As Stella and Lucia talked, Matthew returned to the living room with the two older men.
After exchanging a few words, Waldo noticed Lucias teary eyes and asked sympathetically, What were you discussing that moved you so much?
Wiping her tears, Lucia shook her head and said, I feel deeply sorry for Stella. Shes endured so much since childhood. After all these years, she finally found her biological mother.
Both Waldo and Clint were taken aback.
Clint, especially, was shocked. He hadnt expected Stella to reveal the truth to her mother so quickly. Just the day before in Bysea, she was still grappling with the situation, and now, it was resolved in a single day.
Did your mother accept you? Clint asked.
Stella nodded and said, Yes.
Why did you decide so suddenly? Clint inquired, still surprised.
Stella explained, Yesterday, Matthew and I had to leave abruptly because my mother was in a car accident. I had been hesitant about disclosing our relationship to her. But after yesterdays events, I realized I cant always be so cautious and indecisive. If theres something to say, we shouldnt wait because we might not get another chance.
Clint noticed that Stellas eyes were slightly red as she spoke. He sighed and said, Sometimes, what we worry about turns out to be less daunting than we imagine.
Stella nodded, smiling. Yes, it turns out revealing the truth to my mother wasnt as difficult as I imagined.
Seeing her happiness, Clint felt genuinely pleased for her. How is your mother now? Is her injury serious?
Shes doing well. The doctor said she can be discharged after a few more days of observation, Stella replied.

After Clint asked about Bellas condition, Waldo chimed in, Your mother is Bella, the famous designer in Dorburn?
Stella confirmed, Yes, thats her.
Almost everyone present was delighted by the news. With a smile, Waldo remarked, No wonder youre so talented in design. It turns out you inherited it from your mother.
Lucia beamed with happiness. Now Stella will have one more person to love her in the future.
This joyous news lifted everyones spirits, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
Waldo remarked, Stella, its wonderful that youve found your mother. Once shes recovered, we should celebrate with a dinner together. Matthew, please arrange it.
Stella and Matthew exchanged happy smiles at this suggestion.
As the conversation revolved around Stellas mother, Lindsay found herself unable to say a word. She felt completely ignored by everyone.
Her frustration grew when she saw Stella and Matthew exchange affectionate smiles, as if they were an inseparable pair.
However, this was the Clark family home. To avoid arousing suspicion from Waldo and Lucia, she had to feign happiness despite her growing unhappiness, which only deepened her frustration.
