Chapter 10

Steven warned himself that he shouldn't care about her one month later, so he also should not investigate what happened to her. He didn't care about her. Why should he investigate? Every night, Stella would go to Steven's villa for sex. Neither of them asked about each other's recent situation. Stella would secretly send messages to the doctor. Steven pretended not to see it, but several times, he saw she deleted messages after the conversation finished. If it wasn't a secret relationship, why did she do this? He had been curious many times and wanted to check her cell phone when she fell asleep, but she had turned off her phone before sleep. It needed a password to turn on the phone, so he had to turn off her phone again. However, it was strange that since she came back, no matter how heavy the work pressure was, Steven could sleep without sleeping pills. And he could sleep uninterruptedly until morning. Stella got up earlier than him and never disturbed his sleep. Steven wanted to get up earlier than her to see what she had done after got up. But every time he woke up, there was no one around. He felt that there was something wrong with him. He was looking forward to a month's deadline, but occasionally when he thought of time running out, he began to worry. What if she still needed money in the future? If she did not gamble, it would be fine. There was no end of gambling. If she lost all at once, would she sleep with others to offset the gambling money? Thinking of this, he lost his sleep again. He finally knew when she got up. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and put on clothes. She walked toward the bed and stood beside him. He felt her approaching to kissing his forehead. "Good morning." She turned around and left. He lay stiffly on the bed, motionless. Was she going to leave like this every morning? His heart was squeezed, feeling suffocated and painful. On the last night of this month, Stella hadn't returned to his villa yet at 10 o'clock p.m. Steven was a little flustered. He wanted to make a phone call, but he felt that it was not worth it. When it was almost 12 o'clock, he was about to make a phone call when the lock of the door was pressed. Today, She wore casual clothes and flats. She walked in slowly. She carried some food and walked into the living room. When she saw him sitting on the sofa and watching the news on his mobile phone, she smiled and said, "You haven't slept yet? I bought some dishes. How about I cook them for you as a night snack?" For a month, she had never brought up the idea of cooking. She took out the vegetables from the environmental bag. This was not a night snack but the last dinner. It turned out that she was counting time, too. Steven did not answer. He stood up and went upstairs. "I don't eat snacks at night." "It's okay. I did it now and you can have a try tomorrow. If you don't like it, you can dump it." Her voice was as brisk as ever, and there was even no sadness in it. She said to herself while washing vegetables, "‌Ever tried scrambled eggs with spinach? Heard it from a buddy inside.‌ I haven't made it before. Come on, give it a shot." "‌Canned tomatoes are magic. Throw 'em in, gives just about anything a boost.‌" "‌Beef helps keep your bones strong.‌" "‌Another tip: gotta pan-fry your fish fillets real good first. Sear 'em crispy golden brown. Makes the soup richer, thicker, like a creamy chowder.‌" Steven didn't leave. He couldn't move as if he had been fixed. He watched her make the dishes and then put them on the table one by one. Her cooking skills were not very good, either too salty or tasteless. But he had eaten a lot. When she was lying on the bed, she did not approach Steven to seduce him as before. Instead, she lay quietly on the bed. When Steven pressed over her, she was not as coquettish as before. She kept saying, "I'm a little uncomfortable today. Don't be too hard. Be gentle." She spoke as if she was protecting something. Steven didn't want to sleep at first, but this month's sleep was really good and he felt at ease. Stella was very careful when she got up. She brushed her teeth, washed her face, and cleaned up everything. She stared at the mirror with her hands stroking her belly. She was pregnant. Finally pregnant. Daisy was saved. From now on, they returned to their own ways. Stella walked to Steven. This time, she did not kiss his forehead as she did in the past morning. Instead, she looked at his handsome face with tears in her eyes. "Steven, farewell!" - When Steven woke up, he subconsciously touched the bedside, but it was empty. He suddenly sat up and got out of bed. This month, all the toiletries of Stella were placed here, and servants had prepared slippers for her. And these things were gone. Even the toothbrush and cup were cleaned up. A month had passed and it was over. He thought that when this day came, he would not be disturbed. All he needed to do was to work as usual. However, as time went by, he became more and more uncertain. Since he couldn't sleep at night, he could only take out the sleeping pills and eat them again. The money he gave her could be spent for a period of time. She knew his generosity. If she had no money, she would definitely come to him again. But she didn't. After three months, she didn't call him again. Steven was sitting in the president's office. He looked at his assistant and asked, "Did Miss. Spencer contact you?" "No." "What's her news outside?" "I haven't heard of it. Mr. Green, the money you gave her last time is enough for her to buy a car and a house, and live a good life. You don't have to worry." "She gambles. No amount of money is enough. I want you to find out whether she has gambled recently or if she has something to do with other people?" Steven himself refused to admit it that what he was most worried about was that she already found another man. She was blessed with extreme beauty, not to mention her ability to work. How could there be no man willing to spend money on her? Half an hour later, the assistant walked into his office. "Mr. Green, Miss Spencer has left the city three months ago. There is no news about her." Steven stood up abruptly. What did it mean that there was no news? Did she disappear forever? There was sweat on his back, and even his strong body couldn't help trembling. He clenched his fist and pressed it on the table. "Okay, don't investigate her anymore. Whether she's alive or dead, you don't have to care!" Steven walked out of the office and felt as if he was stepping on the clouds. His footsteps were very weak. Even if he had sent Stella to prison, he did not feel such serious like this time. The car drove all the way to prison. Steven got off the car and looked at the high walls and the iron gate. Two years and seven months later, the woman stayed inside to atone for his father's sins. That was what the Spencer family owed him! He didn't need to feel guilty! What kind of man had a relationship with her in this high wall? He had to kill him! However, Steven spared no effort but failed to find out who was the man related to Stella, but he discovered that she had given birth to a baby girl. The medical record said that a kidney was missing during the cesarean section. The medical records add that the kidney was transplanted at the age of 23 years old. What was written in the column of the transplant object was...
