NovelEnglishChapter 2103 Steven temporarily set aside thoughts of his beloved wife and refocused on work.
"Ever since we left for Botvia, Deputy Chief Hopkins hasn't returned home at all. He's been staying at his workplace, having his subordinates run errands for him. He's practically cut himself off from the world." Bella's almond- shaped eyes grew increasingly somber. "He hasn't visited his wife either?" "Not once," Steven replied, furrowing his brow in disbelief.

Deputy Chief Hopkins is highly perceptive. He must have realized that he's in a dangerous position. Any reckless move could cost him his life." Steven was taken aback. "Ms. Bella, you mean..."
"Christopher has probably already made plans to take him out," Bella said, gripping the pen tightly, her knuckles turning white. "It's also possible that he's already made an attempt, and Deputy Chief Hopkins narrowly escaped death. That's why he's now taking such extreme precautions and staying locked inside. There's also no place safer than the police department.” Bella continued, "No matter how ruthless Christopher is, he wouldn't dare send someone there to finish the job-that would be walking right into a trap." Steven's heart raced as he quickly responded, "Ms. Bella, Deputy Chief Hopkins must stay alive! He's our only lead to bring down Christopher! If Christopher intends to silence him, then this is a critical moment." "As long as Deputy Chief Hopkins hides, Christopher can't touch him, but we can't get to him either," Bella said, interlocking her fingers and resting them under her pointed
chin, her gaze deep. "That's why we need to get Deputy Chief Hopkins to step out of the police department.” Steven scratched his head in confusion. "But Ms. Bella, wouldn't that just give Christopher the opportunity he's waiting for?" "We're on the same playing field," Bella replied, her gaze warming, a faint smile spreading across her lips. "If he has a chance, so do I. | trust Justin-no matter how slim the opportunity, he'll seize it." Just as she finished speaking, Justin's call came through.
"Justin, how's it going? Have you arrived in Dawnford?" Bella's voice was soft and light, like a cheerful bird.
"I'm here now, heading to the meeting site," Justin replied, his tone urgent. "Uncle Matt just called me. He said that ever since Grandpa returned from Botvia, he hasn't been feeling well. He hasn't eaten anything all day. Could you take him to the hospital?" "Justin, what kind of tone is that?" Bella exclaimed, her eyes widening in mock anger. "Is he not my grandpa too? Taking care of him is my duty. Why are you being so formal?" "Bella, you've been working hard for days, and you still have to oversee things at KS Group. I'm just worried you're stretching yourself thin," Justin said with a helpless smile, having no argument against his wife's reprimand.
"I'm not tired. As long as it's for family, | have endless energy!" Bella sighed softly, her tone turning gentle. "All right, I'll take Grandpa Nigel to the hospital right away. You

In the VIP treatment unit, Nigel lay pale against the headboard, an IV drip in his arm. Bella sat by the bed, gently helping him drink some water.
"Bella... I'm sorry to trouble you to come all the way back from Hatchbay just to take me to the hospital," Nigel said, his eyes moist with emotion.
"Grandpa Nigel, this isn't any trouble at all. | was planning to visit you anyway," Bella reassured him, her eyes glowing with a clear, soft light. "I spoke with the doctor. You just haven't been resting well these past few days, and you haven't adjusted to the time difference. You aren't eating properly, so your stomach's a bit upset. It's nothing serious.
Don't worry."
