Sebastian was a weakling, and Robert was the one to boost him up. Now, Stella's demand was like a stab to Robert's heart.

"You... How could I have raised a daughter like you? He's your brother. How can you-"

"He's not my brother!"

Robert's words were cut off by Stella's sharp interruption.

She gazed at him with a darkening expression as she continued, "My mom only gave birth to me."

Robertfell silent. Her words hit Robert in a raw spot once again.

Robert was about to say something else when Madelyn entered the ward.

Robert's expression shifted upon seeing Madelyn.

Thinking that he and Stella hadn't finished their discussion, he reluctantly addressed Madelyn, "Mrs. Miller, there are still some family matters I need to discuss with Stella. Can you-"

"There's nothing for us to discuss. Once Sebastian disappears from Klago City, I'll have Tristan withdraw the charges," Stella declared firmly.

Before Robert could get Madelyn to leave, Stella's sharp retort had cut him off completely. Her tone was unwavering, leaving no room for negotiation.

Robert ultimately stormed off in a fit of anger because of Stella.

Madelyn sat on a chair beside the hospital bed and handed a peeled orange to Stella.

"Thank you."

Stella quietly accepted Madelyn's offer.

"Carrie said I'm not taking good care of you, and I think she's right," Madelyn muttered unexpectedly.

Stella was puzzled by Madelyn's words and looked at the latter.

Madelyn picked up another orange to peel.

Stella said, "I only want to eat one.

Madelyn replied, "I want to eat this one myself."

Stella nodded in understanding, and they lapsed into silence.

Madelyn quietly peeled the orange, popping a wedge into her mouth. Its sweet tang dispersed the heaviness in her heart.

Then, she asked Stella, "Have you not returned to the Oliver residence?"

The Oliver family was Stella's grandmother's side of the family. The Oliver family was also prominent and wealthy in Klago City.

After Stella's mother passed away, Stella immediately went abroad. Although Stella had maintained sporadic contact with the Olivers over the years, she seldom returned.

Abigail had dared to be so audacious In Madelyn's previous life, perhaps because of the estrangement between Stella and the Olivers.

estrangement from the Olivers.

But now, Stella likely needed the Olivers more than ever. Stella's expression visibly changed at the

mention of the Olivers.

"Stell," Madelyn called out.

"You probably don't know, do you?"

"What?"

"Abigail is my grandmother's niece."

Madelyn's heart skipped a beat at this revelation. The intricacies of their relationship were far more complex than she had imagined.

Stella felt a deep-seated aversion toward Abigail. Every mention of the latter nauseated Stella.

But at that moment, when Madelyn asked, she still said, "Her mother is my mom's cousin. When my mom. passed away, this matter didn't escalate because of this relationship. Stella's tone held a hint of bitterness when she spoke.

Madelyn was shocked.

Realizing the situation, she asked again, "What about you?"

“།

Was sent abroad because of my grandmother's suggestion!" Stella exclaimed.

Madelyn was left speechless at this disclosure, realizing the weight of Stella's past.

When Kayla faced tragedy back then, Robert had brought Abigail and Sebastian, who was older than Stella, home.

Stella detested Robert for this, even to the point of wanting to kill both Abigail and Sebastian.

In the end, she got Abigail hospitalized and was sent out of the country the following day.

Over the years, Madelyn had been curious. After all, Kayla was the daughter of the Oliver family. She wondered how the Oliver family allowed Robert to send Stella away back then. Even afterward, this matter remained unknown in Klago City. It turned out that the Oliver family also had a hand in suppressing the incident.
