Chapter 575 The Medication Begins to Take Effect

Martha picked up her glass and gently swirled it, raising it to Stefan. "Let's have a toast to celebrate our remarriage," she said.

Stefan's eyes darkened as he nodded and raised his glass to clink with Martha's before downing the drink in one gulp. "You've been through so much these past years," he said. Whether it was when he had misunderstood her in the past or when she had been alone overseas raising their child, Martha had undoubtedly gone through a lot of hardships. And all of that suffering was caused by him.

The guilt in Stefan's eyes was noticed by Martha, who smiled and said, "It wasn't hard at all since you're still here."

After eating some food and drinking enough to feel tipsy, Stefan looked at Martha with complex emotions in his deep gaze before speaking softly, "Do you know how much I was afraid that you would choose to stay in Z Country?"

Martha tightened her grip on her glass but quickly relaxed.

She looked at Stefan with a smile on her face and spoke softly. "You occupied my heart all the time; I just couldn't confess my love back then."

"I know," Stefan replied as he thought about how difficult things must have been for Martha during those times.

But now they were together again, happy as ever.

Suddenly an image flashed into his mind: he forced Martha to donate bone marrow for Hollie back then.

She must have been scared back then.

It was all his fault!

Thinking of this, Stefan felt like his heart was being squeezed tightly by a giant hand.

He said apologetically, "I'm sorry for hurting you in the past."

He continued while feeling pained inside, "If not for me, you wouldn't have faked your death and left C Country, or suffered so much while raising Jimmy alone." Martha was stunned for a moment, and soon put on a considerate smile.

"Those things are all in the past," she said kindly while trying to ease Stefan's pain inside, "Don't bring them up anymore; I don't blame you."

Stefan lowered his gaze, still filled with guilt towards Martha.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable heat rising within him.

He reached up and tugged at his tie, taking deep breaths of fresh air.

Martha saw his behavior and understood that the medicine was starting to take effect.

Tonight, he was hers.

She walked over to Stefan with a fake look of concern on her face and placed her hand gently on his shoulder.

"Stefan, what's wrong? Are you drunk?"

As she spoke, Martha sat down on Stefan's lap and smiled seductively.

Her hand lightly caressed Stefan's cheek before she wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, "Stefan, let's have another baby for Jimmy!"
