Bella squinted her bleary, dim eyes and silently stared at Asher for a moment. She shifted her body slightly, then closed her eyes again.

"Either you forget Justin, or you get up and awaken his feelings for you, making him fall in love with you again." Asher's eyes were intense, his dark pupils flickering with two flames. "What is the point of wasting your life like this?"

"You're so noisy..." Bella buried her small face deep into the pillow. Her black hair spread across the white bedsheet, making her seem even more fragile and pitiable. "Go away... I want to sleep!"

The eldest brother was like a father; Asher saw this and felt a mix of anger, pain, and helplessness.

No matter how others tried to persuade her, it would be in vain. The only one who could unlock her heart was Justin.

"Ms. Bella, if you are hungry, you can ask the hotel chef to prepare something for you. Why are you just eating instant noodles?" Steven was deeply worried. "Eating too much instant noodles is bad for your health. What do you want to eat? I will make it for you."

"Instant noodles are tasty... I love them." Bella's voice was muffled but not entirely despondent. She still responded to questions.

Ralph understood that their little sister was a mischievous one. The normal approach would not work, so he needed an unconventional strategy.

He walked to the bed, leaned in close to her ear, and whispered like a devil, "I found out who has been in contact with Christopher these past few days."

A few seconds later, Bella sat up abruptly, her almond-shaped eyes wide open. "Who?!"

"Oh, my... You reek!" Ralph pinched his nose in exaggerated disgust. "Tomorrow morning, the cleaning lady will come in and probably call the police, thinking it's a crime scene."

Steven found Ralph's description too exaggerated, frowning and chuckling at the same time.

"Go take a shower, then eat something proper. If you do as I say, I'll tell you what I found out."
