The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2316

"Grandpa." Justin's breathing was heavy, his dark eyes filled with hidden worry. However, due to the toxins affecting the amygdala in his brain, his intense emotions felt trapped, beating wildly within him but unable to be released. However, his handsome face appeared indifferent, as if he had no emotions at all.

Nigel exchanged a look of understanding with Bella. The elderly man quickly wiped away his tears, replacing them with a kind smile.

"Justin, you're here.... Fortunately, with Bella helping to take care of me, I'm fine. You can rest easy."

Bella remembered Nigel's recent words, her long lashes fluttering as she drifted into a daze. She remained that way until a chilling, masculine presence brushed past her side. Startled, she looked up, meeting his intense gaze.

Justin's thin lips were pressed together, and he lowered his eyes to look at her.

Bella's heart seemed to skip a beat. Her pale face tinged with pink as she quickly and awkwardly averted her gaze.

She thought to herself, 'Ugh, I'm so pathetic!'

Bella still loved him endlessly, whether his gaze shone like the stars or darkened like an abyss. She would inevitably fall into it, time and again.

"Why are you just standing there? Aren't you going to properly thank Bella?" Nigel's voice held a reprimanding tone. "If it weren't for Bella, you would have lost your grandfather!"

Justin opened his mouth to speak, but Bella briskly rose to her feet without glancing at Justin. She only gave Nigel a gentle smile.

"Grandpa Nigel, I'm relieved now that you're well. I have work to attend to, so I'll head back now and visit you another day."

"Bella, wait!" Nigel tried to call her back, but she had already hurried out of the room.
