shimmered with unshed tears, her smile bittersweet. "This time, it's my turn to wait for him."
Steven lowered his head, unsure how to comfort her. Words felt hollow, completely inadequate.
He knew how badly she wanted to help Justin.
However, since she could not see
him,
she could do was wait. Įt

filled with silent prayers.
It felt like the hardships Justin faced while pursuing her were now repeating in her life.
Was she really destined to endure the same pain?
That seemed far too cruel for her.
Just then, Steven's phone rang. He quickly answered.
After a split second, his expression shifted in shock. He stared at Bella with wide eyes.

suddenly in his cell from card
arrest. By the time the guards found him, his body had already gone stiff."
“What did you just say?!" Bella's pupils constricted in disbelief.
Cardiac arrest?
On Rose Island, he coughed up blood every day and still clung todife. How could he suddenly die within just days of returning to Savrow? It did not make sense!
Before she could process the information, another call came in. It was Nigel.
"Grandpa Nigel!" Bella answered the call immediately. A cloud of anxious breath escaped her lips.
"Anna! Justin has woken up!"
