Chapter 515
“No… I don’t trust Justin. I need to inform Mr. Asher right away.”
Steven could barely hold his phone steady while dialing Asher’s
number.
The call was answered immediately. Before Steven had a chance to speak, Asher’s husky came on the
other end. “Did something happen.
to Bella, Steve?”
There must be some sort of special bond between the siblings
because Asher had a bad feeling all night.
Since Steven contacted him, Asher was sure Bella had gotten herself
into a situation.
“Mr. Asher!”
Steven teared up. “Ms. Bella… Ms. Bella is in trouble. Please send help to Mount Jaglee at the
National Forest Park.”
Asher was at the military headquarters in Dawnford, more than 350 km away from Savrow, when he
received Steven’s call for help.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNow that Asher was in Dawnford, he could not possibly pass up a chance to meet with his third brother,
Declan Brown, who had also
taken their mother’s last name, like Drew.
His mother gave birth to quadruplets and Bella, and Asher cared about all his siblings equally.
Chap 515
Declan was a young talent. He was a colonel at the age of 28 with outstanding achievements. Since he
held a high position, leading the army in Dawnford, he rarely got to meet with his family.
Hence, Asher would visit Declan whenever he got the chance.
“Declan, Bella is in trouble. I need to get back to Savrow right now.” Furrowing his brows, Asher could
not hide the worry on his face.
“What? Bella is in trouble?”
Declan, dressed in military uniform, jolted to his feet from the sofa, his nerves tensed.
He had always kept his cool and charisma as a colonel in the
presence of others. However, he was hysterical at the mention that his beloved sister was in trouble.
As his chest tightened, Asher’s voice turned hoarse. “Our little sister went to the National Forest Park
to volunteer at a search and rescue
party.”
Declan clenched his fists and sighed. He paced around in circles
nervously.
If the men working under Declan could see him now, their jaws would
drop.
“I told her many times to just donate the money. She’s not a professional first responder. She could put
herself in danger, but she’s stubborn. She has a mind of her own. She won’t listen to
reason.” Asher was worried sick about Bella.
“I mean… Why does Bella go there anyway? Does Mount Jaglee hold
some sort of secret or mystery there?”
Declan did not want to be the strict superior in front of Asher. In fact, he shared Wyatt’s humor.
Asher looked at him with intrigue and said indifferently, “Don’t you. remember what happened to Bella
when she was eleven?”
“I do. Of course, I do.”
Declan sighed dejectedly. “I don’t know what to say about her and the Salvador guy.”
“I’m starting to get to my head that Mom had us first to protect Bella.”

“Hang on, Ash.”
Declan stopped him and grabbed his beret on the arm of the sofa to put on. “I’m going with you.”
It took quite a bit of walking before Justin discovered a small, dark
cave. He carried Bella over.
Bella rested her back against the wall of the cave and folded her arms. Her pale lips quivered, and her
soiled face looked flushed.
Even though she looked weak and disheveled, the light in her eyes and her fluttering lashes gave
Justin butterflies in his stomach.
Feeling warm and cozy inside, the man swallowed hard and cupped
her cheeks.
He frowned when he found that her face was hot to the touch.
“Are you burning up?”
“I’m fine. It won’t kill me.”
Bella did not shy away from his touch because the cold sensation felt
great on her skin.
