"Are you going to meet her now?" Sean asked in a deep voice. Stella nodded. She had lots of things to tell Eli. Sean then brought Stella to Eli's door. "She's inside. She slept very late yesterday, so she's probably still sleeping right now." Stella smiled. "As always." "Yeah," Sean replied as he pushed the door open. Eli suddenly sat up from the bed, her hair still messy. She asked Sean, who was at the door, "Is it time to eat?" "Not yet. Your friend came to see you," Sean said dotingly. Stella then entered the room. Eli screamed in surprise when she saw Stella. She immediately jumped out of bed and said, "Stella, you're back. I missed you so much." She hugged Stella. Sean's eyes were filled with sadness. The happier Eli was, the sadder he was, especially after listening to Stella's death wish. He closed the door so that the two girls could have a good time together. "Give me a moment. I'll brush my teeth and wash
"Other people may say bad things to hurt you, to make you feel uncomfortable or depressed. But you have to remember not to pay any attention to them and don't let those people enter your life. Their opinions and words are only meant to hurt you and it doesn't necessarily represent the truth. You don't have to take it to heart," Stella continued. Eli nodded. Tears streamed down her face and her shoulders were trembling slightly. "You must learn to be mature. We could always stay ignorant and have people protect us so that we could do whatever we want, but the people protecting us will get tired too. Don't let the people who love you feel too tired," Stella said gently. Eli raised her head and looked at Stella. "What if I can't do it?" Stella smiled. "You could improve a little bit day by day, you will be happier as you work harder. Remember to take care of your mental state too. As long as you improve a little, you will be happy. A life with goals is a life well-
"I was possessed, that's why I killed you. I had never intended to do that," Samuel stepped back to the corner and squatted on the ground. He was trembling. "I'm so cold and I miss my family. I can't see my surroundings clearly. Where did you bury me?" Stella asked. Samuel kept his head low and put his arms around himself. Stella walked up to Samuel, placing her hand on his shoulder. Samuel's body was trembling as he looked at Stella, his eyes filled with fear. "If I can't find my way home, then I could only follow you." "No, please don't follow me," Samuel dared not look into Stella's eyes as he shrank into a corner. "Sir, where is my father, Darren? I want to take him home," Stella asked. Samuel looked at Stella and he seemed to have seen hope. "He's in Golden Sand Forest. I buried him under the ground. But, I am not sure where I buried him." Stella got up and looked at the helpless Samuel. She ignored him and went to open the doo
"When will your men come over?" Stella asked. "I might bring three people over tomorrow. There won't be enough time if I only bring two over. They have to clean up the house and do laundry too. Besides, I remember that you wanted to buy medical equipment before, right? I'll find an expert in construction and ask the soldiers to help with renovating the new building. It will get busy for a while," Bellamy seemed to have thought of everything. Stella pondered. She wanted a building solely for her medical equipment because she wanted to study the antidote. Now that she had decided to leave with Jasper, would she still need the building? Oh, right, she could also pass the responsibilities of the antidote to Bellamy. "Thank you," Stella said softly. Bellamy smiled and said, "As long as you are here, all of this is worth it." "I have one more thing to ask you. Could you bring Jasper's ashes back?" Stella asked. "He is resting in peace rig
Stella took a piece of grilled fish for Eli and placed it on her plate. "Mmm..." Eli moaned as she took a bite. "I think it tastes better than the one we had at the seafood restaurant." "The fishes there are probably farm-raised while these are wild-caught. They've probably been swimming in the ocean for a few years," Stella explained. "I want to come here and have lots of fish for the rest of my life, and nobody can stop me," Eli proceeded to grab another piece of grilled fish onto her plate. "Sure," Stella replied gently. Suzi looked at Eli and her eyes dimmed slightly. "I thought of Lynette." "I'm sure that she'll be fine, she just needs time to recover. You could bring her back here if her condition permits. She's probably lonely in the hospital too," Stella said. "I'll drop by the hospital tomorrow to visit her, then I'll ask the doctor if she could be discharged. Even if anything happens, it'd be better if she's at home," Suzi said.
Stella's mind was in a complete mess. She shut her eyes, worrying that they could no longer hide the fact that Eli was Sean's mistress. If that happens, then Eli would become the target of all the netizen's hate comments, and she'd definitely be the first to suffer. All of a sudden, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Sean, she quickly picked up and asked anxiously, "How could this happen?" "Stella, tell me who's more important to you, Bellamy or Eli?" Sean said seriously. "What do you mean?" Stella stood up from her seat, a bad feeling brewing inside her heart. "Bellamy is behind all of this. The video was taken by Rebecca's servant, Loraine. She's working for Bellamy." Stella was silent as she tried to recall everything. She still didn't quite believe it. Bellamy had clearly said that he would let her decide if he would run for the next Presidential elections. "Do you have any evidence?" "Loraine was a spy who had been exiled, but
"Mrs. Milton, please don't get too worked up, you're still pregnant," Elvis said with worry. He picked up Stella's phone and put it on the table. "You're going to follow Bellamy too, aren't you?" Stella asked Elvis directly. Elvis remained silent. Without saying a word, he lowered his head. Stella finally understood everything. The only reason they had taken care of her and protected her was that they thought Jasper was still alive. They were doing this because they thought that it would give them a brighter future. Once they were sure that Jasper was dead, they turned to another person to climb up the social ladder. Everyone was willing to switch sides to make it to the top. After all, it was human nature to be greedy. She understood this very well. She couldn't blame them. She could only respect their decision because there was nothing she could do about it. However, her heart was filled with sadness. Was this the Dark Shadow that she had bee
"Well, thank God Sean doesn't have someone he likes who is already dead. Otherwise, I'd never date him," Eli exclaimed. Stella remained quiet. Elvis looked at Eli worriedly, his gaze filled with concern as he shifted his eyes to Stella. Stella's eyes were red as she gripped Eli's hand tightly. "What's wrong?" Eli sensed that Stella was acting strangely. "Will you tell me what Master Olgic says to you after he tells you your fortune?" Stella asked. "Sure." ...... There was a large group of people lining up at the foot of the mountain, waiting to see Master Olgic. Stella lined up with Eli and waited for their turn obediently. A young clergyman ran over and bowed to Stella. "Miss, Master Olgic invites you to the main hall." Eli looked at Stella in surprise. "We're so lucky." "Mm," Stella replied. They followed the clergyman and soon arrived outside the church. "Miss Grace, please." "Eli, wait for me at the
