Stella Monroe called out "Mom" nonstop, which made the hesitant Henry Stanton finally make up his mind.
He clenched his fist and said, "Alright, that’s what we’ll do. But... I hope we can keep this secret. We don’t want strangers gossiping when Stella gets better."
Sumr Monroe sneered inwardly, is he afraid of losing face?
But on the surface, Sumr eagerly nodded in agreent, "Dad, you’re right. For Mom’s reputation, the treatnt should be conducted in secrecy. The fewer people who know, the better."
Saying this, Sumr’s gaze fell on Damian Knight.
Damian Knight assured confidently, "Don’t worry, Dad, I’ll handle this. I’ll contact Isaac Ross and have him arrange for the hospital to send soone to take care of it secretly."
Henry Stanton let out a long sigh of relief. With Damian Knight’s assurance, he wasn’t worried about the matter being leaked.
"Let’s do it this way then!" Henry Stanton made the final decision.
Stella Monroe started shouting again, "No! I don’t want to go to the hospital! I don’t want to! Clarissa, please speak for Mom! No matter what wrongs I’ve done to you in the past, everything was for you!"
Sumr Monroe looked at Stella Monroe expressionlessly, though her tightly clenched fists betrayed her emotions.
She was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
Damian Knight’s gaze shifted from Sumr’s clenched fists, and he left the room with Jason.
Henry Stanton also went out, discussing the hospitalization matters with Damian.
Taking the opportunity, Sumr walked over to close the bedroom door, turned around, and approached Stella Monroe once more.
"Mom," Sumr spoke with a smile, though there was an icy abyss hidden beneath her smile.
After calling out "Mom," Sumr saw Stella Monroe’s eyes suddenly light up.
"Clarissa... Clarissa, you can forgive Mom, right?"
Sumr reached out to hold Stella Monroe’s bound hand and whispered, "Mom, I was in your womb for ten months. How could I really bla you?"
Tears welled up in Stella Monroe’s eyes, and she said with a trembling voice, "I knew it, I knew it... Then please tell your father, Mom can’t go to the asylum. If she does, you’ll be bullied to death by that wretch Sumr!"
Wretch?
Sumr raised an eyebrow slightly. Even under the influence of dication, Stella Monroe rembered to curse her.
She scoffed inwardly and said softly, "Mom, this is a sche by Sumr and Damian Knight. I can’t help it, but believe , if you cooperate with the treatnt, I’ll find a way to get you out of the hospital! However, there’s one thing I want to ask you..."
"Ask, ask," Stella Monroe said hurriedly.
She would not hide anything from her daughter.
Sumr tightened her other hand and asked, "Was Luna Monroe’s death caused by you and Dad?"
Stella Monroe’s expression froze, and she turned her eyes away, saying, "Why are you asking such things, child? Whether it was or wasn’t, it’s none of your concern. Don’t ask anymore."
"This concerns !" Sumr gripped Stella’s hand tighter and said, "Mom, have you ever thought about why Sumr is going against us, trying every way to drive us to a temple? She must be avenging her mom!"
Stella Monroe widened her eyes, a hesitant expression on her face.
Sumr continued, "If her mom’s death had nothing to do with you, maybe I could confront her directly and ask her to spare us... One more person in the family doesn’t matter, there’s no need for hostility."
Stella Monroe bit her lip, and with a complex expression, said, "Clarissa... We are destined adversaries with her, there’s no way to resolve it, no possibility of reconciliation."
Sumr clenched her teeth, so it was Stella Monroe who caused her mom’s death!
