StarNovelStellas words struck a nerve, and Lindsay was momentarily stunned, her heart racing uncontrollably.
Reacting without thought, she shoved Stella aside, her gaze darting away as she muttered, I have no idea what youre talking about.
A brief flash of fear crossed Lindsays face, but she quickly masked it with defiance, her voice rising.
Ive done nothing wrong! Youre the one who destroyed everything.
Matthew and I were perfectly fine until you interfered.
Youre the intruder who shattered our Lives! Stella chuckled coolly and retorted, When I married Matthew, there was no mention of an ex.
Tell me, how does that makethe interloper? And lets not forget-before his memory loss, Matthew was indifferent to you.
You know it too well.
If he recalls everything and discovers what youve been doing, what do you think will happen? Lindsays hands trembled before clenching tightly, her knuckles whitening as her nails dug into her palms.
Through gritted teeth, she declared, Even if Matthew regains his memory, he wont turn his back on me.
I sacrificed my ability to walk for him-hell never abandon me.

Lets see if it holds. Lindsays breathing grew uneven, and she suddenly gripped her chest, her complexion paling rapidly.
Stella blinked, startled by Lindsays visible distress.
She hadnt expected her remarks to cut this deep.
Before she could react further, a firm hand yanked her back.
Matthew rushed to Lindsays side, his voice filled with concern.
Are you alright? Whats happening? Tears brimmed in Lindsays eyes as she weakly shook her head.
Im fine, Matthew, really fine.
Her gaze shifted toward Stella, though, silently blaming her as the cause.
Turning toward Stella, Matthews tone was icy.
What did you say to her? You know the doctor warned against anything that could upset her.
Dont you care? Stella met his glare with a calm expression.
I didnt do anything to her.
Shes overreacting.
Lindsay quickly reached for Matthews arm, speaking hurriedly.
Dont be angry with Stella, please.
This was just sudden-its not her fault.
At that moment, Fernando arrived and felt quite overwhelmed as he took in the tense scene.
He braced himself and stepped forward.
Seeing him, Matthew barked an order.
Fernando, take Lindsay to the car.
Were heading to the hospital now.
Without hesitation, Fernando nodded.
Yes, Mr.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClark.
Matthew started to follow Fernando but halted near Stella, his voice tinged with irritation.
Stella, cant you just stop stirring things up? Youre always at the center of these problems. As they walked away, Stella stood motionless, bitterness welling up as it struck her that Matthew once more blamed her for instigating conflict with Lindsay. Her lips curled into a faint, self-deprecating smirk.
From the kitchen, Erin noticed the quiet return and cautiously peeked out.
Spotting only Stella, she asked tentatively, Would you like something to eat? Stella responded faintly, III freshen up first. With that, she headed upstairs.
At breakfast, Stella barely touched her food, pushing it aside after a few it bites and heading directly to the studio. Not long after she arrived, Dexter entered to give her an update.
Dexter said, Mrs.
Clark, our investigation has confirmed that the deceased was Hiram Duffy.
He has a younger brother and a seriously ill mother back in his hometown.
A week after the chandelier incident, a large sum of money was deposited into his brothers account.
Additionally, someone mentioned that before his death, Hiram kept boasting about striking it rich.
He even claimed that once he closed the big deal, hed introduce them to Robin.
