Bella gave him a peck on the cheek and said, "Good job."

Justin, feeling pleased with his reward, squinted happily with his starry eyes. "Oh, there's one more thing. The Iverson family has made a move." Bella instantly perked up. "Oh, really? What is it?"

"They are planning to hold a press conference to clarify what happened in the previous meeting."

"Clarify? I think they're just trying to dodge responsibility and shift the blame." Bella giggled softly, tracing a heart on his chest with her fingertips.

"The Iverson family had put so much effort into Theodore, and now that he had failed, they're probably worried about getting in trouble with the higher-ups."

Justin's gaze turned cold as he said, "To prove their sincerity, the Iverson Group will surely organize a press conference very soon, perhaps within the next few days."

"Hmph, Theodore's behavior as the corrupt councilman is inexcusable, but it's truly despicable how the Iverson family acts all high and mighty after turning their backs on him."

"Don't worry, Bella. I promised to seek justice for Amelia, and I won't give up easily. Anyone who hurts you or your loved ones will face severe consequences," Justin said through gritted teeth with a fierce determination in his voice.

Bella smiled joyfully as she listened to his powerful and steady heartbeat, her eyes squinting with delight.

Another reason she loved Justin was because of his strong commitment to fairness and his fearless sense of justice. They both shared similar values, believing in kindness and working toward a better world. Justin took hold of her fragile hand and touched her pinky finger.

A wave of tender soreness filled his chest instantly, and his throat tightened slightly. "Bella, what exactly happened to your finger? Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing, just a little accident from climbing trees when I was a child. It doesn't bother me."

Bella forced a smile, trying to make it seem genuine. "It's just a pinky. It doesn't affect my work or life. I'm a grown adult, so please don't always be so anxious around me. Relax a little. We have a long life ahead of us. If you are so tense all the time, I think you might end up with a heart attack."

"Because it's about you," Justin said softly, leaning down to give a gentle kiss on her forehead. "Even if it's a little thing, everything involving you deeply affects me and echoes deeply in my heart." "Justin, I know you've always felt regretful and guilty about what happened in the past, and it's been hard for you to look me in the eye, but I hate seeing you like this."

Bella felt a wave of sadness as she lightly touched his chiseled cheek. "I understand how tough it is to feel small and unworthy in front of someone you love. I don't want you to struggle with self-doubt, denial, and pain."

She continued, "Our journey hasn't been easy, and I wish our relationship could be happy and uncomplicated, as simple and pure as everyone else."

Back then, she had gone to great lengths to make Justin love her, changing herself in every way she could. The pain was so intense that it would wake her up, leaving her in tears. She loved him and didn't want him to face the same struggles she had.

Justin could understand her feelings, and it made him feel a deep sense of pain. He rested his arm beside her, his veins bulging, and he kissed her again.

It was a mix of powerful and tender emotions.

Bella felt lightheaded and fragile, like she was drifting into the sky.

"Bella, after we're done with the Iverson family, let's go to Switzerland," Justin whispered in her ear.

"We can have a great time there. Didn't you say you wanted to see the mountains? I'll go with you." Bella blinked and replied casually, "Sure."

As someone in the medical field, she was aware of a well-known gynecology professor based in Switzerland.

Justin was always thoughtful and caring, but he wasn't the type to seek out fun or romantic trips. His proposal for a trip definitely had a hidden agenda-he wanted to accompany her to see a doctor. Even if there was no hope, he wanted to try.

She deeply understood his intentions and how he felt. If this could make him feel a bit better, then she would be okay with it.
