Chapter 417

Chapter 417:

He counted the time in his heart. Within those 60 seconds, he moved away. Stella had never been in love since she was a child and had never even shaken hands with a boy.

At that moment, her first kiss—a deep and long kiss from a man who should have been her brother-in-law—left her feeling confused. That unreal sensation lasted until nighttime. When RK kissed her and then withdrew, he stretched out his finger and gently tapped her forehead.

“Stay focused,” he whispered in her ear.

Later, Stella didn’t even know how the wedding ended. She only knew she had been in a daze for the entire day, as if the wedding had nothing to do with her.

When she arrived at the RK Mansion, there was nothing for her to do. Time passed little by little. She sat by the bed and fell asleep a few times, but she had never been at ease. She was afraid that RK would come in at any moment. It wasn’t until he entered and spoke to her that she dared to lie down and sleep peacefully.

To be honest, RK was a very thoughtful person. He could tell that she was embarrassed, so he gave her enough space. When RK pushed the door open and came in, Stella felt very nervous. She looked at him without blinking, fearing he would come over and lie down beside her.

However, he didn’t. He simply greeted her, which could be regarded as a basic understanding of her situation, while also revealing her worries.

Stella was very grateful to him. He had shown her so much care and attention that she couldn’t ignore them even if she wanted to. RK had been taking good care of her for so long, and she appreciated him immensely. Perhaps she would never meet anyone kinder and more patient than him in her life.

After getting married, RK didn’t come home often. It was as if she had returned to her own home when she couldn’t see him. She felt carefree and got along very well with Mrs. Cassidy, which almost made RK lose his position as the head of the family.

In her spare time, Stella cleared a plot of land in the garden. Initially, she planted flowers, including wild roses, which grew along the fence. As the beautiful flowers bloomed, the RK Mansion became a princess’s castle.

Later, she planted sweet potatoes, carrots, and potatoes. After the harvest, all the vegetables on the dinner table were from her garden. She even claimed that the food was organic and pesticide-free, which resulted in the family eating carrots and potatoes for several days.

Now that Stella was back, she saw that the flowers and crops in the courtyard had not changed. The sweet potatoes, potatoes, and carrots were still there. Everything remained the same, as if she had returned to six years ago when she first entered the RK Mansion.

Everything was so beautiful and complete. It seemed they hadn’t lost the past six years at all.

Stella remembered everything very well. No matter how much time had passed, those memories remained clear in her mind. No matter when or how long it had been, although she wouldn’t easily think of them, it felt as though she had never forgotten.

Perhaps the older a person grew, the stranger their memory became. No matter how significant events were in her childhood, she couldn’t recall them. Yet as she grew up, she could remember everything.

The dream lasted for a long time, and Stella seemed to be trapped in it. It wasn’t until the phone rang that the sound woke her up. She answered the phone in a daze.

“Hello, are you Miss Stella Richard?”

“Yes, yes, I am Stella Richard. Who are you?” Stella was still dazed, her voice slow.

“We are calling from the hospital. Your grandmother, Madam Grace, suddenly fainted and has been sent to the emergency room.

The situation is not very optimistic. Please come here immediately.”

After hearing this, Stella fully woke up. “Oh, okay. Please do your best. We will be there right away.”

Stella hung up the phone, quickly got dressed, and knocked on RK’s door.

“What’s wrong?” RK looked sleepy.

“Grandma... she is seriously ill. She is in critical condition. We have to get to the hospital right away,” Stella said as she pushed RK. “Go get changed. I will wait for you downstairs.”

RK also immediately woke up. He hurried back to his room and got dressed. When he came downstairs, he took Stella to the hospital.

When they reached the emergency room, the lights were still on, so they could only sit outside and wait anxiously.

Since Stella was a child, her grandmother had told her that the most important thing in life was to be happy and free of worries. It was best to live a carefree life.

That was because on the day you died... there would be nothing left. Money couldn’t be taken with you, the house couldn’t be taken with you, and everything you once had couldn’t be taken with you. You could only take yourself away.
