The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2229

"Bella, don't panic. Listen to me!" Asher's heart tightened, hesitation churning inside him. Knowing there was no way to hide the truth, he decided to downplay the severity. "Justin was injured when he fought Christopher on the island and hasn't woken up yet. But don't worry. Apart from a gunshot to his left shoulder, he doesn't have any other serious injuries, and his organs weren't damaged."

"Left shoulder... The left shoulder again?!" Bella's eyes widened, brimming with tears. Her heart was aching so much that she was on the verge of crying.

"Back on South Island, Justin also suffered a severe injury to his left shoulder to save me. Now, he's been shot again. His left arm is going to be crippled!"

As she spoke, large, crystal-clear tears rolled down her cheeks. It was as if the bullet had torn through her own heart, bleeding and raw.

"Bella, don't worry! Edward and I hired the best surgeons from Sentania to remove the bullet and perform surgery on Justin. His left arm has been saved. Although he might have some lingering pain, it won't affect his daily life." Camilla quickly explained, trying to calm her down.

"If... if it's just an external wound... Why hasn't Justin woken up?" Bella asked anxiously.

The air grew heavy and suffocating.

An invisible hand seemed to squeeze Bella's throat, and a strong sense of unease surged through her body.
