Now They Want My Forgiveness - Chapter 82: Chapter 82

Max clenched his fist, just a second away from punching glass.
Anna urgently grabbed his hand and said, "Max, don't. If the glass breaks, that's fine, but I don't want you to get hurt."
Max thought, 'That's my dear sister. Anna always cares about me. But what about Stella? She has completely lost her mind. Anna was just eighteen back then. How could she be that vicious?
'If Stella wants revenge against the Hayes family, why make up the hypocritical excuse? It is absolutely outrageous.'
That tiniest flicker of guilt that had just surfaced in his heart vanished without a trace.
Max said, "If she can get a blood match, then she's just lucky. If not, it serves her right. Let's go."
Max didn't want to see Stella ever again. He thought, 'If Stella wakes up, she'll just bring the Hayes family down with her. Why should I even care about a sister like her?'
Anna remained rooted to the spot.
Max turned around and grabbed her arm. He asked, "Why are you still there?"
Anna said, "But she's my sister, after all. She has been through so much, and none of this was her choice. I just can't help but feel sorry for her."
"Don't waste your sympathy on her. She could only blame herself." Max pulled Anna forward.
Anna smirked, mouthed a fake "sorry" to Stella through the window, and thought, 'Stella, you robbed me of my nutrients in the womb and made me suffer. Now you'll know what my pain feels like.'
When Max told Andrew and Fiona what Stella had said to Anna, they were both very angry.
Fiona scoffed, "She's so ungrateful. We've raised her all these years, and Anna is really kind to her. How dare she suspect Anna? If things turned out this way for her, that's just her fate. Who else can she blame?"
Fiona had almost decided to let bygones be bygones, considering Stella might not survive. But realizing Stella was still harboring such thoughts, Fiona found it utterly intolerable.
Andrew said to Max, "Don't go looking for a match. Just leave it to fate. If a match is found, then it's not her time to go. If not, at least you'll have an answer for your grandma."
Max nodded in agreement. That was exactly what he was thinking.
Andrew said, "Also, your grandma has been sick lately. You two should visit her more often. Anna, put in a good word for Max when you're with your grandma.
"Her health is deteriorating by the day, but the issue of the shares is still up in the air. We must get this settled soon.
"Once Stella wakes up, you know what that means."
Max and Anna nodded.
Fiona pondered for a moment and said, "I should visit Mom often, too. Because of Stella, there's been some bad blood between us lately."
Andrew nodded in satisfaction. He thought, 'This is what a family should look like. Everyone is working toward a common goal. Stella is nothing but a disruptor to our family.'
Mary reported everything she had overheard to Eleanor, leaving out no detail.
Before breaking the news, she took care to reassure Eleanor, telling her not to worry and promising that a solution would be found.
Eleanor was overcome with emotion after hearing everything.
Mary was startled and hurriedly comforted Eleanor. "Mrs. Hayes, you must hold on. You really must. In this family, Stella has no one else to rely on but you."
These words really worked to calm Eleanor down. Her turbulent emotions gradually settled, and soon, tears welled up and spilled over.
She said, "Why must my poor Stella suffer so much? She did nothing wrong, but she has been falsely accused. And now we have this blood type issue. Oh, God. I just can't fathom how this could happen."
