Martha no longer opened her heart to anyone’s love. Nor did she want to love anyone.


    Love could only cause her pain.


    She was fine with being alone.


    In the end, Biancapromised and sighed helplessly.


    “I’m not saying this to persuade you to ept anyone. I just don’t want you to give up at a young age.”


    Bianca told Martha to think about it, and left the kitchen.


    Martha was left alone in the kitchen. The biscuits made for Jimmy had been put into the oven, and the milky aroma wafted faintly.


    While waiting, she closed her eyes wearily. Stefan’s and Rhys’ figures emerged in her mind. They were arguing.


    It didn’t feel right.


    She thought carefully about the scene outside the orphanage that day


    Rhys hated the Harrison family and Stefan because of his mother.


    And Stefan was very angry because Rhys was an illegitimate child and Rhys ndered his father.


    Now in retrospect, Martha felt many things were wrong.


    She understood why Rhys hated the Harrison family.


    But why was Stefan so aggressive when he went to the orphanage that day?


    She knew Rhys’ identity based on clues from the orphanage, yet how did Stefan know it? Who told him?


    Why was he angry? Just because he refused to ept his father, whom he had respected so much, had an illegitimate child. Or, was there something else?


    When Stefan mentioned Rhys’ mother, he seemed to be very disdainful and contemptuous, which enraged Rhys.


    They fought out of anger.


    Martha was puzzled. She murmured in her mind. Were there some misunderstandings?


    …


    In the afternoon, in the hospital.


    Eden drove to the hospital. First, he wanted to see Stefan’s son. After all, he hadn’t met Jimmy formally after so long. Second, he was hesitant about whether to tell Martha what was going to happen tonight.


    He didn’t expect to meet Melissa, who also came to visit Jimmy, outside the ward.


    They looked at each other with unfriendly eyes. The atmosphere was weird for a moment. Then they walked into the ward one after the other.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Jimmy was very close to Melissa, but he didn’t know Eden. He greeted Eden but didn’t talk to him after that.


    When Martha came, she saw these three people looking at each other in the ward.


    Eden turned his head when he heard the sound. He looked at Martha with gloominess.


    But Martha didn’t notice it. She was surprised that Eden and Melissa were both there.


    “You guys came together?”


    Her tone was a bit teasing and curious.


    Melissa waved her hand and immediately said, “No way! We just happen to arrive at the same time.”


    Martha chuckled, not convinced.


    Melissa frowned, helpless.


    Eden ignored the question. He had something on his mind and looked worried.


    Jimmy nced at Eden secretly a few times, thinking that he looked too serious.


    Martha noticed Eden’s expression. She felt that he wanted to tell her something.


    She asked Melissa to take care of Jimmy and then went out with Eden.


    Martha asked directly, “Is there anything you want to tell me?”


    Eden was startled, hesitating. Two voices kept arguing in his mind.


    Reason told him that he should keep this secret for Stefan to keep Martha from risk.


    But emotionally, he, as a bystander, saw the situation far more clearly than Stefan did


    He thought Martha had the right to know the truth and the misunderstanding between them should be solved.


    After a moment of hesitation, Eden chose to tell Martha the truth.


    “Stefan has an appointment with Rhys tonight.”


    Martha was surprised. She remembered how Stefan and Rhys fought with each other thest time. Why would they meet again? Probably…


    Thinking of Stefan’s weird behavior, Martha had a bad premonition.


    She subdued her emotions and remained calm on the surface.


    “Yes?”


    Her emotionless response made Eden upset.


    He whispered again, “Someone might die.”


    Martha was stunned.


    She thought of Stefan asking her earlier if she would forgive him if he died.


    At this moment, she had an indescribable feeling.


    After a few seconds of silence, she asked, “Did Stefan tell you about Rhys before?”


    Eden frowned, wondering what Martha was asking this for.


    He nodded and replied, “He did, but not a lot. Therefore, I know little about Rhys.”


    Eden said, thinking of something, “But when he mentioned Rhys, he was wrathful. In particr, he hated Rhys’ mother to the core, saying she deserved to die.”


    Martha’s eyshes quivered slightly when she heard this.


    Stefan hated Rhys’ mother, so her guess was right.


    It was just that Martha couldn’t figure out where this intense hatred was from.


    ording to her understanding, in Rhys’ recollection, his mother was a very gentle woman instead of a bad person.


    Rhys had no reason to lie to her. His mother was also a victim in his memory.


    Was there something she didn’t know?


    “Is Rhys’ mother such an awful person?”


    Eden asked, “She destroyed Stefan’s family on purpose, so she deserved to die.”


    ‘On purpose?’


    Martha shook her head in disagreement.
