Crossroads

Chapter 331

Stephanie thought Molly was strange. Molly wanted to leave after she had just received a phone call, and she seemed to be frightened by the person on the other end of the phone.

Stephanie looked at her seriously and refused to let her go. "Who called you just now? Did someone threaten you?"

Upon hearing this, Molly blushed and felt very guilty. "No. It's okay, I'll tell you after I've calmed down." She really didn't have the nerve to tell Stephanie about the things that happened between her and Scott

"Molly, too many bad things have happened around me. I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble. If you find anything wrong, tellimmediately, okay?"

The more serious Stephanie's tone was, the more embarrassed Molly became. She mumbled. "I'm just an ordinary person. You should pay attention to your safety. Every tyou go back to Caclorium, something bad will happen to you. I'll call you later."

They each hailed a taxi. Molly went to the west of the city, and Stephanie went to the Caelorum Central Hospital.

"How is he now?" Standing outside the ward door, Stephanie glanced inside. Diana opened the door, and she asked awkwardly.

Stephanie and Gary had been in a tense relationship. It was hard for her to care about him and say those words of concern all of a sudden.

Diana saw her wandering outside the ward and knew that she was struggling. She said, "The doctor said that it's nothing serious as long as he wakes up, and he can be transferred to the general ward"

"Oh Stephanie responded calmly, with an expressionless face.

Diana asked naturally, "Do you want to go in?"

Gary seemed to have woken up in the ward, and there was the sound of news playing on TV. Stephanie sat on a chair outside the ward and said, "III go in after he fell asleep. If she entered the ward and had a quarrel with him, Gary would probably get angry and then be sent to the intensive care unil agun Seeing her sitting beside her quietly, Diana wanted to laugh. Steffi, do you want to go hto rest tonight?"

She knew that Stephanie was staying in a hotel. Samantha had just mentioned that Reed Villa was desolate. Diana was in a mix of emotions.

Stephanie didn't reply immediately. If it were in the past, she would have rejected Diana without even thinking about it.

Changing the subject, she said. "Diana, go to have a rest. You look tired."

Diana was tired from taking care of Gary. Stephanie suddenly remembered that her stepmother, Courtney, had not even shown up yet. She immediately got angry and asked, "Hasn't Courtney cyet?"

Diana wanted to say something when the nanny supported Samantha this way from the corridor. Samantha heard the nCourtney and immediately cursed, "That bitch! Courtney married Gary but cout all day long, Gary is sick, and she doesn't even cto see him."

Samantha had always been satisfied with Courtney. Otherwise, she would not have agreed to let Courtney continue her career as an actress. But this time, even Stephanie felt strange that her hypocritical stepmother did not cto show off her gentleness.

"Steffi, why are you sitting here Go in and see your dad: When Samantha saw Stephanie, she smiled and took Stephanie into the ward in somewhat forceful manner. Stephanie dared not push her and followed her in to the ward awkwardly.

Just like Stephanie expected, she entered the ward and looked at Cary, who was sitting on the hospital bed. They both becembarrassed when they looked at each other, looking like strangers and having no topics to talk about

"You have a good daughter, Cary. You're sick, and Steffi rushed over immediately after hearing the news, Samantha said with a bit of pride. "Just now, Vincent, the son of the Hayes family in Havencrest, chere and brought several experts for you. I'm finally relieved now. Steffi is really a good girl"

Although Samantha was snobbish, she seemed really happy. Stephanie didn't quite fit in this strange warmth.

Gary leaned against the headboard and actually made a faint response. "Hmm."

Stephanie was stunned. She was surprised that Gary actually recognized her She didn't do anything. Maybe they thought she asked Vincent for help for Gary. However, Vincent chere on his own.

Samantha brought soup and poured it into a bowl while saying to Stephanie, "Steffl, I heard from Diana that you rented a house and lived there

3.51 PM ď ď

Clupter 331

"Yeah," Stephanie didn't say much, just responded with one word.

Samantha handed half a bowl of soup to Gary, who took it and took a sip, then looked at Stephanie meaningfully.

She continued, "You live alone. Can you take care of yourself? Our his big but not lively. Cback and live with us."

Stephanie didn't respond but just looked down at her toes, After all they were a family, and they all knew Stephanie's personality. Other girls were cute, but Stephanie was more stubborn than boys. Sometimes, girls just needed to act coquettishly or cry, and their elders could soften their attitudes, but Stephanie would just stare at them blankly.

Samantha scolded her many times because of this, but in the end, she could do nothing about it. She thought except for the fact that Stephanie was a litde unfamiliar with them, there might be other reasons for her umallingness to cback home.

"How are the affairs with the Wellington family going now? I asked someone and learned that you and Dominick haven't divorced yet. What about your idea! They said you insisted on not getting a divorce, Samantha asked calmly, without any mockery. However, Stephanie didn't know how to answer. This matter was really ridiculous

"If you and Dominick are really not suitable, just divorce him" Gary, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

Stephanie looked at him in a daze. In fact, she had long noticed that Gary had opposed her having any contact with the Wellington family from the very beginning. Diana was also very opposed to it. Except for Samantha, who simply wanted to make a connection with the Wellington family, no one in the Reed family agreed to her marriage with Dominick

"You lost the children. It's fate. Forget it." Samantha seemed to have figured it out. As people got older, they were not as stubborn as they were before. When the word "children" was mentioned. Stephanie clenched her hands when her children were mentioned, and her mood was so heavy The door of the ward was open, and Diana heard their conversation. Seeing Stephanie's complicated expression, she spoke to ease the atmosphere. *Stem, Mr. Hayes is looking for you. Go out for a while."

"Hmm." As if she wanted to escape, Stephanie walked out of the ward quickly.

Looking at her back. Cary was about to stop her when he met Diana's eyes. They fell silent.

In fact. Vincent didn't look for Stephanie, but Diana made an excuse for her

"Thanks." Stephanie met Vincent in the doctor's office and listened to streatment plans. She suddenly thanked him calmly when they walked out of the hospital.

Vincent was a little flattered. But after a while, he thought he deserved her thanks. After all, he call the way from Havencrest in a hurry.

"Stephanie, I haven't eaten yet, Vincent said with a look of pride.

"Why d didn't you tellwhat we were in the restaurant before!

"Just now, you and Kevin were drinking coffee. How could I be in the mood to order food then, Vincent added, feeling a little dissatisfied. "And there's nothing good to eat in that restaurant."

Stephanie was speechless. "You are really picky."

I'm picky? Are you serious?" Vincent retorted to her..

They walked into the elevator side by side and then went out to find food together.

Vincent liked to drive around, so he rented a car. Besides, he knew very well about the places that were fun and had delicious food to eat in Caelorum. He naturally would not aggrieve his stomach.

Stephanie, who had been in a very depressed mood, suddenly fel much more relaxed after being with Vincent. Seeing his careless look, she was really jealous that he had no worries and had so many friends

"Vincent, have you ever heard of any grudges between my family and the Wellington family?" she asked casually. Vincent had a wide network of contacts, and he knew a lot of secret histories of wealthy families.

"No" Vincent drove carefully and answered.

Steplunie sat in the passenger and stared at him with burning eyes. Being stared at Vincent probably felt guilty and added, "Sometimes Dominick might be more forceful and paranoid in his approach to things, but he definitely never intended to hurt you."

Stephanie raised her vodor "What did you know?"

Vincent shuddered and realized that he had said too much.
