Chapter 166: Chapter 166

My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 166 The Last Words After sending everyone away, Joyce and the others started to tidy up the living room and kitchen. Cynthia put the babies to sleep. She patted Desmond’s soft body lovingly while Alston stared at her face without blinking.

The baby’s room was full of warmth and happiness. Mrs. Lewis came up to take care of the babies when Alston left the room while holding Cynthia. Suddenly, they saw Greg walking over in a panic.

“I have some bad news.” He hesitated, wondering if he should tell them about it.

Alston’s expression froze, “Greg, if you have anything to say, just say it!”

Greg had no choice but to say with a complex expression, “I just received the news that Mrs... Ms. Brooks was found fainted by the side of the road and sent to the hospital. She overdosed. Although she was rescued in time, I am afraid she will die any time.”

Alston’s pupils trembled for a moment and soon calmed down. Cynthia’s face was full of surprise.

She subconsciously exclaimed. “How could that be!”

“Didn’t I find a drug rehabilitation center for her before?” Alston asked sternly.

Clare wanted to ruin Alston’s reputation, so he put drugs in Stella’s food. He deliberately made her look haggard and pitiful and wanted to blame Alson for abusing his mother.

After the matter was resolved, Stella was off her head at the press conference. After she sobered, Alston directly sent her to rehab. He hadn’t heard from Stella for a long time and thought she had quitted successfully. How did she overdose and faint on the side of the road?

Greg sighed. “Mr. Smith, let me explain. Halfway through the rehab, Stella couldn’t bear the pain and ran away. The people you hired couldn’t find her after searching for several days. They feared you would get angry, so they didn’t tell us. They knew that you and Brooks had no relationship anymore, so they dared to conceal the truth for so many days.”

Intense anger flashed in Alston’s deep eyes. “D*mn it!”

Greg said, “Ms. Brooks is awake now and wants to see you. Do you want to go...”

Alston nodded. “Prepare the car!”

Then, he was about to change clothes and go out. Cynthia grabbed his arm. “I’ll go with you!”

Alston glanced at her softly. “No, I’ll go alone. If she sees you and gets in a bad mood, she will hurt you.”

Greg interjected, “Ms. Brooks is now too weak to move!”

After hearing this, Cynthia looked up at Alston with her eyes full of pleas.

“Okay!” Alston agreed. “Stay behind me later.”

Cynthia nodded quickly, and went to the cloakroom with Alston to change.

Suddenly, Greg’s cell phone rang, and he walked aside to pick it up. “Hello!”

The caller said something, and a trace of dissatisfaction flashed across Greg’s face. “No. Mr. Smith has agreed to see her, and she can’t ask for more... His children are still sleeping. He will not agree!”

The caller said something more. Greg’s mood eased; he frowned tightly and was very distressed.

Alston and Cynthia came out and saw Greg’s hesitant expression. “What happened?”

Chapter 166 The Last Words 1/3 CHT BONUS “Mr. Smith!” Greg, said with a complicated expression. “Ms. Brooks learned your children turned a month old today, and she wants to meet them!”

“No!”

Alston looked cold and refused without hesitation.

His reaction was as expected. Greg sighed. “I answered the same to the hospital, but they said Ms. Brooks insisted on seeing them. She would see the children personally even if she had to crawl back to the Smith family.”

Alston’s frown deepened, and his eyes were full of impatience. “Has she forgotten what she had done? She drugged Cynthia, made a big fuss in the hospital, and almost killed the babies. How could she even dare to ask? She would probably hurt them.

No, I can’t let her see them.”

Cynthia pursed her lips and lowered her head to think. She did hate Stella for many things, but now Stella was dying. Therefore, Cynthia decided to fulfill her wishes as much as possible.

“Alston!” She raised her head and shook Alston’s arm. “After all, she is the children’s grandma, so let her take a look. Mrs. Lewis, Greg, and I will take precautions to prevent her from hurting the baby.”

After being persuaded repeatedly by Cynthia and Greg, Alston finally reluctantly agreed. He asked Greg and Mrs. Lewis to hold the children and get into the car together.

Alston suddenly stopped when they arrived at the door of Stella’s ward and froze for a long time.

