The wind howled violently, hurting every inch of your skin.
Felt like it was trying to freeze your limbs.
Stella broke free from Nathan's hand and ran to pick up Clarence, whose blood was staining the deck.
Every breath she took was filled with fear.
Stella knelt down in front of Clarence, her hands stained with his blood; her hands holding his face, her
voice trembled. "Clarence, listen to me. Don't listen to anything he says. We'll be fine. You've paid your
debt to him. You hear me?"
Clarence looked at her, his dark eyes closed.
A teardrop falls silent.
Stella held him in her arms, trying to calm him down, but her mind was unable to think, and she was
shaking all over.
A moment later, Clarence put his hand around her waist in a low voice, unable to detect any emotion,
"I'm fine. Don't be afraid."
Stella could no longer contain her sobs. "How could I not be afraid? If you... If you die, I will marry
someone else and take your children with me, and ask them to call someone else Daddy."
Clarence laughed, but his voice grew weaker. "I'm okay with Horace, but not Emmett. However, if you
really like him..."
At the end of the sentence, he could only make some air sounds.
Stella cried even harder and shouted, "Where's the doctor! Why hasn't the doctor come yet?"
At this time, the figure of the doctor finally appeared on the deck in a hurry.
Clarence was laid flat on the floor and first aid was administered.
Nathan stepped forward and helped Stella up, his eyes were also red, "Ma'am, Mr. Conrad will be fine."
Stella could barely stand and she staggered.
She turned her head, looked at the raging sea, and felt dizziness in her head.
The next second, she lost all consciousness and collapsed.
Nathan quickly caught her and shouted, "Doctor, get a doctor!"
When Darnell arrived, the deck was a mess, covered in blood.
The only thing missing was Justin's body.
He looked at the gaping hole on the side of the ship, his brow furrowed slightly.
Darnell asked his men behind him, "How much longer to City N?"
The man said, "Half an hour at the earliest."
Darnell acknowledged him; his eyes fell back on Clarence, the corners of his lips pursed straight.
Two days later.
Stella popped her eyes open and sat up for an instant.
“Stella, you're finally awake. I'll call the Doctor..."
She was about to ring the nurse's bell when Stella grabbed her hand and eagerly asked, "Where's
Clarence?"
Sherry patted her back. “Don't worry, don't worry. He's in the next room.”
Stella lifted up the covers and said, "I'm going to find him."
Sherry pulls her back. "The Doctor said that you were so scared, you could have lost the baby, you need
to stay in bed, and I will let you know as soon as he wakes up.”
Stella bit her lip as she remembered the sight of him covered in blood and burst into tears. "What did the
Doctor Say? Was he hurt badly...?"
“Yes.
.. it was quite serious, one shot to the arm and leg. But the doctor also said that thanks to the timely
treatment and the avoidance of vital organs, the critical period had passed.”
“Did they say when he would wake up?"
Sherry shook her head. "No."
Then she continued, "You sit tight and wait, now that the critical period has passed, it must be a matter of
time before he wakes up, can't have you waiting for him to wake up and you pass out during the
process."
Stella sat on the bed, her head hanging slightly.
Sherry went to unscrew the lid of the thermos next to her. "I figured you'd be up by now. I made you
some chicken porridge this morning. Have some. It'll help you get your strength back."
Stella didn't have much of an appetite, but thinking she had a little guy to feed; she perked up and ate
half of her meal.
Sherry saw that she couldn't eat anymore, so she put away her bowl. "When you get hungry, just tell me.
I'll have Alisa make your favorite food and send it to you."
Stella leaned against the head of the bed before she spoke in a hushed voice. "Sherry, how is it out
there?”
Sherry knew that she was asking about that day and made her bed, sitting next to her, she said, "I heard
that the police came over soon after your return, but said that the cruise ship you were on hand
explosives on it, and no one dared to take it, but the police could not spare boats that could hold
hundreds of people to pick them up.
“There were reporters who followed the police and covered the story, but you didn't see all those once
glory capitalists coming bank with their dirty faces and their profanities."
Stella paused for a moment before saying, “Did they find Justin's body?"
“No, this morning they said they found a woman's body, but the fish had eaten her face-off, and the body
was swollen. The coroner's office is examining it, it could be Modesty," she said, "she deserved to die for
what she did.
Sherry added, “Well, what's the matter with you guys? I've only heard a few words from Nathan, and it's
terrifying. Did you and Clarence Plan this in advance?"
Stella whispered, "When I went to see Modesty, I thought she was strange, a person who has such a
high opinion of herself that she would trample everyone under her feet. There was no reason to cover up
her whole face, only to hide something."
She just couldn't figure out what it was.
It wasn't long before Justin's men found a way to kill Adolph while he was in prison, and that's when
Clarence rescued Adolph.
But Adolph was hurt, too. Vincent did it.
That's why she saw Archer's sleeve covered in blood the other day at the Steward's family.
When Adolph woke up, Stella went to see him once and learned from him why he took the fall for Harris.
Before that, Modesty showed up, called him a few times, asked him out, and he said no.
But suddenly, a group of men burst into the casino, and Adolph was taken away.
At the Conrad family, he saw Stella.
Adolph was not aware of the feud between Justin and Clarence, and Justin recalled that he and Jeffrey
had been partners in the sale of Stella to Twilight Club and told him that it was time for him to pay the
debt.
Adolph did not think much of it; he owed it to Stella and gave in to their request.
He didn't know it was a conspiracy until Clarence rescued him.
Well, if that's the case, then whoever was in the Conrad family was definitely not Stella.
When Sherry heard this, her eyes couldn't help but widened, "So it was... Modesty Parker? She had a
plastic surgery to make
herself look you?"
