NovelEnglishJared had just left when an unexpected visitor arrived-Stella.
She found her way to the intensive care unit and was surprised to seestanding outside. After a brief moment of hesitation, she approached. Her eyes were fixed on the situation inside the ward. "I didn't expect to find you here, Chloe." "Who did you think it would be?" I intentionally countered, "Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you? You wanted to hurt me, but Trinity was the one who ended up here. I always manage to turn danger into safety." Stella chuckled casually, "Chloe, you are indeed fortunate in this regard. But how did you manage to offend so many people? You're always being chased and hunted." Her words sounded light and detached, as if she were an uninvolved bystander. Yet, every tI recalled her ruthless actions, a shiver ran down my spine. I vividly remembered the eerie smile she flashed when she turned around outside my house.
Her calm demeanor now made her even more formidable.

"Have you ever considered what this is all for?" Stella's words carried a hint of provocation as she tested me.
"It sounds like you know what it's for." My gaze shifted from Trinity to Stella. "So, you keep showing up to establish connections with me?" Stella chuckled, "I just don't want to see you always in the dark, manipulated like a pawn." "Isn't that a form of value?" I said calmly, "Being a bit confused is a rare quality. Being too shrewd is not that good either. It's not scary to be treated as a pawn; what's scary is being used as a pawn and still jumping around, not realizing you've been played." I added a dose of harsh truth, confident that with this statement, she would inevitably think of Liora.
The more confident I appeared, the more uneasy she became.
After saying this, I turned to leave the intensive care unit. I needed to find a doctor and inquire about Trinity's current blood indicators. I was worried about the continuous increase in toxins in her blood.
Moreover, there are sthings best left unsaid, and I had nothing more to discuss with Stella.
Before I could walk far, Stella called out, "Chloe, you don't know that Chloe is not your nyet, right?" Her words made my steps cto a sudden halt, and my heart raced. I turned back to look at her. "What do you mean by that?" Although I pretended to be calm while asking her, my inner turmoil was undeniable.
Even though I had speculated countless times about what she was about to say, hearing someone confirm it made it hard forto accept.

Smirking, she asked me, "Hah... it seems Atlas didn't tell you after all?" Her expression was smug, as if all these things were deliberately being kept fromby Atlas.
"Well, why don't you tellwho I am?" I stared at Stella, stepping closer to her. "You seemed eager to talk about this. Why not take this opportunity?" "I can't tell you that. You better ask Atlas. I don't know how he planned this, but I'm afraid he'll blme if I accidentally spill the beans." She chuckled with a self-satisfied air, as if she had finally found a weak spot of mine.
I also understood that the more I wanted to know, the less she would be willing to tell me.
"But you are really pitiful. You don't even know who you are after all vel.n these years:" She had a mischievous glint in her eyes, suppressing a. laugh Well, who would have thought you were still alive? Your luck is really something else. "Chloe..." She casually uttered my name, seemingly savoring them.
"But this nactually sounds pretty good. You should have just been Chloe all along. But you just couldn't stay put, reentering people's sights, and wasting the life of Annalise." With that, she turned and gavea sidelong glance, her eyes filled with a sinister gleam. Then, she confidently walked away, leavingin a daze.
