Chapter 454

Summer took several deep breaths, but she still could not suppress the panic rising in her chest.

She had a feeling Stella might know something.

But she was not sure.

So she did not dare speak carelessly.

“The floor is cold,” Stella said. “You should get up. After all, the Wright family’s medical resources are pretty limited right now.”

Summer said nothing.

At Stella’s words, humiliation spread thickly through her chest.

She wanted to tear apart that superior look on Stella’s face.

But she had already knelt.

If she failed to get what she wanted after going this far, then this would all be for nothing.

With that thought in mind, Summer forced down the suffocating feeling in her chest.

“I want to go to the hospital to see my child. Please.”

She lowered her head all the way to the floor.

But at that moment, she was not using that humble posture to sincerely beg Stella.

She was using it to hide the anger in her eyes, anger born from unbearable humiliation.

When Stella heard her, she laughed mockingly.

“You make it sound like I’m the one stopping you from seeing your child.

“Go if you want.”

If Summer wanted to see the child, then fine.

Right now, anyone from the Wright family could come and go from the old mansion freely.

There were no restrictions on that.

As long as they had the strength, they could walk as far away from the old mansion as they wanted.

Hearing Stella say that on purpose made Summer’s chest tighten even more painfully.

“But none of the cars can get in now, and without your permission, the cars here can’t be driven out either. I have no way to go.”

Summer felt deeply humiliated.

Still, she was trying hard to appear weak in front of Stella.

But the words she used only made Stella let out a scoff.

“No way? Don’t you still have two legs?”

Did Summer really think Stella was a man?

Was she trying to play the fragile victim in front of her?

Too bad that trick might work on men.

But to another woman, that pitiful tone only sounded disgusting.

Summer said, “I didn’t recover properly after giving birth. I’m very weak right now. Please, try to understand.

“Drop the act, Summer. It’s getting old,” Stella said.

This time, Stella was even more direct.

The meaning behind her words was obvious, and Summer understood it.

Kneeling on the floor, her entire body went stiff.

Stella slowly walked toward her.

“You want a car to take you to the hospital?”

Summer nodded. “Yes.”

The moment she said it, Stella placed a phone in front of her.

It was recording.

Summer froze.

Her body had already been tense, but the sight of that recording phone made her stiffen even more.

Stella asked, “Two years ago, did you know I was pregnant when you deliberately drove into me?”

Summer said nothing.

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Summer’s heart lurched.

Talk?

Was Stella trying to force her to admit what she had done two years ago?

Summer’s breathing turned rapid.

Before she could speak, Stella continued, “And on the day you went into labor, you pushed me on purpose too, didn’t you? How did you know I was pregnant?”

Back then, under those circumstances, no one had known she was pregnant.

She had not even told Evan.

And yet Summer had known.

Stella had to admit, Summer really was something.

Even while giving birth, she had not forgotten to set a trap to make Stella lose her baby.

“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Summer said.

As she spoke, her whole body trembled.

She could not admit it.

She had failed to frame Stella for the child’s death.

But if Stella succeeded in recording a confession now, Summer would definitely be sent to prison.

Life was already difficult now.

But if the alternative was prison, Summer would never agree to that.
