Chapter 344
“To provoke Madison, Gary had an affair with Courtney. All these years, I’ve lived with them. I know Gary loves her, but he just loves her too much, in a way that’s almost demeaning. Sometimes he’s strict with you, not because he doesn’t care, but because he can’t control his emotions, so don’t blame him. In the end, he got nothing out of it.”
Diana looked at her, feeling a bit guilty. “When Gary b
Gary brought Courtney home, the conflict between Madison and him intensified, and eventually, Courtney had a miscarriage, and your mom was put in jail. Your mom threatened to kill herself, and Gary finally secretly let her go.” Until now, no one knew where Madison went except for Gary.
After saying this, Diana nervously watched Stephanie. She had been hiding this from Stephanie and felt very guilty.
“Madison didn’t actually commit suicide. Gary asked all of us to keep this a secret. He didn’t want you to know and have a bad impression of Madison. He was still protecting her until the end”
Stephanie’s expression was calm. After a while, she said calmly, “Courtney already told me. When my dad was just taken into surgery, too scared, and in her madness, she blurted out the truth.”
Stephanie’s voice gradually lowered. “So, everything I knew was fake, right?”
“Yes, it was all fake,” Diana said guiltly, not daring to look her in the eye but emphasizing. “But your life is not fake. The people around you.”
Suddenly, there was a rush of hurried footsteps from the direction of the elevator. Dominick had arrived.
When Stephanie saw Dominick running towards her from the elevator, she froze, unable to react
It wasn’t until Diana tugged at her sleeve and until the distinguished Dominick stood a foot in front of her that Stephanie snapped back to reality.
Maybe the hospital’s fluorescent lights were too white and glaring. Stephanie felt he was like a hallucination.
Dominick, this favored son of heaven, appeared before her just like that.
Stephanie suddenly felt like crying. The deepest emotions in her heart surged up, moistening her eyes and blurring her vision with tears.
She seemed to have suffered a great injustice, suppressing her emotions all along. Seeing him, she didn’t want to hold back anymore and just wanted to cry her heart our
However, Stephanie didn’t cry. She stubbornly and silently stared at the suddenly appearing Dominick
Her clear eyes were beautiful, glistening with tears like a child holding back the tears.
Her body’s instinctive reaction made her want to stand up from the chair and approach him step by step.
But after standing up, Stephanie tumed around and walked away from him, her steps quick and fleeing.
Diana seemed a bit confused. She looked at the frosty Dominick in front of her, then at Stephanie, who was walking away quickly like she was escaping. Finally, she walked along the cold hospital corridor to the end ward.
Diana was still thinking. Why did Dominick suddenly show up?
Dhana didn’t chase after Stephanie, just stood there,
“Dominick, didn’t you see Stephanie?”
When Vincent rushed over from another elevator, he was surprised to see Dominick standing quietly.
Dominick still had his usual cold demeanor. He looked towards the end of the corridor, his deep and inscrutable eyes hiding some tension.
Vincent thought he didn’t know where Stephanie was and pointed towards the end of the corridor to tell him, “Samantha is in the VIP ward at the end of this floor, and Gary is in the intensive care unit on the seventh floor. Stephanie might be with her grandmother because the doctors don’t allow them to enter after Gary’s surgery
Vincent spoke quickly as he walked briskly forward
“Dominick, don’t you want to see her!” Vincent turned back only to find that Dominick hadn’t followed him.
Vincent found his reaction strange. When they knew that Gary had fallen ill and was hospitalized, Dominick rushed over in a hurry, but now he wasn’t going to see Stephanie.
Dominick looked at the ward at the end of the corridor and surprisingly hesitated.
At that moenen, a burly bodyguard rushed over, panicked. “Mr. Wellington, we’ve retrieved the surveillance footage from Reed Villa, and we’ve

discovered a major incident from the past,”
Vincent was surprised. He didn’t know that Dominick had installed surveillance at Reed Villa.
Just as he was about to ask what had happened, Dominick suddenly spoke. “Go and watch over her?
Vincent hesitated. “What?
“Go now and keep an eye on Stephanie Dominick repeated impatiently, his whole demeanor extremely restless and uneasy.
Vincent swore he wasn’t trying to provoke Dominick, but he just asked, “Dominick, why don’t you go to her?”
Dominick narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze cold and deep, quite eerie, sending a chill down Vincent’s back.
I’m going now.” Vincent immediately responded and strode away.
The bodyguard continued to report seriously to Dominick. Vincent couldn’t hear clearly what they were discussing, but it seemed quite serious. The bodyguard vaguely said. “It was Courtney who sent someone to do it”
