Chapter 737

“Christopher! Seriously, now is not the time for jokes!” Bella exclaimed anxiously. Her voice was several octaves higher than normal. Christopher dared not tease her further. Enduring the intense pain, he softly said, “My arm and my back are both hurting a bit.” Before he could finish speaking, Bella’s movements froze as she palpated his broken arm. The feeling of the protruding bone sent a shiver through her. “Bella, it’s okay…” Christopher gently said as he gazed deeply at her. “Okay? Dude, your arm is broken!” Bella yelled at him, her eyes reddening. Despite being the one injured, Christopher was comforting her instead. It made her feel even more guilty. “Don’t worry. I’ll mend any bone you break. Even if you shattered every bone in your body, I’d piece them back together. I’ll take full responsibility for you!” Bella vowed. Full responsibility. Christopher felt a warmth spreading in his heart. No woman had ever boldly offered to take responsibility for him in all his life.
