Chapter 878


    Meanwhile, at the Thompson Hospital, Be 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 hisp, gently tending to Be’s ankle


    wound with a cotton swab.


    Only then did Be feel a twinge of pain. She furrowed her brow in


    silence.


    “Be, you didn’t return to the Savrow vi or Hatchbayst night. Where were you?” Asher asked


    softly, his hands trembling as he


    applied the medicine.


    Be remained silent.


    “Did you go see Justin?”


    The mention of that man’s name was like a ticking time bomb. Ev time Asher brought it up, it was with


    the utmost caution. “Arnold sai you took him to see Justin yesterday, and it didn’t end well. Then, you


    left the ce alone after a phone call. Did you go see him?”


    “Ash…”


    After a moment, Be finally met Asher’s gaze with her hollow gaze, her voice hoarse. “I hate myself


    now… I feel so stupid…”


    “Hey, what are you saying? Don’t be so hard on yourself.”


    Asher’s heart ached as he leaned closer to embrace Be. “I won’t let


    anyone who speaks ill of you off lightly.’


    Compared to his family, God and religion seemed insignificant to


    Asher.


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

    Be choked up in her big brother’s arms, unable to understand why


    seeing the photo of Justin and Rosalind together had such a powerful


    impact on her.


    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 Be and prepared to leave, his


    expression filled with concern.


    The nurse helped Be 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 Be 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 Be’s neck and corbone that were strikingly


    prominent and intense!


    The red marks did not just stop at Be’s neck. They extended


    downward, all the way to her chest and everywhere!


    In an instant, Asher was stunned into stillness for several seconds.


    His throat visibly bobbed as he reached forward, and his hands


    gripped Be’s slender shoulders tighter, his fingers almost embedding into her flesh.


    The nurse was startled. Sensing the impending storm in Asher’s


    demeanor, she quickly retreated out of the room.


    “Be… Did he do anything to you?”


    Asher’s eyes bore into Be’s. His voice was strained as he said, Justin touched you… Something


    happened between you two, right?”


    Be 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… I did it willingly.”


    With a thunderous crash, Asher felt as if the most tender part of his


    heart had shattered.
