Chapter 818

Zoe bent down, putting on an attentive expression. “Justin and I will stay by your side tonight. If you’re

hospitalized, I will stay with you at the hospital, no matter how many days!”

Justin frowned deeper, looking displeased.

Bella noticed his expression. This rascal was different from the other big shots in the sense that he

wore his dislike for someone on his face. With his bad temper and low emotional intelligence, Justin

could only achieve success through sheer capability.

When she first married Justin, he showed her this unpleasant expression every day.

Was he unsatisfied with Zoe?

Bella turned her gaze away, not bothering to take another glance at him.

Even if he was unsatisfied now, he must have been satisfied when he knocked on Zoe’s hotel room

door.

“Ms. Hoffman, I’ve undergone an examination, and it’s nothing big. I can go home now.”

Nigel even called Ryan by name, but he addressed Zoe as “Ms.

Hoffman,” showing his indifference. “Ms. Hoffman, do you want to accompany me to the hospital every

day? It seems like you wish I’d never leave the hospital.”

He seemed to be joking, but in Zoe’s ears, it sounded sarcastic. She felt embarrassed.

She had heard Bethany complain about her grandfather long ago, saying that he was a foolish old

geezer. Instead of doting on his own granddaughter, Nigel treated Bella like the apple of his eye. He

disagreed with Bella and Justin’s divorce and even gave Bella their family heirloom.

Fortunately, Rosalind smashed the family heirloom.

That bitch ultimately did one good thing before she disappeared for good.

“No, Grandpa, I didn’t mean that.” Zoe panicked and cast a pitiful glance at Justin.

Justin did not even look at her in the eye, cutting off all the signals Zoe sent him.

“Ms. Hoffman, thanks for your concern, but it’s enough that Justin and Bella are here for me. It’s late

and unsafe for a lady like you to roam around outside. I saw your bodyguards with you, so get them to

send you home.” Nigel’s attitude was gentle, not holding a grudge against a young girl.

However, Zoe’s expression turned ashen. She looked pissed off.

This old geezer did not accept her goodwill or even offer to let Just send her home. He was clearly

telling her to leave the way she came How evil!

She swore to send this old geezer to a nursing home the moment she married into the Salvador family.

Then, she would bribe the caregivers to mistreat him, not letting him eat or drink!

“Anna! Anna, come here!” Nigel’s expression changed, and he waved at Bella happily, ignoring Zoe.

“Yes, Grandpa Nigel.”

Bella resented Justin, but she did not want to make Nigel unhappy, so she walked to him obediently.

Looking at how the usually swift and decisive woman walked toward Nigel obediently, Justin thought

about the time he had just married her three years ago.

A soft part of his heart was moved.

Once upon a time, she liked everything about him, but he did not know his own feelings and was bad at

expressing them.

But so what?

Behind Justin’s dark gaze was a man laden with scars.

“Anna, will you come home with me and Justin? Stay at Crescent Bay tonight.”

Nigel softly stroked Bella’s hair. Afraid that she would feel res he added, “My house is big and has

many rooms. You can live room next to mine.”
