Chapter 1287
Eirden had once been Aaron’s domain.
But now?
That might not be true anymore.
Jack had known Aaron for years.
He had always known exactly what kind of man Aaron was.
Cruel.
Bloodthirsty.
A monster.
And monsters weren’t supposed to have hearts.
They certainly weren’t supposed to fall in love.
But this time, Aaron seemed to have done exactly that.
And of all people, it had to be Yara.
Sometimes the world really did have a twisted sense of humor.
Stella had finally managed to free herself from the Wright family.
Jack had even helped erase every trace of her connection to Evan back in Harbor City.
And now…
If Aaron truly ended up with Yara, then the Wright family would become a thorn Stella could never completely pull out of her life.
Yara wanted Stella dead.
And Stella would never forget everything she had suffered because of the Wright family. ”
Unless the two women never saw each other again, they would probably always want each other dead.
Aaron reached the hospital as quickly as possible.
Gray followed closely behind him.
As Aaron was about to get out of the car, Gray asked,
“Are you going to see Miss Rowan or your father?”
Aaron remained seated in the back, his entire body radiating a cold, oppressive aura.
Who was he going to see?

“Stella first.”
These days, Aaron knew exactly how dissatisfied Michael was with him because of everything involving
Stella.
At this point, almost nothing Aaron said to his father would make a difference.
It was frustrating, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Gray nodded.
“Then Miss Rowan is probably our best option.”
He agreed that speaking to Stella first would make things easier.
He never would have expected everything to spiral this far.
At first, Gray had assumed that once Stella learned the revenge against the Wright family had been based on false information, she would feel guilty toward them.
But now?
There was no guilt left at all.
None.
Maybe there had been at first.
Gray had spent enough time around Stella to understand her temperament.
She hated being cornered.
Everyone could tell her she was wrong.
But once she had been pushed hard enough, even if she had made a mistake, she would eventually stop accepting the blame altogether.
Wasn’t that exactly what had happened now?
Perhaps at first, Stella really had believed she was wrong.
Perhaps she had even carried guilt deep down.
But now…
It was clearly gone.
Judging from her attitude, she had already reached the limit of how much blame she was willing to take for that mistake.
At this point, she simply refused to accept it anymore.
Aaron got out of the car and headed straight into the hospital.

However…
David and Russ had already heard he was coming.
The moment Aaron stepped out of the elevator on the top floor, they blocked his path.
“Mr. Hogarth.”
David stood directly in front of him, his expression serious.
Aaron’s face darkened.
“What is this?”
His gaze moved between David and Russ.
His eyes had already been cold.
But when he realized the two men were deliberately preventing him from going any farther, they turned even darker.
David spoke calmly.
“Your father and Miss Rowan have already gone to sleep. You should go back.”
The message couldn’t have been clearer.
Neither Michael nor Stella would see him tonight.
Aaron’s expression went completely black.
“I’m here to see Stella.”
If Michael was already asleep, waking him would probably only make matters worse.
But Stella was different.
If Aaron could convince her first, then she could speak to
Michael.
That might actually work.
David, however, didn’t move.
“Miss Rowan has been exhausted lately after everything she went through around Sima Mountain. She needs a proper night’s rest.”
When David had first found Stella, he had seen the exhaustion written all over her.
