Chapter 519
“Bella…”
Heartbroken, Declan teared up and tried to take Bella from Justin.
Asher seemed like the kindest soul out of the four boys in the family,
but that was not true.
Declan always carried a stoic face due to his career in the military, but out of all of Wyatt’s children, he
was the gentlest and most
sensible child.
He could not make it back for Bella’s birthday this year because he was on military duty. In the middle
of the night, he hid under the
covers and secretly wiped away tears. He was a sensitive and
vulnerable man.
“I’ll hold her.” Justin shifted his gaze to Bella and refused to turn her
over.
“You don’t deserve to!”
Recalling the divorce, Declan saw red and took out his anger on Justin. “You know full well that you

“I never expect you to.”
Justin paused before uttering in-a hoarse voice, “Bella is important to

“You can’t make up for anything!”
Declan cut him off sternly. “It’s too late for regrets now. You have
ruined my once cheerful and worry-free sister. There is no way you
can make amends.”
Justin froze.
“Uh… Home… I want to go home…”
Bella shuddered in the man’s embrace and cried out in her sleep..
“I’ll take you home, Bella.”
Not wanting to waste another breath on Justin, Declan tried to snatch
Bella from him.
Just when Declan was about to hold his sister, Bella clutched Justin’s
black vest and refused to let go.
“Don’t go… Don’t go…” she mumbled
“I won’t go. You’re still burning. How can I possibly ditch you?”
Justin had always been a cold-hearted man, but his heart opened up
to Bella.
He turned to Declan and said pleadingly, “Let me take her to the
hospital. I’ll leave once we arrive at the hospital.”
“Dream on!” Declan yelled angrily.
“Dec.”
Asher stopped Declan and stepped forward with a sour look. “Let’s
just go with Mr. Salvador’s suggestion. He can come with us to the
hospital.”
“Ash!”
“Either way, I need to thank you for saving Bella, Mr. Salvador. Join us

Justin responded dejectedly, “Thank you.”
Bella was back in his arms.
He tended to her with extra care, as if he had found something he had
lost.

into their helicopter.
The helicopter took flight into the night sky.
Justin held Bella close to him, not once letting up.
Declan caressed his sister’s forehead as his breathing became
labored. Tears welled up in his eyes.
“Bella, open your eyes and look at me. I’m here. I’m back.”
“Bella is having a fever, Declan. Don’t worry too much about it.” Asher
consoled Declan, but he was feeling anxious too.
“It was rough for Bella today. She nearly fell off the cliff.” Justin
stared long and hard at Bella.
The fear still had a grip on him.
Shocked, Asher and Declan shuddered.
“I lent her a helping hand, but she saved herself.”
