Bella murmured Arnold's name, crying and begging him not to leave.

'How could there be such a foolish girl?' Jace thought.

Bella leaned against the man's chest, groaning in agony, her tears soaking through his shirt.

The faint warmth of her tears helped chase away the deep, bone-piercing chill in his heart. "Bella..." Jace murmured, his lips parting as he softly called out her name.

However, Bella had already lost consciousness, so she could not hear him.

Jace held the injured girl close and carefully carried her toward his car.

"Bella..." Jace silently said her name again. For some reason, a sudden, sharp pain shot through his head, and an intense, uncontrollable emotion welled up within him, making his chest tighten. Jace gritted his teeth, looking at the severely wounded Bella in his arms, her head bleeding profusely.

His heart also felt as though it was being torn apart and bleeding uncontrollably.

Similar to what happened in Sentania, Jace intercepted Bella and swiftly took her to the nearest hospital for emergency treatment.

The key difference this time was that he did not leave. Instead, he stayed hidden at the hospital.
