Chapter 245 Feeling So Wronged?
Stella's eyes instantly turned red.
She bit her lip and looked at Helen and Daniel with a face full of grievance. "I could come by myself, but you insisted on coming along. Now Jasper has misunderstood me."
She sniffed, bit her lip, and stuffed the thermos container into Jasper's hands. "I specially made this soup for Adeline. Since you think my parents and I have ulterior motives for being here, then we'll leave now!"
After saying that, Stella turned around to leave.
Jasper frowned slightly.
At the moment Stella turned around, he grabbed her hand.
Jasper looked into her eyes affectionately. "If you really just wanted to visit Adeline, how can you leave so easily?"
Jasper continued, "If I misunderstood you, I apologize."
Leaning against the hospital bed, Adeline listened to Jasper's deep and gentle voice, and her heart grew cold.
In all the years she had known Jasper, Adeline had ever heard such a gentle voice from him.
Clearly, Jasper had also misunderstood Adeline this morning. Even after she fainted and was hospitalized, he Jasper admitted his mistake.
But now, with just one sentence from Stella, he could gently apologize.
He could apologize to Molly and Stella.
But he would never apologize to Adeline Collins or Adeline Wilson.
"Then I'll reluctantly forgive you!" Hearing Jasper's apology, Stella smiled brightly, took Jasper's arm, and the two of them entered the ward together.
Helen and Daniel exchanged glances and followed them in.
Walking to Adeline's side, Stella opened the thermos container. "Adeline, try the soup I made for you!"
Adeline frowned, just about to refuse, but Stella had already brought the bowl of soup to her hand.
Adeline hesitated for a moment and finally took it.
Stella wouldn't poison her at a time like this.
Besides, she had only had a bowl of soup earlier, which was indeed a bit bland.
Seeing her take the bowl, Stella urged, "Adeline, drink it while it's hot. I worked hard to make it for you."
"Thank you." Adeline picked up the spoon and took a small sip.
The familiar taste hit her taste buds, and her mind seemed to explode.
This was Helen's cooking!
From childhood to adulthood, whenever she was sick, Helen would personally make soup for her.
This was the taste!
During those difficult days abroad, she had always longed for this taste.
Now that she finally tasted it, Adeline had an inexplicable urge to cry.
But she couldn't cry.
Adeline sniffed and forced back her tears, lifting her head.
As soon as she looked up, she saw Stella who looked exactly like herself once did.
At this moment, Stella was smiling at her. "How is it? Tasty, right?"
Stella's eyes carried more pride than contempt. "I made it myself."
Adeline bit her lip.
This soup was definitely not made by Stella.
Instinctively, she glanced at Helen.
Coincidentally, Helen was also looking at her.
Their eyes met.
Finally, Helen snorted coldly and turned her head, her eyes full of disgust. "Giving this soup to her is a waste!"
Stella sighed and held Helen's hand. "Mom, don't say that. Adeline ended up in the hospital because she was working for Jasper's company. It's only right for me to make soup and take care of her."
After saying that, she looked at Adeline with mocking eyes. "Isn't that right?"
Adeline bit her lip and said nothing.
Her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
She was drinking the soup her mother had made, but she couldn't show her excitement.
Her biological mother was right in front of her, but Helen was mocking her and being affectionate with another woman.
Stella saw all the pain in Adeline's eyes.
The pride in Stella's eyes grew deeper.
Stella did it on purpose.
In the morning, when she went to see Helen, she specifically probed and found out that Adeline loved to drink Helen's homemade soup when she was sick.
So she had Helen make the soup and brought Helen and Daniel to visit Adeline.
She wanted to see Adeline in pain and helpless, unable to express her feelings.
Since Adeline had forced her out of her home and made her father suffer in prison, she wanted Adeline to experience the pain of having family right by her side but being unable to recognize them!
No, Stella not only wanted Adeline to be unable to recognize her family but also wanted Adeline's parents to see her as an enemy!
The most painful thing in the world was for the parents you love deeply to see you as an enemy.
She would make Adeline taste this bone-chilling pain!
Stella wanted Adeline to know that since Adeline had given up her identity and appearance, she shouldn't have come back!
Thinking of this, Stella couldn't help but smile again. "Adeline, is there anything else you want to eat? I can make it, although I'm not a great cook."
Saying this, she gently held Helen's hand. "My mom can help. Right, Mom?"
Helen smiled kindly at Stella, then looked coldly at Adeline. "I'm indeed willing to teach you to cook, but for someone like Adeline, she doesn't deserve it!"
Daniel, standing nearby, quickly nodded. "Exactly."
"Stella, you're too kind. Everyone knows what Adeline is after, starting as staff at Blue Bay and then moving to the Foster Group. Only a kind-hearted child like you would still treat her as a friend."
The way the family acted in unison made Jasper frown deeply.
Jasper glanced at the soup in Adeline's hand that she hadn't finished. "Hurry up and drink."
Adeline sniffed, lowered her head, and began to drink the soup quickly.
Tears fell into the bowl, the salty taste filling her mouth.
But fortunately, besides Jasper, no one in the room cared about how she drank the soup or noticed her tears.
When she finished the soup, Adeline grabbed a tissue and pretended to wipe sweat, wiping away all her tears.
Jasper gracefully put the bowl back into the thermos container and handed it to Stella. "Adeline appreciates your concern. And she finished the soup. You should go now. She needs to rest."
Stella looked up at him. "Jasper, aren't you leaving? It's lunchtime. How about we take Mom and Dad out for a nice meal?"
Jasper glanced at Adeline, who was still pretending to wipe sweat with the tissue, and then smiled. "Maybe another day. Aren't your parents staying in Denver recently? There will be other chances. I have some work to discuss with Adeline. You guys go ahead."
Stella pouted in dissatisfaction and acted coquettishly with Jasper for a while before finally leaving.
After the family of three left, Jasper closed the door, walked over to Adeline, and handed her the tissue box from the table. " Just a few words from two clueless old people make you feel so wronged?"
