When Sherry woke up from her sleep, she realized Stella was no longer on her bed. Feeling shocked,
she sat up and looked for her around the ward, yet she did not find her. She hurriedly rushed out of the
ward. As she was about to inquire about her whereabouts at the nurse office, she encountered
Clarence who was walking towards her.
Although she wanted to chastise him, she could not care more about that and she asked anxiously,
“Mr. Conrad, Stella’s gone!” Clarence stopped and his look turned gloomy. He turned around and asked
a nurse, “Where’s the surveillance room?” The nurse quickly led them there, yet the camera only
captured Stella walking out of the ward. She walked towards the emergency exit and was nowhere to
be found.
Sherry frowned and she whispered, “Where else could she go like this? She can’t even walk properly…
Could it be she’s fainted somewhere?” Nathan spoke, “Mr. Conrad, our men have been guarding the
hospital entrance, and missus is not seen.”
What he meant was she must still be in the hospital. Clarence pursed his lips and took two steps
backward, he turned around and left. Watching him left, Sherry was going to say something else, yet
he was already nowhere to be found.
…
Clarence went to the rooftop and that weak figure appeared in his line of sight as expected. She was
holding the balustrade and she was swaying on her feet in the wind as if she was going to fall down the
next second. He approached her slowly. “What are you doing, Stella?”
Stella gazed out at the far end and she did not turn back. Her voice sounded soft due to the wind. “Why
are you here again, Mr. Conrad?”
“I’m asking you.”

Stella seemed to let out a smile and she spoke softly, “What do you think I’m going to do? Jump from
here because I’m too desperate? You’ve thought too much, if I’m that weak when facing challenge, I
won’t be able to live until now.” She slightly lifted her head. “I only want to breathe some fresh air.”
“Don’t you know your health situation now?”
“I do. I’m just clinging to the last bit of my life.”
Clarence stood behind her. He took off his jacket and put it on her, rumbling, “Enough, Stella, get back.”
Stella turned around and looked at him, there was slight contempt in her smile. “Your actions tonight
are easy to let people misunderstand, don’t you think so? Mr. Conrad.”
Clarence still kept a straight face and he gazed at her with dark eyes. “Misunderstand of what?”
“That you like me.”
“I never denied that.”
Stella suddenly burst out laughing. Indeed, he had never denied it, yet his fondness towards her was
not worth mentioning. Clarence said, “I’ve told you I can make you Mrs. Conrad.”
“What you provide me is just to let me return to that cage again. Clarence, you don’t really like me,
you’re just used to having me settling everything for you at your side, you’ve gone used to me enduring
your temper, you’ve gone used to…”
Clarence grabbed her wrist and interrupted her, “Stella, have you lost your conscience?”
“You’re wrong again, Mr. Conrad, I don’t have one.”
Clarence pursed his lips and only spoke at length, “What on earth do you want?”
“What do I want?” Stella murmured and there was confusion in her eyes. What did she want? What
could she want? Did she still have the right to make choices and speak now? Clarence said, “The
child’s gone, it’s a fact that couldn’t be changed. Until when are you going to stop behaving like a half-
dead person?”
Having heard that, Stella’s confused eyes were slowly focused on him. She gazed at him silently and a
smile gradually broke up on her lips. Yeah, it was just something trivial to him, and his wish was even
fulfilled. How would he know? A person like him would probably never know.
She tossed his hand away gently and fell a little to the balustrade. “No matter what happen to me, it’s
none of your business. If you have the time, you should care about your fiancée and stop wasting your
time on me here.” Clarence looked at her with an expressionless face and he did not say a word.
Stella took two steps forward with difficulty while supporting herself, yet her body had reached its
limitation. With a moment of blackout, she passed out. Clarence fetched her. He carried her and
immediately left the rooftop.
…
When Stella opened her eyes once again, there was only Sherry with the rim of her eyes red in the
ward. Seeing her awake, Sherry seized her hands. “Stella, stop running everywhere. The doctor says
your health now is very poor, if there’s any more accident, then…”
Stella said, “Don’t worry, I was only going out for some thinking. I’ve made my mind clear.” Sherry
nodded while choking. God knows how horrified she was when she saw Clarence carrying her whose
clothes had been dyed red by blood yesterday.
Stella looked at the sky outside and asked, “How long have I slept?”
“It’s been three days.” Sherry then continued, “Oh yes, Adolph Miller becomes conscious now. He was
transferred to ordinary ward. I’ve asked the nurse, no one visited him these days.” Stella said,

A week later, Stella’s wound gradually recovered. Except that her face was still pale, her energy had
improved a lot. Just then, an unwelcomed guest arrived. Phoebe stood at the entrance of the ward and
smiled. “Can I come in, Miss Radomil?”
Stella was not surprised of her arrival and she nodded. Phoebe put the flower she bought beside her
and said calmly, “I’ve asked the doctors, they said your recovery is really fast and you’ll be able to get
discharged in just a while.” She then continued, “I’m sorry for taking such a long time to pay you a visit,
it’s just that it’s kinda hard to enter this hospital.”
Stella only smiled and did not give any comment regarding what she said. She was not interested to
know the reason why the hospital was difficult to enter at all and she did not have the mood to inquire
what she meant by her words too. Phoebe glanced at Sherry who was looking alert at the side. “I
suppose we’ve met before, at SG Jewelry?”
Sherry nodded and spoke absent-mindedly, “I’m the photographer of the magazine.”
“No wonder, I’m actually looking for a photographer to take photos for…” As if she noticed she should
not say those things in front of Stella, she paused and continued, “If you’re free, I would like you to take
a series of photos for me.”
Sherry replied, “I’m sorry, I’m going to resign, please find someone else.”
“Is that so.” Phoebe seemed to look a little disappointed and after looking at Stella, she said, “I have
something to say to Miss Radomil alone, do you mind leaving here first?” Sherry did not move. As she
was about to reject, she heard Stella saying, “Please leave here first, Sherry.”
“I…”
“Could you get me some fruits?”
