Ewan took a deep breath. âYouâre okay now. You fainted, and I brought you back. I hadnât expected that youâd become a target. Itâs my negligence.â
I sensed Ewan had more to say, but he didnât.
What had I done?
When I woke up, I noticed blood under my fingernails.
âWe should bring her for a checkâup at the hospital. Sheâs pregnant.â Zion and Rachel were concerned about me.
âI want to go find Steve,â I said quietly.
Rachel shook her head. âGo to the hospital first. Steven has search and rescue personnel looking for him. If you go, itâll only cause more trouble. Besides, youâre pregnant.â
My eyes went red. I had no choice but to enter the car.
âMr. Lincoln will be fine because youâre waiting for him,â Ewan suddenly said before I got into the car. He said Steven would be fine.
Tears instantly gathered in my eyes, and my heart ached terribly.
âDonât die.
âSteven, donât die.â I prayed to myself.
*These are all alive. This one still has a breath.â The police checked the yard. Those who came to kill me were all alive. I breathed a sigh of relief.
âStephie, donât be scared.â Rachel saw me shivering and hugged me.
I looked out blankly. Am I scared?
It didnât seem like it.
Except for worrying about Steven, I didnât seem to feel any other emotions.
âStephany!â
As soon as the car arrived at the hospital, I saw Michael.
He got out of the car and looked at me somewhat nervously, âI heard about Steven. Are you okay?â
He seemed worried about me.
I frowned instinctively and moved away from him. âItâs none of your business.â
âStephie,â he called my name nervously.
I ignored him.
But he seemed like a lingering ghost and kept following me.
Ewan went to find Steven, and Zion helped the police at the scene. Only Rachel stayed with me.
âCanât you have some dignity? Sheâs Stephany. Canât you just get lost?â Rachel scolded Michael.
âHow could you be so shameless? Stephie was so kind to you. She gave you all her goodwill. Was that how you should treat her?â
Michael seemed deaf to her words. He was probably used to Rachel scolding him.
He followed me around. He would accompany me to any tests I went for.
I was annoyed and told him to leave, but he refused.
âMichael, youâre really annoying.â I was getting angry.
âStephie, I went to the Lincolns to find you. Daxâs hand was injured, and Martin got into the car with a few bodyguards. The Lincolns said that when Steven had an accident, you returned to the Lincolns and stabbed Daxâs hand with a fruit knife and even almost killed Martin.â He seemed more convinced that I was Stephanie.
My body stiffened in shock as I looked at Michael. âWhat are you talking about?â
Michael looked at me with flickering eyes. He grabbed my wrist tightly as if excited. âDonât you remember what you did? The Lincolnsâ servants said that if you hadnât fainted suddenly, Martin would have been killed by you.â
I frowned. I didnât believe Michaelâs words. Still, he had no reason to lie.
Could it be that this was what Ewan wanted to tell me about?
I had a short memory loss after I found out about Stevenâs car accident. Was this what I had done?
How did I do it?
âStephie, donât listen to his nonsense. You canât even handle an apple with a knife.
teeth. Rachel came to her senses from shock.
However, soon Rachel fell silent.
This was because Zion sent her a video.
It was surveillance footage of Stevenâs villa.
In the footage, the dog rushed up and bit the person who wanted to kill me.
eâs lying through his I took the opportunity to pick up his dagger and fiercely stabbed his heart. I was fast, accurate, and ruthless.
My My actions were decisive, without a trace of hesitation. They were neat and clean.
At that moment, I began to doubt myself.
It seemed like Iâm a habitual offender.
!
æ Fortunately, this time I acted in selfâdefense.
Michael frowned. He was uninterested in arguing with Rachel. âCome with me. Iâll take you to see Peter.â
I shook off Michaelâs hand and looked at him warily.
Peter.
The name sounded familiar.
