At ten o’clock in the morning, Clarence left after Sherry came.
Before leaving, he said faintly, “Keep an eye on her. Don’t let her go out of the hospital.”
When Clarence said this, his face looked indifferent. Sherry was stunned as she looked at him. She
subconsciously nodded her head.
After the door of the ward was closed, Sherry regained her consciousness, “What’s wrong with him
again? He makes me feel like I am a warden.”
Stella sat on the hospital bed and laughed dryly, “He is angry with me.”
“Why?”
“It’s because of the incident yesterday. I didn’t tell him about it. Moreover, he is unhappy about me
meeting with Adolph alone.”
Sherry clicked her tongue, “Mr. Conrad is jealous of every man you interact with. At first, Emmett was
the one, but after all, he also tried to pursue you openly. But what about Adolph…”
Stella said, “He was worried about my safety.”
Indeed, Sherry understood Clarence’s intention to protect Stella’s safety and she nodded approvingly,
“It’s true that you might be unsafe if you meet with Adolph alone. Moreover, he is Modesty’s friend. I
think Mr. Conrad is reasonable to worry about your safety. It’s better that you don’t meet him alone in
the future.”
“Actually he’s not a bad guy in nature. There’s a big difference between him and Modesty. He was
compelled to become like this to make a living.”
Sherry sighed, “By the way, it’s been a long time since I’ve heard something about Modesty. How is she
doing? Had the murderer who killed Arthur been caught?”
Stella shook his head, “I don’t know. At the time of making the statement, the police told me that they
will tell me once they catch the murderer. They didn’t call me and I think they haven’t caught the
murderer yet.”
As for Modesty, Stella didn’t hear anything about her since she had a call with her last time.
Adolph had been living in Jeffrey’s house recently and he never contacted her since that time.
Sherry said again, “What did the doctor say?”
Stella said, “Nothing serious. He just told me that I suffered too much stress recently and had mental
tension. I was too upset suddenly to pass out this time.”
“I really think that you should rest for a while. You have been busy every day and there are so many
things bothering you. I will also have a lot of stress mentally if I were you.”
Stella nodded her head gently. She said after a while, “I want to go see a psychologist.”
Sherry was stunned, “Has it come to such an extent?”
Stella smiled, “It’s not because of this. I actually wanted to go a few days ago as I should be free
recently.”
“Is it because of … the thing when you asked me to go to the apartment before this?”
Stella didn’t deny it and continued, “I don’t know from since when I have always had an illusion that the
child is still alive. Every time I feel that it is true, the reality always tells me that I have thought too
much. I think I probably have suffered some mental problems.”
Sherry said, “Not really, maybe there are too many coincidences. You also said that Conrad is hiding
something from you, maybe what you are thinking is true…”
Stella shook her head, “He is hiding something from me. However, it is not about this.”
Hearing her words, Sherry was a bit curious, “Not about this? What is it?’
“I have always felt that there is someone at Daniel’s back. If my guess is correct, that person at his
back should be William.”
Sherry couldn’t help but frown, “William?”
“Yes.”
Sherry tried to recall the name for a while and realized something suddenly, “Ah, I remember, is it the
one who is particularly elegant and gentlemanly? I remember a little girl said that his charisma is similar
to Charles… no, I mean Lyndon.”
Hearing Sherry’s words, Stella was stunned.
At that time, she didn’t take this statement seriously because at that moment she didn’t really think that
William had a lot to do with what happened to the Steward family, and now she was almost certain that
he was the one at Daniel’s back.
Moreover, she had also been wondering who he really was.
Sherry’s words seemed to make her instantly get some clues.
After a while, Stella asked, “Do you also feel the same way?”
Sherry tilted her head while thinking, “It’s been several months. Actually I don’t have a deep impression
of him anymore, but I still remember Lyndon who always displays a serious look. I often see him on the
news and the memories are still quite fresh in my mind.”
Yes, Lyndon had been deliberately imitating another person since the explosion twenty years ago as if
he had put a mask on himself and lived with another identity.
However, his original temperament and demeanor couldn’t be changed easily.
Even if he changed a new face…
Lyndon had been disguised for so long. In fact, one could also sense a hint of hostility if one examined
his action carefully.
But no one thought about that. No one ever felt that the one who survived was Lyndon, not Charles. So
no one would deliberately observe the details of his actions.
But at this time, there was a person who looked very different from him but gave the impression that
they were extremely similar in some way.
Lyndon had pretended to be a gentleman, but the person looked like he should have been.
He came with a purpose. He wanted to make Lyndon in trouble and to bring the truth that year to the
public.
Even to….
Even to protect her.
He had spent a lot of time finding the location of her mother’s grave.
One could know the reason looking at all those elements.
Seeing Stella staring in front, Sherry reached out and shook his hand in front of her, “Stella, what are
you thinking about?”
Stella regained her consciousness. She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Sherry put her hand on Stella’s forehead, “Is everything okay? Do you want me to call the doctor? If
you don’t feel well anywhere, Mr. Conrad will make me in trouble again.”
Stella took her hand, and only after a long time did she say, “Sherry, I suddenly had a scary thought
just now.”
“What’s wrong?”
“If my real father was still alive, do you think he would forgive Jeffrey?”
Sherry said without thinking, “Of course not. If I were your father, I would also hate him.”
Stella murmured, “Then… how about Jeffrey’s son?”
Stella’s words made Sherry’s flesh creep, “Damn, I couldn’t answer your question. In fact, I feel that the
things Jeffrey did shouldn’t involve others as well. Chan had grown up together with you. You regard
him as your only family member and will not blame him for the things Jeffrey had done.”
“But if it’s your real father, then I cannot tell what will happen. After all, everyone has their opinion on
this kind of thing. It depends on how he thinks. As an outsider, I think that Chan and he are not blood
relatives, and Jeffrey had tried to harm you several times. He even put your mother… the person’s
son… Once a person is furious, he may not think so much, let alone be rational. He may do something
to take revenge on him.”
