Crossroads

Chapter 62

“That year, the landlady mercilessly kicked me out and threw my luggage onto the road as rubbish. You can never understand the

humiliation and helplessness…”

Stephanie sat on the hospital bed, lowered her head, and whispered about the past.

“Diana and I just left Reed Villa, and we were quite strapped for money, so we lived in a low–rent apartment. I applied for housing in my senior year of high school. Diana cooked at home to save money. That day was my birthday, and she wanted to make fried food for me. Unexpectedly…

Stephanie’s voice trailed off. “The house was on fire.

“When I rushed back from school, the fire in the kitchen had been put out. The landlady immediately kicked us out and asked for a compensatory payment of 4,000 dollars, but at that time, we only had 160 dollars…”

Stephanie looked at them intently. Dominick and those young heirs from rich families would not understand how helpless and humble one was without money. Dignity was nothing in front of money.

Diana’s right arm was burned, but she wore a long–sleeved T–shirt to hide the injury from Stephanie.

They had no money to pay for the compensation to the landlady, so they had to endure insults and curses.

Diana couldn’t pay the medical fee, so she endured the pain from the burn.

“That night, we huddled on the street corner like homeless people, not knowing what to do. A kind person gave us hot meals, let us stay in her house temporarily, and lent us money so that Diana could go to the hospital for treatment of the burn…”

Stephanie paused for a moment, and a trace of complexion flashed across her face. She tugged at the hem of Dominick’s clothes.

“I accidentally caused this bleeding because of my carelessness…” Her voice was low, dripping with pleading.

She guessed that there was something wrong with the mango juice that Regina gave her that day, and she knew that Dominick and the others could definitely figure it out. However, there were some things that she was unwilling to reveal.

Stephanie had a grateful heart. She could remember someone’s kindness forever.

She was a little worried. After all, Dominick and the others were not ordinary people. If they wanted to deal with Regina, she could never change their minds.

“Why don’t you remember the person who harmed you?”

Dominick stood beside the bed, looking down at her side face with sharp eyes. He suppressed his anger and suddenly spoke coldly.

Kevin had treated Stephanie like that before, but after he had saved her once, she could actually calm down and talk to him.

“My heart is so small. Why should I remember these unhappy things to annoy myself?”

Stephanie looked up at Dominick. Her eyes were clear and bright.

Dominick pressed his lips tightly and fell silent for a moment when he looked into her eyes.

After listening to what Stephanie had just said about the past, Vincent and Scott were a little surprised and didn’t speak anymore. They looked at each other and finally looked at Dominick
