CHAPTER 452 SHE'S AFRAID STEFAN IS IN DANGER

Chapter 452 She's Afraid Stefan Is in Danger

Hospital.

After Martha woke up, Stefan stayed by her bedside, never leaving her

When her condition improved slightly, Stefan helped her sit up and lean against the edge of the bed.

"How do you feel now?"

"Okay."

Martha replied weakly, still very pale in complexion.

Stefan noticed the dryness of her lips and nervously brought over a glass of water.

"Are you thirsty? Have some water."

"Okay."

Martha responded hoarsely, with a wry smile unconsciously showing on the corner of her mouth.

She hadn't expected to see Stefan again after running away from their wedding day.

But it was good to see him again.

Soon enough, Stefan brought over a cup of warm water and even brought along a small spoon. He sat

by the bed and fed Martha spoonfuls of water while carefully wiping away any drips that spilled out.

After feeding Martha almost half a cup of water, he kindly asked if she wanted more:

"Do you want more water?"Exclusive content from .

"No need."

After drinking some water, Martha felt less discomfort in her throat but still had an extremely hoarse

voice.

Stefan nodded slightly, turned his head and put the cup and spoon together on the bedside table.

After placing them down carefully, he looked at Martha with concern all over his face before asking

softly, "Is there anything uncomfortable? Do you want me to call for a doctor?"

"I'm fine," said Martha with a pale smile as she answered hoarsely.

The next second, she suddenly thought of something, looked at the man sitting by the hospital bed with

a puzzled face, and asked in confusion.

"How did you get here?"

Stefan looked at Martha's pale complexion; his eyes deepened as he hesitated whether or not to tell

her what had happened.

The woman on the bed seemed to understand his hesitation, frowned slightly, and said hoarsely,

"Stefan, I want to hear the truth."

The man sighed helplessly, and spoke the truth.

"Actually, I came to Z Country a long time ago. After you left, I used all my connections but couldn't find

any trace of where you went."

"Later, it was Eden who said that Louis had a problem, and it was only then that we found out that you

came to Z Country. After knowing the news, Eden and I rushed all the way here."

"Some time ago, I saw you in the mall, but you didn't see me."

When Martha heard this, her body froze slightly, and she immediately thought of the scene in the mall

that day.

She had heard a voice calling out to her and had thought it was just her imagination, but it turned out

not to be.

At this moment, Stefan reached out and grabbed Martha's hand, looking at the latter affectionately.

"Don't try to run away from me this time, No matter where you go, I'll be there with you," he said.

Martha pursed her lips tightly and did not speak.

When she was in a coma, she kept hearing a hoarse voice talking about Jimmy and his father beside

the hospital bed, and she wasn't sure if it was real or not.

With that in her mind, she couldn't help asking a question.

"How is my father doing since I left?"

"Mr. Doyle is doing well; he sees his doctor for check-ups regularly so don't worry," Stefan replied softly

while looking deeply into Martha's eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, Martha asked about Jimmy and Bianca. "What about Jimmy and

Bianca?"

When mentioning Jimmy, Martha couldn't help feeling guilty because he was only five years old and

she left him behind without any explanation.

If Jimmy knew what happened to her in Z Country, he would definitely blame her for leaving him.

But she must find out the truth about her mother's death.

Sitting beside Martha on the hospital bed, Stefan noticed guilt in her eyes so he gently stroked her

head with one hand while speaking softly.

"Don't worry; nobody blames you for anything because they all know that you had your reasons for

leaving them behind like that."

Hearing these words made Martha feel warm inside because deep down inside herself all along she

wanted nothing more than returning home again.

But the truth about her mother's death hadn't been investigated yet, so she was unwilling to leave like

this.

Eden, who was standing outside the ward at this time, saw this scene and thought it was quite

beautiful.

He wished that from now on they could always be together forever... But alas! He had no choice but to

enter into this perfect moment between them by breaking up their conversation-

"Stefan."

Stefan noticed that Eden's tone was wrong, frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

Eden sighed helplessly and spoke with a serious expression, saying what needed to be said, "Just

now, Louis' men came to report that we need to leave as soon as possible. The kind already knows

that Martha has woken up and is on his way here."

Upon hearing this news, Stefan's expression froze. He couldn't help feeling angry at the thought of the

king being able to openly accompany Martha while she was supposed to be with him.

Martha was clearly his woman but he had no choice but to leave her behind.

He wanted nothing more than to take her away right now but she was still weak and he couldn't do it.

Martha needed further medical treatment and time for her body to recover.

Stefan's eyes were filled with complex emotions as he struggled with whether or not they should leave.

Finally, it was Martha who broke the tense atmosphere by speaking first. "You need to go," she said

firmly.

If Ducasse found out about what had happened between Stefan and her, he wouldn't let Stefan off

easily. In this situation, she didn't want anything bad happening to him either.

Just when Stefan was hesitating, Eden's eager voice sounded, which became the final straw weighing

down on him.

"Stefan, if you don't leave now, you are causing trouble for Martha."

The man heard these words and his eyes darkened while the hand resting at his side unconsciously

tightened into a fist.

It was true; Martha was already in a difficult position all alone in Z Country - adding more trouble would

only make things harder for her.

Reluctantly looking back at the pale-faced woman lying on the hospital bed beside him - Stefan

hoarsely whispered, "Martha... wait for me."

"I'll definitely take you away from here," he promised silently before turning around slowly until his

figure disappeared from view entirely.

Martha nodded slightly, pursed her pale lips tightly, and said nothing.

In that moment - Martha realized how much she truly missed him.

It was not until then that she realized that she had forgiven him long ago.

From the beginning when she made things difficult for him and would only give him another chance if

he caught fireflies, she never thought that this man would really attract fireflies for herself in the winter.

Later, when she agreed upon marriage, he knew that something was wrong, but he still tried his best to

give her the best and grandest wedding.

Suddenly, she thought of how brave Stefano had been saving her life during their trip at amusement

park...

He came to a foreign country in order to find her, and lived a life that was no longer that of a CEO.

He had come all this way just to see her, but he willingly guarded her silently and began to think about

her needs and concerns.

When she saw Stefan again, instead of feeling the same rejection as before, she felt nostalgia welling

up inside. Just like earlier when King Ducasse asked about him, she didn't want him to know that

Stefan existed because she was afraid that Stefan would be in danger.

It turned out that she had forgiven this man long ago; it was just that she didn't realize it until now...
