“But my stomach still hurts so much. It’s aching… Jessica cried pitifully, grasping Brian’s hand to prevent
him from leaving.
Brian discreetly withdrew his hand. He turned to ask the doctor, “What’s going on?”
“It’s likely the shock she suffered,” the doctor replied.
“Brian, I don’t want to speculate about Stella’s character. But she did push me earlier. I was so scared….
Tears welled up in Jessica’s eyes as she pleaded. She feared that if she didn’t mention it, Brian would
brush the incident aside. She had to make him take a stand.
*I’ll investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation later,” Brian said. He glanced sideways
and instructed Mike to look into it.
After all the commotion, he realized Stella hadn’t come to the hospital. Brian frowned. He was about to
call her when Jessica started crying out in pain again. “Brian, my stomach hurts so much. Please rub it…”
“You shouldn’t touch a pregnant woman’s belly,” the obstetrician reminded them.
With others present in the room, Jessica couldn’t do much except grasp his hand and cry.
Within an hour, Mike got his hand on the surveillance footage. He quietly told Brian, “At the time of the
incident, Mrs. Foley and Ms. Xenos were grappling in the hallway. Then, Ms. Xenos fell.”
It was unclear whether Stella had pushed Jessica. The two were pulling at each other, so the details were
unclear.
“What were you arguing about?” Brian asked Jessica.
Jessica trembled slightly under his scrutinizing gaze, whispering as she grasped his fingers.
“I was telling Stella that you said you’d be responsible for the child I’m carrying. She didn’t believe me and
wanted to confront you. I was afraid you two would argue, so I tried to stop her, but she pushed me…” She recounted it pitifully.
Brian frowned. “That doesn’t sound like her.”
Jessica’s body stiffened as tears streamed down her face. “Whether she did it on purpose or not, she pushed me.”
“Both of you were grappling. It’s hard to say who’s at fault,” Brian was unwilling to pursue it further,
A cold glint flashed in Jessica’s eyes as she pitifully said, “I know. You’re biased toward her. Even if you know she pushed me, you’ll still take her side.”
Brian didn’t respond. The prolonged silence spoke volumes. Jessica’s heart turned cold as she clenched
her fists tightly. She wouldn’t let this matter end so easily
Brian stepped outside to call Stella. At that moment, Stella was in Yoel’s car. His Bentley drove toward
the mountains with the wind howling around them.
When Stella received Brian’s call, she wanted to know about Jessica’s condition. She answered quickly.
Hello.”
“Why didn’t you come to the hospital earlier?” Brian asked her over the
Stella asked, ‘Is Jessica alright?”
“She had a few tests done, but she’s fine.”
phone.
Stella felt much more at ease and was relieved that Jessica’s baby was okay. If something had happened, Stella wouldn’t have been able to clear her name.
“Where did you go? Did you go home?” Brian continued.
‘I went out to clear my head.”
“It’s already past ten. Don’t stay out too late. Go home soon.”
Stella was silent for a moment. “Are you coming back tonight?”
“I have to stay at the hospital tonight. The doctor wants Jessica to stay for observation. I need to be here
with her.” He needed to ensure she was okay.
Upon hearing this, Stella felt an indescribable emptiness. “Alright, you stay with her then, Goodbye.”
After hanging up, the car arrived at Tarovian Terrace No. 8. Yoel reminded her, “Stella, we’re here.”
Stella’s expression was gloomy as she suddenly said, “Can you take me to the back of the mountain?”
