Chapter 534
“Mr. Salvador… Mr. Salvador?!”
lan was scared out of his wits. He hurriedly pressed the call bell by
the bed and grabbed a tissue to wipe away the traces of blood on
Justin’s lips. “Mr. Salvador! You can’t go on like this! Stop being
stubborn with the young madam! Since she’s sent the medicine over,
why don’t you take it?”
“No.”
Justin endured the sharp pain in his chest. He was stubborn and
gloomy. “This is the only way I have left to make her come to me and
for me to interact with her. Even if have to put my life on the line, I
want to see Bella. I’m going to fight for it this time!”
“What? That bastard scumbag is refusing to eat the medicine. Why?!”
Bella had been eating with her family in the dining hall when Steven called her out to tell her what
happened. She was so angry that she
felt a stuffiness in her chest and lost her appetite completely.
“He said he would only take the medicine if he saw you.”
Steven said angrily, “He’s too much! Not only is he not accepting your help, but he’s also treating his
life too lightly and using it to blackmail you. He’s thinking too highly of himself! You’ve done your best
on this matter. If you ask me, you should just leave him to his fate and stop caring about him!”

“Prepare the car. We’re going to Savrow.”
Bella instructed with reddened eyes, leaving Steven behind like a gust
of wind, to head back and change her clothes.
“M-Ms. Bella!”
Steven’s heart clenched with an indescribable sadness as he watched
her leave in a hurry.
Justin did not tell his family about getting injured and hospitalized.
After all, in his position, even the state of his health had to be kept
secret. There were too many people coveting his position, both within
and outside of Salvador Corporation. If anything happened to him, it
was very possible that it could become the reason someone would
use it to overthrow him.
All these years, he had lived like he was walking on thin ice becau
he was surrounded by enemies.
All of this was because he was not Gregory Salvador’s favorite son.
The only person who came to visit him today was Ryan Hoffman, as
usual.
Justin did not tell Ryan that he had coughed up blood earlier, not wanting Ryan to worry. But he was
also worried that Ryan would spend too much time running around helping him look for a cure.
“How pitiful and miserable you are.”
Ryan sprawled on the sofa with an expression that made him seem

like he was reveling in the situation, unbothered by the gravity of it. Seeing Justin look pale and
haggard, like a flower on the verge of wilting, he could not help but mock him. “Tell me, how miserable
do you feel now? Just a few months ago, you were enjoying such a splendid life.”
Justin looked up slightly. “What do you want to say?”
“At the time, you had a gentle wife at home and a passionate lover outside. You must’ve been elated!”
“…Ryan Hoffman.” Justin coughed, and his pale face turned a mottled color. He was so angry that he
nearly spat up blood again.

“still remember that whenever you met up with me back then, you’d complain about how annoyed you
were and how uncomfortable you felt when you went home and saw that overly attentive woman.
Damn, you don’t know how much I envied you back then! Eve waited upon like a king by a thousand
servants isn’t as com as compared to the care of a considerate, attentive woman wh
me with her whole heart and soul.”
Ryan could not help but sigh tersely, some anger in his tone.
He felt angry on Bella’s behalf, but also felt it was such a shame that his friend had lost such a good
woman.
“I wasn’t truly annoyed with Bella back then.”
The memories of how good Bella was to him felt like a dull knife ccarving into his heart. “I’m not made
out of stone. I wasn’t blind to hhow deeply she loved and cared for me in those three years. I was cccld
to her only to make her open her eyes to reality as soon as ppossible and make her divorce me. I had
no way of giving her a future

at the time. If she stayed by my side, she’d only be wasting her time
and life.”
“What about now? You keep pestering Bella. What sort of shortcut are you taking this time?” Ryan tilted
his head as he leisurely fished
out a cigarette and put it between his lips.
