Chapter 99 Are You Still Smoking?
Stella could not see the features of the baby in the man’s arms, but she yearned to take a look. The child’s mother was around the same age as her, and at the sight of the blissful young family, she couldn’t help but felt slightly envious.
On the other hand, Miles followed her gaze and understood her feelings.
“If it was not for Zane, you could have become a mother by now,” he said wistfully. At the painful reminder, her eyes dimmed in hurt and disappointment. If only she had known her aborted child could be as cute as the baby in the couple’s arms, she would not have aborted it.
“Did you want an abortion for me when I got pregnant?” she asked him.
“No.”
She lowered her head and, for the first time, felt a gut-wrenching pain for the unborn child. Turning her face away from him, she changed the topic and asked, “Are you still smoking?”
“Yeah.”
“Well, then don’t. I bought you an e-cigarette, didn’t I?”
“I’ve been smoking for years. It’s not easy to quit.” He protested in a grumbling tone to express his frustration at her nagging.
Therefore, she promptly shut up after noticing his tone. Soon, she added, “I had wanted to transfer the 500,000 to you at the bank. But the crash happened, so I will only make the transfer a few days later.” Last time, Miles had met up with her at Murdough to discuss the investment while on a business trip.
Despite his busy schedule, he had never turned her down when she requested to meet up. Every time, he’d ‘drop by’ with the convenient excuse of attending a meeting in Murdough. Even if she was usually slow to get the hint, she had sensed something unusual in his behavior.
His phone buzzed from Matthew’s incoming message. ‘Quick, you should buy her a car! I heard that she was driving the car that Zane bought her before the crash.’
Matthew knew this fact from his conversation with Stella’s staff. However, in the middle of Stella’s worrying emergency, he chose to omit the details and focus on the car crash. Now that Miles was in Murdough beside Stella, Matthew was finally in the right mood to reveal the specifics.
‘And the reason is?’ Miles replied swiftly, demanding the reason behind Zane’s gift.
‘That’s too obvious. You don’t need me to explain, do you?’ Matthew answered.
At the same time, Stella cocked her head and stared at Miles, so he quickly put his phone away.
After a two-day stay at the hospital, Stella was discharged because the doctor concluded that her injuries were not severe and there were no observable signs of a concussion.
During her hospitalization, Miles had been attending meetings in Murdough and dropping by to visit her occasionally. On the second day after she was discharged, he made plans to drive home to Hollowcrest City, much to her surprise.
