Chapter 977
When Love Comes Late
âI saw the online video of that car wreck.
The car Stella was in was completely wrecked.
I need to hear her voice to ease my mind.
â
Patiently, Matthew explained, âStella is resting.
Iâll have her call you when she wakes up.
â
After a pause, he changed the subject.
âBy the way, was there a car accident in Stellaâs past before you adopted her?â
Clint fell unexpectedly silent at this question.
His silence confirmed some of Matthewâs suspicions.
âThe video of Stellaâs car accident twenty years ago has surfaced.
It has been confirmed the family of three in the video were Stella and her parents.
â
After a prolonged silence, Clint sighed.
âItâs time to disclose the truth.
â
Matthew didnât respond, waiting quietly.
âIn reality, Stella wasnât abandoned at the orphanage.
Her mother entrusted her to me.
â
âDo you recall what her mother looked like?â
Clint sighed.
âI canât remember, but I believe sheâs still alive.
â
After the call, Matthew lingered in the corridor before returning to the ward.
Stella had awoken.
She sat on the bed, fixated on a photo of herself and Farris from their younger days.
Putting his phone away, Matthew closed the door and approached her slowly.
He embraced her, planting a gentle ki*s on her forehead.
âYour grandpa called just now, worried about you.
I assured him youâre fine.
You need to stay strong too.
â
Stellaâs eyes remained fixed on the photo.
Trying to contain her sorrow, she croaked, âWhy is life so unpredictable?â
Wasnât this the very thing Farris wanted to convey before the accident?
He had the chance to disclose in person that he was Calan.
