“I saw the online video of that car wreck. The car Stella was in was completely wrecked. I need to hear her voice to ease my mind.”
Patiently, Matthew explained, “Stella is resting. I’ll have her call you when she wakes up.”
After a pause, he changed the subject.
“By the way, was there a car accident in Stella’s past before you adopted her?”
Clint fell unexpectedly silent at this question.

His silence confirmed some of Matthew’s suspicions.
“The video of Stella’s car accident twenty years ago has surfaced. It has been confirmed the family of three in the video were Stella and her parents.”
After a prolonged silence, Clint sighed.
“It’s time to disclose the truth.”
Matthew didn’t respond, waiting quietly.
“In reality, Stella wasn’t abandoned at the orphanage. Her mother entrusted her to me.”
“Do you recall what her mother looked like?”
Clint sighed.
“I can’t remember, but I believe she’s still alive.”
After the call, Matthew lingered in the corridor before returning to the ward.

Stella had awoken.
She sat on the bed, fixated on a photo of herself and Farris from their younger days.
Putting his phone away, Matthew closed the door and approached her slowly.
He embraced her, planting a gentle ki*s on her forehead.
“Your grandpa called just now, worried about you. I assured him you’re fine.
You need to stay strong too.”
Stella’s eyes remained fixed on the photo. Trying to contain her sorrow, she croaked, “Why is life so unpredictable?”
Wasn’t this the very thing Farris wanted to convey before the accident?
He had the chance to disclose in person that he was Calan.
