The Divorced Heiress Revenge (Bella Thompson) novel Chapter 2258

Fortunately, due to immediate medical intervention, Bella’s acute gastric hemorrhage was not severe.

By evening, she had been transferred to a regular ward to recuperate. Asher stayed by his sister’s side without leaving her for a second. Even the workaholic Ralph took leave from his team to stay and help care for her tonight.

Axel and Roza wanted to visit upon hearing the news, but Asher stopped them.

He knew that Bella was devastated and utterly exhausted. If they showed up, she would force herself to act strong and smile through the pain.

She was too tired, and this hospitalization gave her a chance to finally rest. It also prevented her from doing anything drastic, like harming herself in a moment of despair.

“Ralph... Can you tell me now?” Bella leaned weakly against the headboard, blinking her swollen eyes.

Ralph’s eyes were red rimmed, and his voice was stifled with emotion. “Bella, you’re so stubborn.”

“I’ve always been stubborn.”

Bella frowned and managed a smile, although it was pale and weak. “Otherwise... How could Justin and I end up like this? Ash, Ralph... Don’t blame him, okay? He didn’t do anything wrong. It’s me... I’m the one who lost Justin. It’s all my fault...”

Before she could finish, her tear-filled eyes overflowed.

“My dear Bella, it’s not your fault either. Neither of you are at fault.” Asher’s large, calloused hands gently held his sister’s clenched fists. His chest trembled with overwhelming bitterness, and his heart weighed heavily in his chest as it thudded painfully.

“Bella, can you promise me something? Look forward. Your life isn’t just about Justin or about love. You still have Dad, your brothers and sisters, and everyone in the family. Bella, if you fall apart, what will happen to us? Our mother, watching over us from above, would never want to see you give up on life. Don’t you think so?”
