Crossroads

Chapter 345

Samantha was just overly anxious, and a temporary spike in blood pressure caused her to faint. Her health wasn’t seriously affected. When Stephanie entered the ward, Samantha had already woken up.

*Steff, how is your dad now?” Samantha asked anxiously as soon as she opened her eyes.

Stephanie stood at the head of Samantha’s bed, looking down into Samantha’s aged, cloudy eyes. Her throat felt choked, and she didn’t know how

Diana was stunned for half a second, not knowing what she was asking.

Stephanie turned her head and glanced at the hospital bed, taking a deep breath. “Does Grandma know, like me, that I’m not Cary’s biological daughter?”
