“Stephie…
When Steven woke up, his face was as pale as a corpse.

“Stephie!” Steven sat up in a panic, reaching to pull out the IV nece in his hand.
“Steven, are you crazy?” Eason stopped Steven and yelled angrily, “Hold still!”
Eason’s fingers were wrapped in gauze. He was badly bitten by Steven in the car earlier.
“Get lost!” Steven pushed Eason away, forcefully pulling out the IV needle and rushing out of the
ward.
“Steven, stop being so crazy!” Eason pushed Steven hard.
Steven red at Eason angrily. “You promised… that you would protect her for me. That’s why I
agreed to
your n!”
Steven’s voice was trembling as he grabbed Eason’s cor and punched him in the face with a
bloodied
fist.
But now? Stephie and his child were gone…
Eason fell to the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. He felt a bit guilty. “This… was my fault.
You
suddenly ran out of the asylum, and I was caught off guard. I didn’t have time to prepare.
“I didn’t expect Dax to lose control and go after you and Stephany just because Martin provoked
him..
“You deserve to die too…” Steven’s emotions were out of control as he grabbed Eason’s cor and
punched him again.
Eason was also frustrated. “You’re the one who wanted to prove your innocence. You almost died
for
Stephanie before. And now, you’re doing it all over again for a fake one…
“Stop hitting me… I was wrong, okay? I owe you one for this…
“Stop hitting my face!”
I stood at the door, my fingers tingling.
It was Eason who asked Steven to go into the asylum?
What had Steven done for me all this time?
“Steven…” I called out his name softly, my voice hoarse.
Steven’s body stiffened. He looked up at me helplessly and lowered his head nervously.
He wanted to run over and hug me, but he was afraid I would me him. So, he lowered his head
and dared not speak.
I walked over. Ignoring Eason’s swollen face, I choked out the words, “Steven… hug me.”
Steven’s eyes welled up with tears in an instant. He stood up and saw me with my arms
open. He suddenly pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.
Eason wanted to exin further, but he was stopped by Zion and Rachel. They each gave him a
kick before dragging him out by the cor.
The door of the ward closed. We listened to each other’s heartbeats in the enclosed and quiet
environment.
“Stephie… I’m sorry. It’s all my fault.” Steven med himself, holding my hand tightly. He hated
himself.
He hated himself for not protecting me.
All idents could not be fully predicted, and life was the same. idents happened. But we
couldn’t let idents stop us from moving forward.
“Steven, we have to live on…” I whispered, patting Steven’s back. “Our baby… was just Martin’s
first warning to us.”
The old dogs hunt the best. Martin could reach his current position, even going so far as to use one
of his ipetent sons as a pawn. This showed how deep and ruthless his schemes were.
“Even if Martin sessfully takes over the Lincoln Group now, the shares of the Lincoln Group are
still in our hands…” I took a deep breath and looked up at Steven. “We need support.”
I looked at Steven seriously.
At this point, if we didn’t have strong support and partners, we would be too passive in front of
Martin.
Ewan told me that the president of Crowdstar Group is someone Martin wants to curry favor with.
We
have the shares of the Lincoln Group in our hands, and we’re easier to control than Martin.
“Martin, who has a dark history, will run into trouble sooner orter. If the president of Crowdstar
Group is
smart, he should know what to choose.”
I was confident that if I met with the president of Crowdstar Group, I could convince him to
coborate
with us instead of taking a risk by working with Martin.
