LORD CHESTER COMES BACK

The rain had subsided somewhat, and the ancestral hall was brightly lit. However, Ann’s cries disrupted the tranquility of the place. Bella, preoccupied with worries about her own safety, hadn’t noticed the blood flowing from Ann’s ear. On her cold, stunning face, a twisted smile appeared as Ann’s cries grew sharper.

“Yes, cry like that!” she encouraged. “It wasn’t easy for your mother to convince your uncle to take all the blame! Tonight, that bastard will surely come to the hall to take that despicable woman’s tombstone. The more you cry, the safer I’ll be!”

Bella had been thoroughly frightened by Jun Chester. In the Chester Cemetery, all the soldiers had bowed their heads to Jun Chester as he carried the coffin away, like a group of dutiful sons. Blake Charlton was even more pathetic, wagging his tail like an old dog in front of Jun Chester.

How terrifying was this Jun Chester? No matter what, she couldn’t let him take revenge on her. If she could appease his anger, she would do anything!

Standing at the entrance, Jun Chester’s eyes were filled with murderous intent as he witnessed the scene. How vicious did she have to be to hurt her own child? She shouldn’t be allowed to exist in this world.

Jun Chester approached Bella with a cold expression. At that moment, Bella suddenly realized something was wrong with Ann’s cries. She glanced at her left ear and was instantly horrified.

“Ann, what… what happened to you?” she stammered. “Why is your ear bleeding? Did I just…”

As Bella reached out to touch Ann’s left ear, Ann cried out even more loudly. Her heart-wrenching sobs filled the air.

“Mom, I can’t hear from my ear!” Ann cried out between sobs.

Tears streamed down Bella’s face as panic set in. “What?” she asked. “Really? Don’t scare me!”

Jun Chester’s cold voice rang out. “Bella, you evil woman! You are the most poisonous snake in this world!”

Only then did Bella notice that Jun Chester had already entered the courtyard. In an instant, she retreated in fear, her eyes filled with panic as she looked at him. After retreating a few meters, she suddenly came to her senses. She hurriedly crawled to Ann’s side and embraced her.

“Jun Chester, you can kill me, but I beg you, don’t kill Ann!” Bella’s voice carried a sobbing tone, but to Jun Chester’s ears, it was nothing but ridiculous.

Held tightly together, the mother and daughter trembled in fear.

Jun Chester sneered coldly. “Bella, stop the act!”

Overcome with terror, Bella even had some hallucinations, thinking Jun Chester was going to kill both her and Ann. She quickly let go of Ann, knelt on the ground, and repeatedly slapped her own face.

Smack!

Smack!

One after another, without showing any mercy.

“Jun Chester, I was wrong. I… I beg you. You can kill me, you can do anything to me, but please spare my daughter!” she pleaded. “I regret it so much!”

Jun Chester clenched his fists. He really wanted to smash this woman’s head with a single punch, but when he saw her face, he couldn’t help but think of Lyvia. They looked so much alike.

Suppressing his anger, Jun Chester quickly walked towards Ann, bent down, and picked her up. As he had suspected, Bella had damaged Ann’s left eardrum. Judging from the amount of blood, if Ann didn’t undergo surgery soon, she would suffer permanent deafness in her left ear.

Even if Ann was the daughter of Wilfrid and Bella, Jun Chester couldn’t have such ruthlessness.

Bella once again misunderstood Jun Chester’s intentions. She clung to his leg, sobbing uncontrollably. “Kill me!” she cried. “Ann is innocent. No matter what you want to do to me, please spare Ann! She is your…”

Before Bella could finish, Jun Chester stomped on the ground, and she was shaken off. Without any explanation, he quickly headed towards the medical room in Chester Fortress. It was like a small hospital, equipped with all sorts of medical instruments.

Ann also misunderstood Jun Chester, and her cries grew louder. Jun Chester took a thin golden needle from his wrist and put her to sleep. He then immediately examined her eardrum injury using an instrument. As he had expected, the damage was severe. If it wasn’t repaired in time, deafness was inevitable.

Next, Jun Chester carried Ann into the operating room, put on gloves, and began the surgery. He took a small piece of fascia from Ann’s temporal bone, cut it to the size of her eardrum wound, and precisely placed it against the wound.

In Jun Chester’s eyes, this kind of repair surgery was incredibly simple. But to Bella, who had followed him in, it was nothing short of a miracle. She had never expected Jun Chester to save her daughter in such a miraculous way!

At the same time, she realized that she had misunderstood Jun Chester. He was trying to save Ann, not harm her! At that moment, Bella’s heart jolted. Her deep-seated contempt and resentment towards Jun Chester almost faded away.

By then, Jun Chester had already inserted gauze into Ann’s left ear canal. Normally, it would take ten days for her to fully recover. However, after some hesitation, Jun Chester channeled a stream of energy into Ann’s body. He then inserted several silver needles into her to accelerate her recovery.

As Bella watched this scene from the doorway, it seemed to remind her of something. Tears fell from her cheeks.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Slowly, she knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly. Jun Chester removed the gloves from his hands, tossed them into the trash can, and turned to face Bella. His gaze was cold to the extreme, his tone icy.

“At this moment, you should have turned yourself in!” he said.

Bella’s face was ashen, but she still spoke up. “Your father’s death has nothing to do with me, and those antiques were stolen by Edric and Pete!”

Jun Chester snorted coldly. “Before I came here, I received a report that Wilfrid Chester’s death indeed had nothing to do with you. But you’d better admit your involvement in the loss of those national treasures! Without your support, what could Edric and Pete do? Would they dare to find that Branden to steal the treasures?”

“Earlier, you even asked that damn Branden to go to the hospital to steal that machine! Should we talk about that?”

Bella was left speechless. Jun Chester showed no signs of intention to let her off the hook.

“I’m giving you three days to list all the crimes you’ve committed over the past seven years and turn yourself in!” he warned. “Otherwise, I’ll personally send you in!”

“Don’t you love your daughter? Fine, no problem. If you turn yourself in, I’ll help raise her!”

Bella collapsed to the ground. What Jun Chester asked her to do was even worse than killing her. Then, without saying anything more, Jun Chester strode towards the exit.

But Bella suddenly called out to stop him. “Jun Chester, do you even have a conscience? If it weren’t for me secretly taking money from my family to support you back then, would you be where you are today?”
