Chapter 7 All of this happened because of Kelsey's lies . If not for her lies , he wouldn't have mistaken her for me , and I wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to leave . " Stephanie's gone . She doesn't want me anymore . Are you happy now ?! " Seeing that things were getting out of hand , Denton and my father quickly stepped in to stop Edwin . Aside from Kelsey's sobbing , the room fell completely silent . All of three men had tears in their eyes . Regret and pain were written all over their faces . No one knew how much time had passed . Eventually , Denton spoke first . His voice was hoarse from crying . " I - is Stephanie okay ? Do her burns still hurt ? " He wanted to text me , but he suddenly realized he didn't even have my number . " Edwin , I slapped Stephanie yesterday . Is her face still swollen ? Did she put ice on it ?" My father broke down again . From the moment he found out the truth until now , just a few hours had passed , but he looked like he'd aged years . He kept seeing that hurt and heartbroken look on my face from the other night . His guilt was eating him alive . " Stephanie's gone . I can't find her . The police said she left the country , but it'll take hours to find out exactly where she went … " Edwin's voice was rough and tired , as if he hadn't slept . " Stephanie … I've done so much to hurt you over the years . I'm so sorry … " My father's cries echoed through the room . Denton silently wiped his tears . Only Kelsey sat with her head down , her expression dark and hateful . She never thought I'd expose her like this . She actually regretted not finishing the job and burning me alive . But it was too late now . The next morning , at the break of dawn , someone from the police department came to tell them I had boarded a research plane to Northendria . That flight was for scientific research only . Regular people couldn't get on . After arriving at the Northendria research center , the team noticed I was pregnant . So they didn't let me work on the main project . I handled data instead and focused on staying healthy until I gave birth .
