Frederick Addington was angry and hurt. He let go of her and said, "Stella, you can't have both. It's impossible for you to have Jasper and the child. If you want Jasper, I won't give the child to you. I will tell Titus that you chose love and abandoned him." "Titus is still young, you'll traumatize him," Stella cried anxiously. She was so disgusted with Frederick at that moment. "Isn't this your choice? Love or family, you can only choose one," Frederick said firmly, staring at Stella. Stella Grace fixed her eyes on Frederick, her mind in turmoil. Why couldn't romantic love and family love go hand in hand? The child clearly belonged to her and Jasper. She could go to Jasper. Now that she knew how he looked like, it was only a matter of time before they tracked Titus down with facial recognition software. Stella slowly regained her clarity. She had to leave now. She couldn't provoke Frederick, so she had to retreat carefully. "I have to think abou
"When did this start?" Frederick Addington asked worriedly. Her illness was obvious to him, it was almost the same as her mother's. She did not want to hide it. "After my attempted suicide failed." Frederick was puzzled. "You're a psychologist. Haven't you seen many patients?" Stella Grace had mentioned she was mentally ill before, but he didn't take her seriously then. He did now. "A doctor can't treat herself. I tried to hypnotize myself many times, but I failed. I put two types of medicine in my bag. One is sleeping pills, and the other is Chlorpromazine. Chlorpromazine acts as a tranquilizer, it works wonders on mania. However, it has serious side effects. It's toxic and remain in the body for up to six hours. Therefore, I can only take it once every six hours or it would cause amenorrhea, high pressure and depression. That's why I have long-term insomnia. And that is why I have sleeping pills with me, I am dependent on them.
Stella Grace was very determined. "I also have something to do. It will take three months." She had a tendency to abandon things halfway through. It was evident in her love for Frederick, her love for Jasper, even her love for her work. If she faked her death, it would be impossible for her to stay in A city. She still had things to do, so as not to leave any regrets. Frederick Addington finally gave in. "Okay, I will give you three months. I will send Titus away in three months. Stella, don't do anything that you'll regret, and don't let Jasper know about this. Otherwise, there really is no turning back." Stella nodded. "I'm going back. I'll go to Yale City tomorrow." "I'll send you back to the military base." Frederick opened the door of the bathroom. Stella looked at Titus. "No, I can go back by myself." Titus sat in a chair and looked at them like he was afraid of being abandoned. Stella stepped forward and kissed Titus on the forehe
Stella Grace came to her senses and looked at Jasper Milton No matter what they went through, they still couldn't be together. Was it because she didn't fulfill her promise to Timmy Nine? After she left, Jasper would go back to Bettany. Would he forget her again? If she left and changed her appearance, where would she take Titus? The more she thought about it, the more distracted she became. "I'm thinking about Tavers Village. I'm a little distracted," Stella said with a smile. Jasper smiled and looked at her dotingly. "I didn't expect my mother to accept us so soon." "Your mother actually loves you very much. Three years ago, your father kidnapped me. Your mother was the one who stopped it. If it weren't for your mother, I might have died. She is not a bad person. She just wants the best for you," Stella explained. "If she gets to know you, she will eventually see the good in you, and in time, she will realize that you are the most suit
Stella's heart was trembling. In other words, if Bettany Hadley brought their child to him, he would still choose her, right? Unfortunately, she was going to be one to give up first this time around. Even if they were no longer together in the future, he will always be the man whom she loved the most, forever and always. "Jasper, why do you like me? Didn't you say that I wasn't your type?" Stella smiled and said. "You've been pushing me away, so I said that on purpose. I think you fit my requirements quite perfectly." Jasper Milton murmured. His face turned red. He was not used to saying romantic words like these. "I'm quite mean, and I don't speak nice words." Stella said self-deprecatingly. "Don't judge a book by its cover. Those who speak only good words might have ill intentions too. Even if they only had good intentions, they are probably a rare breed. I'm usually quite apprehensive to those who are too well-mannered. And honestly, I don't
A sharp look flashed across Stella's eyes. She was very unhappy. She glared at Frederick Addington and said, "Frederick, I don't understand what you're saying." Frederick grinned wickedly. "Just kidding, don't take it seriously. I'm going to play cards with my friends nearby. I'm leaving." He entered the car and drove away. Stella knew that he was here to give her a hint that he was everywhere. "I don't like him. Stay away from him when you see him next time." Jasper Milton said to Stella. "I don't like him either," Stella replied with certainty. Both of them headed back home. Jasper drove while Stella leaned against the seat and looked out of the window. She was gazing at the night scene. "Sleep for a while if you're tired. I'll wake you up when we arrive at the military base," Jasper urged in a deep voice. "Okay." Stella shut her eyes, but she just couldn't fall asleep. There were too many thoughts flooding her mind. Thus, she ope
It was already 10 a.m. when Stella Grace woke up. Jasper Milton was not by her side. She got up, brushed her teeth, washed her face, and stepped out of the room. Jasper was not in the living room either. She wanted to say goodbye to him before leaving, so she gave him a call. "When will you be leaving?" Jasper asked. "In the afternoon. It's already ten o'clock, I'll leave after lunch. Will you be coming back for lunch? If you are, I'll cook for you as well," Stella replied softly. "Okay, I'll be there in an hour." Jasper hung up and looked at the report in his hand. There were two types of medications in Stella's bag. One was the sleeping pills, and the other was Chlorpromazine. The sedative in Chlorpromazine was generally used to cure those with manic depressive disorder. Why would Stella carry this kind of medicine with her? He remembered when Stella quarreled with him, she mentioned something about being sick as well.
He liked what she said - "Our future may be full of thorns, but as long as we face these challenges hand in hand, we will definitely conquer them together." Marriage was only the beginning of a new life, not the end. After lunch, he took her to the train station. He greeted the station master. The train was set for Yale City and Jasper Milton had bought her a first-class ticket. When Stella Grace was about to walk towards the platform, she realized that she was reluctant to leave him. She turned her head and looked at him. The corner of Jasper's lips curved up slightly. He was calm and composed. Even though he was out of the military base, he still stood straight and tall. His assuring gaze gave Stella a sense of security. No matter how reluctant they were to leave each other, they knew they had to part ways. Stella got on the bullet train. A notification came to her phone. She tapped on the screen and saw Jasper's message. "I've reserved
