Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Right after they ordered the arrest of Winston, Shannon hurriedly left the house. Nobody would believe it was a coincidence.

Perhaps they could find Linny’s murderer by following Shannon.

After two days, Justin remained in the hospital, staying in a ward just

a wall away from Bella.

He did not disturb Bella during the past 48 hours. Only when Bella was asleep after taking a sedative would he stand outside her ward, watching her beautiful but haggard sleeping face, which still strummed his heartstrings, through the window.

He raised his hand, tracing the outline of her face on the glass

window with his fingertips.

Justin could stay here and keep her company forever without making his presence known. He only feared that Bella would not even accept

“Justin.”

The door to the smoking room opened. Justin’s fingertips trembled. He turned around to see Drew standing by the door.

Drew walked to him and stood next to him. “Give me a cigarette.”

Justin’s eyelashes fluttered. He pulled out a cigarette and handed it to Drew. Drew held it between his lips and gestured for Justin to light

Justin frowned slightly as he obeyed. Nobody in the world could order Justin to put himself in a lower position, except for Drew.

more.

At this point, if Justin wanted even a glimmer of hope between him and Bella, he had to be willing to do anything.

Drew took a deep drag on the cigarette and exhaled smoke rings, glancing at Justin teasingly. “Brat, you could really hold yourself well in the face of beauty.”

As he spoke, Drew narrowed his eyes and licked his lips.

Justin’s hand trembled. This crazy man did not treat him as an outsider at all, speaking such outlandish words.

“I’m tied up lately, but I need to take care of my little sister.”

Amidst the smoke, Drew’s expression turned serious. “I’ll have to

trouble you to work harder and inform me of any news immediately. I’ll fucking kill that bastard myself!”

Drew cracked his knuckles loudly as his words fell.

Justin stayed silent for a while and then crushed the cigarette butt. You don’t need to step in. I’ll do it.”

“No. Not you,” Drew said decisively.

“We’re both doing it for Bella. Why not me?” Justin asked in

confusion.

“Brat, if you really want a future with Bella, you’d better stay put.”

Drew’s gaze lowered. He spread out his palm and slowly closed it. His eyes were dark. “I’m skilled in that area, but not you. Once there’s blood on your hands, everything will go in an unpredictable direction. Bella wouldn’t want that.”

“It’s too late for that.”

Justin took another cigarette and smiled bitterly. “When I was in the army, t killed more than I could remember.”

“You know that it’s different. Anyway, I hope you don’t get involved in this. The more trouble you stir up, the more trouble Bella will be in.

Drew snorted. “Don’t think that I care about you. Everything I do is for my sister.”

“I know, but I still have to thank you.” Justin’s eyes flashed. He cleared his throat and added in a low voice, “Brother.”

Drew immediately turned to look at him in shock.
