Despite Drew's composure, Yvonne could tell he was on the brink of falling apart. If she said one more word, even just a gentle reassurance, it would cause the emotions he was barely holding back to come crashing down all at once.

"Ash... Justin..." As soon as Drew saw his family, the usually defiant and strong man started trembling uncontrollably. Unable to hold back his emotions any longer, he finally broke down in tears. "Drew, don't cry." Asher stepped forward to embrace his younger brother, his large hand gently patting Drew's back. "Crying won't solve anything. The most important thing right now is to rescue Bella." "It's all my fault... It's all my damn fault!" Drew slapped himself hard. "I neglected Bella... I lost our little sister! I deserve to die!"

"Drew, it's not your fault," Justin said as he walked over with heavy steps. His eyes were red, and his usually bright eyes were now sunken from exhaustion. "If anyone is to blame, it's me. I'm Bella's husband. I promised everyone that I would protect her... But I messed everything up. I'm sorry."

He messed everything up.

He had said the same thing when he learned that Bella had lost their child. But now, the weight of those words was a thousand times heavier, weighing on him heavily.

"Bella...?!" Camilla cried out when she saw Yvonne, who looked almost identical to her sister. She ran forward and hugged Yvonne tightly.

"Camilla, this isn't Bella. She's Drew's girlfriend," Edward said, staring at Yvonne's face with astonishment, momentarily dazed. He still reached out to embrace Camilla's shoulders, gently comforting her. "We're all here. You're too tired. Let's go upstairs and rest, okay?"
