Chapter 1285
Daisy sat by Weston’s side, holding his hand and gazing affectionately at him. These were the only times she
could stay by his side quietly without him getting up and leaving her.
It was also her only chance to be so close to him.
When Nicole walked in and saw this, she immediately frowned and asked, “What are you doing, Daisy?!”
Hearing her voice, Wendy quickly turned to her and coldly snarled, “Be quiet! This is a hospital!”
In the first few moments, Nicole didn’t recognize Wendy. All she knew was that she was quite good–looking even
though she had aged quite a bit. Knowing this, she assumed that Wendy must be somehow related to Weston.
“I’m Daisy’s cousin,” she told Wendy, pursing her lips, ” and Mr. Ford’s…”
She froze, realizing that she had no idea how to explain her relationship with Weston Ford.
Wendy had a lengthy experience in the entertainment industry, and she could tell at a glance the kind of woman
Nicole was, so she just waved her hand and said, “I have no objections to you both caring for him, but please don’t
cause a commotion.”
Since Stella was not willing to see him, she naturally wouldn’t leave him lying there without anyone accompanying

When she suddenly remembered that Chris Ford was still waiting for her outside, she turned to the two women and
said, “I’ll leave him to you. Please take care of him while I’m away. I have some business to attend to.”
“Yes, Ma’am.”
Chris was standing in the hallway when he noticed Wendy coming out. His eyes lit up, and he asked her, How’s
Weston doing?”
“Let’s talk somewhere else,” Wendy said, glancing at him with a plain expression. “We better not disturb
them.”
“Okay.”

When they got inside the car, Chris very eagerly told her, “I just talked to the doctor. He said Weston is out of
danger…”
“Just get to the point and say what you want to say,”
Wendy interrupted. “Stop pretending you’re actually
worried about Weston.”
Chris got all choked up by her response. He lowered his eyes and told her, “I’m still his father no matter what,
you know. How could I not be worried?”
“Perhaps you are worried, but that concern of yours is limited in nature.”
Wendy looked into his eyes and bluntly told him, “You and I are both fully aware of how we treated him. We used
him to maintain our family’s reputation, but we never loved him genuinely or cared for him. We put up an act of
being a loving family, but it was all fake, just like the feelings we have for each other. We’ve been trapped in this
charade of pretending to love each other for so long that even we ourselves had completely forgotten what true
love actually feels like…”
On the day that Stella was discharged from the hospital, Roger brought Elias and Emma along to pick her up.
Once they had said goodbye to Angelina and Henry, they got into the car and left.
Roger had made a good recovery, but he never once
mentioned the incident on Snow Mountain ever since it happened.
And so time passed, and it seemed that Weston had really faded out of Stella’s life completely.
Stella and Roger began to look around for a school to send Elias and Emma to where they would spend their whole
day.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt this point, they were still too young to go to a kindergarten, but being brilliant kids, Stella had hired tutors to
teach them at home.
This freed up a lot of time for Stella, giving her a chance to live a more leisurely life.
Occasionally, she would hear rumors being spread in the outside world about the head of the Ford family being in a
critical state where it was uncertain if he would live or die and how no one had ever seen him anywhere for a long
time now.
Such rumors would undoubtedly deal a great blow to the Ford family, not to mention the severe effect it would have
on the Ford Corporation. Even the directors were starting to feel uneasy.
If Weston’s life really was still in danger, then the whole
company might be in danger too. Their competitors were keeping a close eye, hovering above them like hungry
vultures. In the past, it had been Weston’s unbeatable talents and capabilities that made it impossible for anyone to
steal his powerful position, but now that the tiger had left the mountain, the wolves and the leopards had come out
of hiding; their eyes set on that juicy piece of meat that was Ford Corporation.
Just then, news broke that Weston Ford had issued a will.
