Crossroads

"I know you're very angry, but please don't hang up the phonel:

"I really don't know who saved me... I didn't just leave Dominick there. I care about him, I swear. I need to know how he's doing. Vincent, please, I'm begging you...

Stephanic clutched the phone, her voice urgent.

She and Vincent had always been friendly, but it was only because Dominick acknowledged her. Now...

Stephanie knew she shouldn't bother Vincent, but she had no choice. She didn't know who else she could turn to.

Vincent's voice was cold and distant. "Stephanie, I don't have the time to guess who your knight in shining armor is. The Wellington Group is in chaos right now, so you'd better stay put in the hospital. No one has the time to deal with you!"

With that, Vincent's face remained grim as he was about to hang up.

"I'm going to Aurorastra to find Dominick!" she suddenly shouted in anger.

He paused for a moment, stunned by her outburst.

Then, his face turned sullen, and he hissed. "Stephanie, get a grip. If it weren't for Dominick, you wouldn't even deserve to talk to us. Don't waste my time."

His words were straight and cruel Stephanie pressed her lips tightly, a flicker of humiliation crossing her eyes.

Indeed... If it weren't for Dominick, why would Vincent or Scott even bother with her?

"I know he's at Serenburg Private Hospital... I'll go myself."

She finally muttered in a low voice, and her tone filled with determination.

If she wanted to do it, she could do it herself without their help.

"Stephanie, I told you to stay put, damn it! Didn't you hear me? Stop causing trouble for us, okay? We have enough on our plate, you know?!" Vincent was practically losing his mind, yelling into the phone.

Stephanie's emotions surged, her eyes reddening as she shouted out, "How am I 'causing trouble? I just want to see him, that's all!"C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The past few days in the hospital had been overwhelming. She wanted to leave, but the bodyguards outside the door stopped her. She tried to get news about Dominick, but they all ignored her.

Stephanie was very worried about him, desperately wanting to know how he was doing...

Sitting on the hospital bed, surrounded by the sterile smell of the white sheets, the white ceiling, and the locked white door in front of her, she felt utterly alone.

"Vincent, I know I'm not much help, I can't do anything useful, but I promise I won't be a trouble. Please, let me go to Aurorastra," she An irresistible sweet trap You absolutely can't miss this mini series Chapter 111

pleaded softly, clutching her phone tightly. Her head bowed, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

She hated crying, but for some reason, an unsettling fear gripped her heart.

The less she knew, the more terrified she felt.

"Stephanie, for crying sake, he risked his life for you! Use your head! We can't let anything happen to you!" Vincent roared.

"You're the one who insisted on going to Aurorastra. Whatever happens there is on you, it has nothing to do with me!"

Then, he hung up the phone.

Vincent's face was grim, and his expression was complex. Stephanie's voice had been urgent and flustered. It seemed he had heard her crying...

"Damn it!'

This was all Dominick's fault for spoiling her rotten!

'He risked his life to save you... We can't let anything happen to you!'

Stephanie stared blankly at the phone, her mind a bit slow. Vincent's words still echoed in her head.

No matter how hard she tried to deny it, there were feelings she couldn't ignore.

Dominick had always been kind to her... But she always felt he was out of her league, so she never let herself go there.

Taking a deep breath, Stephanie quickly got out of the hospital bed, changed out of her gown, and packed her things for the trip to Aurorastra, She realized how timid and insecure she'd been, always brushing off his efforts, and now she felt deeply ashamed and guilty.

"Dominick, you have to pull through," she whispered to herself as she numbly packed her bag.

The thought of something happening to him... It terrified her. She didn't know what to do.

"Dominick's surgery went well, and he's stable now."

Stephanie had been anxiously waiting at the hospital for most of the day. Around 10 PM, Vincent finally finished his work and came to find her.

But when he walked into the room and saw Stephanie's pale, worried face, Vincent felt a sudden pang of irritation and huffed.

"Hey, Stephanie, cheer up a little, will you? If Dominick sees you like this, he'll think I've been mean to you!"

Stephanie's face lit up. "Dominick's awake?"

Vincent rolled his eyes. "No, he's not.

Dominick is seriously hurt. Thanks to ve your knight ditching him Dominick had already lost a ton of blood by the time they got to him. He's got multiple fractures and wounds all over... He's still unconscious."

Though he didn't know who had secretly sayed Stephanie, that person was incredibly unethical) They clearly ve knew there were other injured people in the car accident, yet they only topk Stephanie to the hospital, leaving Dominick alone.

"Vincent, if I could choose, I wish they'd saved Dominick instead..." Her voice trailed off, tinged with sadness.

Stephanie showed little emotion on her face as she grabbed her packed bag and walked out of the hospital room.

Vincent stood in place, watching her frail figure, momentarily stunned.

Frowning, he said nothing, but his jaw tightened. He caught up to her in a few long strides, and they left the hospital together. Even though it was late at night, they both wanted to reach Aurorastra as soon as possible.

Vincent started to think that maybe Stephanie was really worried about Dominick...

They drove straight to Havencrest International Airport, streetlights blurring past Stephanie's gaze as she stared out the window, deep in thought.

Vincent glanced at her furrowed brow and the tension in her profile, raising an eyebrow.

"Dominick's accident wasn't actually that bad this time. It was his old injuries that made it worse..." he said, breaking the silence.

Stephanie turned to look at him,

Vincent hesitated, not wanting to get into detail. "Six years ago, Dominick and a friend were in a major car are both accident. They were both hurt pretty badly... Rominick was eventually released from the hospital, but his old injuries never really healed. That's why you see him get migraines after staying up late or getting caught in the rain. He's in a lot of pain but hates taking painkillers, so he just toughs it out..."

Stephanie had rarely heard about Dominick's past. Her face was dazed as she instinctively asked, "Why did he have the accident six years ago?"

"You don't need to know about that." Vincent's expression grew irritated as he recalled the past.
