Carrie could not close the door fast enough to block Drew out. Drew stuck his hand on the door frame. Try as she may, Carrie could not shut the door.

Drew sighed and smiled wryly with a frown as his once-close sister feared and resisted him.

"Don't hide away from me, Bella. I'm not here to bring you home."

Justin and Bella were surprised. "Huh? Drew..."

"It has never been my intention to break you up."

Drew looked at the couple, who went through a lot. Fate seemed to have other things in mind. He felt bad. "I only sought you to make sure you were safe and sound. Don't be scared."

His words hit a nerve in Bella.

Feeling a lump in his throat, Justin pursed his lips.

He did not expect that from Drew.

Someone in Bella's family was willing to take his side and believe him.

"Drew!"

Bella went up and hugged Drew, and the latter embraced her warmly and ran his fingers along her hair. "You're a silly girl. You jumped from the fifth floor just to get out. If anything were to happen to you, how are we supposed to live? We'll be monks and dedicate our lives to God."

"What? Bella..." Justin froze in shock, his eyes widening.

"I'm fine, aren't I? It's just five floors down." Bella wiped her snot on Drew's black shirt.

"I know you. No one can stop you from doing what you want. You even jumped off the plane in the South Island the last time." Drew wiped her snot with his tie.

There was only one woman Drew would spoil.

"Can you cut the crap?"

Bella sniffled. "Why would you become a monk if I were gone? It makes sense if Justin becomes one."

Ryan nervously arrived on the scene.

As things were not as tense as he thought, Ryan heaved a sigh of relief and pulled Carrie into his arms.

"Um... Ryan, did I get the wrong idea about that man?"

Feeling bad, Carrie lifted her innocent-looking face. "I thought he was one of the bad guys."

"Yeah, he's not a bad guy."

Ryan thought to himself, 'He's just a devil.'

After consoling Bella, Drew looked up callously and approached Justin.

"Thank you, Drew, for giving me a chance," Justin said hoarsely.

Suddenly, Justin caught a fleeting shadow.

Drew swung his fist at Justin's face.

"Justin!"

"No, Drew!" It was too late for Bella to stop him.

Justin braced himself to take the hit.

Nevertheless, Drew stopped right before his fist touched his nose and scoffed. "Don't flatter yourself. I just don't want Bella to be sad because you're the only one for her. Do you really think I will let the past go?"

Justin's chest tightened. "I'm sorry. I know I deserve to die, but thank you for not taking Bella away, even if it's just temporary. Every extra second I get to spend with her is a gift."

Surprised, Drew slowly withdrew his arm.

Bella eagerly returned to Justin's side and locked fingers with him.

"Let me share a piece of good news."

Feeling bad for his sister, Drew did not want to stay the bad guy and softened his tone. "I found the hideout of the woman who highly resembles you, Bella."

The news was a godsend for Bella and Justin.
