Hadwin Stephenson suddenly stiffened. Then, he slowly looked up at her as if in slow motion. “What… are you doing
here?” he asked hoarsely with a forced smile.
She was taken aback by the exhausted look on his face. “Are you exhausted from your trip overseas? You look so
tired. Why don’t you go home and rest? You can continue with your work after having a good rest.”
Lina said as she walked up to Hadwin Stephenson. “What time did you come back today? You didn’t call me when

Lina froze. “What’s the matter? Did… something happen?”
Her voice was so gentle, and the weight on his heart only grew
heavier.
How was he going to tell her that the real culprit who almost killed her and their baby was his mother? How was he
going to tell her that he had only gotten justice by stopping his mother from ever leaving the old castle?

Hadwin Stephenson slowly looked up and stared at Lina. “My mother was the one behind the poison injection,
causing you and our baby to almost die?”
Lina froze, then shock filled her face. “Your mother?”

“Yes, my mother.” He smiled wrily, but the expression seemed like he was about to burst into xo.com fast

Lina held Hadwin Stephenson’s face and said, “Your mother did that, not you. I won’t blame you. All I know is that
