Chapter 1316
Weston had never once mentioned those things to her at all.
Stella fell silent for a long time.
Henry said nothing more after that. He noticed that Angelina had been staring gravely at him the whole time, but in
the end, he managed to blurt out everything that was on his mind.
Angelina had simply turned away from him now, no longer in the mood to pay any attention to him.
The atmosphere grew tense and heavy.
In the end, it was Angelina who broke the silence and said, “Okay, let’s stop talking about these unhappy things.
You’re getting discharged today, aren’t you?”
Stella nodded.
“The doctor said he wanted to observe my condition for a little longer, but I’ll be able to leave this evening.”

table at a restaurant.”
“Okay,” Stella replied simply.
Angelina was then satisfied enough to stand up and walk towards Henry, telling him, “Okay, we can go now.”
As she spoke, she grabbed his arm and tried to pull him out of the room.
As they passed the bed, Stella sat up and asked Henry coldly, “Was everything you’ve told me just now true?”
“Do I have any reason to lie?” Henry argued, pausing to shoot a glance at her. Stella’s empty eyes gazed vacantly
at the blanket. He added, “I know many things have happened between you two, and I know he’s done so much to
hurt you. But think about it, what would you have done if you were in his shoes?
“I’m not trying to help him here, but I just want to point out that perhaps he might not be the evil monster you think
he is. At the very least, his feelings for you are genuine.”
After that, he quickly strode out of the room and left.
Though Angelina glared at him the whole time, he acted as if he didn’t see her. When they reached the hallway,
Angeline shook his hand off unhappily and snapped, ” I’ve been shooting you looks, telling you to stop! Why did you
have to tell Stella all those things about Weston Ford?”
“Because apart from you, there are others who are also important to me.”
He looked straight into her eyes and said, “Weston is the closest friend I ever had. I didn’t do anything that you
wouldn’t want me to do. Besides, I’ve watched Weston waste away for years, and I can’t go on without doing
anything…

“Of course, you’ve always been such a loyal friend,” Angelina said. “Just as you are with Guinevere Cohen. You
failed to win her heart, so you loved her like a sister instead, didn’t you?”
Henry’s face turned sullen. Angelina had once again brought up Guinevere.
“Haven’t you moved on?” he asked her. “I’ve completely severed ties with her. I didn’t see her even after her fall

“I don’t want you to do anything!” Angelina shoved his hand away, her face twisted with rage. “You did all that on
your own accord! If you are unwilling to, however, you’re always free to stop!”
She then turned on her heels and left him.
Henry watched as she stomped away, himself accosted by a throbbing headache.
He had been too agitated just now and said something that he regretted.
“Wait!” he said, running after Angelina. “I didn’t mean it that way… “
Meanwhile, Stella lay in the private ward with her eyes closed, though Henry’s words wouldn’t stop swirling around
her head.
She had never expected Weston’s life to be so miserable during the past three years. She had always assumed that
his passionate feelings for her were all talk, that his life had been completely unaffected, and that he had moved on
after her death without difficulty.
Never would she have thought that, in those three years, Weston had really fallen in love with her.
The corners of her mouth twitched. She chuckled wryly, as if she was mocking herself.
If only he had fallen in love with her sooner, they would never have ended up this way.
