Beyond the Divorce
The Baby Shower I locked eyes with Stella. âIf you donât want people to know what youâve done, itâs best not to provoke me.â
I walked out and addressed the doctor who had escorted me in. âSir, could you please take me back?â
He calmly nodded. âCertainly.â
I was worried that leaving the doctor there might put him in danger.
Back in the car, a wave of nervousness washed over me, causing my hands to tremble. I turned to the doctor and said, âIâm sorry for involving you. They wonât harm you, will they?â
âNo, it wonât be that serious,â he replied. Then he started driving.
âHow is his condition?â I asked the doctor, still feeling concerned.
âYou saw it yourself.â He glanced at me. âThe injuries to his limbs arenât too serious, but the head injury is severe.
âSo when do you think heâll wake up?â
His response was ambiguous. âThat depends on how he responds. It could be anytime.â
We reached the spot where we had switched cars earlier. The other car was still waiting. I thanked the doctor and returned to the car that had brought me there, and we parted ways.
In the car, I decided to call Nick. Then, I explained the situation to him with a heavy heart.
Nick fell silent, then said, âGo back and rest.
the âMr. Nick⦠Iâ¦â I struggled to express my remorse to him. Nick didnât say much and just hung up phone.
Even though I had finally seen Atlas, I didnât feel relieved. A sense of unease hung over me.
After my argument with Stella at the reception, I was convinced that Kennedyâs death had something to do with them. I wasnât afraid of Stella, but my biggest concern was Atlas. He was in a comatose state and defenseless.
The doctor had assured me that the people around Atlas were loyal, but I couldnât help but feel uneasy Atlas was unconscious right in front of them.
was too embarrassed to approach Nick after this incident. The only thing I could do was have Grayson Respir close eye on ATL Empire Surprisingly, I soon ran into Stella again, this time at Matthewâs party. I couldnât help but wonder why Stella was there. She and Matthew had no apparent connection. In private, though, I couldnât be so sure.
Matthew had been flaunting his project with a connection to Celine, so it wasnât unreasonable for Stella to attend the celebration.
Many influential people in the local construction industry came to the party. Matthew had made a big scene a few months ago during our anniversary celebration. Now, he was throwing a lively party for hist son with his mistress. He no longer cared about his reputation.
I was unsure what the guests were thinking, but I was sure most were there to watch. My presence made no difference, but I had no choice. Matthew had sent Johnson to pick me up.
He wanted me to bring Ava along so he could show off his perfect family. However, no matter how confused I was, I wouldnât bring my daughter along to such an event.
Besides, how would this drama play out?
