Chapter 14
There was a sudden scream in the ward, followed by the sound of things being smashed.
Hugo quickly pushed the wheelchair into the room and saw a mess in the ward. The nutritional supplements carefully selected by Marcella for Steffie were all shattered on the ground, with glass shards scattered like countless sharp ice crystals, splashing and reflecting a cold, glaring light in the sunlight.
The photo of the kiss that Marcella specially captured for Hugo and Steffie at the wedding banquet was also fiercely smashed against the wall by Marcella. Steffie’s smile in the photo was also pierced diagonally by a sinister shard of glass, instantly becoming shattered and eerie.
Marcella was panting heavily, her chest heaving, her eyes bloodshot with intense anger and pain, tightly gripping Marley’s hair and dragging it forcefully outward.
Steffie, on the side, was still feeling weak all over because the anesthesia hadn’t worn off yet. She fell to the ground as soon as she got out of bed.
And Hugo in the wheelchair just looked at her coldly, watching her struggle to get up from the ground, kneeling at Hugo’s feet, tears streaming down her pale face.
Hugo had seen Steffie in many different ways before, but it was the first time he had seen her look so scared.
“Hugo, listen to me, I didn’t mean to hurt the children, I just loved you too much to do it, please, for the sake of me giving birth to two children for you, don’t drive me away, okay?”

Before today, Steffie always felt that her life was particularly smooth.

Although she was Steffie’s father’s illegitimate daughter, she still received plenty of love. As she grew up, she also won Marcella’s favor and eventually had a child with the person she loved.
Although Hugo had a woman he liked, he gradually fell for her because she didn’t care about fame or having children.
Everything is over now.
Hugo knew, Marcella knew, the entire Bernard family knew!
Steffie’s father had his own wife and daughters, and attending her wedding was the final courtesy. Her only way out in the future was to hold onto the Bernard family, the only big tree.
She absolutely could not lose Hugo!
“Child?”
Hugo finally spoke, his voice incredibly cold.
“In your eyes, the child is just a tool for you to get my attention. What right do you have to criticize her?”
“Steffie, for the sake of the children, I will give you a check for ten million dollars, and I don’t want to see you again in the future.”
Two short sentences were like a knife that completely severed Steffie’s last hope, and also like a cold wind that extinguished the light in her eyes.
Seeing Hugo about to turn and leave in his wheelchair, Steffie found the strength from somewhere to get up and chase after him.
The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen. She froze, unable to believe what she saw under her skirt.

Just then, the warm blood gushed out like a burst dam, pooling into a lake of blood at her feet.
“No, don’t –!”
It was another rainy day, the damp air tightly enveloping the Bernard family, keeping the air outside at bay.
The Bernard family’s faces were all covered with a thick gloom, and their actions were cautious, afraid of upsetting the host.
After a series of setbacks, Marcella was completely bedridden, and Edwin had to let Hugo temporarily take over the company’s business in order to take care of his wife.
Hugo was searching for Adeline’s whereabouts while also dealing with the company’s business.
Just a week later, Hugo’s face was covered with exhaustion.
Looking at the bodyguard bowing his head in front of him, Hugo raised his hand and pinched his brow, “Still haven’t found it?”
The bodyguard didn’t say anything, he just buried his head deeper.
After seeing the true colors of Steffie and Marley, Marcella finally remembered the goodness of Adeline and agreed to let Hugo marry her.
When Hugo heard Marcella announce this decision, his heart was filled with complexity.
When Edwin and Marcella sent Adeline away, they bought her a ticket to Finland.
Only after Hugo’s people arrived in Finland were they informed by the locals that Adeline had never come. They had to ask the airline company

After changing her flight, Adeline went to the place where she was supposed to go, only to be told that Adeline had taken the local train. As for where she went, no one knew.
The clue was completely lost like this.