Cynthia held his hand and found his palms were covered with sweat. She looked up in surprise, and then she noticed his red eyes and his trembling arms. She quickly grabbed his hand with both of hers.

“Alston, I’m here with you.”

Her voice was soft and warm, but it gave him countless strengths. Alston held her fingers tightly and finally pushed open the door.

Stella leaned on the hospital bed sleepily. She closed her eyes, looking tired and haggard. Her face was sallow and thin, and her dark circles were huge. She looked thinner than before at the press conference, and she seemed like a mummy who was still breathing weakly.

Cynthia felt horrified. Drugs were so terrible that they could torture such a living person into this monster.

If it weren’t for her somewhat familiar face, she would never recognize that this woman was her domineering mother–in–law who always made things difficult for her.

After Alston entered the ward, he asked Cynthia to take Desmond from Greg’s arms and let her stand at the back with Mrs.

Lewis, who was holding Keller.

Greg went forward to wake Stella up.

Stella closed her eyes and was in a trance when she suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing, footsteps, and... Greg calling her.

She tried hard to open her eyes but found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t wake up. Suddenly someone pushed her, and she could finally open her eyes.

She saw Greg’s serious and cautious face, yet this face was not young anymore. She suddenly remembered when she married into the Smith family. At that time, Greg was much younger than now, and there were few wrinkles on his face. He always followed Bryan and never showed a trace of disgust in front of her, even though he hated her a lot.

“Greg...” She called out weakly, and her lips turned pale.

Chapter 166 The Last Words 2/3 “Mr. Smith is here to see you!” Greg took a step back Alston was standing behind him.

Stella looked agitated. She looked at Alston while trying to support herself. Because she was too excited, she coughed a few times violently as if she was dying.

“Alston, you’re here!” Her face was full of surprises. She wanted to pull Alston, but the distance between them was too tar. She couldn’t reach him, and her hand stopped in mid air embarrassedly.

Alston stood still expressionlessly. He did not take a step forward, and he was full of alienation.

Stella withdrew her hand, forced a smile, and touched her dry and gray hair. “I... I didn’t clean myself up. I won’t touch you, or your clothes might get dirty!”

Alston frowned but said nothing. He just asked coldly, “They said you want to see me. What do you want to tell me? I won’t take you to the Brooks family!”

Stella paused. She lowered her hands and looked flustered, and then she quickly explained, “I, I didn’t mean that; I just wanted to see you.”

She continued as her voice gradually weakened, “You are my only son. I know I won’t live long, so I want to see you before I die.”

Alston’s expression was full of suspicion. She had done too many bad things before and had never cared about Alston since she was a child. When Alston grew up, she even joined forces with Clare to target and frame him.

Stella had never been a loving mother, and Alston had every right to doubt her words.

Stella noticed Alston’s suspicion. She leaned heavily on the pillow because she couldn’t support herself. Then, she said dejectedly, “I know I’m not worthy. When you were young, I suspected that your father didn’t love me and he was with other women. Whenever I got angry, I would vent my anger on you. I used to scold you and even beat you...”

Stella thought of Alston when she was a child. He was so tiny and didn’t even beg for mercy whenever he was beaten up. His stubborn appearance was exactly like his father’s. The more he acted like this, the angrier Stella became. And his body was always bruised.

Alston had countless opportunities to tell Bryan, but he didn’t say anything. Bryan knew nothing about it until Rosalia Brooks discovered Alston’s bruises.

If Stella were in the past, she would definitely hate Alston and think he let Rosalia discover his bruises on purpose. But after she left the Smith family and experienced almost everything, she started to think more about the past. It turned. out that Alston had longed for her to love him when he was a child.

She had always complained that Alston was cold–blooded and not close to her at all. She thought Clare was kind to her. But after she was kicked out of the Smith family, Clare considered her a stumbling rock and wanted to get rid of her. And at last, he even drugged her to use her.

As for Alston, even if their relationship were broken, he would send her money every month. She helped Clare to frame him, but Alston still sent her to rehab to cure her addiction.

As a son, he was benevolent and righteous. But she hadn’t done anything, not even the most basic love of a mother.

“Alston, I’m sorry. I’m so sorry!”
