Chapter 567


    When Dolores came back to the backyard, Dolores had woken up.


    Holding the baby who was in sound sleep in his arms, Channing was staring at Nathan.


    Ste walked over, “Ms. Anderson.”


    Dolores was stunned when she saw Ste. It seemed like she was not totally conscious. Maybe it was


    because she didn’t expect to see Ste here.


    “Ste…”


    Ste asked, “Do you feel better?”


    Dolores nodded her head, “I just feel a bit dizzy. Nothing else. You…”


    “rence is in the front house. Joanna hadmitted suicide.”


    Dolores was dumbfounded and was suddenly lost for words.


    Channing frowned, “Shemitted suicide? She should have a more serious punishment.”


    Ste felt a bit tired. Looking at the rain outside which was getting heavier and heavier, she didn’t want


    to stay here any longer. “Ms. Anderson, then I have to leave first. They will send you back,” said Ste.


    Dolores stood up, “Ste, where are you going?”


    “I will go back… Er, I will find a ce to live in temporarily.” Ste looked towards the baby, “Ms.


    Anderson, thank you for taking care of the baby during this period.”


    Dolores immediately understood what Ste nned to do when she heard the words.


    This day finally came.


    She and rence had kept it a secret from Ste for so long. She didn’t have the qualification to take


    care of the child anymore.


    When Ste took a step forward, Nathan walked over, “Ms. Radomil, let me give you a ride.”


    Ste looked at him expressionlessly and said in a t tone, “No thanks.”


    “Ms. Radomil…”


    “I hope you will not investigate where I’m living in or whom I meet up with again. Just show some


    respect to each other. Now I don’t want to see any of you.”


    Nathan was lost for words.


    As a matter of fact, Ste was not talking to him; instead, she wanted him to deliver the words to


    rence.


    Ste took the baby from Channing and held him in her arms.


    Emmett had been waiting for them outside. When Ste walked over, he opened the car door.


    Channing slightly nodded at Dolores and then left.


    Watching the ck car disappear into the rain, Nathan asked, “Ms. Anderson, what should we do now.”


    Dolores sighed emotionally, “We should give her some time.”


    Dolores paused and then added, “By the way, where is Amanda? Is she rescued?”


    Nathan replied, “She died.”


    Dolores was frozen, “She died?”


    Nathan nodded his head, “She tried to escape from the Conrad’s Mansion to report the situation, but


    was then caught back.”


    Nathan didn’t mention the details, but Dolores was clear about what would happen next.


    She closed her eyes, feeling a surge of tiredness and helplessness.


    Right at this moment, Maxwell hurried over, “Ms. Anderson, let me send you back.”


    “Where is re?”


    “Mr. Conrad passed out when he left the front house. Mr. James has sent him to the hospital.”


    Dolores was taken aback, “He fainted?”


    Maxwell replied, “Mr. Conrad got a gunshot on his arm a while ago and he lost a lot of blood.”


    “Send me to the hospital.”


    This night was destined to be turmoil.


    On the other side…


    Looking at the baby who was sleeping soundly in her arms and was sucking his fingers, Ste


    gradually curled her lips into a smile.


    Luckily, there was still time.


    The baby almost died in front of her.


    She finally performed the responsibility that a mother should take.


    Right at this moment, Channing handed her a tissue.


    Ste asked in confusion, “What’s the matter.”


    “Wipe your face.”


    Ste subconsciously touched her face. Only then did she realize that tears were all over her face.


    Channing said, “If you’re worrying about rence, you can go there to have a look.”


    Ste wiped away the tears on her face, yet tears kept streaming down her cheeks.


    She said in a t, calm voice, “I’m not a doctor. Is it useful even if I go there?”


    When rence hugged her before, she heard his stuffy moan.


    She knew he got hurt, but she didn’t know where the wound was.


    Channing asked, “Do you hate him?”


    Ste didn’t reply. Instead, she said to Emmett who was driving the car, “Find a hotel and let us get out


    of the car.


    Emmett pressed her lips together and groaned an answer.


    No one in the car spoke again.


    Half an hourter, the ck car slowly drove into the underground parking lot of a high-end apartment.


    Emmett took them upstairs and opened the door, “It’s raining outside, so it’s inconvenient toe to a


    hotel. This was prepared for William before and it will be safe for you to live here. If you don’t want to


    live here, I will find a new ce for you tomorrow.”


    Ste didn’tin about it and thanked him, “Thank you.”


    Emmett continued, “I’ve asked my men to buy some supplies for babies and deliver them here. They


    will be delivered soon.”


    Ste nodded her head, “Okay.”


    Emmett looked towards Channing, “Then I will leave first. You shall apany her here.”


    “Let me send you downstairs.”


    After their leaving, Ste held up the baby, found a bedroom and gently put the baby on the bed.


    The baby grabbed a button of her cloth and refused to let go. He began to babble again.


    Ste gently patted his back. When the baby hadpletely fallen into a sound sleep, Ste walked


    out of the bedroom.


    Channing was sitting on the sofa and the supplies sent by Emmett’s men were piled up in the living


    room.


    Ste said, “It’ste now. You can go to the bed.”


    Channing pressed his lips into a straight line, “I’ve been keeping one thing a secret from you.”


    Ste paused when she heard the words as she recalled something. Several secondster, she asked,


    “You learned about this a long time ago, right?”


    Channing replied, “I thought he cheated you before and followed him secretly.”


    Without any expressional change, Ste sat down opposite to him, “Go on.”


    Channing continued, “Actually, he didn’t mean to keep it a secret from you. It’s because the child had


    poor health when he was just given birth and the doctors would give them notice of critical condition


    several times a week. The baby had illness, serious or light, continuously. He didn’t want you to face


    frustration after giving you the hope.”


    “Did he tell you about this?”


    Channing nodded his head after a while of silence.


    “Does the child always get sick recently?”


    Channing replied, “It seems like his health has been improved in recent months. It’s just that he would


    sometimes catch a cold, but the doctor said it was normal.”


    Ste said in a t tone, “Now that this is the case, why didn’t he tell me?”


    Channing moved his lips trying to answer the question, yet was suddenly lost for words.


    Ste said, “I know what you meant. You don’t need to make an exnation for him. I’ve asked him


    about this numerous times, yet he would lie to me with various excuses every time. I could never get an


    honest answer or learn about the truth from him.”

    “But…”


    “I’ve given him numerous chances.” Ste took a deep breath as if she was trying to control her


    emotions, “Do you know if I didn’t go to the Conrad’s Mansion today, or if I didn’t show up in time, the


    baby would have been smothered.”


    “You said he doesn’t want me to face frustration after giving you the hope, but what’s the current


    situation? If the baby died in Conrad’s Mansion today, will he keep it a secret from me for the rest of his


    life? Will he take it as if the baby had died in that car ident?”
