Chapter 2031

While supporting Bennett, Stella glared at Elizabeth with anger burning in her eyes.

“No, Elizabeth! This is all your fault.

You brought this upon yourself.

”

That was all she said.

She had no more time to waste on Elizabeth.

She was more concerned about Bennett’s injuries.

His clothes were corroded, and his back was gruesome.

The fabric was stuck to his flesh and blood, looking terrifying.

It obviously needed immediate medical attention.

When Bennett saw the worry on her face, he said comfortingly, “Don’t worry about me.

I’ll be fine.

Just take care of yourself.

”

But Stella shook her head firmly.

“Don’t pretend to be strong.

You’re not okay.

”

Thankfully, they were at the entrance of the hospital.

Bennett’s injuries would soon be treated.

Matthew stepped forward and gently took Bennett from Stella’s arms.

“Let me help you.

”

Stella nodded in agreement.

When the medical staff was informed about the situation at the entrance, they hurriedly pushed a gurney out.

Bennett was immediately sent to the emergency room, and the doctors started treating his wounds.

Outside, Stella stood in a daze.

She felt like her brain was buzzing.

Matthew walked to her and asked, “Are you okay?”

He checked on her and was relieved that she was physically unharmed.

She was just shaken up.

He couldn’t help breathing a sigh of relief.

Matthew felt a little regretful.

If he had warned Stella about Elizabeth’s escape, she could have been more alert.

He said, “I’m sorry.

”

Then, he pulled her into his arms.

“I’m sorry I scared you.

”

He couldn’t imagine the consequences if that sulfuric acid was poured on Stella.

Stella shook her head and looked at him.

“Don’t blame yourself.

It’s not your fault.

No one wants this to happen.

But Mr.

Lowell…”

When Stella thought of the gruesome scene just now, she shivered uncontrollably.

She couldn’t imagine the agony Bennett felt after the sulfuric acid hit his skin.

And the scars it would leave were impossible to erase.

Elizabeth meant to disfigure her face.

However, Bennett took it for her without hesitation.

Stella was overwhelmed by guilt.

“If I had known earlier, I would’ve stayed away from him.

It would’ve been better than letting him suffer like this because of me.

”

Matthew hugged her tighter.

His eyes darkened as he said solemnly, “Don’t feel burdened.

I won’t forget Bennett’s sacrifice.

I will forever remember the favor he has done for you.

I’ll make sure to repay him.

”
