Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 1220

When my hand touched him, he suddenly fell, and I exclaimed, "Arnold!"

As I hugged him, he smirked at me mischievously.

I was exasperated. "You scared me to death. How bad is your injury?"

Hana looked at me and said softly, "The bullet just grazed his skin.”

Arnold joked, "See? What did I tell you about me being lucky?"

"I can’t believe you're still joking. If anything happened to you, how could I face Archie?" My voice trembled.

"He still has you and Ardie anyway. What are you worried about?" he shrugged.

"Nonsense!" I glared at him. "You and Hana should go back and rest properly tomorrow. It's too dangerous here. You shouldn't stay."

"You’ve only realized how dangerous it is here now? I warned you about this before we came. Didn’t you believe me?" Arnold's tone was serious. "Would I have been injured if you had listened to my advice?"

His words made me even more uncomfortable. "That's why I want you to go back. And Hana, no matter which Avila family you’re from, I won't allow anything to happen to you because of me.”

As those words escaped my lips, tears welled up in my eyes.

Arnold was right. He wouldn't have been injured if I hadn't insisted on coming here.

My words had just revealed my intentions clearly and hinted that I had already confirmed Hana's identity as my mother's relative and, thus, mine too.

Hana didn't respond, but the gentleness in her eyes confirmed my suspicion.

"Do you think I can just leave you here and rest? How can I go back like this?" Arnold asked sternly, now resembling an older brother.

"Atlas is here. He won't let anything happen to me," I argued.

"Him? He's already spoiled you rotten." Arnold didn't hold back, his expression stern.

"Anyway, he is him, and I am me. If I were still abroad, I wouldn’t have seen any of this. But you're here with me now. If I let you stay here In such a dangerous place and run back home alone, what kind of brother would I be? My dad would beat me up if I did that. It's not something a Beringer man would do."

As I locked eyes with Atlas for a moment, a name suddenly popped into my mind. I gasped and said, "Could it be Denton? It must be him!”

Atlas didn't deny it.

"Looks like this guy is asking for trouble." Arnold gritted his teeth. "I'll have to settle the score with him. He’s relentless. He hired assassins and tried to attack us while we were in a foreign country!"

Everyone was shocked to hear Arnold's words. I looked at him and asked, "Assassins?"

"The ones who attacked us were all foreigners. Of course they were assassins," Arnold confirmed.

Atlas glanced at him, then turned to Cane. "Get dinner ready."

"I've ordered dinner. Let's have it here." Cane suggested.

After all that commotion, nobody had any appetite for dinner, to be honest.
