Chapter 1913

A trace of uncertainty flickered across Kristian’s eyes as he spoke.

Bella and Stella fell into graveyard silence after hearing the outcome.

Kristian broke the silence and added, “Let’s all drop this conversation; the incident was just too complicated.

Finally, everything is back to the way it’s supposed to be.

Let’s all enjoy the peace that comes with it.

”

After saying that, he exhaled and asked Stella, “Do you understand my effort to protect your mother? Do you think I don’t want to take revenge? My only desire is to protect your mother.

Now that you’re here with us, I dare not jeopardize your safety.

”

Since he was being sincere, if others were persistent in inquiring more from him, it would seem unusual.

Stella nodded in agreement and said, “I know.

I won’t dwell on this matter again.

My biggest fear was me not being able to find my mother but now I’ve found her, my heart is filled with joy again.

”

Kristian wore a wide smile on his lips.

He turned and said to Matthew, “I’m glad Stella met such a young genius like yourself, Mr.

Clark.

I see you’re a reliable man.

Seeing that Stella is living a good life, I feel less guilty.

”

A lot of events had taken place in just two days, and Bella was still recovering.

After breakfast, she was completely exhausted.

Kristian looked at Bella’s feeble state and said to Stella, “You’ve been here for a long time.

Why don’t you go home and rest? Let me take over.

Now that your mother has woken up, I’ll stay here and take care of her.

”

Stella was still uncertain about it.

She didn’t want to leave her mother’s side.

She had just recently found her.

Kristian said, “I understand how excited you feel, but your health is far more important.

Moreover, we have plenty of time to spend with each other.

Just take care of yourself first.

”

Stella finally agreed.

Kristian let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank you for understanding and we’re sorry for all the pain you’ve suffered all these years.

Luckily, you have Mr.

Clark with you.

Otherwise, I won’t have peace within myself for the rest of my life.

”

He said quite a lot, and even apologized to Stella.

But she only Listened without any expression on her face; she wasn’t touched by it at all.

Looking at the dark circles around Stella’s eyes, Bella couldn’t help but convince her to go home.

“You’ve stayed for so long, so go home and freshen up.

There is still time to catch up.

If there is anything you’d like us to discuss, I’ll be here; just take your time.

I’ll have a meal with your grandpa, who raised you, when I leave the hospital.

”

Hearing her soft voice made Stella tear up, but she didn’t want Bella to find her reaction weird, so she forced herself to smile and nod.

Stella unwillingly left the hospital.

Bella reminded her about her grandfather.

Stella had been staying in the hospital after returning to Seamarsh; she should probably check up on Clint.

Back in the car with Matthew, Stella had her head down and she sat quietly with a gloomy expression on her face.

“Are you exhausted?” Matthew asked.

Stella joggled her head.

“Bella now knows you’re her daughter; are you not happy about this?”

Stella shook her head and refuted, “Of course I’m happy.

It all just happened so suddenly.

”

Matthew responded, “We’ve prepared and investigated this thoroughly.

It isn’t sudden at all.

”

Resting her head on Matthew’s shoulder, Stella confided, “Actually, everything feels so surreal right now.

I thought I’d cry, but instead, I was just overwhelmingly happy.

My emotions were so mixed, I couldn’t even cry.

It all felt Like a dream.

”
