"Justin, what are you talking about?" Drew kept his usual carefree smile. "Who said anything about a rescue mission? I'm just heading back to report for duty. I've been AWOL for days; if I don't return soon, theanization might fire me, and I'll lose my benefits." "Stop pretending! I heard everything you said to Dad!" Bella countered, pulling her earlobe. "I'm always listening!" Drew was speechless. This cunning fox was always too curious for her own good, never missing a chance to eavesdrop! "Whatever happens, I'm going to save Yvonne." Drew sighed. "Since Christopher brazenly revealed his location and even arranged a meeting for us in Sentania, it means this will be a brutal fight. To be honest, I'm scared.” "Drew..." Asher stepped forward and gripped his younger brother's shoulders tightly.
"Drew!" Justin and Bella protested.
"I'm not afraid to die. I'm just afraid I won't make it back to see you all." Drew smiled lightly, but the weight of his words bore heavily on everyone's hearts.

If something happens to you, won't Dr. Larson cry himself to death?" Drew couldn't resist teasing, trying to lighten the mood.
Asher's voice was thick with emotion, and his eyes were moist. "We'll alle back alive, and we'll be reunited with those we love, and we will live long and grow old together..." Bella wiped away the tears from her cheeks, moved by Asher's declaration.
"Drew, letgo with you, too." Justin pleaded as he held Bella close. "Don't et, we're brothers-in-arms. Even though I retired from the military, at my core, I'm still a soldier.” "Yes,rades." Drew's eyes glistened with emotion. "I never thought we'd end up fighting side by side like this." "Justin..." Bella looked up at her husband, her face beaming with pride.
However, beneath that pride was a deep worry she did not dare show, fearing it would burden Justin further. If she did not let him personally bring Christopher to justice, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Bella swallowed her tears and kept her tone light as she spoke. "Lately, Axel and Ralph have been working together on the case. With Deputy Chief Hopkins as a key witness, Christopher's stronghold in Savrow has already crumbled. The Iverson Group's stock has plummeted, and the responsible parties have either been arrested or suspended.
"Over in Sentania, he has already begun to panic. Ralph has secured an arrest warrant, and police forces have already been dispatched to Sentania to search for and arrest him. Edward has been waiting for a legitimate reason to take action, and now, with everything in place, he's using his presidential authority to apply pressure. The Sentania police are also scouring the country for Christopher's whereabouts. This time, he won't get away." Drew's heart pounded heavily. "There are still five days until Yvonne and Taylor's wedding." Bella's eyes shone with fierce determination. "I'm going with you!" The three men turned to her in unison, shouting, "No way!" Chapter 2160 1 Asher and Drew were both stunned into silence. They knew she was right, but how could they put her in the line of fire? "Bella, don't go!" Justin pulled her into a tight embrace, his heart beating against hers. Bella could barely breathe with how tightly he was squeezing her.
"I'm going. Justin, no matter what happens, I'll always be with you. We'll always be together," Bella said resolutely.
"Bella, no..." Justin's voice was hoarse as he begged her to reconsider.

Tonight, Bella had been unusually forward, and Justin responded passionately. It was as if this would be their last chance to be together.
His sweat-slicked body pulsed under her touch. Her soft body rose and fell in the throes of their lovemaking. The crystal chandelier cast flickering shadows on the walls that swayed in her vision.
"Bella... I must protect you. I will protect you." Justin whispered in her ear, full of determination.
"I believe in you." Bella wrapped her arms around his neck, arching her body to meet his in a deep, fervent kiss. The two lovers whispered to each other all night long, until their voices were hoarse and dawn finally arrived.
