Her health seemed to be on a downward spiral lately. In the past, despite being bullied by so many, she seldom fell ill. Now, as her life finally seemed to improve, her health deteriorated day by day. Could it be that she was doomed to a miserable fate? She managed a bitter smile and sincerely thanked Dave, who cautioned her on the other end of the line.
"But from now on, we can't pull off something like this again. We got lucky with Beck letting us off this time, all thanks to Fitch's intervention. Next time, we might not be so fortunate.

Did I exhaust all my efforts just to be a Sanders, merely to survive?" "Stella..." "But now, I'm clear about my purpose. I want those who bulliedto face their karma. Alan has already met his fate, an's next, then Bonnie, and finally, Jason." Dave frowned, knowing that taking on Jason wouldn't be easy. Jason's power far exceeded Alan's.
"Dave, thanks for not rattingout this time. I won't make you go against the Sanders family anymore. Just keep feedinginformation." Dave merely hummed in response and hung up.

Beck was about to ask again when she suddenly lunged at him.
"Beck?" He wanted to push her away but noticing her shaking, he sighed.
"Yeah, had a nightmare?" Stella clung to him tightly, her whole body trembling.
