Chapter 462
Bella and Justin had met at Mount Jaglee National Forest Park for the first time thirteen
years ago.
It was the place where Justin saved Bella’s life.
“Oh? So you’re a student of Frank? Is Frank no longer the captain?” Bella’s eyes lit up at
the mention of an old friend.
“Yeah, Frank will be retiring next month. He’ll be performing his last rounds this month.
Once he does the final handover, he will be
returning to his hometown.”
Xavier sighed. “I saw your name in Frank’s list of contacts, so you must be important to
him. He expressed his wish to have a quiet retirement, but I hope you could make time to
visit him and give him good farewell. Frank has pancreatic cancer, so we don’t know if
we’ll ever get to see him again.”
“What? Frank has…” Bella sat up straight, her heart aching.

in its advanced stage. You understand. The pancreatic cancer spreads fast.” Xavier choked
with sobs.
“I see.”
Bella murmured with a heavy heart, “I’ll make time to visit Frank.”
“Please don’t let him know what I told you. He’s a proud man who doesn’t want to show
vulnerability. He doesn’t want to a pity party, so

“I understand. I’ve known Frank for thirteen years. I know him well.
Don’t worry about it.”
After the phone call, Bella sat vacantly on the swing. Moments later,
her eyes welled up.
“Ms. Bella, who is Frank? Uh… What’s wrong?”
Steven got down on one knee and pulled out a clean handkerchief to
wipe her tears.
“An old friend.”
It took a lot for Bella to move her lips as her heart bled. “Help me to get in touch with any
successful gastroenterologist in Savrow and Hatchbay, Steve. I want to do everything in
my power to help my
friend.”
“Alright. I’ll get straight to it,” Steven said in a serious tone. He
respected Bella’s privacy and dropped the questions when she was
not ready to talk.
Another call quickly came in.
This time, it was Bella’s adorable apprentice, Roza Walker.
“Roza…”
Bella had just pulled herself together when Roza’s loud voice threatened to burst her
eardrums. “Ah! You liar! You’re Bella

“Did you just find out? That’s slow.”
Bella sneered and grabbed the handkerchief from Steven to blow her
nose. “I should play more tricks on you since I’m a trickster,
according to you.”
After the utter humiliation from Justin, things did not get any better
for Shannon when she approached Gregory. In fact, she broke the
character of being a devoted, gentle, and loving wife.
Unable to let it go, Shannon took Bethany, who cried her eyes out, to
the Hoffmans’ residence in the middle of the night.
“You can’t get anything right.”
Annoyed by Bethany’s crying, Shannon poked her head with her red-
painted fingernail and drew blood. “Before, you took Rosalind’s side
because the scheming bitch was going to be your sister-in-law. You thought you could
handle her.”
