The nurse pointed to the medical device and said, "Doctor, her heartbeat has resumed!" Frederick Addington was so excited that he squeezed Stella Grace's hand and pressed it hard against his lips. Warm tears streamed down the back of her hand. "Stella, it's so good that you're alive. I'm so glad that you're alive," Frederick whispered to himself in a trembling voice, gazing at Stella's face with affection. She was beautiful even when she was asleep. She was so graceful, and she was one of a kind. The burning pain in her wrist woke her up. She opened her eyes. Her eyes were as calm as still water. The first thing that caught her eye was the white ceiling. There was the smell of disinfectant in her nose. She instantly knew where she was. She didn't feel any pain when she was dying. As soon as she woke up, not only did she feel distressed, her wrist hurt. She once heard a saying, "The purpose of life is to pass
There was a saying that time is the best medicine. How long must one take to forget pain? How long must one take to forget someone? Which is the right path for her to take? A person had to experience various jobs in order to find the most suitable one. Stella Grace wanted to go abroad to study psychology. She knew that she was sick, that she was not mentally well. She could not rely on others. She wanted to be independent and save herself. But to do this, she required a huge amount of money. Moreover it was not easy to enroll in a university she wanted. Psychology in the United States was way more advanced than A Country. Numerous mental health clinics were built there for the past 20 years. Seeing a psychiatrist was just as common as visiting a general practitioner there. After she was discharged from the hospital, she made a phone call to Greg Miles. She told him her plans. She needed his help to arrange things.
It felt like forever since they last saw each other. The flight attendant repeated the announcement but no doctors came forth. Elsa Milton became even more anxious. Stella Grace squatted in front of the pregnant woman and asked, "Do you remember when was the last time you did an ultrasound?" Jasper Milton looked at her in surprise. "Is it really you?" Stella looked at him, "I was an obstetrician in A City four years ago. Don't worry, I will make sure both the mother and the baby will be safe." Stella directed her words at Elsa to calm her down. This was to ensure the delivery to go smoother. Sure enough, Elsa slowly calmed down. "I did an ultrasound a week ago. The fetus looked fine, and its position was appropriate for delivery. The umbilical cord was not wrapped around the fetus. The doctor suggested I go for natural birth," Elsa said. "Is this your first or second delivery?" she asked calmly. "It's my sister's first time gi
Jasper Milton realized what he had done and pulled his hands back. This brought back memories of alienation and conceit, and with them the forgotten bitterness and cold. "There is one thing that I haven't figured out. I hope you can tell me the truth," Jasper asked seriously. Stella Grace smiled tightly, "I read a book once. Apparently in our whole lifetime, we would have done three things we regretted, and three things that we are proud of. Learn to let go and stop being so stubborn. I have to go and check on your sister now. She just gave birth to a baby, I need to examine her properly." Stella turned around. "Am I the reason you left the Inspection Institute and Sun City?" Jasper asked. Stella stopped and turned back towards him, her eyes full of confidence and maturity. "I left because I wanted to be responsible for myself. It had nothing to do with anyone. Stop worrying about it, Chief." Jasper's gaze darkened. Stella entered the pri
The old Stella Grace would have been intimidated. Jasper Milton scrutinized her with an intense gaze. She remained calm. She asked with a smile, "You are troubled by the thought, aren't you?" Jasper tried to discern her reaction. It was in vain. She just smiled winsomely, as if it didn't matter to her. Jasper held her gaze. "Is it true?" "The past is in the past. You don't have to care about it so much. It is meaningless to know whether we have loved each other in the past. Perhaps, I was the only one who was in love? As time goes by, any impetuous thoughts should stay in that impetuous past," Stella said jokingly. "Stop talking nonsense. I only want to know if we dated before?" Jasper said in a serious tone. Stella paused for a moment and answered, "No, we didn't." Jasper glared at her. "Is it fun to talk so much nonsense? Do you think I have time t
"Haha." Stella Grace chuckled. "I don't think I'm interested." Greg Miles was stunned. Stella's smile brightened. "I was just joking. I remember my promise to you." "You've become quite mischievous. I'm so glad to see you in such high spirits," Greg said in a gentle tone. Stella did not respond to him, and she pressed the 'down' button for the elevator. "I was worried when I heard your university offered you a job as a professor, and that even FBI invited you to join them. The cases you participated in were very famous, so I thought you may not want to come back," Greg said. "Since I'd already promised you, of course I have to come back. But I have something to discuss with you. I can work for you but I want to open my own mental health clinic. What do you think? " Stella offered, not assertively. "Sure. I wasn't able to help you a lot financially then, and I didn't think you'd be so g
Stella Grace closed her notebook. "Do you have any clues?" At the same time, the waiter served the dishes. "Would I be seeking help from my senior if I did? I am so lost now. The worse thing is that General Jacob set a deadline. How am I supposed to solve this case?" Greg lamented hopelessly. Stella chuckled. "There must be a way. Let's go to Angie's house after this." "Yeah, it should be fine. I have to call the Director before we go. The Director is even more stressed than I am. I think Mr. Shine isn't home at this hour, so it shouldn't be difficult to get into his house," Greg said. "Why would it be less difficult?" Stella asked casually. "I mean, who will be fine with someone entering their house to look around?" Greg said. "I thought he was a very arrogant person." Stella suddenly thought of the pregnant girl. "Does Angie have any children?" "Yes, a boy. He is a Lieutenant in Jasper Milton's military area. Since his mother just died,
"Many things can change in three years. Like your job, your social circle, your personal relationship or your living environment." Stella Grace said as she tried to get away from Jasper Milton. Jasper grabbed her hand and pulled her in front of him. She was unprepared and knocked against his chest. She could smell his familiar scent. Stella was flustered and that made her angry. She pulled away her hand and slapped Jasper in the face. There was a loud snap. Three swollen fingerprints appeared on his face. Jasper squinted at her coldly. Stella knew that she had overreacted, so she avoided his gaze. Jasper blocked her with his body. "Are you afraid of me?" he asked intently. Stella looked at him and said, "People's behaviors are related to their past. I have been raped before. That's why I dislike people who touch me without my permission or force me to do something I don't want to do. I'm sorry if I have offended you, C
