The bullet fired from the gun missed Drew.
âOw⦠It hurtsâ¦â
Bella, who appeared out of nowhere, hugged Drew tightly. The metallic ball bullet hit her left shoulder!
Although it was not a real gun, it still had quite a strong impact.
Bella was in so much pain that her smooth forehead was covered in cold sweat, and she was trembling
all over.
Even so, she still hugged Drew tightly and would not let go.
Justin was so shocked that his pupils trembled. He felt as if he had stepped off a tall building, and his
heart plummeted to the ground.
Every part of his body was in pain, but all the pain combined was not as hurtful as seeing Anna take a
bullet for another man.
The first thing Anna did when she saw him being attacked was not to come to his aid but to protect the
murderer who was trying to kill him.
Justin thought, âAnna, how could you do this to me? There should be a limit to how much you hate me.
How could you be an accomplice for murder?â
âBaby sis!â
Drewâs eyes widened. He grabbed Bellaâs trembling shoulders. But when he opened his palms, he saw
that they were stained with blood.
He gasped and became infuriated. His heart ached as if he were shot.
âRyan Hoffman! Iâm going to kill you!â
Ryan was also stunned. He dropped the fake gun on the ground and stood there in a daze.
He did not know how Anna appeared so fast. He had no time to react. Otherwise, he would not have
fired this shot.
âDrew Brown!â
Bella leaned weakly into Drewâs embrace and gritted her teeth. âIf you still want me to recognize you as
my brother, youâd better get out of here right now! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!â
âButâ¦â
Bella glared at Drew and shoved him away without saying another word.
Drew felt a stab in his heart. He knew that his little sister was really angry with him this time. If he did
not leave, he would really lose her.
Thus, he had no choice but to leave quickly. Then he would contact Asher to send their baby sister to
seek medical treatment.
Bella breathed a sigh of relief. She ignored her own wound and ran over to check on Justinâs injuries.
âMr. Hoffman, please call an ambulance right away. They both need to be sent to the hospital for
treatment.â
âBut youâre also injured! You have to get treatment immediately!â Ryan felt so guilty that his voice
choked.
âI know my own body⦠Itâs not a big deal.â
Bella gritted her teeth and endured the pain. Then she stretched out her hands to do a preliminary
examination for Justin.
âStop pretending, Anna⦠Get away from me!â Justin lay flat on the ground, panting. His eyes were
burning with anger.
He hated her for helping the murderer escape, but more than anything, he was worried that her injuries
would worsen, so he wanted her to seek medical treatment as soon as possible.
âIâll leave after examining you. Donât worry.â
Bella lowered her long eyelashes and stubbornly groped his legs with her soft hands, checking for any
fractures.
There were bruises on his handsome face and blood stains on his thin lips. His suit, which was usually
spotless, was extremely dirty.
Bella still had feelings for Justin, so she felt distressed.
She secretly cursed Drew. âThat careless devil! How can he be so ruthless?!â
âGet lost! Donât you understand English?!â Justin was angry and anxious, so he shouted at her.
âNo! You canât take this lightly because you have old injuries. I have to make sure that youâre fine
before I can leave!â Bella was also anxious and yelled back at him. Her eyes were red.
Justinâs eyes were locked on Bellaâs serious and beautiful face. He felt suspicious.
âHow did she know that I have old injuries? Did Ryan tell her?â
Soon, the ambulance arrived and took Justin and Ian to the nearest hospital for medical treatment.
Fortunately, Justin only had superficial injuries. There were no muscle or bone injuries, and his old
injuries were not affected. Thus, Bella was relieved.
In the hospital, Ryan stayed by Bellaâs side the entire time, besides when they were taking out the
metallic ball from her shoulder.
âHow is it? Do you
have any fractures?â
Ryanâs heart leaped to his throat when he saw Bella coming out of the consultation room with a pale
face.
Bella smiled slightly and shook her head. âItâs nothing, just a few stitches.â
âA few stitches⦠You think thatâs nothing?!â
Ryan felt that he might have a cardiac arrest. He paused with his arms raised helplessly in the air. His
tone was remorseful as he said, âWill this have any after-effects? Will you have difficulty moving your
arm in the future? Anna, you must tell me the truth!â
âPft!â
Bella did not know whether to laugh or cry. She teased him in a soft voice. âYou sound like you want me
to be disabled. If I am really disabled and I canât raise my arm anymore, what will you do, Mr.
Hoffman?â
âIâll marry you.â
Bella frowned. âWhat?â
Ryanâs Adamâs apple bobbed, and his eyes were red. He said in a hoarse voice, âIâll take full
responsibility for you, Anna. If you are really disabled, then I will marry you, and I will never let you
suffer again.â
