Revenge After Death ( Michael Ford )

Chapter 317

"Stephie...

When Steven woke up, his face was as pale as a corpse.

"Stephie!" Steven sat up in a panic, reaching to pull out the IV nece in his hand.

"Steven, are you crazy?" Eason stopped Steven and yelled angrily, "Hold still!"

Eason's fingers were wrapped in gauze. He was badly bitten by Steven in the car earlier.

"Get lost!" Steven pushed Eason away, forcefully pulling out the IV needle and rushing out of the ward.

"Steven, stop being so crazy!" Eason pushed Steven hard.

Steven glared at Eason angrily. "You promised... that you would protect her for me. That's why I agreed to your plan!"

Steven's voice was trembling as he grabbed Eason's collar and punched him in the face with a bloodied

fist.

But now? Stephie and his child were gone...

Eason fell to the ground, wiping the blood from his mouth. He felt a bit guilty. "This... was my fault. You suddenly ran out of the asylum, and I was caught off guard. I didn't have time to prepare.

"I didn't expect Dax to lose control and go after you and Stephany just because Martin provoked him.. "You deserve to die too..." Steven's emotions were out of control as he grabbed Eason's collar and punched him again.

Eason was also frustrated. "You're the one who wanted to prove your innocence. You almost died for Stephanie before. And now, you're doing it all over again for a fake one...

"Stop hitting me... I was wrong, okay? I owe you one for this...

"Stop hitting my face!"

I stood at the door, my fingers tingling.

It was Eason who asked Steven to go into the asylum?

What had Steven done for me all this time?

"Steven..." I called out his name softly, my voice hoarse.

Steven's body stiffened. He looked up at me helplessly and lowered his head nervously.

He wanted to run over and hug me, but he was afraid I would blame him. So, he lowered his head and dared not speak.

I walked over. Ignoring Eason's swollen face, I choked out the words, "Steven... hug me."

Steven's eyes welled up with tears in an instant. He stood up and saw me with my arms open. He suddenly pulled me into his arms and hugged me tightly.

Eason wanted to explain further, but he was stopped by Zion and Rachel. They each gave him a kick before dragging him out by the collar.

The door of the ward closed. We listened to each other's heartbeats in the enclosed and quiet

environment.

"Stephie... I'm sorry. It's all my fault." Steven blamed himself, holding my hand tightly. He hated himself.

He hated himself for not protecting me.

All accidents could not be fully predicted, and life was the same. Accidents happened. But we couldn't let accidents stop us from moving forward.

"Steven, we have to live on..." I whispered, patting Steven's back. "Our baby... was just Martin's first warning to us."

The old dogs hunt the best. Martin could reach his current position, even going so far as to use one of his incompetent sons as a pawn. This showed how deep and ruthless his schemes were. "Even if Martin successfully takes over the Lincoln Group now, the shares of the Lincoln Group are still in our hands..." I took a deep breath and looked up at Steven. "We need support."

I looked at Steven seriously.

At this point, if we didn't have strong support and partners, we would be too passive in front of Martin. Ewan told me that the president of Crowdstar Group is someone Martin wants to curry favor with. We have the shares of the Lincoln Group in our hands, and we're easier to control than Martin.

"Martin, who has a dark history, will run into trouble sooner or later. If the president of Crowdstar Group is smart, he should know what to choose."

I was confident that if I met with the president of Crowdstar Group, I could convince him to collaborate with us instead of taking a risk by working with Martin.
