Crossroads

Diana rushed towards Courtney, furious "What's in your mind, Courtney!! You've already caused so much trouble for our family. What right do you have to ask Stephanie to do this?"

on, Gary wouldn't have been so angry that his condition worsened, and he wouldn't be hanging If it weren't for Courtney's crazy ramblings at noon, Gary between life and death now.

"I'm telling the truth" Courtney raised her head, seemingly to cover up her inner guilt, deliberately raising her voice. "Diana, is there a single false word in what I said! Look at Gary's medical record. His blood type is O. and Madison's is II. What is Stephanie's blood type? She is RF1 negative AB. the most rare blood type. And you! Diana, you've never married at your age. Isn't it because you've always liked Gary?"

Diana felt ashamed and angrily scolded. "Enough"

Courtney was a bit agitated. She turned her head, adjusted her breathing, and didn't cominue.

Stephanie watched Courtney's pretentious proud figure, her slender high heels clicking against the polished hospital floor, echoing through the cold, empty corridor. Her heavy footsteps seemed particularly out of place.

*Steffi, actually L. Seeing Courtney leave, Diana reached out to hold Stephanie, anie, flustered and wanting to explain, "It's not like what Courtney said Stephanie lowered her head, self-mockingly teasing. "Tve seen my dad's medical records. He really is blood type. It turns out he's been lying to me. I thought my blood type was inherited from him."

"Steffi, listen to me. Gary Diana didn't know how to explain for a moment. Finally, Diana used the simplest words to express her impression of him. "He's a good person. Madison and I are biological sisters, but we look different. I'm just average. At most. I'm pretty. But Madison is different. She has always been outstanding since she was young, with delicate features and a sexy figure, like a perfect doll. Plus, with her piano skills and her noble temperament, many men pursued her. But in the end, she chose to marry a poor boy named Gary from an ordinary background. Before meeting Gary, Madison had already met many outstanding men, one of whom was Sawyer, from the Wellington family. Diana poused intentionally when she mentioned this Stephanie looked at her in astonishment.

Sawyer was Dominick's father.

Diana looked at the panic in Stephanie's eyes and shook her head. "Don't think too much. It's not that complicated. Sawyer was sickly. It's said that George spent a lot of money to save his life. Because he was, after all, the only heir of the Wellington family, so he was never short of women. Sawyer and Madison had a romantic relationship, but Sawyer was already married with children. Madison said they were true love, and she said she would wait for him to divorce and marry him. I was strongly against her being the other woman, but I didn't dare to tell my father. A year later, Madison said they broke up, and I breathed a sigh of relief. The Clark family does not allow anyone to do such things that destroy other people's families. Whether Madison and Sawyer's love was true or not. I'm not clear. But Madison has always been the one to dump men. After that breakup, Madison was depressed for a long time, and for half a year, she spent her days in bars. Until one day. Madison told me she was pregnant."

Diana recalled the past and said coldly, "I asked her whose child it was, and she said she didn't know. During her depressed days in the bars, she got drunk and ended up in bed with many men"

Stephanie was stunned for a moment, then slightly lowered her head, clenching her fists.

"Father and I immediately sent someone to investigate. But she was messing around in various bars for half a year. We really couldn't find out who It was. But we confirmed that you are not Sawyer's daughter because after they broke up, Madison had no contact with him. We beard that Sawyer's health was poor. Even his son was born through multiple IVF procedures in Aurorastra."

Stephanie didn't speak, looking down at her reflection on the floor. Her mind was on the fact that Dominick was an IVF baby.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Diana looked at her profile, thinking. The beautiful face is really becoming more and more like Madison.

"The reason I was so against you getting close to Dominick is because of these old grudges"

When she first heard about Stephanie's relationship with Dominick, Diana was furious, thinking. "Why is it the Wellington family again?

Diana admitted she had prejudices against the Wellington family.

At that time, Sawyer already had a wife and a son, yet he still dated Madison. Whether their breakup was because Sawyer's health couldn't handle it or because he cared about his wife and son, Diana was not clear. In any case, they hated everyone in the Wellington family.

If it weren't for this hidden affair, Madison wouldn't have accidentally gotten pregnant, and there wouldn't have been such a ridiculous ending

"Cary was born poor, but he was never ashamed of it. He worked under your grandfather, who always admired his character and workability. Gary mei Madison a few times and fell in love with her, but he didn't dare to confess. When Madison accidentally got pregnant, it was already five months along. The doctor didn't recommend terminating the pregnancy, and your grandfather also disagreed with an abortion, so Gary said he would marry Mailison, treat her child as his own, and love her for a lifetime."

Stephanie heard this and found an empty chair to sit down.

Her face showed no expression, occasionally glancing towards the intensive care unit on the other side, Gary was in that ward now, his life uncertain.

Diana sat down next to her. "Stefli, you might think Gary is not a good father, but no matter what, I think he did his best. On the day you were born, he was extremely happy. He indulged Madison in everything, very doting on her. Although you took his last name, Reed, the outside world always thought he relied on the Clark family, that he was the humble one, and that he was under a lot of pressure. In the first few years of their marriage. out of gratitude for everything Gary did, Madison maintained a warm time with him.

But that wasn't love. Their marriage gradually faded over time into a dead.

end, and Madison had proposed a divorce several times, but Gary refused each time. The conflicts between them continued to worsen until one day, Gary brought Courtney home and said he wanted a divorce. Madison probably felt embarrassed and didn't want to divorce

anymore."

Stephanie suddenly looked up, her clear eyes directly meeting Diana's complex expression. "If they're not suitable for each other, why not separate?"

grow up in a broken family."

Diana told her the truth, all for her sake. "Because your grandfather didn't allow his granddaughter to grow Stephanie clenched her lips, her heart a mix of emotions.

She knew her grandfather loved her very much, didn't want her to be sad because of her parents divorce, and had been weaving one lie after another from the beginning

So it's all because of me. Stephanie stared at the cool floor of the m hospital, feeling lost. Her voice was dky and raspy as she murmured, "Why d they give birth to me?"
