Chapter 114 What Disease Does That Child Suffer from
Hollie was thinking about it. Libby saw right through her and then nodded. "That's right. He's Stefan's child. If I'm right, the purpose of her return this time is not that simple." Hollie's face went pale when she heard Libby's words. She then looked at Libby with anxiety. "We can't let Stefan know about this child. If he knows that their child is still alive, he'll never betogether with me." Libby patted Hollie's shoulder to comfort her, "I know. But we need to know more details before wetake action." Hollie panicked. And then she grabbed Libby's hands so tight like she was a lifesaver. "Libby, you have to help me." "Don't worry. I'll get you everything you want." Libby said with a smile on her lips. She would literally do everything for Hollie, her goddaughter. After all, she watched Hollie grow up. Most importantly, as Hollie's godmother, she could be rich for the rest of her life if Hollie got to bemarried to a rich man like Stefan. Hollie then leaned her head upon Libby's bosom, "Libby, I can't lose Stefan..." She had done tons of bad things but the only reason was to get Stefan's love. She really loved Stefan. "You won't. This will never happen," Libby said gently. After Hollie regained composure, she squinted and said in a vicious tone. "As long as my men find out what hospital that child is in and what disease he is suffering from, itwill be easier for us to be against Martha." Hearing this, Hollie nodded. Then her eyes lit up and she thought, 'Right! Martha hasn't said a thingabout that child since she came back. She definitely doesn't want us to know.' 'If we can get something on her and use it to threaten her, then...' All of a sudden, Hollie got a fiercer look on her face. 'If possible, I want her and her child to disappear once and for all!'
... Time flies. Two days went by. Martha looked better after two days' rest. Today she went downstairs to have lunch as usual but then she saw Stefan already sitting at thedining table and waiting for her. She ignored him with an indifferent look on her face. She then sat down and started to ladle out abowl of soup for herself. Seeing her completely ignore him, Stefan squinted and said, "How are you after two days' rest?Feeling better?" "Yep." Martha replied casually and then continued to have her soup with no intention to talk more. It was weird. Somehow Stefan spent most of the time these two days at home and tried to talk toher every now and then. Although, she practically didn't respond. There was nothing to talk about between them. The only thing she wanted to talk about was the divorce. But he didn't want to. Stefan sat opposite her and his eyes got darker seeing her like this. His pretty eyebrows frowned as he said in a cold voice, "There are no updates about Joann's casefrom the police. They'll file an appeal and charge her for committing suicide to escape punishment." Martha's hand paused when she heard this and then she raised her eyes at Stefan. "You think so, too?" Stefan said a bit hoarsely with deep eyes, "Is there something wrong with her suicide?" Hearing this, Martha couldn't help but sneer and asked rhetorically in irony, "Is it really that simple?" "What else?" Stefan frowned again with deeper eyes. He sensed that there was something more implied in her words. But he didn't want to think deeplyabout it.Martha looked at him with contempt and asked with a cold smile, "I think you know better than menovelbin
exactly who took Joann to the island." "What do you mean?" Stefan suddenly clenched his fists but he still looked calm without any more weird expressions. Seeing him like this, Martha said more ironically, "Mr. Harrison, do you really believe that this hasnothing to do with Hollie?" Stefan's face changed when he heard what Martha had said. He then pressed his lips togetherwithout uttering a word.
