Aurora Dourada: Retorno By Ricardo Almeida

Bethany could not dodge in time and was also caught in it. She was

so nauseous that she almost vomited.

The crowd was stunned!

Everyone fell into a great shock, including Bella and Justin.

Who could have thought that an old woman who was bedridden a few days ago due to the passing of her only remaining family was filled with the strength to kill her enemies now? She glared at Shannon, and every inch of her bones seemed indestructible!

It commanded respect from the others.

“You evil bitch… Get lost now! Don’t stand here and dirty Linny’s road

to heaven!”

Linny’s grandmother stood straight, despite her small frame. Her voice was full of vitality. “If you don’t scram now, I’ll bust your head open with these bowls! My only granddaughter is not here anymore. There’s nothing left for me to live for. I’m not afraid of using my life to go against you corrupted conglomerates!”

Shannon and Bethany arrived grandly, but they ended up damaging their own image and fleeing in desperation.

Their departure also brought the reporters away. After all, they needed to write about the wife of the Salvador Corporation’s chairman’s

glorious deeds.

Although Linny’s, funeral started amidst the chaos, it ended smoothly.

After the fuss Shannon and Bethany made, Linny’s grandmother exhausted herself and fainted. She was urgently sent to the hospital by the Thompsons to receive the best care and treatment.

In the lounge, Bella sat on the sofa and looked gloomy.

Although they had won this battle, she still shook in anger when she thought of how Shannon and Bethany humiliated and bullied Linny in Wilma’s recording. It was as if thousands of arrows had pierced her heart, making her convulse in pain.

Asher and Axel took care of the aftermath, as they needed to control the media. Even though Justin had announced his stance in front of the whole nation’s media, they still needed to take precautions to

protect their sister.

Ralph wanted to stay with Bella but had other cases to deal with at the police station and left first.

The ones accompanying her in the lounge were Steven, Amelia, Drew,

and Justin.

“Did you turn on the air conditioner? Why is it a little cold?” Bella asked in a daze, hugging herself.

“No, Bella.”

Amelia looked worried. “Are you sick? I’ll get a blanket for you.”

Just as she was about to leave, Justin quickly took off his suit jacket and wrapped it around Bella’s body carefully, as if he were looking

after an infant.

Bella’s wet lashes lifted, and her heart skipped a beat.

Justin kneeled before her on one knee, staring into her reddened eyes as if he wanted to delve into the softest and most painful corner of

hér heart.

“Bella, I know what you’re thinking. I understand you.” He did not say more than necessary, but his simple words hit harder instead.

“I just feel cold.” Bella’s pale lips parted as she muttered, looking at

him with teary eyes.

Justin’s heart ached as if it had been run over by a truck. He opened his arms and hugged her, wanting to envelop Bella completely.

“Are you still cold?” His deep voice echoed in her ear.

Bella bit her lips lightly, her body leaning against his chest like she was boneless, and shook her head.

“With me around, you’ll never be cold again.” Justin coaxed her like a

child.

He knew that Bella was reminded of some painful memories. She

was never really over Linny’s death. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

They would take it slow. When a kind person was emotionally

wounded, it would take a long time to heal. He had enough love and

patience for that.

Drew and Steven watched as the two silently embraced each other like animals searching for warmth. The tension that hung in their hearts dissipated.

Amelia, being an emotional person, felt touched. Her eyes teared up.

Suddenly, she felt a warm sensation in her hand.

Steven gently took her hands, slowly interlocking their fingers.
