He undid his top button, reached inside his collar, and removed the silver cross he had worn for years. “Give this to Justin when he wakes up.” Asher put the necklace in the palm of Bella’s hand and shut her fingers. “Ash, this is...” Her eyes widened in shock. “The necklace isn’t worth much, but it means a lot to me. I have worn it for more than a decade, and it has saved me from countless dangers and troubles.” Asher smiled wryly, his eyes burning intensely. “I can’t do much for Justin. It’s Justin’s fight now. I can only pray for him. I hope you don’t laugh at my attempt to reach out to God, Bella.” Bella sniffled and burst into tears again. She broke down and cried in Asher’s arms. “Thank you… Ash… Thank you…” “If you thank me one more time, I’ll be mad at you, silly girl.” Asher pouted dotingly. With her emotions getting the best of her, Bella wailed louder.
