Bella had just applied medicine for Justin when Matt entered.
âYoung Master Justin, how are you feeling?â
âVery well. Thanks to Bella.â Justin said this as he looked affectionately at Bella.
Bella subtly shifted her body to the side. This man was once as cool as a monk in deep meditation. Yet
now he seemed to be emitting desperate vibes, seizing every opportunity to flirt with her.
âMs. Thompson, Iâm really grateful to you.â
Matt was about to bow and express his gratitude to Bella. However, Bella swiftly moved to his side,
using both hands to help him up.
âUncle Matt, please donât be so polite. Itâs what I should do.â
âMs. Thompson, you are still so kind to our young master.â Matt was not someone who liked to meddle
in othersâ affairs, but he couldnât help but try to set them up at this moment.
âDonât get me wrong. I am dedicated to taking care of Justin because he is a very important person to
Grandpa Nigel.â
Bella smiled faintly and said, âEverything I do is for Grandpa Nigel.â
Matt smiled awkwardly. On the other hand, Justin displayed a pampered expression. He was seemingly
accustomed to Bellaâs sharp -tongued remarks.
In fact, he found amusement in it. No matter how cruel her words
373
were, her actions were always caring for him.
âYoung Master Justin, if you are feeling well, please visit the study.
Old Master has something he wants to discuss with you,â Matt
suggested.
Justin raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, âAlright.â
Then he turned to Bella and said softly, âWait for me. Iâll be back
soon.â
âHmph, whoâs waiting for you? Iâm leaving right now. Goodbye!â Bella
raised her chin arrogantly and brushed past Justin.
Though he felt the urge to grab her hand and keep her here, he
restrained himself.
He watched her leave the room with a melancholy expression, lips pursed.
Meanwhile, Matt felt a mix of joy and regret when he noticed J
attention fixed on Bella.
âUncle Matt, do you find me quite ridiculous now?â Justin sneered
bitterly.
Justin had always regarded Matt as a family member since he was
young, so he did not feel the need to be embarrassed.
âI donât think so, Young Master Justin.â
Mattâs gaze carried the warmth of an elder as he spoke softly, âI also
want to congratulate you for finally realizing your true feelings. Now
that you are single and Ms. Thompson is single, you have a chance. I hope this time, you can love her
as much as she once loved you. Ms.
Thompson is an amazing woman. Please donât disappoint her again.â
After finishing his words, Matt bowed deeply to Justin.
Justin felt a lump in his throat, and his lips trembled signay. Some tears welled up at the corner of his
eye, but he managed to hold them
back.
âUncle Matt, do you think there is still hope for me to win Bella beck?â
Justin asked, and his voice choked with emotion.
Upon hearing these words, a sudden image flashed in Marrâs mind
He recalled when Bellaâs legs were dripping with blood. When she
was sent to the emergency room, she held his arm and pleaded for
him to keep it a secret from Justin.
His pupils trembled, as if he were struck by lightning.
âYoung Master Justin, the road ahead may be difficult. But please, no matter what, donât give up on Ms.
Thompson,â Matt advised,
Justin entered Nigelâs study alone. As soon as the door closed Bellaâs delicate figure emerged at the
corner of the stairs, and slowly crept into the corridor.
She transformed into a mischievous kitten. Her footsteps were light and agile as she approached the
studyâs door.
Bella looked left and right, then slowly pressed her elf-like ears tightly against the door. Her dark eyes
glanced around playfully.
