Chapter 713

“Grant was 15 years old that year, so he was only slightly taller

stronger than Justin. He was just a young and defenseless boy. I don’t know what gave him the

strength to restrain the kidnappers and

let his brother escape.”

Bella had questions, but she kept them to herself. Instead, she asked, “What happened after that,

Grandpa Nigel? How did Grant escape? We gave Jeremy $2 billion, and Grant was dumped outside

Tideview

Manor without any clothes on.”

Nigel’s complexion was discolored, and his lips quivered. “The child came back covered in blood. He

was tortured and barely breathing. It took a month in the hospital and six months of therapy for him to

get

better. But all that took a toll on his body.”

“Why?” Bella asked in shock.

“We later found out from Grant that Jeremy and his gang were so

furious about him helping Justin escape. But they couldn’t kill Grant

before getting the money. Hence, they took their anger out on him.

They denied him food and beat him up. They even locked him in a

sealed container. The long-term beating and lack of oxygen caused

his lungs, kidneys, heart, and other organs to shut down. He nearly

didn’t survive. It took quite a lot to save Grant. To this day, Grant

remains frail, and his immune system is compromised. Most of the

time, he has to rely on a wheelchair to leave home. At the end of the

day, we could’ve done better for him!”

Bella has a general idea of the incident now.

This source of Justin’s guilt toward his brother and the

reason why Gregory was so strict and unhappy with Justin.

Justin managed to escape with his brother’s help, but his brother became a shell of his former self as a

result.

Bella could only imagine the heavy burden and guilt riding on Justin’s

back for him to get so far. Justin could have fought back when Gregory hit him, but he put up with it

anyway.

Justin felt like he owed it to Grant.

“Please don’t tell Justin what I told you, Anna. If he doesn’t bring it up

you, just play dumb,” Nigel urged.

Bella let out a thoughtful smile and said tenderly, “I understand. Don’t

worry.”

“Anna, are you going to look down on Justin? Do you think he’s a coward who cares only about himself

without any regard for his brother?” Nigel’s strained voice was filled with concern.

Bella felt distraught. She took a seat next to Nigel and put her warm

hand over the old man’s cold hand.

“I have never looked down on Justin, Grandpa Nigel. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married him in the first

place. Like Grant, he’s the victim of a kidnapping. Justin got a little lucky because he had a brother who

was willing to do anything to keep him safe. Thank God he made it safely back to you. I feel bad for

Grant, but this is no reason to condemn and criticize Justin. I believe he wished he could

save his brother too, but he was too young to do anything. He must

have blamed himself for a long time”

Feeling moved, Nigel gave Bella a bear hug. “Anna, I feel better knowing you’re with Justin. Should one

day I’m no longer alive and kicking, I can rest easy knowing you’re by his side.”

Bella was speechless. As rosiness crept onto her cheeks, she wanted to say something but simply

patted the old man on the back in the

end.

By the time Justin had gone through his physical examination and infusion therapy, it was dark outside

Picking up on Carrie’s rumbling belly, Ryan knew the girl was too shy to admit she was hungry. He got

up and said goodbye to Justin and

Bella.

“My girl is hungry. I need to go home and cook for her.” Ryan wrapped his arm around Carrie’s waist,

bringing her closer to him. He could not

get his hands off her.
