Chapter 227
Jasper slammed his fist against the steering wheel furiously.
“That damn woman! Why does she always have to go against me?” Jasper shouted.
The thought of his son sitting in prison darkened Jasper’s expression even further.

“Argh!” Jasper roared. He could barely keep the household afloat, his wife barely spoke to him anymore, and his son was still locked up.
Everything in his life felt hopeless.
Jasper was frustrated and resentful, but there was nothing he could do. All he could do now was wait for Eliana to come up with a solution for him.
He watched as the cops started pulling up the surveillance footage around the area, then quickly drove away.
Serena and Miles were rushed to the hospital without delay and wheeled straight into the emergency room.
Dylan stared at the ER doors, and he couldn’t get Stella’s pale, unconscious face out of his mind and the way a single tear slipped from her eye as she fainted. Every detail shook him to the core.
His whole world felt heavy, like it was collapsing around him.
His heart thundered in his ears, and it felt like a boulder was pressing down on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
His hands trembled at his sides, cold sweat beading in his palms, and the air around him felt suffocating.
Anxiety and worry crashed over him like a tidal wave.
Chris came running up, gasping for air.
He pulled out his phone and called Lyra.
“Chris, what’s going on?” Lyra asked.
Chris said, “Lyra, Ms. Hale’s been hurt. She’s at the hospital. Can you head over and look after her? I’m heading back to the scene to check things out.”
Lyra shouted angrily, “How can you call this protecting Ms. Hale? Why do you keep letting her get hurt?”
Chris just fell silent.
Today’s accident had really caught him off guard.
They were on their way home then.
Out of nowhere, Ms. Hale decided to stop and buy a cake for Liam.
That little detour held them up.
It turned out the return route was the same road Dylan was taking.
That’s how they stumbled onto Dylan in trouble. Eliana didn’t even realize it was him at first. She just rushed over to help

“Lyra, you need to get here as soon as possible. I have a lot to investigate. I’ll send you the hospital address,” Chris said.
“Send it now! Where is Stella injured?” Lyra demanded.
“She has a wound on her arm. They’ll stitch it up here, and she’ll likely need an IV,” Chris replied.
“Got it,” Lyra said.
Chris hung up and called Gray.
“Gray, are you at the scene yet?” Chris asked.
“I’m already here. Guess who I just ran into?” Gray replied.
Chris frowned, glancing at Dylan beside him. “Let’s talk when I get there.”
Chris hung up and stayed put, waiting for Lyra to arrive.
Dylan heard him and asked, “Chris, are you heading back to the accident scene?”
Chris gave him an icy, ruthless stare. “Those people hurt Ms. Hale, so of course I’m going to investigate. If this turns out to be one of your schemes, you’re done for.”
Dylan frowned. “Why do you always think the worst of people? You really believe I’d risk my own life just to stage something like this?”
Chris snorted. “Oh, you never know. With only six months left to live, and for the sake of your precious Stella, you might just go to extremes. That’s why I have to get to the bottom of this.”
Dylan fell silent.
He couldn’t believe he was getting blamed for this.
‘Why does everyone always doubt me?‘ Dylan thought, bitterness welling up in his chest.
‘I’m done with Eliana. There’s no chance I’m getting back together with her,‘ he thought.
‘And I’m not doing anything for her ever again.
“I didn’t do it,” he said coldly.
He slumped against the wall, feeling a chill of loneliness seep into his bones. The dizziness from the crash still lingered, leaving him miserable, but what really tore him up inside was his worry for Stella.
The instant Stella passed out, fear and anxiety twisted inside him like a pitch–black vortex.
It pulled him down, deeper and deeper, into a bottomless abyss.
He was restless, his nerves stretched to the breaking point.
He could not even control his own thoughts, as anxiety threatened to swallow him whole.
Dylan looked as though he might collapse, all his usual strength drained from his posture, barely holding himself upright.
