Bella's Gratitude

"Bryan, thank you. Thank you…" Bella said in a trembling voice, tears streaming down her face. After trying to calm her emotions, she continued, "I will never forget your sacrifice and bravery, Bryan. Tristan and I are forever grateful and in debt to you."

"Ma'am, please don't say that. You and Boss Tristan don't owe me anything. Protecting you with my life is my ultimate duty," Bryan replied awkwardly, concerned to see her cry.

"Still, Tristan and I are very grateful you didn't even think twice when you put your life in danger for me. Thank you so much, Bryan." Bella managed a smile through her tears. She would never forget everything Bryan had done for her; in her heart, she had already considered him her family member. 

Tristan, who saw his wife cry, put his hand on her waist and pulled her to stand close to her, afraid she might collapse again.
