Alle Kapitel von You Saved Her and Let Our Son Die. Don’t Start Crying Now: Kapitel 41 – Kapitel 50

Riley paused, studying Hunter with a suspicious squint. “Hunter, has Stella put some kind of spell on you? Why are you sticking up for her all of a sudden?”She leaned in closer. “Don't tell me... you’ve actually fallen for her?”“Impossible,” Hunter shot back instantly.Riley’s gaze remained probing. “Then why refuse to divorce her? And why the sudden urge to defend her?”Hunter pressed his lips together, the emotion in his dark eyes impossible to read.For a moment, even he felt a little lost.That was right. He didn’t like Stella. So why was he suddenly unwilling to divorce her?When Riley saw that he had no answer, she didn’t press him further. She just sighed and said, “Well, I guess even if you don’t get divorced, you and Gwen can still keep loving each other.“On the other hand, if you really do divorce, Stella has been married to you for five years. There are so many financial ties between you two that she would probably walk away with a huge chunk of the Ford family’s

This kind of sudden fame only brought even more criticism, with plenty of people accusing Zac of chasing attention and building a reputation he didn’t deserve.Because of that, he had done everything he could to lower his profile.Zac had even stayed out of the public eye for an entire year.He had assumed that with enough time, things would settle down and people would gradually forget, so when his itinerary was leaked, he hadn’t thought much of it.He hadn’t expected the situation to be completely beyond what he imagined.“What are we supposed to do now?” Pete asked, frustrated. “Should you maybe go say hello to them? At this rate, with how obsessed they are with you, I don’t think they will leave unless they see you.”Zac glanced at his phone. “I don’t have time. I’m meeting someone.”Pete paced back and forth, caught in a bind. “But you can’t get out now. They all recognize you. The second you step out there, they’ll know it’s you. Wait. Why are you looking at me like that?”

Zac’s arrival caught both Calvin and Wendy off guard.Calvin looked embarrassed. He couldn’t exactly take his frustration out on Zac, so he turned on Stella instead. “If you were waiting for a friend, why didn’t you say so earlier?”Stella almost laughed. “Did you give me a chance to say anything?”And even if she had, Calvin probably wouldn’t have believed her.“Alright, if she was waiting for a friend, then we should stop bothering her and get going,” Wendy said with a smile, stepping in to smooth things over.Calvin was still in a bad mood, but he had no choice except to leave it at that and walk away.Wendy grabbed Jodie, who was still standing there in a daze, and started toward the gate with her.But before leaving, Wendy couldn’t help glancing back again.In her memory, Stella had always been a loner.Since when had she made a friend like this?And judging by the way he carried himself, he clearly wasn’t ordinary.As she was thinking that, Jodie suddenly stopped, turn

Zac fell silent and cast a dry look around the completely enclosed airport terminal.Realizing how weak her “sand in the eyes” excuse was, Stella panicked and hurriedly said, “My foot really hurts.”Zac looked at her foot again, the one she had seemingly only just remembered was painful.Stella pressed her lips together, unable to come up with any other excuse.The truth was, she knew perfectly well that even if she came up with another one, Zac would see right through it.At that point, any further attempt to hide her feelings was a waste of breath.In the end, she simply fell silent.Fortunately, Zac had no intention of making fun of her. He glanced at her increasingly red eyes, said nothing more, and quickened his pace toward the hospital. In a low voice, almost as if he were talking to himself, he said, “It’ll be over soon. It won’t hurt anymore.”Stella nodded silently. Yes, once was enough. She would never let herself hurt like this again.Luckily, even though the pain

“What a poser,” Eugene muttered under his breath.He was just about to leave when his gaze drifted toward where Zac was headed. The moment his eyes landed on the slender woman sitting on the bench, he paused slightly.*Meanwhile, after leaving the Ford estate, Gwen talked with Hunter about everything that had happened that night.She was in a very good mood.Almost everyone knew why she had come to the Ford estate that evening.From the moment she arrived, she had been carefully watching the way each member of the Ford family reacted to her.There was no question that Riley strongly approved of the idea of her being with Hunter. If anything, she seemed to be hoping for it.Kenneth was a businessman who always put the family’s interests first. He wouldn’t go out of his way to bring her and Hunter together, but he wouldn’t stand in their way either.As for Mrs. Ford Sr., Gwen didn’t know her all that well, but she understood older people. She figured Mrs. Ford Sr. was only havi
