Female Novel
Chapter 536 Do you still want to be with him?
Seeing him awake, Martha's eyes lit up.
"You're up, does the wound still hurt? I'll call the doctor..."
As she spoke, she got up to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
"Don't go."
At these words, Martha stopped.
They locked eyes with deep affection.
Then, the room fell into a long silence.
Stefan stared at her, and tightened his grip on her waist, as he was afraid that she would disappear
again if he let go.
Thinking Catherine was Stefan's biological mother, she spoke to break the silence- novelbin
"Catherine is now locked in the dungeon, awaiting sentence."
Though Martha didn't want to admit Catherine was Stefan's birth mother, it was the unchangeable fact.
As Catherine's son, Stefan had the right to know her current situation.
Stefan heard this and became despondent. For a moment he lost all courage of holding onto Martha
tightly.
"How she is has nothing to do with me."
He would not admit that woman, let alone his relationship with her.
This answer was within Martha's expectation.
"Everything is over. All I know is I came here to take you home," he added.
All those grudges and complicated relationships meant nothing compared to getting his wife back
home.
It hadn't changed from beginning to end.
Hearing these words made Martha feel bitter, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked down at his
palm, put her hand on it, and smiled suddenly.
"Okay, let's go home."
Everything was settled now.
Since they didn't want to face the reality, they'd escape together, leave everything here behind, and
return home where their family lived.
...
"What, are you leaving?"
Eve saw Martha again later in the evening. Martha went back to the Lucas Residence, and Eve was
waiting for her.
Aside, Sam frowned without expressing his opinion.
Martha nodded and said, "The murderer of my mother has been found. I have no reason to stay here
anymore."
Now that Catherine's true face had been exposed, what awaited her was an execution of her, and the
entire Z Country's sanction against her. For Martha, her revenge was over.
But Eve shook her head, disapproving of Martha's choice.
"Martha, you are the daughter of the Lucas family. Although you have avenged your mother, why do
you still want to leave when you've returned?"
Now the entire Lucas family would be hers. Eve and Sam would assist her in running it.
Martha didn't respond directly, but turned to Sam with a smile. "Sam, from now on, the Lucas family will
be left to you."
Hearing this, Sam frowned even deeper.
He had no interest in being the head of the family at all. He had always known his identity as an
adopted son of the Lucas family and didn't want to take over this position.
Besides...
Now that Elsie had been avenged, he just wanted to live in a quiet place where nobody could bother
him for the rest of his life.
He thought if Martha stayed, he would help her manage all matters related to running the Lucas family.
"Have you really thought this through?"
Unlike Eve who tried hard to convince Martha, Sam respected Martha's choice.
Martha nodded and smiled slightly, This place will always be strange for me."
Eve opened her mouth, but seeing how determined Martha was about leaving, she didn't say anything
else until something crossed her mind again, "What about Stefan? He's Catherine's son, you still want
to be with him?"
