Chapter 551 Retaliation By The Divorced Heiress

• Abruptly, a tinge of crimson clouded Justin's eyes. Right then, Bella gave him that unfathomable feeling of familiarity again, and his heart skipped a beat. She expertly cleansed his wounds using the ointment and disinfectant from the medical bag that Dr. Hunt had left behind. "Bella," Justin whispered to her. Bella applied the ointment a little harder as a warning, but she kept her graceful poise. Justin scrunched his brow in discomfort, but he continued.

Lost in his recollections, he gazed at the moon outside with bewildered, hazy, starry eyes. A resolute and unyielding woman stood before him. "Back then, when I was a soldier in the peacekeeping force, I met her on the battlefield." Justin's remarks caused Bella's hand, which was holding the sterile cotton, to shake uncontrollably. Her face became white with terror, and her heartbeat quickened quickly. She could hear her heart pounding loudly in the quiet room.

I had no attachments or desires at the time; therefore, I never considered surviving.
