She was very embarrassed. She turned around, turned her back to James Grayson, and murmured, "I... It seems that... It's bad food."
James Grayson put his arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. "Peter Maxwell put medicine in that juice."
Bella was surprised and turned to look at James Grayson.
His face was just in front of her.
When she turned her head, she accidentally touched his face. There was a flash of electric current on her lips, which made her scared.
She wanted to stabilize her mood as soon as possible, to not be swayed by these feelings. "Besides you, I and Tom Maxwell have drunk that. Tom Maxwell is Governor Maxwell's son. He cannot hurt his son."
James Grayson didn't speak and looked at Bella with burning eyes.
Bella determined the information from his firm eyes and guessed, "That man was sent by Peter Maxwell just now?"
James Grayson nodded, "he should be. He opened my door with the room card. I guess he wanted to take a picture of me and you but when he didn't see you. He lied that he came for the newspaper for an interview. I said I would call the police, and he ran and took out his gun to shot."
"Why did he do it? You and me..." Bella paused, she didn't say the sensitive words in the back. It seemed that if she would say those sensitive words, her heart would follow them. "What benefit he will get from it?"
"I had an accident before. Although I didn't publicize it in a big way, people with intentions still know it. Peter Maxwell thought there was treasure in the land I expropriated. In addition to it, I think he suspected that you came here for Gabriel Athens's case, maybe he thought that I came here to investigate him, so he had to drive me away.
As for you, because he thinks you are too smart, he wants to deal with it together.
He deliberately asked us at dinner if we had any boyfriend and girlfriend, just to make sure that his plan could be implemented. When he takes our photos, he can have our weakness, which will be dangerous to us and buy himself a guarantee." James Grayson analyzed.
Bella thought that James Grayson's analysis was correct, and congealed, "I'm afraid that the reason why Peter Maxwell wants to kill me is because he worries that I know that he hired the killer who killed Alicia Levy's family."
"You mean that Peter Maxwell killed the Alicia Levy family? Is there any evidence?"
"There's no evidence. It's all my speculation. Peter Maxwell asked the murderer to take a video deliberately, so as to not let the police suspect Tom Maxwell, but what he didn't expect was that Tom Maxwell will go to the scene and took that mobile phone.
The police arrested Tom Maxwell. Tom Maxwell said nothing. No video was found at the scene,
Peter Maxwell guessed that it was Tom Maxwell who took it. He knew Tom Maxwell, so he found Tom Maxwell's hidden mobile phone and saw the video. In order to not implicate his son, he sent others to kill the murderer, and wrote down all the criminal processes, so as to clear Tom Maxwell's suspicion." Bella said analytically.
"He can't be convicted without evidence, right?"
Bella thought about Richard Johnson and David Wilson.
They have done a lot of things wrong, and indeed, there is no retribution.
And she didn't do anything, but lived a miserable life.
Bella pushed away James Grayson hand that was on her waist. "I want to go back."
"Bella, are you still unwilling to be with me?" James Grayson fixed his eyes at her and asked in a deep voice.
Bella thought of what happened in the car before. Her face turned red. She lowered her head and said softly, "I didn't mean to do that in the car before, so forget it. You are getting married."
"Do you believe in such a lie?" James Grayson looked down at her and said.
Bella looked at James Grayson in surprise, "is it a lie?"
James Grayson rubbed her head gently, "because of me, David Wilson forces you too much. Only when I get married and alienate myself from you, you will able to breathe."
Bella understood.
He was doing it for her sake. The heart ached, the eyes were astringent, and there were a lot of words to say, but all choked in the throat.
He and she have no future.
"David Wilson and I are already boyfriend and girlfriend," Bella said cruelly.
"You have feelings for me, I know. Otherwise, you will not come to me as soon as I get hurt. And when you saw an assassin, you stand beside me without hesitation." James Grayson said definitely.
"You were injured because I have been a doctor before, so I came to you. When I meet an assassin, I stand on your side without hesitation because I think it's safe to be around you." Bella explained, but she didn't dare to look at James because she was lying.
"Since you think my side is safe, why can't you come to me?
Do you know how unsafe I feel now?
When I sleep, when I work and when I rest, I just think what you might be doing, what you and David Wilson might be doing! Every time, even with the thought, I feel difficult to breathe...
Bella, as you just said to me, I want you to stay with me forever.
No matter what wind and rain, it's good to be together. I don't care about fame, wealth and official post. I just care whether I'm with you." James Grayson confessed.
Bella shivered.
His last words to her were the deadliest.
She looked up into James Grayson's eyes, she saw pain and affection in his eyes.
She can give her body or her heart, but she can't give both.
Her life was in the hands of others.
One more day with herself will be like more pain for him.
"I'm sorry, James Grayson, thank you for still liking me so much, but I don't want to be with you. I'm afraid of trouble. I'm afraid of worries. When I encounter something that makes me upset or painful, my mental state becomes bad. When I was with you, I took psychoactive drugs and sleeping pills every day. I was about to collapse.
But after leaving you, my mood calmed down a lot, and I didn't need to take drugs and sleeping pills. I am selfish. Compared with being with you, what I want more is health." Bella's cold refusal.
"If I could make a peaceful sky for you?" James Grayson asked, while looking at her.
"You also say 'if', I can't wait for the peaceful sky to appear, but I advise you not to work hard. In fact, I haven't known you for a long time. Ten years of feelings are easy to forget, not to mention the ones we don't love deeply." Bella said coldly.
A word of refusal from her was enough to drive him into hell.
He felt he has been already in deep love with her.
He wanted to give up everything for her and take her abroad. He will not be a general, but an ordinary office worker. He will support her and their children.
He just wanted a peaceful life with her.
He held the back of her neck, put her forehead on her forehead. The tip of his nose touched the tip of her nose and said, "I won't give up on you in this life!"
