Love After Divorce by BELLA

Chapter 282:

“At that time, I didn’t know how to deal with people. Why did David quarrel with you? Why did he hurt you? I begged you not to leave him, but you insisted. I knew then that you were someone who would rather die than live a miserable life,” Stella murmured softly. “But you fell ill before you could get a divorce…”

Stella always remembered that rainy night when her mother had a high fever, and David wasn’t home. She had tried her best to drag her fainted mother to the hospital. Eventually, her crying woke the housekeeper, who helped get a taxi to rush them to the hospital.

At that moment, Stella knew she could never fully rely on men. Her mother’s experience with David had shown her that depending on him would only lead to pain. She vowed never to walk the same path.

Stella had decided then that she would grow up strong, work hard, and one day be able to support herself and her mother, leaving the Richard family behind forever. But her mother had not lived to see that day.

In Stella’s heart, her mother would always be her mother, but David had died in her heart that night at the hospital. Hatred had begun to grow in her young heart, fueling her determination to keep moving forward.

Her mother hadn’t stayed in the hospital for long. After just a week, she passed away, leaving only a letter for Stella. Everything else was burned, leaving nothing behind.

As a child, Stella had often asked where her mother had gone and why she hadn’t come back.

But over time, she realized the harsh truth—that her mother would never return. Stella had quietly gone into her mother’s room, packed all her belongings, and dragged them into her own room.
