Chapter 1019Chapter 1019
Stella got to the room with a mind full of messy thoughts.
Ben stood guard at the door.
Since it was a private hospital, everything was on the ready to cater to their wealthier clients. In fact,
their private wards were no less luxurious than a five-star hotel suite.
Stella turned to Ben, and out of nowhere, asked, “Would you rather find out the truth or be blissfully
ignorant for the rest of your life?”
Ben stared blankly into the air, somewhat bewildered by her question that had come out of the left field.
It took him a while to figure out that she was asking about what happened just now.
“You’re probably asking the wrong person , Mrs. Ford.”
Ben rubbed his nose abashedly and admitted, “I don’t have much experience in love and romance.”
Besides, he did not even have an inkling about what they were all talking about just now. It was, after
all, none of his business. All he had to do was focus on the tasks Weston Ford had assigned to him
and not waste time sticking his nose into the affairs of others.

Stella had known him for quite some time by then, so she was fully aware of what he was really like.
She sighed heavily and asked again, “Imagine you had a girlfriend, and she cheated on you. But she
treats you very well, and you’ve always believed that she loves you very much. Even though she
betrayed you in the past, she is now truly repentant and has really changed. She even cuts all contactwith her lovers. In that case, would you rather know the truth, or would you rather stay ignorant by
believing that illusion that makes you happy?”
Ben fell silent for a long time, pondering Stella’s questions.
“What a conundrum…” he stated.
“Well, I think I’d prefer to know the truth, but then again, it would be heartbreaking…”
As he considered his options, he suddenly gasped. His expression changed abruptly as he cautiously
asked,” Mrs. Ford… You didn’t have an affair yourself, did you?”
His shock was written all over his face.
This rendered Stella utterly speechless.
“Forget it,” she finally relented.
“Just pretend I never asked you anything.”
She turned around and walked into the bedroom, and sat down on the bed.
Her encounter with Michael and Diana had distracted her for a while. But now that she was alone with
time on her hands again, her mind wandered back to Zachary Ford.
She had not heard anything from Weston for a while now, and she wondered what was going on over
there. Stella was sure that she had never felt anything for Zachary, but still…
She sighed, feeling inexplicably agitated. She simply couldn’t shake the feeling that something bad was
about to happen.
Meanwhile, downstairs, Warren Ford’s man had returned and was whispering something into his ear.novelbinWarren raised his head and looked at Weston, who was right in front of him.
“How do you feel,” he asked, “now that your son is dead?”
Weston was too calm, so calm that everyone in the room could sense that something was awry.
“How do I feel?” Weston frowned. “Does that matter?”
Warren suddenly lifted his hand and violently swept the medical instrument and medicine bottles off the
table.
Crash!
Everything fell to the floor and shattered.
“I must get to the bottom of this!” he shouted, his eyes locked on Weston.
Weston slowly clenched his fists and said, “Are you implying someone was behind this?”
“There’s no doubt about it!” Warren sprang up to his feet.
“Someone poisoned Zack’s food!”
His cane clicked as it hit the floor, mirroring the rage that surged in its owner’s heart.
“All the food in the Ford family has always been carefully prepared,” he stated.
“How else was it possible that such a tragic mistake could ever happen?! The only logical explanation
is that someone must’ve intentionally poisoned Zack!”
He closed his eyes and remembered Zack’s tiny purple face that resulted from the poisoning. He found
it difficult to breathe.“I want you to investigate this right now!” he ordered.
