The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

After receiving his IV treatment, Nigel's condition stabilized. He slept peacefully at the hospital for the rest of the afternoon. In the evening, Bella escorted him home.

As Bella and Steven were leaving the villa, they ran into Justin, looking disheveled.

"Bella!" Justin surged forward, pulling her into his arms. "You've worked so hard. I tried to hurry, but I still couldn't help with anything."

"Don't say that. Taking care of Grandpa Nigel is also my responsibility." Bella smiled gently. She reached up to his shoulder to massage it lightly.

"I'll go check on Grandpa." Justin took a step forward, but Bella stopped him. "Grandpa Nigel just fell asleep, so let's not disturb him. He's getting old, and the wedding preparations have exhausted him. Let him rest."

"That's true." Justin sighed, feeling guilty.

"Justin." Bella paused, her expression turned serious. "Let's get in the car. I need to talk to you."

The couple got into her car, with Steven sitting in the driver's seat.

"Today, while I was with Grandpa Nigel at the hospital, I ran into Christopher. He's been admitted there."

Justin's eyes widened as he grabbed her hand tightly, his palm hot and clammy. He remained silent, but his concern was palpable.

"Don't worry, I was just being polite and checked in on him. Nothing happened. As they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained."
