-“Future? There is no ‘future’ anymore…” Bella broke down in tears, her tears soaking his clothes. “Justin… I’m so exhausted… Sometimes, I even feel like it would be better if you just forgot about me.”

She continued, “It would be better than this… Every time I look at you, I’m filled with hope, only to have it crushed into despair time and time again…”

Justin’s eyes turned red as he listened to her calm yet heartbreaking voice. Inside, a tidal wave of emotion surged, crashing into his throat and leaving him speechless.

Fortunately, Justin found Bella just in time and gave her emergency first aid.

After being rushed to the hospital, Bella fell into a coma but narrowly escaped the life threatening situation.

She was placed in the ICU for further observation. Apart from treating her frostbite wounds, doctors had to check if her internal organs and brain had sustained any damage.

The gravity of the situation left no room for secrecy. Steven immediately informed Wyatt, as well as Axel and Ralph in Savrow. Even Asher, who had been abroad searching for traces of Arnold and had been silent for so long, was informed.
