Mr. Conrad Proposes To His Ex-wife Again

Not long after, a doctor came to call Archer to see the lab data.

He got up and said to Stella, “You just go around first. I will tell them and let them bring the boy down later when he is done with his treatment.”

She nodded. “Okay.”

After he left, she sat in the sofa for a while and then walked around the house since Clarence had not come back yet.

Behind the house, there was a large garden.

She went into the garden and felt a cool breeze with the fresh smell of flowers and plants.

This was indeed a better place to live than the city.

After standing for a while, she found a bench and sat down, staring into the distance.

Soon someone approached her and sat next to her.

She thought it was Clarence and subconsciously turned her head and said, “You…”

When she saw the person’s face, she froze at first and then exclaimed in surprise, “Ms. Anderson.”

It was Dolores Anderson. “You have been sitting here for a while. What are you thinking about?”

Stella looked ahead again with her eyelashes slightly drooping. “Nothing. I just got caught up in my head.”

“Are you still worried about the child?” Dolores asked.

“I know he is fine here with you and Archer. And he is slowly recovering. I just feel… that I haven’t fulfilled my duty as a mother since he was born. I spent little time with him and I could not do anything with his illness,” Stella replied.

Dolores replied, “He was born prematurely and since then he has been in a dismal condition. And before things got any better, something unexpected happened. But Stella, these are not your fault. I had always wanted to tell you this but didn't have an opportunity.”

She added, “I know you had a hard time carrying this child and suffered a lot, but you did your best as a mother to give birth to him in such a difficult situation instead of giving him up. We all want our child to be born healthy and grow up peacefully, but there are always some people who try to ruin our life. If someone is to blame, it is the fault of Clarence and me. We should not have kept it from you, and you, as the mother of the child, have the right to know.”
