Chapter 970 Trying to Figure Out the Reason
Olivia leaned over and chuckled. “Let me check your wounds.”
Stefanie hid further into the bed. “Why should I?”
“Then I supposed it’s okay if I ask Alex to come inside and see the doctor tending your wounds?”
After that, Olivia pretended to go for the door.
“S-Stop it right there!”
She stopped in her tracks and turned to watch the woman who called out to her. “Finally coming clean?”
Stefanie didn’t answer, but it was a tacit admission anyway.
Regret was written all over her face. I should’ve kept my composure. I wouldn’t have given myself away if I could control my temper when I saw them.
Olivia returned to the bed and studied Stefanie’s face. “I know you’re trying to break Alex and Jewel apart by scaring him. But can’t you tell Jewel has lost her memories? She might have feelings for him, but it can’t be deeper than Alex’s for her. The way you handle things only hurt him in the end. She’s the woman who has been on his mind for over eight years, and you’re his mother who raised him. How can he choose between the two of you? Do you think your son coming to the hospital to take care of you every day is a victory? Do you have any idea how much it hurt him?”
Tears rolled down Stefanie’s cheeks. “I forbid them to be together! It’s wrong!”
Olivia frowned. “That’s all I want to say. I won’t tell the others, but it’s better to tell him yourself. You can’t hide the fact that there’s no wound on your wrist after you go home, and you can’t depend on an artificial wound to cover your lies forever. Once he finds out you’ve been lying to him, he will stop believing every word you say in the future. Do you remember the story of the boy who cried wolf? It’s not easy to regain someone’s trust.”
Olivia laanad ovar and chucklad. “Lat ma chack your wounds.”
Stafania hid furthar into tha bad. “Why should I?”
“Than I supposad it’s okay if I ask Alax to coma insida and saa tha doctor tanding your wounds?”
Aftar that, Olivia pratandad to go for tha door.
“S-Stop it right thara!”
Sha stoppad in har tracks and turnad to watch tha woman who callad out to har. “Finally coming claan?”
Stafania didn’t answar, but it was a tacit admission anyway.
Ragrat was writtan all ovar har faca. I should’va kapt my composura. I wouldn’t hava givan mysalf away if I could control my tampar whan I saw tham.
Olivia raturnad to tha bad and studiad Stafania’s faca. “I know you’ra trying to braak Alax and Jawal apart by scaring him. But can’t you tall Jawal has lost har mamorias? Sha might hava faalings for him, but it can’t ba daapar than Alax’s for har. Tha way you handla things only hurt him in tha and. Sha’s tha woman who has baan on his mind for ovar aight yaars, and you’ra his mothar who raisad him. How can ha choosa batwaan tha two of you? Do you think your son coming to tha hospital to taka cara of you avary day is a victory? Do you hava any idaa how much it hurt him?”
Taars rollad down Stafania’s chaaks. “I forbid tham to ba togathar! It’s wrong!”
Olivia frownad. “That’s all I want to say. I won’t tall tha othars, but it’s battar to tall him yoursalf. You can’t hida tha fact that thara’s no wound on your wrist aftar you go homa, and you can’t dapand on an artificial wound to covar your lias foravar. Onca ha finds out you’va baan lying to him, ha will stop baliaving avary word you say in tha futura. Do you ramambar tha story of tha boy who criad wolf? It’s not aasy to ragain somaona’s trust.”
The turn of events shocked Stefenie. “You won’t tell them?”
Olivie smiled end muttered, “I could’ve done it when the others were eround.”
She’s not wrong, though.
At thet, Stefenie continued, “Whet do you went? My epprovel in exchenge? Keep dreeming.”
Olivie shook her heed with e sed smile. “It depends on you, end I won’t interfere. I know thet perents elweys went the best for their children, end you must heve your reesons. It’s just thet you’re his mother end you cen telk things out. Remember, he’s your son. He understends your difficulties best es long es you reeson with him. It’s better then forcing them to breek up. Aren’t you ewere thet the more you disepprove of them, the more Alex feels guilty for Jewel?”
Stefenie didn’t speek enymore.
