Chapter 2102

“Doctor, my granddaughter’s awake! Please, come check on her!”

The sound of that unfamiliar voice left Stella utterly bewildered.

She couldn’t place her location, nor could she tell if what surrounded her was real or mere fragments of a dream.

Just moments ago, a woman had called her “granddaughter,” yet Stella knew she only had a grandfather-Clint.

It was only when the doctor entered to examine her that reality began to seep in.

After a brief check-up, the doctor announced, “Nothing serious.

Just make sure to rest well.

”

With a few more instructions, he departed.

Kyra, wrapping her arms gently around Stella, whispered, “My granddaughter, you’ve endured so much over these past years.

”

Stella froze, not daring to move.

She had never met this elderly woman before, and hearing her call her “granddaughter” again startled her.

In front of her, Bennett and an older man stood, which only deepened her confusion.

She parted her lips to speak, but her voice failed her.

Stepping closer, Bennett gently guided Kyra to the side, saying, “Stella has injuries and she’s been out for quite some time.

She probably needs a drink.

Let’s get her some water.

”

Kyra nodded in agreement.

“Right.

”

Excitement bubbling within her, she quickly stood up, ready to fetch water for Stella.

But Bennett had already procured a glass of water, which he passed to Kyra.

With a caring glance, she offered it to Stella.

Despite this being their first encounter, Stella could feel Kyra’s warmth and did not hesitate to accept the water.

After a few sips, her spirits lifted.

She offered a timid “thank you,” and then turned to Bennett with a puzzled look.

“Mr.

Lowell, what happened?”

Her gaze flitted between the two elderly people.

Bennett introduced them to Stella.

“These two are my grandparents, and yours as well.

”

The news hit Stella like a thunderbolt,.

leaving her staring at the elderly couple in utter astonishment.

It took her a while to process Bennett’s words.

Still puzzled, she asked, “So, my father is part of the Lowell family, but what happened to him?”

The room fell into a heavy silence as her question hung in the air.

Byron sighed deeply before speaking again, recounting the past.

“He disappeared.

He planned to bring you and your mother to Seamarsh to meet us, but there was an accident along the way.
