Ch.2034 Chapter 2039 - When Love Comes Late

âUnderstoodâ, Matthew responded.

He quickly made arrangements for Bella to be picked up from the hospital.

The entire team left the courthouse together.

Stella and Matthew shared a ride.

After their courtroom encounter with Kristian, Stella felt as though a massive burden had been removed.

She was a bit tired.

She rested her head on Matthewâs shoulder and let out a relieved sigh.

âFinally, itâs over.

We can breathe easy now.

Stella preferred not to dwell on Kristianâs threats for now.

âYes, you can live a peaceful life now,â Matthew said, consoling her and gently rubbing her hand.

Then he added, âOh, and Elizabeth has been sent to a psychiatric hospital.

âReally?â Stella perked up from where she was leaning on his shoulder.

Matthew nodded slowly, maintaining his composure.

Stella looked concerned.

âIs this connected to you in any way?â

She recalled Elizabethâs extreme action with the sulfuric acid and Matthewâs somber face.

She feared he might have reacted impulsively.

Matthew shook his head decisively.

âI didnât do anything.

What happened with her has nothing to do with me.

Although he was furious at Elizabeth for her dangerous actions, he decided to adhere to legal procedures, considering Stella.

It was Elizabethâs own stubbornness that led to her mental breakdown.

Stella breathed a sigh of relief.

She nestled against Matthewâs shoulder and lamented about Elizabeth.

âI never thought she would turn out this way.

If she had just released her bitterness sooner, she would still be Bellaâs daughter.

My mom is so kind-hearted; she would eventually forgive her and love her as before.

Then, Stella looked at Matthew curiously and asked, âBut is Elizabeth really Bellaâs daughter?â

Matthew nodded.

âI had my suspicions, so after Elizabeth was arrested, I ordered a DNA test.

It confirmed it.

She is indeed Bella and Kristianâs daughter.

Stella felt a surge of sadness.

âSheâs so ruthless, even capable of harming her own mother.

âSome people are inherently selfish,â Matthew said.

Grasping Matthewâs hand firmly, Stella said, âJust thinking about Mom living with those two day after day chills me to the bone.

Fortunately, she was smart about her finances, which kept them at bay.

Otherwise, given their madness, I might have lost my mom forever.

Remembering Kristianâs menacing glare earlier, Stella shuddered.

Matthew embraced her, comforting her.

âItâs all behind us now.

With us by Bellaâs side, she has brighter days ahead
