Chapter 159
“Aunt Diana, why didn’t you tell me about your surgery?”
Stephanie felt a little unhappy. But she was more surprised.
She thought, ‘Diana seemed to trust the new doctor very much. Who is he? Diana has always been aloof. She doesn’t trust people easily.
“You didn’t tell me about your divorce last time. I saw it on TV,” Diana retorted Stephanie.
“I was afraid that you would get angry. You may feel uncomfortable.”
Stephanie felt a little guilty. She couldn’t help but look at Dominick.
Dominick just happened to be staring at her.
Their eyes met. Dominick raised his eyebrows. He used his expression to remind Stephanie to explain everything to Diana immediately.
Stephanie felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him. She turned her head slightly.
Stephanie pondered, ‘Oops. I didn’t tell Diana that I married yet.
Stephanie hesitated. She didn’t speak. Diana suppressed her complicated emotions and sighed, “After so many years, I found that your grandfather had a good insight.”
Stephanie was a little confused.
Diana lowered her voice. She said, “I mean when you were a child, your grandfather chose your future husband, Oscar.”
Hearing these words, Stephanie widened her eyes sightly. Her whole body tensed up.
Dominick frowned. He looked at Stephanie’s strange expression.
Just as Stephanie was about to ask something, Diana sighed and continued, “Steffi, you were so young and impulsive at the time. You hurt his self-
esteem.”
“Oscar was so petty. I just said something wrong. He left me without hesitation. He still ignored me for many years. I wanted to apologize to him
but I couldn’t find him.”
Stephanie tightly grasped the wooden box in her left hand. She suddenly became a little excited. The black glass window reflected her slightly red
eyes.
In fact, it was just an ordinary quarrel. Stephanie was sure that Oscar would come back to her.
But for so many years, Oscar seemed to have disappeared from the earth.
Stephanie wanted Oscar to come back. But he was gone.
Oscar left.
“There’s nothing good about him. I won’t look for him anymore.”
Stephanie always sounded a little stubborn. It seemed that she had been indulged for a long time.
Diana smiled gently on the phone, “Steffi, although you were the lady of the Reed family, you were spoiled by your grandfather. Oscar always agreed with you in everything. He was autistic and quiet when he was a child. You rejected his marriage proposal in person that day. You said you didn’t want to see him again.”
Stephanie pressed her lips. She felt sad and ashamed.
Stephanie thought, ‘I know I hurt him. That day, even my grandfather was furious!
“He’s still mad at me. I don’t know where he went.” Stephanie’s voice sounded muffled.
Diana chuckled. She knew that Stephanie had a stubborn personality but a soft heart.
“Steffi, you two grew up together. You know Oscar’s temper best. He had never been mad at you. He didn’t need your apology. He just encountered some things over the years.”
Diana paused. Her smile became even more intense,
“Oscar is back. He performed the surgery on me. It was a success. He is with me now, Steffi, do you want to talk to him?”
Chapter 159
Stephanie’s brain was buzzing. She sat straight. Her right hand was tightening around the phone.
Stephanie didn’t hear clearly what Diana said next. But she heard what she said before.
Stephanie wondered, ‘Oscar is back. It was really him. He was the person I met before!
“What happened?” Dominick asked in a calm voice.
Dominick vaguely heard them say that someone was back. He could tell that Stephanie cared about the person a lot.
Dominick frowned. Just when he wanted to get closer to Stephanie, the driver suddenly braked.
Stephanie was caught off guard. She rushed forward. Dominick reacted quickly and protected her. The car soon stopped steadily.
At the intersection where they were about to exit the highway, a black van was cutting in line.
“Are you injured?”
Dominick asked her. Stephanie shook her head in a daze. Her phone fell under the car. She bent down to pick it up.
“Steffi, what happened?” Diana also felt something was wrong.
She heard a man’s voice. Diana was familiar with this voice.
She asked anxiously, “Steffi, who is next to you?”
