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

Samantha, anxious, grabbed her tightly. “Steffi, your dad will definitely get

Samantha repeated this hoarsely as if praying. Her old hands tightly gripped Stephanie’s left hand, the force heavy, as now Stephanie was her only support.

Stephanie also held Samantha’s hand tightly, her head lowered, and softly replied, “Grandma, Dad will get better. Don’t worry too much.”

Samantha knew that at this time, she shouldn’t be adding to their troubles, and she was being rational. She understood Stephanie’s character, which wasn’t as delicate as that of an ordinary girl. Stephanie wasn’t good at coaxing or comforting people, but every word she said was sincere.

Samantha looked at Stephanie’s beautiful face and nodded reassuringly, murmuring sadly, “Gary will definitely pull through”

Diana also arrived just in time, and after glancing at the already awake yet sad Samantha, she breathed a sigh of relief,

Stephanie gestured to Diana, and the two walked towards the small balcony in the ward.

“Does Grandma know everything?” Stephanie asked calmly.

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?”
