Stella had no idea about how long it had passed. She only knew that the car was driven at high speed
and it was shaking.
She asked in a low voice, “Where are we going?”
Several minutes later, Adolph’s tensed voice sounded, “We can’t go anywhere.”
Stella was stunned, feeling her blood froze, “What do you mean?”
“This car has some man-made problems. The brake is broken.”
Stella finally figured out Joanna’s intention when she heard the words.
No wonder that she required her not to tell anyone about this and to leave her families and friends and
live alone in the future.
It turned out that Joanna was planning this from the very beginning.
If she believed in Joanna and left with her men, she would have died miserably.
And the child in her belly would also disappear in this world.
This was what Joanna wanted.
It seemed like the car had left the mountain as more and more honks could be heard.
Stella leaned back on the chair and suddenly said, “You can leave me alone and jump out of the car.”
Adolph didn’t reply. He drove the car by the quick-moving traffic as he wanted to drive the car to a thin
traffic area.
Stella seemed to be a bit tired, “I don’t know why you would come to me. You might not know that
Modesty was taken away by the police for investigation yesterday. I was also surprised when I heard
your name from an acquaintance of Modesty.”
When Sherry called her last night, she told her this.
Modesty and Adolph were neighbors and they grew up together. Nonetheless, ever since Modesty
went abroad, they hadn’t contacted each other.
Originally Stella didn’t think too much of this. But Adolph’s appearance today let her recall something
that she neglected before.
She guessed that it was Adolph who stealthily substituted the necklace she designed for the charity
party before.
The blue veins on Adolph’s forehead stood out, “I did all those things. They have nothing to do with
her.”
“It’s useless to tell me this.” Stella chuckled, “I guess that you take me away for the sake of Modesty
again. But this is good. I will die and you can save trouble.”
Adolph gritted her teeth. When the car was about to hit a little girl, he abruptly turned the steering
wheel, causing the car to hit on a waste container on the side of the road. The strong force caused
Stella to hit on the car door.
Stella knitted her brows. Although she had shut her mouth tightly, a painful moan still leaked out.
Adolph asked, “Are you all right?”
“All… All right.”
When they went to a place with thin traffic, Adolph turned around and found that Stella’s pants were
soaked by blood. He furrowed his brows and said, “You’re bleeding.”
This time, Stella didn’t reply.
She knew what was waiting for her.
Maybe Clarence was right – it was she who chose to give birth to the child, so she had to bear all the
possible consequences.
Sometimes going one’s own way was a mistake in nature.
This was what she deserved.
Stella finally gained some strength after a long while. She said in a flat tone, “You can go now.”
Adolph didn’t reply.
Stella said in an extremely gentle voice, “You don’t need to pretend to be a good man at this critical
moment. Do you know how much I hate you? If it wasn’t that you threatened me with my younger
brother back then, I would not have…”
She suddenly choked with sobs. After barely controlling her surging emotions, she continued, “This
should have come to an end three years ago. I’ve experienced a lot over the past three years. I’m so
tired. So just let it be.”
Right at this moment, she felt someone tearing apart the silk scarf on her face.
At the next moment, Adolph threw a dagger to her, “Find a way to cut the rope.”
Without the cover of the silk scarf, Stella finally realized how thrilling it was. She had bled so much
blood.
She couldn’t give up.
For the sake of the baby in her belly, she couldn’t give up now.
The car gradually became stable. Stella moved to reach the dagger and began to cut the rope.
Luckily, the dagger was sharp enough and the rope was broken after a short while.
Adolph said, “I will send you to the nearest hospital now. But I don’t know what situation we will face.
You’d better prepare yourself mentally.”
…
In the black Rolls-Royce…
Nathan said, “Mr. Conrad, here’s the information we got. The one taking away Mrs. Conrad was Adolph
Miller. According to the surveillance videos, the car that he’s driving has a brake failure…”
Nathan didn’t dare to continue because Clarence’s expression was so horrible.
Nathan suddenly received a phone call. After ending the call, he reported, “Mr. Conrad, the car is
heading to a hospital.”
Clarence ordered in a cold voice, “Prepare some speed humps and shock-proof equipment.
“Roger.”
Nathan received the order and hurriedly made arrangements.
Clarence winded down the window and pressed his thin lips tightly.
Through the rear-view mirror, Nathan found that Clarence’s hands that were put on his knees were
trembling slightly.
…
When they arrived at the hospital, Adolph found that the irrelevant people had been evacuated and
there were many speed humps in front of the hospital.
He said to Stella in a deep voice, “Be careful.”
He then headed forwards without a second thought.
Stella, who cowered in a corner, slightly bent down. She was trying her best
Even so, she could still feel that she was bleeding so much blood.
Stella’s face was covered with sweats. She clenched her fists tightly to withstand the shaking brought
by those speed bumps.
In the end, with a loud sound, the car seemed to knock onto something.
Stella was overwhelmed by darkness. She could hear the noises and it sounded name someone was
calling her name. She was familiar with the voice and wanted to see who it was. However, she couldn’t
open her eyes no matter how hard she tried.
She was in a coma.
Nathan pulled Clarence who was exuding an icy-cold aura, “Mr. Conrad, we’re not clear of Mrs.
Conrad’s situation now. So we’d better wait for the doctor.”
Clarence seemed to calm down a bit when he heard the words. He gradually clenched his hands into
fists and the blue veins stood out on the back of his hand.
A doctor who had been waiting there hurriedly stepped forwards and examined Stella’s condition. They
then carefully carried her out of the car.
Stella and Adolph were sent into the operation room one by one.
Standing in front of the hospital, Clarence opened his clenched fists. Looking at the blood on his hands,
his heart skipped one beat.
Nathan had never seen such a look on Clarence and had a complicated emotion in his heart. He could
only comfort him in a low voice, “Mr. Conrad, Mrs. Conrad will be all right.”
It suddenly drizzled.
A drop of rain fell on Clarence’s palm.
Clarence put his palms together and said in an extremely low voice, “That child is very important to
Stella.”
He looked up and then looked at Nathan. There seemed to be a layer of ice on his face, “No matter
what, they have to save the child.”
Nathan replied, “I have contacted the best doctors in the country and they’re now on the way here.
They will arrive soon.”
