Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja) novel Chapter 2112

Having a baby must be incredibly painful, right? When Maja had her twins, she nearly lost her life.

And then there was Zoey March. She didn't survive Nolan Haskins' birth.

What about Stella? Was she in a lot of pain too?

This place is so underdeveloped when it comes to healthcare. I bet there wasn't even a doctor around at the time.

Stella didn't say a word. Her head hung low, tears streaming down her face.

She had waited so long for Beck to ask her this question. She thought he never would.

She wanted to tell him it was excruciating. After the birth, the sheets were soaked with blood. She couldn't hear the baby's cry and panicked, not caring about her own disheveled state, rushing to check on the child.

But the baby lay there, utterly still, without a sound.

Then she started crying, feeling like it was all her own doing, her own punishment.

"Stella."

Beck called her name again, suddenly pulling her into a close embrace.

The tears Stella had been holding back fell even more freely.

Dave had once asked if she regretted anything. She said no, it was fate.

But seeing Beck here, she truly felt regret.

She and Beck came from different worlds, and it was her own stubbornness that had brought her here.

Otherwise, why would someone as privileged as Beck come to such a barren place?

Beck held her for a long time, only speaking when his arms grew tired.

"This time, I'm not leaving. I want to stay here with you."

Stella thought she must be hearing things. How could he stay in a place like this?

"Beck, you should go."

"Unless you come with me, I'm not going anywhere."

Stella fell silent. She didn't want to leave. The Moore family was still searching for her.

Even though Beck said the Moore family issues were resolved, their influence was vast. If she returned to North America, they'd surely find out. How had Beck handled it? Had he faked her death?

If that's the case, she couldn't possibly go back.

Beck pulled her into another embrace, his voice hoarse.

"Stella, please come back with me. I'll protect you. I won't let you be taken away again. Trust me."
