Skyler took a quick scan of Colten then turned to Estelle and mocked, “Estelle, you’re something, aren’t you? That’s quick of you to find someone to replace me.”Estelle tried to explain. “You’re mistaken…”Cutting her off, Skyler added. “Am I though? Zayne begged me to visit you right away and said that you’re dying. But you seem perfectly fine to me, seeing how you still have the will to flirt with someone else.” Estelle’s face hardened. “You’re being unreasonable, Skyler.”“I’m not here to reason with you.”“Then why are you here?”“Zayne said that you’re dying. I’m here to see if that’s the case, or if you’re just up to one of your tricks again just to get me to come to you.”Estelle suddenly felt exhausted. “I’m...you know what, forget it. See it the way you want.”She had enough of explaining herself all the time. She lived her days explaining herself for the past five years and she decided that it was enough.Every day, she tried to explain that she had nothing to do

Skyler left the ward afterward and headed downstairs.His phone rang and it was Camilla who was calling. “Hello?”“Skyler, where were you? I tried asking Zayne but he stammered all the while and was reluctant to let me know.”Skyler took a deep breath and tried to regain his composure. “I’m out dealing with some business. Is your ankle better now? I’ll be back soon.”“...You went to see Miss Sanders, am I right?”“No, I didn’t. She’s not worth my time.” denied Skyler.At the other end of the call, Camilla stayed silent for a while. She then hinted, “Why don’t you visit her? If her condition’s okay, you can urge her to hurry the divorce procedure. I can’t possibly stay with you without getting married.”When Camilla brought up the divorce, for some reason, Skyler suddenly felt annoyed. “...We’ll get divorced sooner or later anyway, it doesn’t matter when. All right now, Camilla, you’re still injured so don’t go worrying yourself with all these matters. Get some rest.”Camill

The Sander family’s house was by the riverfront. It was a mansion with three floors. The place was quite old now. When Estelle arrived, she realized that the place looked different. She always loved the stars, hence her dad especially changed the front gate of the mansion into a star-shaped pattern. As she was the only daughter of the Sander family, her parents showered her with love and gave her everything she wanted. The star-shaped gate was now gone, and it was replaced by a bunch of gleaming gold-plated rosebush instead. It looked both gaudy and tawdry as if the owner of the house was showing off his wealth. Judging by the looks of it, Estelle knew that it was the work of her uncle as his sense of aesthetic was just plain bad. After ringing the doorbell, the maid opened the door and hurriedly welcomed her into the house. “Milady, you’re finally home!”It was such a long while since she was home. After the car accident six years ago, her uncle and his family moved into

Staring hard at the person in front of her, Estelle finally recognized the beautiful young lady after some time. Though she was still quite unsure. She asked carefully, “...Abigail Sloan?”“Yeap, that’s me!” Flicking her brown hair, Abigail asked, “Why are you here? Are you sick? You don’t look too good.”Estelle pulled up a smile forcefully. “It’s my mom, she’s sick. Abigail, you look so different! You’ve changed so much.”Upon hearing her compliments, Abigail felt embarrassed. “Yeah, I remember how tanned and fat I was back in high school. I was always teased and bullied by the boys but you always stood up for me. Oh right, aren’t you married to Skyler?”“...I am.”They were indeed married, though they were to be parted soon. Too many things happened in the prior years and she did not know where to begin. Abigail was happy for her and Skyler. “I was envious of you back then. You were pretty and had good grades. You were even the committee member of the performing arts club

Estelle went frantic. Reaching for her phone, she dialed Skyler’s number but she remembered that he blocked her number.Hence, she borrowed a phone from a nurse and dialed the string of familiar numbers. Beep——Sure enough, the call went through easily.“Skyler Flynn! Who gave you the right to take away my daughter?”“Miss Sanders?”Estelle furrowed her brows upon hearing the familiar voice. “Is that you, Camilla? Where’s Skyler? I need to talk to him!”“Skyler’s in the shower right now. I can pass him the message.”“Where’s my daughter? Did you ask Skyler to take my daughter away from me?” fumed Estelle.Feeling pleased, Camilla replied nonchalantly, “Yes, I did. I suffered a miscarriage while you happily gave birth to a child. Skyler couldn’t bear to see me in despair, so he decided to let me have your daughter instead. It’s such a pity that your son left for the US. I wanted to have him too, you know.”“What in the world are you trying to do? Come for me if you have any
