Matthew's response was cool and dispassionate.
“Your acknowledgment doesn’t alter the facts.
We will involve the police and they will determine whether your actions were accidental or intentional.
The police? The prospect of police involvement visibly shook Lindsay.
She couldn’t fathom Matthew taking such severe measures.
“I didn’t intend any harm.
What must | do to convince you? If | jumped from this window, would you believe my sincerity?”
Overwhelmed, she made a move toward the window, her behavior escalating into near hysteria.
Fernando was quick to react, stepping in to block her path.
Lindsay’s voice trembled with urgency as she struggled against Fernando's hold, pleading, “Letgo.

If you all believe I'm capable of such harm, what purpose does my Life serve here?”
Lucia, always seeking harmony, stepped in gently, saying, “Please, everyone, let's discuss this calmly.
She turned to address the gathered family with concern in her eyes.
“We should let this misunderstanding pass.
Lindsay has been part of our family her whole life; she’s not a malicious person.
Surely, we don’t need to escalate this to the authorities, right?”
She then looked firmly at Lindsay, advising, “Lindsay, keep your distance from Stella, please.
Stella had long known about Lucia’s compassionate nature, and Lucia’s advice was exactly what she wanted to

Now that she had achieved her goal, she didn’t want to escalate things further and put the elders in a tight spot.

In the quiet of the car, Stella’s sadness was palpable.
She hesitated as she almost reached toward her abdomen, and then sighed, “Everyone was so excited... Mom

Matthew clasped her hand, offering comfort.
“Don’t blyourself.

We'll be parents when the tis right.
None of the preparation will go to waste,” he assured her with a warm smile.
“This just gives us more tto be ready for the future.
Though he tried to lighten her mood, Stella remained subdued.
Observing her continued somberness, Matthew turned to Fernando and said decisively, “Please take us to
Prosper Bay.
Surprised, Stella glanced at Matthew, her curiosity piqued.
“Aren’t you supposed to be going back to the company?”
She knew he had left work abruptly upon hearing of her accident.
Leaning closer, Matthew whispered teasingly in her ear, “Since we're talking about having a baby, maybe we
should start working on it sooner rather than later.
” His suggestion was both playful and suggestive.
