Max clenched his fist, just a second away from punching, glass.
Anna urgently grabbed his hand and said, “Max, don’t, if the glass breaks, that’s fine, but i don’t want you to get hurt.”
Max thought, ‘That’s my dear sister. Anna always cares about me. But what about Stella? She has completely lost her mind. Anna was just eighteen back then. How could she be that vicious?
“If Stella wants revenge against the Hayes family, why make up the hypocritical excuse it is absolutely outrageous
That tiniest flicker of guilt that had just surfaced in his heart vanished without a tra
atrace.
Max said, “if she can get a blood match, then she’s just lucky. If not, it serves her right. Let’s go
Max didn’t want to see Stalla ever again. He thought, If Stella wakes up, she’ll just bring the Hayes family down with her. Why should even care about sister like her?
Anna remained rooted to the spot.
Max tuned around and grabbed her arm. He asked, “Why are you still there!”
Anna said, “But she’s my sister, after all. She has been through so much, and none of this was her choice. I just can’t help but feel sorry for her.”
“Don’t waste your sympathy on her. She could only blame herself.” Max pulled Anna forward.
Anna smirked, mouthed a fake “sorry” to Stella through the window, and thought, “Stella, you robbed me of my nutrients in the womb and made me suffer. Now you’ll know what my pain feels like
When Max told Andrew and Fiona what Stella had said to Anna, they were both very angry.
Fiona scoffed, “She’s so ungrateful. We’ve raised her all these years, and Annals really kind to her, How dare she suspect Anna? If things turned out this way for her, that’s just her fate. Who else can she blame?”
Fiona had almost decided to let bygones he bygones, considering Stella might not survive. But realizing Stella was still harboring such thoughts, Fiona found it utterly intolerable.
Andrew said to Max, “Don’t go looking for a match. Just leave it to fate. If a match is found, then it’s not her time to go. If not, at least you’ll have an answer for your grandina.”
Max nodded in agreement. That was exactly what he was thinking
Andrew said, “Also, your grandma has been sick lately. You two should visit her more often. Anna, put in a good word for Max when you’re with your -grandma.
“Her health is deteriorating by the day, but the issue of the shares is still up in the air. We must get this settled soon.
“Once Stella wakes up, you know what that means”
Max and Anna nodded.
Fiona pondered for a moment and said, “I should visit Mom often, too, Because of Stella, there’s been some bad blood bet
Labely
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. He thought, “This is what a family should look like. Everyone is working toward a common goal Stella is nothing but a disruptor to our family.
Mary reported everything she had overheard to Eleanor, leaving out no detail.

Before breaking the news, she took care to reassure Eleanor, telling her not to worry and promising i
Eleanor was overcome with emotion after hearing everything
Mary was startled and hurriedly comforted Eleanor, “Mrs. Hayes, you must hold on. You really munt. In this family, it has no one to rely on bu
you.”
These words really worked to calm Eleanor down. Her turbulent emotions gradually settled, and soon, tears welled up and spiled over
She said, “Why must my poor Stella suffer so much? She did nothing wrong, but she has been falsely accused. And now we have this blood type is Oh, God. I just can’t fathom how this could happen.”
oor girl’s life its been nothing but
Mary, too, was heartbroken for Stella. She thought, ‘Poor Stella. How could she be saddled with all this? That poor suffering
Eleanor instructed Mary, “Keep a close eye on them. See if they’re actually looking for blood donors for Stella if they don’t help, take matters into my own hands.”
Despite the recent troubles in the Hayes family, Eleanor remained completely uninvolved. After all, she and her late husband had built the company from scratch, but Andrew’s sheer incompetence nearly drove it into ruin,
Though it pained her to let go, Eleanor knew full well that even if she intervened, the Hayes Group would still fall into crisis after she died
Thankfully, Max was pretty capable and managed to get the company back on track.
s for that whole mess with the Carver family, Eleanor didn’t bother to deal with it either.
This didn’t mean she had lost her connections all these years, She might disregard others, but Stella was someone she could never ignore.
Eleanor thought, “My Stella. She must survive, whatever it takes
Mary nodded.
In recent days, the rest of the Hayes family members took turns attending to Eleanor. No matter what obstacles she threw their way, they feigned ignorance. Their patience was almost unbelievably good.
Eleanor, who with age, could see right through them, She knew what they wanted was nothing but her shares, but she simply refused to hand them over.
Eleanor would occasionally add insult to their injury. She asked, “has been days already. Still no word on Stella’s condition?”
Fiona’s face darkened, but she still forced a look of deep concem for Stella.
She replied, “No. The hospital has been looking for blood matches, and so have we. If all the donor information were registered in the database, it would be a piece of cake to find a match, but certain countries haven’t uploaded their records.”
Anna said, “Grandma, we actually found a potential donar yesterday, but she is pregnant and anemic. We couldn’t ask her to donate, could we
“Grandma, don’t worry: Lionel said Stella’s vital signs have been stable. She can hold out until we find blood matches.”
Eleanor didn’t believe a word they said, but she wasn’t about to pick a fight either.
Once Eleanor had recovered somewhat and her family members were no longer around, she had Mary fetch a wheelcha Stella.
