Justin's subordinates arrived at the scene soon after. They carried flashlights and spread out to search for Bella.

Though his leather shoes and pants were covered in mud from running into the rain, Justin could not care less. His red-rimmed eyes were laced with anxiety and worry. "Slow down, Mr. Salvador. Be careful!" lan tried to keep up with him. He was dumbfounded.

What happened?

Why was Bella alone in a shithole?

Bella sorted out the four perverts and whacked them to the ground.

However, the fight drained her completely, and it took everything in her not to collapse.

She snatched the phone from one of them and headed straight into the rain in the dark again.

Not wanting to be tracked down by the persistent perverts, Bella did not stop once to rest, as she had no more energy to fend off another danger.

Bella numbly walked ahead, unable to feel her legs.

Finally, she could not move another step anymore and went limp in a run-down gazebo. She took a quick break before contacting Justin.

Above all, she feared Justin could not find her.

Time passed.

Bella hugged her knees and curled up into a ball, burying her face into her legs and drifting off. However, she clung tightly to the phone. Her dream brought her back to three years ago.

Bleeding profusely from the car crash, she gripped the doctor's arm and pleaded in tears.

"Please save my baby..."

"Bella!"

Lost in her dreams, Bella heard Justin calling out to her, but she lost the strength to answer him.

A warm embrace and firm chest enveloped her shivering body.

"Justin... Is that you?" Bella murmured, her eyes flickering with tears.

Justin pulled his arms closer together, pressing her against his chest. His voice was muffled and hoarse. "It's me... Bella, I'm here."

His breath hitched when he saw her curled up in a ball from afar. He felt like his heart had been ripped into half.

Tears rolled down his cheeks and dripped on Bella's shoulders.

He could cry a river.

Not in the right headspace, Bella mumbled, "Justin... Our child... We lost our child! Please save our baby!"

Her words hit him hard.

His shaky palm reached for Bella's forehead, and the scorching temperature shocked him.

"You're burning up, Bella! I'm taking you to the hospital now." Justin took off his jacket, covered her with it, and picked her up.

Bella's cheeks were flushed as she rambled, "Our baby..."

"It's okay, Bella. We'll be fine even without a child."

With teardrop-stained lashes, Justin bent over to kiss her burning forehead. "You are my baby. I will spoil you, love you, and protect you. You are all I need."

Justin carried Bella through the storm while lan teared up and grinned from the overwhelming emotions.

After getting into the car, Justin threw away his soaked jacket and covered Bella with the blanket from the hospital. He hugged her tightly, his eyes red. "Take us to the hospital now, lan."

"Yes, sir."

"No..."
