My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 167 Atonement
When Stella said this in a hoarse voice, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Her teary eyes were full of remorse and guilt.
After so many years, she finally apologized to her son.
But there was no emotion on Alston’s face. It had been so many years, and an apology wouldn’t change anything because he had already put everything aside. But the harm Stella had done to him would never be erased.
Stella kept crying in the quiet room. After a long time, she calmed down and wiped away her tears.
“Alston, I know you won’t forgive me, and I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I’m not worthy of being a mother. I’m content to see you before I die.”
Stella smiled without the slightest meanness on her face.
After a full minute, Alston spoke in a low voice, “I sent you to rehab. Why did you run away?”
If she hadn’t escaped, she might have successfully quit. She wouldn’t have become like this, and her life would have
been saved.
“Alston, it’s too painful!” Stella smiled wryly. “I tried it, but I wanted to die countless times. When the drug addiction kicked in, I could only be suppressed forcibly. They tied me to the bedpost, let me bite the towel, and held on. The pain was endless and hopeless. I really couldn’t hold on anymore…”
Stella kept repeating while covering her face. Tears couldn’t stop streaming down again.
Those people were all strangers. She had no relatives or friends around her, and she could only get through it alone.
She had never suffered like this since she was a child, so she didn’t hold on. At that time, she only wanted to escape. After she ran, she hid somewhere and bought drugs with the living expenses that Alston gave her. At last, she overdosed and fell on the side of the road.
“I regret it, I really regret it…” Stella muttered.
She had too many regrets.
She cried so loudly that she woke up the sleeping babies. Keller babbled, and her soft sound directly stopped Stella’s
crying.
Mrs. Lewis was afraid that Keller would cry, so she hugged her and coaxed her for a while. Keller didn’t cry and looked around the strange environment in curiosity, which seemed smart and cute.
Desmond also woke up and rolled his eyes lazily in silence. His white and tender face was very similar to Alston’s, and he rubbed in Cynthia’s arms lazily when he smelled her.
Stella was stunned by the movement of the two little guys. She couldn’t believe it until she realized that Cynthia and Mrs. Lewis were standing behind holding the baby. She kept talking to Alston just now, so she hadn’t noticed them.
“Alston, you brought the babies here!” She became even more excited and stretched out her hand to Cynthia. “Come
here! Let me hug them!”
Cynthia glanced at Alston, saw him nodding, and walked to the bed with Mrs. Lewis.
Stella looked at the cute baby in their arms. Her eyes were red, and she was very excited. These were her grandchildren.
She had done so many bad things before and almost killed them.
The two babies had never seen Stella before, so they looked at her curiously. They were not frightened by her frightening appearance, and Keller even babbled to her.

The soft voice made Stella burst into tears, “These two children are wonderful. Unfortunately, I have no chance to see
you grow up.”
