My Sleeping Beauty Husband by Lyanna Nichols Chapter 167 Atonement

When Stella said this in a hoarse voice, she couldn’t hold back anymore. Her teary eyes were full of

remorse and guilt.

After so many years, she finally apologized to her son.

But there was no emotion on Alston’s face. It had been so many years, and an apology wouldn’t

change anything because he had already put everything aside. But the harm Stella had done to him

would never be erased.

Stella kept crying in the quiet room. After a long time, she calmed down and wiped away her tears.

“Alston, I know you won’t forgive me, and I didn’t expect you to forgive me. I’m not worthy of being a

mother. I’m content to see you before I die.”

Stella smiled without the slightest meanness on her face.

After a full minute, Alston spoke in a low voice, “I sent you to rehab. Why did you run away?”

If she hadn’t escaped, she might have successfully quit. She wouldn’t have become like this, and her

life would have

been saved.

“Alston, it’s too painful!” Stella smiled wryly. “I tried it, but I wanted to die countless times. When the

drug addiction kicked in, I could only be suppressed forcibly. They tied me to the bedpost, let me bite

the towel, and held on. The pain was endless and hopeless. I really couldn’t hold on anymore…”

Stella kept repeating while covering her face. Tears couldn’t stop streaming down again.

Those people were all strangers. She had no relatives or friends around her, and she could only get

through it alone.

She had never suffered like this since she was a child, so she didn’t hold on. At that time, she only

wanted to escape. After she ran, she hid somewhere and bought drugs with the living expenses that

Alston gave her. At last, she overdosed and fell on the side of the road.

“I regret it, I really regret it…” Stella muttered.

She had too many regrets.

She cried so loudly that she woke up the sleeping babies. Keller babbled, and her soft sound directly

stopped Stella’s

crying.

Mrs. Lewis was afraid that Keller would cry, so she hugged her and coaxed her for a while. Keller didn’t

cry and looked around the strange environment in curiosity, which seemed smart and cute.

Desmond also woke up and rolled his eyes lazily in silence. His white and tender face was very similar

to Alston’s, and he rubbed in Cynthia’s arms lazily when he smelled her.

Stella was stunned by the movement of the two little guys. She couldn’t believe it until she realized that

Cynthia and Mrs. Lewis were standing behind holding the baby. She kept talking to Alston just now, so

she hadn’t noticed them.

“Alston, you brought the babies here!” She became even more excited and stretched out her hand to

Cynthia. “Come

here! Let me hug them!”

Cynthia glanced at Alston, saw him nodding, and walked to the bed with Mrs. Lewis.

Stella looked at the cute baby in their arms. Her eyes were red, and she was very excited. These were

her grandchildren.

She had done so many bad things before and almost killed them.

The two babies had never seen Stella before, so they looked at her curiously. They were not frightened

by her frightening appearance, and Keller even babbled to her.

The soft voice made Stella burst into tears, “These two children are wonderful. Unfortunately, I have no

chance to see

you grow up.”

Cynthia was touched. Although Stella had done many bad things, she still felt rather sad seeing her in

such a

miserable state.

Stella raised her head, looked at Cynthia, and pursed her lips. “Cynthia, I did a lot of bad things to you

sorry. I will definitely pay for my sins if there is an afterlife.”

before. I’m

Cynthia shook her head quickly, “The past is the past.”

Although these bad things were tricky, they didn’t hurt her. Stella was dying, so the punishment she had

received was enough.

“By the way, your children are a month old. I have something to…” She reached under the pillow, trying

to get

something.

But at this moment, both Cynthia and Mrs. Lewis subconsciously took two steps back with the children

in their arms, looking at Stella warily.

Stella paused. Then, she took out a small package from under the pillow and took off the handkerchief

wrapping, revealing two exquisite small boxes. She gently placed them beside the bed and seemed at

a loss.

“I just… I just want to give the babies a gift. These are two small silver bracelets. Since I knew the

babies were born, I have been saving money. Even if I longed for drugs, I didn’t spend a penny. Here

they are. These are rather cheap, and I hope you don’t mind…”

Cynthia pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty. “I’m sorry, I thought, I thought…”

She didn’t know how to say it. She thought Stella wanted to harm the baby, so she stepped back

subconsciously.

Stella smiled bitterly and shook her head, “It’s okay to be on guard against me. I was vicious, and I

even hated

myself.”

Cynthia looked at the two small boxes beside the bed. She learned that Stella was unkempt and dirty

when she was discovered, but the two boxes were well–preserved and clean.

“Alston, help the babies wear the bracelets.” Cynthia shook Desmond in her hand and said to Alston

with a smile.

Stella thought Alston would refuse, but he only hesitated for a second before picking up the boxes and

putting the

bracelets on the babies‘ arms.

The silver bracelets were exquisite and small, and small bells were hanging on them. When the babies

raised their hands, the bells made a crisp sound.

When Keller heard it, she kept shaking her little hand curiously, making herself giggle. Desmond was

rarely interested in anything, but he also kept staring at the bracelet on his little wrist.

Stella looked at the clever and lovely grandchildren. Although she wanted to hug them very much, she

didn’t have much strength now. She was afraid she would hurt the babies, so she didn’t reach out and

just leaned on the pillow to

look at them.

Desmond looked almost identical to Alston when he was a baby.

Stella kept staring at Desmond and was lost in her memories. When Alston was born, he was cute and

chubby as well.

At that time, he was the child she gave birth to after all the difficulties, and she used to love him so

much.

She knew that Bryan first set his sights on her younger sister Rosalia, and Stella stole this marriage

from her.

However, Bryan treated her pretty well after he married Stella. Although he didn’t have much love, he

still protected het all the time. But Stella kept doubting that Bryan had an affair and even made herself

a psychopath.

While looking at the baby, Stella suddenly froze. Her eyes widened, cold sweat broke out on her

forehead, and her limbs began to twitch.

Her drug addiction kicked in again. Stella gritted her teeth tightly, and her face flushed as she tried to

control herself. Fearing that the babies would see her terrifying appearance, she hurriedly asked

Cynthia to take the children away.

Cynthia and Mrs. Lewis quickly left the ward. Alston and Greg immediately called for a doctor to rescue

Stella.

They all stood in the corridor gravely, knowing that Stella might not make it this time.
