Chapter 301: He is still my husband
Bella darted up the steps, her feet barely touching the ground, and threw her arms around Jessica in a heartfelt embrace. The hug was warm, intense, and filled with emotion. When she finally pulled back, her eyes sparkled with unshed tears, and she studied Jessica carefully, as though seeing her for the first time.
"You actually healed him... just like you said you would," Bella whispered, her voice thick with emotion.
Jessica offered her a soft smile, but said nothing. There were times when words weren’t needed—this was one of them.
To Bella, it felt unreal. Jessica had always been a friend, but in moments like this, it seemed God had specially destined her to be part of their lives.
She had saved Davis once as a child, saved and harbored Bella during her accident and taken her in like family, and now, she had saved her brother’s legs. Her brother could walk again.
Bella was overwhelmed by the magnitude of it all, and yet, no words could fully express her gratitude.
She opened her mouth, then closed it again, lost in the enormity of what she felt.
"Stupid girl," Jessica teased with a small grin, lightly pinching her cheeks. "Is it worth shedding tears? Besides, shouldn’t you be congratulating him for being bold enough to receive treatment?"
Jessica’s tone was light, but her gaze shifted subtly to Davis, who stood behind them with a small, amused smile on his face.
"I know he did well," Bella admitted, swiping her eyes. "But if you weren’t there in the picture, he wouldn’t have?
Jessica raised a brow. "It’s okay. He’s still my husband, don’t forget."
