Crossroads

Chapter 36

“What are you doing here!”

As Stephanie pushed open the door to the ward, she encountered Dominick’s cold interrogation.

Stephanie’s gaze fell on Jessica in the hospital bed. She paused for a moment before speaking. “I just…”

“Ms. Reed, I’m not feeling well. Dominick has been with me all this time, and we haven’t done anything else! Please, don’t be mad!”

However, Jessica lying in bed looked timid, as if startled by Stephanie’s sudden appearance. She quickly explained, her voice weak and nervous.

“Stephanie, go back immediately!” Dominick’s voice grew even colder.

Dominick turned to look at the frail and frightened Jessica as if Stephanie had come to cause trouble for the delicate beauty in bed.

Feeling a bit aggrieved by his scolding, Stephanie was also quite angry.

“It was your grandfather who sent me here! If you don’t come home for Christmas, Dominick, then do whatever you want. I couldn’t care less!”

Dominick’s face turned dark.

With a stern face, Stephanie turned and immediately strode away, not wanting to see him.

He almost instinctively went to chase her, but his right hand was held by Jessica on the hospital bed.

“Dominick, don’t make things difficult for her,” Jessica softly pleaded.

“Scott told me that you married her because she was pregnant, following your grandfather’s orders. She’s carrying your child, after all. Don’t be so harsh on her…”

The VIP floor was indeed very quiet, so even Stephanie, who had already walked out, could hear the last thing Jessica said.

“Don’t make things difficult for her.”

“You married her because she was pregnant, following your grandfather’s orders…”

Stephanie was shocked that Jessica, with that gentle voice, was actually pleading with Dominick for her sake. But those words left a bitter feeling in Stephanie’s heart.

Without hesitation, Stephanie walked briskly toward the elevator, her steps seeming a bit hurried as if she was afraid to stay there.

Suddenly, she felt like a third wheel between them.

Stephanie smiled wryly, somewhat humble.

Stephanie didn’t understand why he was so cold just now as if he wouldn’t spare her if she had really hurt Jessica.
