Chapter 1579
They helped Stella take a bath and wanted to take her to a hotel to rest. However, Stella insisted on
waiting for Henry’s surgery to finish because she was worried about him. When she heard from the
doctor that Henry’s surgery was successful, she finally felt relieved.
Henry was still unconscious from the anesthesia. Once Stella knew he was okay, with Harper’s
persuasion, she got up. But before she could leave the room, a bodyguard sent by Griffon suddenly
came in with a phone call.
“Alpha, Eric is dead.”
Griffon froze for a moment. Without waiting for the bodyguard to finish, he immediately hung up the
phone and turned to look at Stella, who was slowing down her steps.
After hesitating for two seconds, he spoke, “Stella, Eric is dead…”
Stella’s body suddenly stiffened. Whether it was fear or something else, she felt her hands tremble in
an instant, followed by her legs weakening and her inability to stand steadily.

by now.
Hel’ face gradually turned pale, and her once sturdy back that refused to turn also visibly slumped
down…
She froze in place, not knowing how long, until Griffon’ cold voice came again from her ear, and she
slowly turned her head…
“What?”
She didn’t hear anything clearly just now, as if the whole world had become silent, leaving only the
ringing in her ears and the explosive wailing in her mind, preventing her from hearing what Alpha
said…
Griffon held his phone tightly and took heavy steps towards Stella.
“The police temporarily won’t let anyone touch his body. If you want to see him, you can see him for the
last time before they arrive.”
Eric died from a gunshot, which was a criminal case and required the crime scene to be sealed. In
addition, the American police were also investigating Eric’s whereabouts, so the body couldn’t be easily
taken away.
Stella, still in a daze, heard the words “body” and finally realized that Eric was really dead. But he was
so skilled in medicine, how could this happen…
When he was young, he had once survived a gunshot wound in the wilderness, performing the surgery
himself. Back then, he
anaged to pull through, so why now…
Stella lowered her gaze to her hands, which were already clean with no traces of blood. But for some
reason, she still felt like her hands were covered in blood…
After staring at them for a long time, she suddenly let go of Taya and Harper’s hands, rushed out of the
ward, and ran into the restroom. She desperately tried to wash off the “blood” from her hands, but no
matter how hard she tried, it wouldn’t come off.
Feeling powerless, she leaned her hands against the edge of the sink, looked up at herself in the
mirror-pale face, lips devoid of color, dark circles under her eyes…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe told herself that she had become this way because of Eric. If he died, she could peacefully live the
rest of her life without anyone bothering her…
Thinking of this, Stella’s eyes unexpectedly turned red.
She raised her hand and slapped herself hard, feeling foolish. Why was she feeling upset and why
should she be upset?
He’s dead, so what? Why should she feel upset?!
However, her tears continued to flow uncontrollably.
Eric was the person she had loved with all her might when she was young. She actually shot and killed
him…
Stella slapped herself hard again. She shouldn’t be crying for a
man who had bullied her since pup period and even took away her uterus. He deserved it!
She felt like she was being torn apart internally. After struggling repeatedly in her mind, she turned on
the faucet, desperately splashing water on her face. After splashing herself awake, she grabbed a
tissue and expressionlessly wiped the water off her face.
