The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2016

“Bella doesn’t know you’re here to see me, right?” Drew lowered his voice, his breathing a little unstable.

“Bella is already asleep.”

Justin looked at him deeply and frowned. “Drew, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell? I can ask my grandpa’s personal doctor to come and take a look at you now.”

Drew let him in and closed the door tightly. Then he panted and walked to the sofa.

Under the dim lights, he gritted his teeth and took off the tattered black shirt.

Instantly, Justin’s pupils contracted, and he gasped in shock.

Drew’s well-defined chest and abdomen were covered with horrifying wounds everywhere. Some had scabbed over, and some were still bleeding.

But more terrifyingly was the palm-sized burn on his back.

His honey-colored skin was bloody red, with a huge blister that had swollen and burst. Blood mixed with pus trickled down.

“How did this happen?!” Justin’s heart tightened, and he quickly helped Drew to sit down.

“Christopher hired some thugs to kill me and Yvonne, then set a fire outside the villa, trying to burn us to death inside.” Drew felt the bone-piercing pain from the burn and gritted his teeth.

He led a dangerous life and was undoubtedly a tough guy, not making a sound despite suffering such major injuries.

In fact, he was already hanging on by a thread when he came to see Bella. He forced himself to endure the pain until now to avoid worrying his sister.

“Christopher… That insane madman!” Justin’s eyes reddened with hatred, and he took a cotton swab soaked in iodine to disinfect Drew’s wounds.

Having his back facing him, Drew panted and smiled. “Honestly, right now, I’m most grateful that Bella still loved you even when Christopher was pursuing her. Thank goodness she was not deceived by that bastard. Otherwise, Bella’s life would be ruined.”

Justin’s fingertips trembled, and a thousand emotions surged in his heart, choking his throat.

“So, in a way, I have to thank you.” Drew’s face twisted in pain where Justin could not see.

“Being chosen by Bella is the greatest honor of my life.” Intense emotions churned in Justin’s eyes as he said, “I didn’t do anything for Bella. She was smart and strong enough, capable of protecting herself.”

“Tsk. Protect herself?”

Drew’s lips curled, his face covered in sweat. “When did she ever protect herself… In the past, Wyatt protected her, and now that she’s grown, we protected her. Who would want to put up all their defenses and act strong if there’s someone to pamper and protect them?”

At this moment, the cruel but beautiful images of him and Yvonne fighting alongside each other appeared vividly in his mind.
