Chapter 198 Accept It Without Regret
At Daltonia Villa, just as Cecilia finished her call with Vivian, Calvin's call cthrough.
She answered promptly, and Calvin said, “I arranged for Sean to meet with Stella again today.” Cecilia's heart
skipped a beat. Is Stella really hurt by Sean?
“Do you know?” Calvin continued. “That woman wanted him dead. If it weren't for my men, he would have
nearly lost his life.”
Calvin explained that he had been orchestrating events to reveal Stella's true nature to Sean. However, Sean,
stubbornly refusing to believe the truth, even went so far as to find Stella's house. Initially, Stella pretended to
offer comfort, but later, she shockingly slipped him a sleeping pill. Once he was unconscious, she planned to
stage an accidental death by turning on the gas. Fortunately, Calvin's men intervened in tand rescued Sean,
forcibly removing Stella before her plan could succeed.
Stella, in a state of panic, began to harm herself and then played the victim, claiming that an obsessed fan had
broken into her hand attacked her.

Cecilia was shocked and horrified to hear that. | can’t believe how cruel Stella is!
Her suspicions were confirmed-this entire situation was nothing more than a deceitful act orchestrated by Stella
herself.
Calvin grew concerned when Cecilia didn’t immediately respond. “Cecilia, are you all right?”
“I'm fine,” Cecilia replied, snapping back to reality. “I just didn’t expect her to be so ruthless.”
“Given that she’s cthis far as an orphan, she clearly has her share of tricks,” Calvin said, his gaze darkening
with an inscrutable look. “You need to be cautious with someone like her.”
He paused for a moment before cautiously asking, “Have you sorted out the matter of your pregnancy?”
Cecilia responded honestly, “Yes, it's taken care of.”
“Good. I'll retrieve Elliot as soon as possible, and then we'll head back.”
Cecilia felt a pang of worry. She had visited the place where Elliot was kept and knew the security there was
extremely tight, a far cry from the hospital's. It would be a challenging task to bring him out.
“Could we wait a few more days? I'll try to find a way to persuade Nathaniel to release Eli willingly.”
Cecilia was concerned that Calvin might get hurt or risk offending Nathaniel because of her. She felt deeply
indebted to Calvin.
Standing on the balcony, Calvin stared into the pitch-black night, his throat tightening. In recent days, he had
heard from Seven that Cecilia and Nathaniel had been inseparable and seemed very close. Although he
understood Cecilia's intention to conceive, he was, after all, only human. It was painful to see the woman he
cared for so deeply with another man.
“All right,” Calvin said, ultimately choosing to respect Cecilia’s decision.
After ending the call, he to look at Sean, who had just awoken on the hospital bed. Sean's eyes. were hollow as
he murmured, “I gave up a fiancée who lovedfor eight years, invested all my money, and even harmed
others-all for her-and she wanteddead!”
Calvin stepped forward, his expression cold. “So now you regret it?”
Sean looked at Calvin, his eyes filled with bitterness. “Of course! | wish | could have killed her right then and
there!”

Calvin said nothing and walked out of the ward. The bodyguards stationed outside bowed. respectfully as he
passed.
He stepped out of the hospital and reflected that if Cecilia ultimately chose Nathaniel, he would accept it without
regret because his feelings for her were his own choice and not imposed by anyone.
He would continue to treat her kindly even if his love faded, as they would remain friends.
A luxury car pulled up, and the window rolled down to reveal the face of a handsman. “Calvin, get in,” he
called.
It was Yannick, a close friend of Calvin. While Calvin was abroad, Yannick managed all the domestic business
affairs.
Once Calvin got into the car, Yannick let out a sigh. “The recent projects have faltered again, all because of
Nathaniel. It seems he’s determined to go against you. We're financially stable for now, but if those old-timers
overseas catch wind of this, we'll be in serious trouble”
Yannick had actually said all that to persuade Calvin to give up on Nathaniel’s wife. Why did Calvin have to fall «
for a married woman, of all people?
