Chapter 2197
Bella's ears perked up as she heard the words "memory loss". Her entire body broke out in a cold sweat, and her heart clenched at the thought.
She thought, 'What drug? What memory loss? What exactly is Christopher planning to do to me?!!
"Bella is stubborn by nature, wild, and untamable. If you don't give her the drug, don't even dream of using your sincerity to win her over and trying to make her completely devoted to you. If that were possible, Justin wouldn't still be in the picture, and it wouldn't have dragged on until today, would it?"
"But Bella once lost a child, and her health has never been the same."
Christopher took a deep breath to ease the pain in his chest, as if the child Bella lost had been his own. "If the drug only erased Bella's memories, that would be great. But it also contains many banned substances, and the clinical trial reports from the RC Biotech Research Centre clearly state that its effects are extremely unstable, potentially causing severe side effects! Bella is just a fragile young woman. What if it harms her? I love her! I can't bear to see her suffer by my side!"
Bella's eyes widened, bloodshot. Her heart was pounding from the conversation she was hearing. She struggled to steady her breathing, straining to listen intently.
She knew the person calling Christopher had to be the mastermind hiding in the shadows, the one controlling everything from behind the scenes. Unfortunately, she was too far away and could not hear the other speaker.
"Sir, please... Just this once, let me make the decision!" Christopher pleaded.
Grant's voice was cold and biting, each word driving nails into Christopher's heart. "If I let you make the decision, you'll only end up regretting your foolish choice. The drug must be given to Bella. This is a direct order!" Grant suddenly let out a cold, mocking laugh. "Unless, of course, you think you've already achieved your goal and no longer want to follow my orders. In that case, forget what I said."
Christopher's heart wrenched, his hands trembling as they clenched tightly. "My life belongs to you, sir. I would never betray you, even in death."
He knew all too well that he was now a fallen giant.
Grant had eyes and ears everywhere;
if angered, Christopher would not
only put himself in danger, but Bella's situation would become extremely perilous. He had no choice but to continue being an obedient dog. His fate had been sealed the moment he was cast out of Savrow 15 years ago, leaving him with no other options.
"Sir, I beg you" Christopher leaned against the glass doors, supporting his body that was on the brink of collapse If Bella and I can successfully marry and become husband and wife, could you please not use the drug on her? I'm begging you..."
There was a long silence on the other end.
Bella stared at Christopher's shadowed figure, her heart filled with overwhelming terror. Could
there really be such a drug in this et
worldzone that could erase all memories, including the memory of the one she loved most... Would she forget him completely too?
Bella clutched the bedsheet tightly, hot tears rolling down her face. How could she forget Justin?
She met him for the first time when
she was eleven, and she had been
captivated by him at first sight For the next 13 years, she endured countless hardships, waded through blood and storms, and finally found her way back to him. How could she forget him?!
Bella squeezed her eyes shut and pressed her hand over her heart She could only feel an empty cavity full of longing.
"If you're so eager to conquer her, I'll give you that chance."
...
Perhaps it was from overwhelming sorrow, or maybe it was the effect of but Bella slept for a
the anesthesia, but Bella
long time. When she finally opened
her swollen eyes, the first thing she saw was Christopher.
