NovelEnglishIt was the wee hours of the night. Bella was sound asleep, cuddling Justin. But the man was still awake, reviewing a stack of financial reports and project proposals on the bedside table.
Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Wilma's urgent voice cthrough. "Young Master, Young Madam, are you asleep?" Afraid of waking Bella, Justin carefully got out of bed and went to open the door. "Wilma, it's so late. Why are you not asleep yet?" "Young Master, the fourth Thompson brother is here!" "You mean Drew?" Justin was taken aback.
"Yeah! He is in the living room, and he looks terrible. You should go see him quickly!" At this moment, Bella rubbed her sleepy eyes and shuffled to his side while wearing fuzzy slippers. “Justin... I heard you guys saying that Drew is here?" "Sorry for waking you up." Justin's eyes softened as he wrapped his arm around her waist, holding her gently.

Justin, let's go see him quickly." When Justin and Bella saw Drew, whose face was covered in blood and his shirt torn and tattered, their expressions changed. Especially Bella, who had never seen her brother in such a sorry state. Her fourth brother was always as strong as a deity to her. Naturally, when Drew was on missions, he would not let his most beloved sister see those near-death moments.
"Drew! What happened? Are you hurt?!" Bella quickly ran forward, frantically examining his shoulder, the color draining from her face.
"Bella, I'm fine." Drew looked as if the soul was sucked from his body. His gaze was empty, and his voice was low.
Bella was burning with anxiety. "How can you say that you're fine? What's up with your face? What happened to your clothes?!" After a while, Drew raised his handsface. Between his heavy breaths, it was as if sintense emotions were about to burst from his chest.
"Bella, I've never asked you for anything all these years, but this time... I beg you..." Looking at him, Justin's eyes widened in shock.
He had seen Drew in all kinds of emotions-playful, joyous, angry, violent... Except for this emotion.
Bella's voice was hoarse from anxiety, and she shook his shoulders. "Drew, why are you acting polite with me? Just tellwhat you need!" "Do you have any way to save her?" "Save who?!" Drew's throat choked up. "Yvonne." Justin and Bella were stunned. This was the first tthey heard Drew speak of another woman's name.
Drew lowered his eyes and pulled a packet of blue pills from his inner pocket, putting it in Bella's palm.

Bella and Justin held their breaths the entire time, looking restless.
Merely thinking about that type of sheer thrill made their scalps tingle and hearts race.
Chapter 2014 1 "It looks like drug trafficking, but actually, they're using those drug addicts for human experiments. His aim from the start was not to make money!" Chapter 2014 2 Thinking of the inhumane and unforgivable deeds, Bella seethed with anger. "With enough experimental subjects and detailed data, it might really speed up the development of the medicine significantly. Ten years could be shortened to two or three years! Chapter 2014 3 With the clues Yvonne provided, Bella immediately connected all the people and events, showcasing her outstanding logic.
"I wanted to bring Yvonne with me, but she refused. She wanted to stay by Christopher's side as a spy." Yvonne's resolute gaze appeared in Drew's mind, piercing through his heart and then twisting it. "Bella, nothing can happen to her!" Bella grabbed his cold hands. "Drew, you... Yvonne..." Drew looked at his sister's beautiful face, and his nose tingled. Once, she was so similar to Bella, indistinguishable from afar. Now, Yvonne was no longer a replica of Bella. She was not anyone's substitute.
Yvonne was Yvonne, who only belonged to him...
Emotions surged in his heart, and Drew said each word heavily with determination, “Bella, I love her... I'm in love with Yvonne."
