Chapter 113

“It’s your fault my son’s in this state?” the woman spat. “Get out of my face!”

The harsh hospital lights glared down, highlighting the red handprint on Stephanie’s cheek. She was stunned by the slap, her eyes filled with a mix of emotions as she looked at the unfamiliar, elegant middle aged woman before her.

Her cheek, burned with pain, and she lowered her head slightly, tears welling up in her eyes…

This was Dominick’s mother.

“…I just wanted to see him.” Stephanie stood up straight, trying to speak in a calm tone.

“Who let her in here? Get her out of here!”

The woman’s face was dark with anger. She didn’t want to hear a word Stephanie said and shouted at the bodyguards beside her.

“Mary, I brought her here.”

From the staircase, Vincent came running over, urgently explaining as he panted.

“Vincent?” Mary’s face was still tight with anger as she glared at Vincent, who seemed to be taking the side of this so–called wife of Dominick’s. “Get this woman out of my sight, now,” she said, her voice cold and resolute.

Usually, Mary was considered dignified and graceful, but with her only son lying in a hospital bed, critically injured, her emotions had been

all over the place these last few days.

“Mary, the car accident had nothing to do with Stephanie. She just came by to visit…” Vincent tried to persuade her gently.

Mary, in her forties, still exuded an elegant charm. She was a Fluviora mix, an international top–tier pianist in her youth. Her beauty and stunning figure were complemented by an innate grace, a trait she seemed to have passed on to Dominick.

“Vincent…” The commotion outside the door had drawn a delicate–looking girl in a college uniform out of the room. She had a somewhat shy demeanor as she softly called out.

Then, she looked at Stephanie. “Are you… Dominick’s wife?”

That was Yvonne Wellington, Dominick’s little sister. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she timidly hid behind Mary, peeking at Stephanie
