Chapter 1905

But Matthew sided with Stella.

“I agree with Stella.

Besides, if you were in Seamarsh, you could see her at any time.

Wouldn’t that be nice?”

Unmoved, Clint responded, “I’ve lived in Bysea for many years, accustomed to its ways.

I’m old, and the thought of starting anew elsewhere doesn’t appeal to me.

You should head home.

No more persuading, please.

”

After some contemplation, Stella decided it was time to share her news.

“Grandpa, I’ve found my mother,” she revealed.

Initially, Clint was taken aback by the announcement.

However, remembering previous disappointments involving Haley, his excitement quickly turned to skepticism.

“Is it truly her this time? Are you certain it’s not another mistake?”

“It’s real,” Stella affirmed, nodding confidently.

“A friend of Matthew’s conducted the DNA test personally.

The entire process was supervised meticulously.

There’s no mistake.

”

Clint sat in stunned silence, digesting the news.

“So, it’s really true this time?” he finally murmured.

Stella explained further, “We’ve known each other before, but there were some obstacles that stopped us from knowing the truth.

It was only a few days ago that our relationship was definitively confirmed.

”

As the weight of the moment settled, Stella’s voice softened, her gaze lowering.

“Even though I’ve confirmed her identity, I’m unsure how to approach her.

What if she doesn’t want to accept me as her daughter? Or worse, what if she doesn’t love me anymore? After all these years, I fear that any attempt to reconnect might destroy our relationship, possibly leaving it in a worse state than it is now.

”

Seeing the worry on Stella’s face, Clint sighed and reassured her, “Don’t overthink it.

How could a mother not love her child?”

Stella shook her head sadly, explaining, “It’s different now.

She… she lost some of her memory due to the car accident, including memories of me.

To her, I might be just a stranger, and she has a new family now.

It could really upset her if I suddenly reveal the truth.

”

Clint furrowed his brow, deep in thought.

Indeed, this was a complicated issue.

Seizing the moment, Stella implored, “Grandpa, I don’t know what to do.

I really need your help.

If you come with me, maybe you can help me reconnect with my mother.

”

Clint’s love for his granddaughter prevailed.

Moved by her plea, he finally conceded, “Alright, I’ll go to Seamarsh with you.

I hope it helps you reunite with your mother soon.

”

That day, after sorting out the discharge formalities, Stella, Matthew, Clint, and the butler headed back to Seamarsh.

Upon leaving the airport, Stella switched on her phone, and immediately, an alert for a breaking news report flashed up—a major traffic accident in Seamarsh.

At the same moment, Matthew’s phone rang.

Cordell’s voice, strained with urgency, came through.

“Something’s happened.

Bella’s been rushed to the hospital.

”

Stella’s eyes fell on the news.

It reported a tragic collision where a truck had struck a private car.

The accident was severe, resulting in three immediate fatalities and five injuries.

As she read, Stella frowned and sighed, her hand hovering over the screen to turn off the video.

Then, she spotted a familiar license plate.

It was Bella’s car!

Her heart sank, breath catching in her throat.

At that moment, Matthew hung up the phone, his expression grim.

“Bella was in a car accident and has been rushed to the hospital.

They’re trying to save her now.
