Bella listened attentively to Mila's recounting, her eyes gradually reddening.

Covered in wounds... Almost dead...

What sort of tragic experience did her mother go through in the past to have almost died in a foreign land?

Justin held Bella's trembling hands tightly and asked in confusion, "Mrs. Thompson wandered alone in Hatchbay for so many years, giving Chairman Thompson a family. Did she never once contact her family or go back to her country?"

Mila lowered her eyes and shook her head, "No, never. Wyatt even changed her nationality and gave her a new identity, helping her to have a clean break from her past."

Upon hearing it, the couple was more confused.

What type of experience would make Yara choose to hide her name and bid farewell to her home country?

Mila's few words only intensified Bella's curiosity about her mother's background.

"Bella, I don't know any further details, even if you ask me about it. Besides, your father reminded us more than once over the years not to tell you anything about your mother."

Mila grabbed Bella's hand with pleading eyes. "Although I don't know why, you must believe your father. He really loves you and your mother. Everything he did was for your good. So... Bella, just pretend you've never heard whatever I said today. Don't go asking your father, alright?"

Bella's strong love for her mother surged within her chest, but she did not want to make things difficult for Mila, so she could only nod with tears brimming in her eyes.

After the chaos caused by Cameron, Wyatt's barely recovered body became frail and weak again.

Arnold arrived in time to perform a series of examinations on Wyatt, then injected medicine before his condition gradually stabilized.

The moment he returned to his office and closed the door, Arnold felt as if a hundred-pound rock had crashed down on him, and he collapsed into the chair, exhausted.

As the head physician, he felt immense pressure.

Wyatt was his crush's father.

It was his first performance in front of his future father-in-law. Who could have understood the overwhelming pressure he felt?

Thinking of this, Arnold lifelessly slumped over the desk, pouting like a neglected woman.

Wyatt's life was in grave danger during this episode. Arnold gave his all to save him, fighting with the Grim Reaper to bring Wyatt back.

Arnold had not slept for three days, and his legs were cramping from all the standing. He felt tired and hungry. But Asher spent all his time around his father without a comforting word for Arnold.

In the field of romance, Arnold had always been a winner, never lacking in handsome flings to spend the night with.

But this time, he had taken a hard fall because of Asher, finally experiencing what it was like to have his feelings played by a man.

"Asher... I hate you!"

Arnold was so mad that he nearly shattered the glass desk. His narrow, fox-like eyes were brimming with tears. "This is the last time... I swear, this is the last time I will help you! Next time, even if you kneel to beg me, I won't..."

Knock, knock-

Someone knocked on the door at this moment.

Arnold hurriedly grabbed two tissues to wipe his tears and snot before walking over to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Asher's handsome face appeared in Arnold's teary vision. His thin lips held a smile, and his obsidian eyes shone with starlight.

"Arnold."

Arnold's heart thumped wildly, his fingers on the doorframe tightening.

Arnold felt pathetic, losing his composure immediately after seeing this man.
