The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 1407

The following afternoon, Rachel finally regained consciousness from her coma. Upon waking up, she saw her mother and Ian, who had been waiting by her bedside for her to wake up.

Rachel was excited and touched. In the heat of the moment, she threw herself into her mother’s arms. The mother and daughter were reunited after the ordeal, crying together in each other’s embrace.

The usually cold Ian silently shed tears at the touching scene. He quickly wiped them away. After all, he must maintain the demeanor of an elder.

“Mom, no matter what you say, I won’t change my mind.” Rachel gently wiped her mother’s tears, her gaze unusually resolute. “I’ve decided to testify in court. If I don’t fight for my own destiny, even Ms. Thompson and Mr. Salvador won’t be able to help me.”

Mrs. Mead choked up. “Rachel... I’m so worried for you.”

“Mom, if you’re worried about me, then please don’t stop me. I must speak up and seek justice for myself and the other girls hurt by Charles.”

Ian’s eyes narrowed, and his heart was pounding. He felt that Rachel had matured even more overnight. Her unwavering and resolute gaze even reminded him a little of Bella.

“Rachel... I was wrong before. I was confused…” Mrs. Mead nodded vigorously, holding her daughter tightly. “I will respect your decision.”

Just as Ian was about to quietly leave, Rachel suddenly smiled gratefully and introduced him to her mother. “Mom, this is Mr. Harris. He’s Mr. Salvador’s secretary. Yesterday, he did everything he could to save me. He’s my lifesaver.”

“Thank you! Thank you so much, sir!” Mrs. Mead expressed her gratitude tearfully.

Ian scratched his head, blushing sheepishly. “Uh... Please, just call me Ian.”

“Mom, could you do me a favor today and go home? Get the fabric I bought and my toolbox.” Rachel raised her long eyelashes and glanced shyly at Ian, biting her lip. “I’m bored staying in the hospital, and I want to finish the backpack I promised to make for Mr. Harris. I don’t want him to wait too long.”

Ian’s breathing became erratic, his heart pounding so intensely that it felt like it might burst from his chest. “No, no need, Ms. Mead! Your recovery is the priority. Don’t trouble yourself over such a small matter for me!”

Rachel lightly shook her head, her bright eyes shimmering with moisture. “It’s just a craft project, not tiring at all. Besides, you lack nothing, and I have nothing to give you in return. This is just a small token of appreciation. I hope you won’t dislike it.”

…

In the lounge next door, the young couple sat side by side on the sofa. Justin was busy handling group affairs on his laptop, while Bella was earnestly eating from her lunchbox nearby.

“Mm... Justin, you should take a break and eat first.” Bella picked up a cube of steak and offered it to Justin’s lips. “The lunch boxes near the hospital are not bad.”

Justin’s eyes remain fixed on the screen. He leaned toward her to take a bite and slowly chewed the meat.

Bella stared at his slightly glistening lips, his strong masculine jawline, and those long eyelashes that fluttered like thick fans.

She thought, ‘Good lord, how can this man be so sexy even while eating? It’s infuriating!’
