Chapter 150
When Stephanie woke up, she saw Vincent lying on his side and looking at her.
“Awake?” asked Vincent.
“Yeah. What time is it now?” mumbled Stephanie, rolling into his arms and closing her eyes.
Vincent replied, “It’s 7:50 am.”
Stephanie instantly opened her eye and said, “Time to get up. I need to go to the hospital to check on Chri
Christie and administer acupuncture.”
“Alright. Frederick and Edith have been there since early morning. According to them, Christie’s vital signs look stable,” informed Vincent.
Stephanie nodded and went to wash up. She changed her clothes and had breakfast with Vincent before leaving for the hospital.
Outside the ICU ward, Frederick and Edith smiled when they saw Stephanie and Vincent, Edith happily came forward, held Stephanie’s hand and gushed, “Stephie, we just saw Christie and she looks much better. Thank you, Stephie.”
Hearing that, Stephanie’s guilt deepened. “Edith, Christie was injured because of me, so please don’t thank me,” she said.
“We are family. How can we be resentful toward you? What happened to Christie was unavoidable. You don’t need to be stressed or burdened by it,”
consoled Edith.
Stephanie was touched by Edith’s words. This was something she had never experienced before with the Hayes family.
She nodded gratefully. “Have Shonda’s parents come by yet?”
Edith replied, “Laila called to say that Shonda’s grandmother, Abigail’s brain tumor has aggravated. They went back to Cutvine after ensuring that Shonda was stable and they asked us to take care of her.”
Aher thinking for a while, Stephanie suggested, “Edith, please contact Laila and ask her to transfer Mrs. Moore to this hospital. The medical equipment in Curvine isn’t as cutting-edge as that of Jacaster. I will take responsibility for Mrs. Moore’s condition for free once they have transferred her here.”
Edith nodded. “Okay. I’ll call her right now.”
into the ICU to check Christina and Shonda’s condition, after which she administered them Stephanie nodded and put on the protective suit to go acupuncture. Looking at the two young girls who fell victim to the incident, she felt guilty and resentful of the mastermind.
After coming out, Stephanie asked Frederick and Edith to go home and rest as she would be sending people over and strengthening the security.
After Frederick and Edith left, Vincent accompanied Stephanie to Megan’s ward. Vincent stayed outside the ward to avoid any awkwardness. When Stephanie entered, only Selena and Megan were in the ward. The caretaker seemed to have gone for breakfast.
Selena came forward and held Stephanie’s hand. “Stephie, it’s good to see you,” she whispered.
Stephanie nodded. “I’m here to see Meg”
Selena sighed. “Meg’s in a terrible mood. Why don’t you talk to her while I take a look at the flower shop downstairs?”
Stephanie nodded. After Selena left, she walked to the hospital bed and sat beside it.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Megan’s eyes and nose were red as she croaked h o a r s e l , “Luckily you came in time, otherwise Christie and I would have been killed by Florence. But how did you escape? I heard Florence tell the kidnapper she had tied you up.”

Stephanie answered indifferently, “I was prepared in advance. Through the surveillance footage, I realized the kidnapper was using hallucinogenic drugs, so I took the antidote in advance. As for the rope restraining me, I cut it with a mini-blade (carry around.”
Megan’s expression filled with admiration, but in her heart, she cursed Stephanie for her c
u ng n s s. Chandler is such an idiot! He is the reason for Stephanie getting away. Megan knew Stephanie would come and Vincent would send someone to protect her that night. She had planned to draw Stephanie there and drug her into unconsciousness, before using Florence’s obsession over transplanting Stephanie’s heart to let Florence kill Christina. That way, the fact that Florence was the murderer would seem more real and convincing. After that, Megan planned to get Chandler to kill Florence and stab herself before finally killing Stephanie before Vincent’s anival. Megan’s survival would have been written off as luck and she wouldn’t have been suspected of involvement either. Unfortunately, Stephanie’s escape disrupted Megan’s plans, and Megan accidentally stabbed her uterus in panic. ‘1 should have let Chandler directly kill Stephanie, Florence, and Christina and made it seem like Florence killed them. If I could go back in time, I would have done that!” thought Megan as she smiled and said, “Stephie, you’re amazing! You even managed to predict the kidnapper’s plan.”
Stephanie laughed. “Careful observation can produce quite excellent results. Meg, how did you cut your rope?”
Megan had run through all possible loopholes plenty of times in her mind. She sniffed, “At that time, Florence untied my rope and asked me to kill Christie, I stood there scared witless. She threatened to kill me if I didn’t do it. And that’s when you showed up. As I fought against the kidnapper, Florence stabbed me and hit Christie with a rock. I was so freaked out I didn’t think Florence would be so crazy”
Stephanie nodded. “It’s good everyone is fine. Christie and Shonda will wake up in about a week. Then Christie can testify against the kidnapper.”
Megan’s heart s k i p e d a beat, but she calmly replied, “That’s great! One reaps what one sows! I don’t know if Florence was worth the kidnapper’s love, but I didn’t think he would end up killing her.”
Stephanie sighed. “I was surprised too. By the way, the kidnapper was also the one who bombed the film set and killed Sabrina.”
“What?” shouted Megan in surprise.
“Before Sabrina died, she managed to record the kidnapper hypnotizing her. So, it seems like Sabrina didn’t kill herself but was murdered. He even said “My baby will be safe once you’re dead.” The kidnapper really loved Florence but too bad he killed her in the end. Actually, I don’t understand why he tried to kill me first before kidnapping me for a heart transplant for Florence, It’s quite contradictory. Don’t you think so!”
Megan was stunned as she mumbled, “I think so. But the kidnapper did look slightly unhinged and was always blabbing nonsense.”
Stephanie said, “Unhinged? Blabbing nonsense? Meg, be careful with your words. After all, we can’t hold an unhinged person lawfully responsible for murder. When the case is filed, your testimony will be crucial, too.”
Megan only said that as she was worried Chandler would drag her down with him. In truth, she wanted him dead. After all, only the dead wouldn’t betray or tell on her.
She hummed and uttered, “Don’t worry. I won’t repeat what I said earlier. The kidnapper is quite ruthless and he deserves what he gets.”
“Yeah, evil people will get what they deserve,” said Stephanie, looking at Megan unblinkingly. “By the way, Meg. Where’s Christie’s robot dog? I think Shonda was dragged into this as she was the one who gifted Christie the robot dog. I suspect that the robot dog had recorded some secrets.”
Megan shook her head. “I don’t know. I have never seen that robot dog before.”
Stephanie nodded. “I’ll have the police interrogate the kidnapper again. Rest well, alright? Don’t worry about losing the ability to have children. After all, women are not fertility machines. If a man really loves you, he won’t care about such superficial stuff. Just like Florence, someone is willing to kill for her. Although she was tragically killed in the end.”
Megan nodded. “That’s true. Don’t worry. I’ll be fine.”
Stephanie stood up and said, “I’ll take my leave now. I’ll visit you another day.”
“Okay, thank you, Stephie,” replied Megan
“You’re welcome,” said Stephanie. She walked to the ward door and suddenly looked back. “I hope you can keep Vincent’s recovery a
“I will. Since you guys didn’t disclose it to the public, I assumed it’s a secret reassured Megan.
Stephanie smiled and left.
ya secret.
The smile on Megan’s face instantly vanished as she thought, “Fortunately, I smashed the robot dog or there would have been evidence to implicit me. The most important thing now is killing Christina, I need to get Matilda to move quickly!
