Chapter 878 Meanwhile, at the Thompson Hospital, Bella was admitted into the VIP ward, lying on the bed with an IV drip attached. Despite her physical and mental exhaustion, she could not fall asleep.
Asher sat at the edge of the bed, holding his sister's foot in his lap, gently tending to Bella’s ankle wound with a cotton swab.
Only then did Bella feel a twinge of pain. She furrowed her brow in silence.
“Bella, you didn’t return to the Savrow villa or Hatchbay last night. Where were you?” Asher asked softly, his hands trembling as he applied the medicine.

All Asher wanted was for his younger sister to live a smooth, peaceful, and joyful life.

She felt as if her soul had fractured into pieces.
Just then, a nurse entered the room.
“Mr. Thompson, Ms. Thompson's wound needs to be redressed.” “Alright.” Asher released his embrace around Bella and prepared to leave, his expression filled with concern.
The nurse helped Bella remove her loose hospital gown, revealing silver silk dress underneath. Her exposed skin was as smooth as jade, and her arms were delicate and slender.
Although Asher had helped Bella dress and put her to bed when she was younger, she was now a grown woman. He knew he needed to be cautious in such situations.
Just as Asher was about to turn and leave the ward, he inadvertently caught sight of something with the corner of his eye. He saw delicate red marks on Bella's neck and collarbone that were strikingly prominent and intense! The red marks did not just stop at Bella's neck. They extended downward, all the way to her chest and everywhere! In an instant, Asher was stunned into stillness for several seconds.

The nurse was startled. Sensing the impending storm in Asher’s demeanor, she quickly retreated out of the room.
“Bella... Did he do anything to you?” Asher’s eyes bore into Bella's. His voice was strained as he said, Justin touched you... Something happened between you two, right?” Bella stared back at Asher with a dim expression, her dry lips twitching slightly.
She did not an but her silence spoke volumes.
“Was it against your will?” Asher practically forced those words ou his clenched teeth.
“No... | did it willingly.” With a thunderous crash, Asher felt as if the most tender part of his heart had shattered.
