The air in the study went sitent
Summer stared at Stella, suffocating under the weight of her words. Her face turned as pale as paper, and she shook her head
“No, I…”
“Don’t rush to deny it. Whether you did it or not, you know the truth better than anyone, don’t you?”
Summer went silent.
Yes.
She had killed Stella’s child.
She had known Stella was pregnant.
Whether it was the first child or the second, she had known.
She was the one who had caused their deaths.
Seeing Summer fall silent, Stella let out another cold laugh.
“You killed my child, yet you want me to save yours. Do I look like a saint to you?”
Summer said nothing.
Every word Stella spoke felt like a sharp blade, cutting straight into her heart.
Evan knew Stella was in the study, so he had come looking for her too.
At that moment, he was standing at the door.
When he heard that Stella also knew Jane Gass, he was shocked.
But the conversation that followed made his expression grow colder and colder.
And that was not all.
Then he heard Summer say in a suffocated voice, “I was wrong. I’ll apologize to you. Please bring Dr. Gass here, okay? Please ask Dr. Gass to come to Harbor City!”
At this moment, Summer had completely admitted defeat.
She knew that Stella was being so ruthless to all of them this time because Stella knew what they had done to her before
Denying it meant nothing.
Refusing to admit it was useless too.
Outside the door, Evan heard Summer’s words. They were almost no different from a confession
His hands clenched into fists at once.
His face seemed to be covered in frost.
Stella said, “You were wrong? You’re apologizing? That only makes it even more ridiculous. What are you, a three-year-old?”
Did doing something wrong become fine as long as someone apologized?
Since when had hurting someone become so cheap that a single apology could settle it?
If that was frue, then the cost of doing evil was far too low
Summer asked, “Then what do you want?”
Stella said, “You’re asking me?”,
“You’re the child’s aunt by marriage. You can’Lignore him!”
At this moment, clinging to family ties seemed to be the only method Summer had left.
In her eyes, Stella and Evan had not divorced yet, so Stella was still the child’s aunt by marriage.
“You and the child are both part of the Wright family. As a member of the Wright family, how caft you just watch another Wright family member die?”
Summer cried as she spoke.
She had already lost one daughter.
She did not want to lose this son too.
Although things were difficult now, she knew that if the child was gone, she would truly have nothing left.
As long as the child was still alive, once this crisis passed, he would still be her support, whether with the Wright family or the Holland family.
So no matter what, that child had to live.
Stella laughed softly.
“I’m the child’s aunt by marriage?”
“What do you mean?”
Hearing the mockery in Stella’s voice, Summer’s face tightened.
Stella asked, “Are you sure that child belongs to you and Steven? Or does he belong to Frank?”
Summer froze.
Outside the door, Evan froze too.
The moment Stella said that, both of their faces changed at the same time.
The veins at Evan’s temples began to throb.
Inside the room, Summer’s breathing seemed to stop altogether.
She stared at Stella in disbelief.
The panic in her eyes slowly turned solid.
Stella said, “If that child is Steven’s blood, I’ll acknowledge him.”
After all, when Steven was alive, he had treated her, his sister in law, fairly well.
Several times when Dora had made things difficult for her, Steven had stepped in to help her out.
There had even been a few times when she had heard him criticizing Dora in private.
