Chapter 396:
The current Stella had gradually lost the innocence and ignorance she possessed during her school days. She
had developed an attractive temperament and personality, making her seem more charming. She also became
more mature and calm, as if everything flowed naturally, but it seemed that something was missing.
Perhaps, he was in a different state of mind. He had never told her what had happened that year.
What happened back then was his fault. He didn’t want to bring it up again; he only hoped she wouldn't hold a
grudge against him for what had transpired.
Unfortunately, it was the opposite. Although she appeared calm on the surface, she cared deeply about it in her
heart.
He could see this. He would slowly help her change her mind.
After the IV drip was finished, the doctor wrote a simple prescription. RK took the medicine and led Stella into the
elevator.
However, in the elevator, they encountered someone they shouldn't have met.
Stella seemed to understand Violet's strange behavior the day before. It was Willy.
“Miss Richard.” Willy nodded slightly to Stella.

Stella nodded in return, and neither of them spoke a word. “How is Violet?” When RK and Stella stepped out of
the elevator, Willy suddenly stopped her.
“Willy, you should know very well how she is, right?”
RK also noticed that Stella’s tone was particularly harsh that day.

“What happened that year...” Willy seemed to want to say something, but ultimately changed the subject.
“Hasn't she let the matter go?”
“You should know better than | do that Violet has never been one to be swayed easily. Once she falls for
someone, would she change her mind so quickly?” Stella's tone was cold. “If you're just playing around, of all
people, why did you choose someone as persistent as Violet? Does she owe you something?”
“No, it's my fault. Back then, I...” Although Willy seemed like he wanted to say more, he fell silent. “I hope she
can be happy.”
“Don’t worry; she is happy. She's happier than she was with you.” Stella looked proud. “You should be glad that
you didn’t see her in the hospital tomorrow.”
Willy smiled bitterly. It seemed that Violet was the one who had pulled the central valves from his mountain
bicycle’s wheels. He wondered who he had offended that even the valves were pulled out.
Violet was still the sas before—happy, vengeful, and straightforward in her retaliation.
It had been so many years, but she hadn't changed. Willy was still the sas well, but their relationship had
changed. They had no choice.
Stella spoke coldly, then ignored Willy and turned to leave. RK and Willy exchanged faint smiles before following
Stella out of the hospital.
RK had rarely seen such an aggressive side of Stella. The first twas when Adrian was hospitalized; this
seemed to be the second. She rarely exhibited such a violent demeanor. That day, he learned a lot.
After returning home, RK went to the kitchen to prepare lunch for Stella, who had gone back to her bedroom to
call Violet.
Stella felt the need to scold that girl. Violet needed to let go of Willy sooner or later. How reliable was Carson,
who was standing in front of her? He was simple and naive, and he would never change his mind. Why hadn't he
taken action? It was worrying.
“Hey, Stella, what can | do for you? Are you lonely?”
After a few rings, Violet finally picked up the phone.
Violet's tone was relaxed, while Stella’s was different.
“Violet Bryant,” Stella suddenly called her by her full name.
Violet's heart raced. Something bad was about to happen.

“Tellthe truth. Did you see Willy yesterday at the hospital?”
“Ah? Willy in the hospital in the north of the city? How is that possible? | haven't seen him at all, haha...” Violet
laughed dryly.
“Then tell me, why did you pull out the bicycle’s central valves yesterday? Whose bicycle is that?”
After hearing Stella's question, Violet fell silent; there was nothing she could say.
“Violet, tellhonestly, have you forgotten about Willy?” It was rare for Stella to discuss Willy with Violet, which
made the latter go quiet.
“I have not forgotten about him.”
After a long pause, Violet finally spoke up, though it seemed she was unwilling to admit it. “I have never
forgotten him.”
“You, alas...”
Stella sighed weakly. “I really can’t do anything about you.”
“Then what should | do? Will you not loveanymore?” Violet asked childishly.
“Why are you so annoying?”
Hearing Violet's words, Stella couldn’t remain serious any longer. “Lettell you, how much do you have to
suffer if you're so stubborn? If it weren't for me, what would you do?”
