A trace of uncertainty flickered across Kristians eyes as he spoke.
Bella and Stella fell into graveyard silence after hearing the outcome.
Kristian broke the silence and added, Lets all drop this conversation; the incident was just too complicated. Finally, everything is back to the way its supposed to be. Lets all enjoy the peace that comes with it.
After saying that, he exhaled and asked Stella, Do you understand my effort to protect your mother? Do you think I dont want to take revenge? My only desire is to protect your mother. Now that youre here with us, I dare not jeopardize your safety.

Since he was being sincere, if others were persistent in inquiring more from him, it would seem unusual.
Stella nodded in agreement and said, I know. I wont dwell on this matter again. My biggest fear was me not being able to find my mother but now Ive found her, my heart is filled with joy again.
Kristian wore a wide smile on his lips. He turned and said to Matthew, Im glad Stella met such a young genius like yourself, Mr. Clark. I see youre a reliable man. Seeing that Stella is living a good life, I feel less guilty.
A lot of events had taken place in just two days, and Bella was still recovering. After breakfast, she was completely exhausted.
Kristian looked at Bellas feeble state and said to Stella, Youve been here for a long time. Why dont you go home and rest? Let me take over. Now that your mother has woken up, Ill stay here and take care of her.
Stella was still uncertain about it. She didnt want to leave her mothers side. She had just recently found her.
Kristian said, I understand how excited you feel, but your health is far more important. Moreover, we have plenty of time to spend with each other. Just take care of yourself first.
Stella finally agreed.
Kristian let out a sigh of relief. Thank you for understanding and were sorry for all the pain youve suffered all these years. Luckily, you have Mr. Clark with you. Otherwise, I wont have peace within myself for the rest of my life.
He said quite a lot, and even apologized to Stella. But she only Listened without any expression on her face; she wasnt touched by it at all.

Looking at the dark circles around Stellas eyes, Bella couldnt help but convince her to go home. Youve stayed for so long, so go home and freshen up. There is still time to catch up. If there is anything youd like us to discuss, Ill be here; just take your time. Ill have a meal with your grandpa, who raised you, when I leave the hospital.
Hearing her soft voice made Stella tear up, but she didnt want Bella to find her reaction weird, so she forced herself to smile and nod.
Stella unwillingly left the hospital. Bella reminded her about her grandfather. Stella had been staying in the hospital after returning to Seamarsh; she should probably check up on Clint.
Back in the car with Matthew, Stella had her head down and she sat quietly with a gloomy expression on her face.
Are you exhausted? Matthew asked.
Stella joggled her head.
Bella now knows youre her daughter; are you not happy about this?
Stella shook her head and refuted, Of course Im happy. It all just happened so suddenly.
Matthew responded, Weve prepared and investigated this thoroughly. It isnt sudden at all.
Resting her head on Matthews shoulder, Stella confided, Actually, everything feels so surreal right now. I thought Id cry, but instead, I was just overwhelmingly happy. My emotions were so mixed, I couldnt even cry. It all felt Like a dream.
