âWhy wonât you go in? Gwen has been making a fuss. Sheâs been asking to see you since last night.
Canât you just go in and see her for once? Please?â
Weston did not say anything. His face was so cold with no trace of warmth.
Chris saw his coldness and sighed. âAnyway, she was also a victimâ¦
âPlease. Iâm begging you. Youâre about to get married to Ella anyway. I know the past canât hold you back anymore, so just do me a favor and see her once, okay? She almost died yesterday...â
Weston suddenly gave him a somber look. It was as if he had read through all his thoughts.
Chris felt uncomfortable with Westonâs gaze. He croaked,â Anyway, we have been friends with their family for years... This time, she almost died.â
Weston remained silent. Chris saw his silence and said in pain,â I know youâre upset with me, but are you completely innocent?
âIf you hadnât been so cruel to Gwen back then, this may not have happened!â
âThis is the last time,â Weston cut him off. He did not want to hear Chris continuing his nonsense anymore.
âFrom now on, I wonât care about anything that has to do with them. If youâre concerned with them, thatâs your business.â After that, he walked past him and went into the mansion.
At the same time, in Rogerâs ward.
The medical officers had pushed Roger into the ward, but he was still unconscious. Stella stayed by his side and kept an eye on him.
Fortunately, he was not in a terrible condition. He was just too angry and had lost control of his emotions.
The doctor told her not to worry as he would wake up soon.
Stella saw his sleeping face and let out a sigh of relief.
âSis...â
When Roger finally woke up, he opened his eyes slowly and looked at her.
Stella immediately sat up straight. âYouâre awake. Are you still feeling unwell?â
Roger frowned and felt a little headache. âWhere am I..â
âYouâre in the hospital. You almost had a seizure just now.â
Roger shook his head at her words. Then, he suddenly remembered something and sat up sharply.
âWhereâs Weston ?â
Stella pressed his shoulder. âHe had something to do, so he went to deal with it.â
âSis... I was serious earlier! I donât want you to marry him!â
Roger held her hand tightly. âCan you leave with me? Come with me!â
Stella breathed a sigh. âLetâs not talk about this first. Tell me: How did you come back? Why canât we find your departure record?â
Roger stayed silent for a moment. After that, he said, âI saw our uncle.â
Stella paused for a moment and asked, âMichael?â
Her face sank. âWhat did he say to you?â
Roger fixed his gaze at her. All of sudden, waves of complicated emotions rushed to his heart.
He trembled a little. âSis, I know everything...â
âWhat do you know?â Stella looked at him with doubt.
âI know that weâre not bloodârelated...â Roger enunciated.
There was a long silence. It was so quiet that they could hear a pin drop.
After a long silence, Stella stood up suddenly with a grim look.â What are you talking about?!â
Roger took her hand and looked at her somberly. âUncle Michael told me that Iâm not Mom and Dadâs biological child... Is that true?â
âDonât listen to his nonsense!â
Stellaâs first reaction was to refute him. However, she was shaken by his words. âMichael has nothing to do with us anymore. Donât believe him!â
Even so, Stella and Roger had been siblings for years. Roger immediately understood what Stellaâs reaction meant. âWhat he said is true... isnât it?â
Stella was speechless and unable to say a word.
