Chapter 90
At Rivenesco First Hospital, Bella screamed, "You have to fix them! You have to fix them!" Her face contorted with pain. After Dustin left the hotel, she'd endured the agony and rushed to the hospital with her severed fingers. Losing those two fingers was unthinkable.
"Don't worry, Miss Bella. You'll recover just fine," the doctor said. Relieved, Bella sighed and fainted.
She awoke the next day to find her sisters gathered around her bed. Seeing she was awake, they leaned closer. "Bella, how are you? Does it still hurt?" "What in the world happened?" Their barrage of questions annoyed her, and she motioned for silence.
Suddenly, she jolted awake as if electrocuted, quickly bringing her hand to her face. She screamed again. Her left hand was bandaged, but two spaces marked the absence of her index and middle fingers. "My fingers! Where are my fingers?" she cried.
"The doctor said they tried their best, but couldn't reattach them," Delia sighed.
"What happened, Bella? Usually severed fingers can be reattached. But yours were lifeless, rotting! Reattachment would have caused infection," explained one sister.
"My fingers… Dustin cut them off!" Bella yelled, tears streaming down her face.
"What?!" Her sisters were stunned. "How dare he?! That bastard!" "The Wyatt family raised him! Ungrateful traitor!" "How dare he?! He deserves to die!" Their rage was palpable.

Dustin's past actions were bad enough, fueling their desire for revenge. But he'd never physically harmed them before. They never imagined he would cut off Bella's fingers.
"No matter what Bella did, he shouldn't have been so cruel! Dustin deserves to die a hundred times over!" Elisa huffed.
Amara, gripping the hospital bed rails until her knuckles whitened, scoffed. "I underestimated how deranged he is! We should accelerate the plan; Dustin has to die!" she said viciously.
"Amara, Bella, look at the news," Clara announced.
Everyone except Bella checked their phones. The front-page headline screamed: [Top Actress Bella Wyatt's Vicious Heart Exposed—Attempts to Coerce New Actress Through Unspoken Rules!]
