Chapter 364 - 393 Was I Wrong?
Charlotte Smith followed behind him, her head slightly bowed, momentarily at a loss for words.
In the deep of night, the hospital lights were bright as day, and towards the emergency room, doctors and nurses rushed about hurriedly.
Everyone knew that lying in the operating room at this moment was the wife of the Stephens family’s president.
Edward Stephens stopped not far from the operating room door. He looked up at the lit red lamp above the door, his young and handsome face appearing somewhat cold under the lights.
The atmosphere in the air was particularly tense and tight; Charlotte Smith felt this night was so chilly it was somewhat panic-inducing.
Edward Stephens launched a massive search for Daisy Ginger, and from that to Daisy’s jump, it had only been a few short hours.
She couldn’t understand how things could have deteriorated to this point.
Didn’t want this child; did she also not want her own life?
The main thing was... she really seemed...
Not like someone who would commit suicide.
Incomprehensible.
The man looked towards the direction of the operating room and suddenly asked, "Charlotte, do you think I really made a mistake?"
Charlotte Smith’s thoughts snapped back, turning her head to look at the young and noble man beside her.
He was three years younger than her. Right now, this delicate face, with brows slightly furrowed, finally could not maintain calm, revealing traces of pain.
Charlotte Smith looked at him, not knowing why, felt somewhat disoriented.
She thought back to a long, long time ago...
The first time she met Edward Stephens.
Then, she was only fifteen, brought into the Stephens family for the first time, selected by Robert Stephens from over a hundred men and women as the lucky one, who from now on would be at his side.
Since childhood, she was taught that her birth was for the mission of the Smith family’s prosperity, as the Smith family’s heir, her only use was to ensure the prosperity of the Smith family, born attached to the Stephens.
To be selected by Robert Stephens, and from that day forth stay by his side, who knew how many families, born attached to the Stephens, would be jealous and envious.
On her fifteenth birthday, she met Robert Stephens, and beside him, Edward Stephens, who at twelve had already received an admission letter from Harvard Business School.
He was a famous genius from an early age, fluent in recitation at three, completed all high school courses by six, from then on raised by Robert Stephens, taught personally.
Those who knew these brothers all said Robert Stephens treated this half-sibling brother like he was his own child.
But everyone knew, even though Edward Stephens was more intelligent and talented, he could only serve as Robert Stephens’s assistant and could not legitimately inherit the Stephens family.
Just like she was born for the Smith family, Edward Stephens could only exist as Robert Stephens’s shadow his whole life.
Yet that young master stood beside Robert Stephens, his eyes remarkably clear, with no trace of gloom.
He had a purity and authenticity that the Stephens family lacked.
And somehow, from that crucial meeting, she only remembered that youthful pair of cool, clear, transparent eyes.
...
He abandoned everything for freedom to go far away, yet returned willingly to the cage for her; no matter how genius, he could not escape the word "love."
Only uncertain whether Edward Stephens, in the future, would regret giving up so much for Daisy Ginger, sacrificing so much.
"Charlotte, do you think I really made a mistake?"
Charlotte Smith did not know how to answer him.
She hung her head in silence; Edward Stephens also did not ask these unanswerable questions again.
