Chapter 1286Chapter 1286
The news of the will took everyone by utter surprise.
Directors that had ulterior motives had originally tried to confirm if Weston Ford’s life was in critical
danger so as to divide the Ford family.
They initially thought that Weston’s family would do anything to deny this rumor, but to their surprise,
Weston had suddenly issued his will.
In the will, Daisy Douglas was stipulated to be the acting president of Ford Corporation.
This revelation astounded everyone, initially assuming that Xavier Ford was the most likely successor, or,
perhaps, Chris Ford, at the very least.
No one would ever think that he would actually let his secretary take the helm.
But when Stella heard of the news, she barely showed a
reaction.
Roger, who was beside her, frowned and asked, “Do you want to visit him? I heard he’s finally woken
up.”
“No,” she replied. “If he wants to see me, he’ll come
himself.”
Since he had done no such thing, it was clear that their relationship had been completely severed.
“Not everyone can forget the sting of abandonment,” she said. “He had discarded me once, and I’ve
abandoned him once, so we’re fair and square now. I’m sure he would never bother me anymore.”
She spoke very calmly and casually, as if she had taken nothing to heart at all.
But Roger fell silent for a long time before he chuckled as if mocking himself. “If it weren’t for me, your
relationship with him wouldn’t have come to this point…‘
Stella found those words rather amusing. She walked up to him and poured him a glass of water, then
asked him, Why are you beating yourself up about it now? Didn’t you always dread that I might end up
together with Weston again?”
))
Roger was not sure how to describe his own feelings at that point. Perhaps it was because he had seen
with his own eyes that Weston was willing to risk his life to save Stella, and that filled him with a sense of
regret.
It had been his own willfulness that had ultimately
((
harmed Weston on Snow Mountain. He had almost lost
his own life there.
It was then that he realized perhaps the feelings Weston had for Stella might be real and genuine love.
Roger was not dumb. Of course, he knew that this might be the case, but he was still unwilling to admit
to the fact.
After all, Weston did, in fact, hurt Stella deeply in the past, even though he could not deny that he was
sincere in his affection for Stella right now. Roger was terribly conflicted. He found himself unable to
make up his mind about the matter.
“Why am I thinking about this now…?” he chuckled wryly at himself and, with a voice laced with
impatience,
told
Stella, “Even if you want to take him back now, it might just be too late. I heard that his condition is still
pretty critical. It’s still unclear if he might live. Even if he does end up living, he might suffer a serious
side–effect from the injury. It’s likely that the rumors that he has woken up might all be false. After all, this
news about his will sounds a bit fishy to me.”
Roger thought it was more likely that this news of Weston Ford issuing a will might just be something
they
released just to make the people in his company feel
more at ease and might not have anything to do with
Weston Ford at all.
But then again, none of this concerned them anymore.
And so Stella stopped paying any attention to any news about Weston from then on as if she wanted to
completely remove him from her world.
And just like that, several months passed without any incident.
But Roger noticed that Stella’s eyes still had not recovered yet. He had a doctor examine her eyes before and she was confirmed to suffer from snow blindness, which
was not a serious condition. However, in some rare cases, it might lead to permanent loss of sight.
Nevertheless, based on Stella’s condition, she should recover within a few
months.
But it had been four months, and Stella showed no signs of getting better. In fact, all she could see now
was but a blur.
Worst of all, she could not return to work in this state, severely affecting her lifestyle.
