The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2246

Bella’s teary eyes widened as she stared at Justin in disbelief! She hung her head, staring blankly at her hands.

In the past, Justin would eagerly reach out and hold her hand.

They would kiss and cuddle, their fingers intertwined in a tight embrace. Justin would whisper soft promises in her ear, repeating over and over that no matter what, he vowed never to let go of her hand.

However, Justin was coldly pulling his hand away from hers.

In that moment, Bella felt an agonizing pain, as if her very bones were being ripped from her body.

When Ian saw this, he was shocked, his face turning pale.

No one understood better than him how much Justin had loved Bella before the coma and how deeply they were in love.

But Justin, who had just regained consciousness, though unaffected by amnesia, seemed to have transformed into a different person altogether.

His attitude toward Nigel, Gregory, and even the woman he had once loved was shockingly cold and distant.

“Grandpa, Dad.” Justin turned his indifferent gaze away from Bella’s eyes and spoke in a low, weary tone, “I’m tired, and I’d like to rest for a while. Can everyone please leave the room?”

Gregory was briefly taken aback for a moment.

Unlike Justin’s more sensitive and graceful elder brother, Justin had always been aloof and reserved from a young age. He had always been distant and cold to the people around him, never openly expressing his feelings to others.

However, after regaining consciousness, his personality seemed to have become even colder and more isolated than before.

Gregory nodded. “Alright, alright. You rest well. We’ll come see you once you’re rested.”

Justin did not say a word. He just rolled over onto his side, turning his back to everyone in the room and shutting himself off from the world, even from Bella.

…

After leaving the ward, Bella ran frantically to Arnold’s office.

Although Gregory had forbidden the Thompson family from visiting, Arnold was an internationally renowned neurosurgeon and had been asked by the Salvador family to continue treating Justin.

“Arnold… Why has Justin become like this?!” Bella could barely get the words out between sobs. “He didn’t lose his memory; he still remembers me, but he’s changed so much... Why is this happening?!”

Arnold held the latest MRI scans and frowned deeply. “Justin’s amygdala has suffered severe damage. That’s the part of the brain responsible for emotions and feelings. That’s why Justin seems so cold and indifferent to everyone because he can’t process emotions. It’s like a phone cut off from all signals. He’s locked himself inside a sealed space, refusing to connect with anyone.”

Bella’s mind raced, overwhelmed by the devastating news. Shaking, she asked, “So how is this going to affect his life?”
