The nurse pointed to the medical device and said, “Doctor, her heartbeat has resumed!”
Frederick Addington was so excited that he squeezed Stella Grace’s hand and pressed it hard against his lips. Warm tears streamed down the back of her hand.
“Stella, it’s so good that you’re alive. I’m so glad that you’re alive,” Frederick whispered to himself in a trembling voice,
gazing at Stella’s face with affection.
She was beautiful even when she was asleep.
She was so graceful, and she was one of a kind.
The burning pain in her wrist woke her up. She opened her eyes.
Her eyes were as calm as still water.
The first thing that caught her eye was the white ceiling.
There was the smell of disinfectant in her nose.
She instantly knew where she was.
She didn’t feel any pain when she was dying.
As soon as she woke up, not only did she feel distressed, her wrist hurt.
She once heard a saying, “The purpose of life is to pass through tribulation. If you make mistakes, you can repent. If you repent, you can get what you want.”
Perhaps she had committed too many sins in her previous life. Had she not atoned enough for the mistakes in this current life?
“Stella, you’re awake. Are you hungry? I’ll buy you your favorite vanilla cake and some stew,” Frederick said with a smile.
Stella looked at him with a calm gaze and said, “You… shouldn’t have sent me to the hospital.”
Frederick’s eyes turned red and he panicked.
He was afraid that she had made up her mind to kill herself.
The hospital could save those who were seriously ill, but they couldn’t save those who were determined to seek death.
“Have you forgotten your child?” Frederick asked.
“The person I desperately want to forget is myself,” Stella looked out of the window.
It was dark outside, nothing could be seen except for blackness.
“What if your child is suffering now? Don’t you want to save him?” he asked worriedly.
She remained expressionless.
He took a chair and moved closer to her bed. He was worried that he could not convince her.
“Stella, I promise you that I’ll help you find the child. I don’t need you to marry me, as long as you’re happy. I’m sincere. If I coerce you again, I won’t die peacefully.”
“Even with your ability, you have not found the child after all this time. Doesn’t that mean the child should be dead?” Stella reasoned.
“No, he’s not dead yet. I already have a clue. Those people came prepared when you gave birth in K City. I suspect Jasper is involved,” he said in a low voice.
“He doesn’t know that our child exists,” she said.
“According to my investigation, he was drugged by the terrorist organization.
When he escaped, he ran into you when you were also escaping. That’s when he forced you to have sex.
You both passed out.
It is important to know who took him away when he passed out.
“The man who took him away knew of your relationship with him. Was it possible that the man who took him has been keeping an eye on you?” he speculated.
Stella lowered her gaze, and her eyes were covered by her long eyelashes.
It turned out that Jasper was drugged when he raped her.
“If that man saved Jasper, he would treat the child well. Maybe it’s a good thing for the child not to know his mother,” Stella said lightly.
Frederick raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you want to see the child grow up?”
Stella gave him a small smile and met his gaze.
“Not everything can happen in the way that I wish.
Jasper lost his memory. No one knows who saved him.
Even if he knew, do you think his parents would give the child to me?
It’ll just break my heart once again,” she said calmly, as if she was not talking about her own business.
“I will help you get the child back,” he said sincerely.
“Help me? What do you want from me again?” Stella asked. She never believed what he promised.
“I don’t need anything from you. I love you. Stella, I really love you,” Frederick sobbed.
“Please go. I want to rest for a while.” She closed her eyes and shut out the world.
He didn’t dare to leave,
afraid that Stella would try to kill herself again as soon as he left.
He had someone buy the cake and stew for her.
However, she didn’t eat them.
He called Eli Wayne.
He hoped that she could convince Stella to stop thinking about killing herself.
Eli rushed over to the hospital when she heard of Stella’s attempted suicide.
She saw Stella lying in the hospital bed.
Her left wrist was tied with gauze and her right hand was connected to an IV drip.
Eli’s eyes turned red and tears began streaming down her cheeks.
“Stella, why are you doing this? What would I do if you died?” Eli cried as she walked in.
Stella opened her eyes and looked at Eli. Her gaze became much gentler.
The only person she could not leave alone easily was Eli.
“I’m sorry,” Stella said softly.
Eli cried and rested her head on the bed.
Frederick stepped out of the room, but he didn’t dare to leave. He leaned against the wall.
Felicia Chuck called him many times but he didn’t pick it up.
“Stella, you can’t just leave me like this,” Eli begged her. “You’re my best friend.”
Stella stared at her and wiped away her tears.
Eli, who was still crying, begged, “Please don’t do anything like this in the future, okay?”
Stella did not respond.
Eli held Stella’s cold hand.
Stella remained silent.
“Stella, you will have nothing if you die. It’s a dark world in hell. There’s nobody, no light, no water, no friends. It’s cold. Don’t die,” Eli cried.
Stella continued to stare at Eli.
“Why are you afraid of living if you’re not afraid of death? I’ll be destroyed if you die. You know I’m always careless and too straight-forward. No one wants to be friends with me. They all say that my EQ is too low and that they feel pressured when they befriend me. You’re the only friend I’ve got.” The more Eli talked, the more depressed she felt.
Stella hesitated. Finally, she caved. “Okay, I won’t kill myself,” she promised.
Eli hugged Stella. “I will be with you no matter what you do. I won’t let you feel lonely. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have let you go to the Sun City alone. I’ll go wherever you go in the future.”
“I want to go abroad,” Stella said.
Eli looked at Stella in surprise. “Where do you want to go?”
“To find the direction of life,” Stella said lightly.
Eli was worried. “You’re not going abroad to put yourself at risk, are you? It isn’t very safe in other countries.”
Stella shook her head and said, “I promised you that I wouldn’t kill myself. I do what I say.”
Eli was still worried but nodded. “I’ll go with you.”
Stella gave her a small smile and said, “With a mobile phone in hand, the entire world is connected. I want to travel alone.”
