The penthouse was quiet again. Stella walked over to Channing. Looking at his hands with blood dripping, she gently held his arm, âLetâs go back.â
After a while, Channing said, âArenât you going to ask me anything?â
âIf you want to tell me, you would have said it long ago, but if youâre not willing to tell me, itâs pointless for me to ask.â
At this time, footsteps sound came from the hallway.
It was Vincent.
After he stopped, he took a few breaths, âNo, what do you young people think nowadays, canât you choose to fight on the ground floor, why does it have to be so high?â
Channing pursed his lips tightly and did not say anything.
Stella looked at Vincent, âItâs alright, letâs go.â
Vincent looked at Channing and then back at her. He lifted his eyebrows for a moment, as if he wanted to ask something, but in the end, he swallowed it back.
When they arrived downstairs, there was no sign of Jeffrey and Adolph around, not even the sound of a fight could be heard.
One of his men walked up to Vincent and whispered. The latterâs face changed slightly, but he just raised his hand, âKeep finding.â
âYes.â
Vincent said to Stella, âIâll give you a lift?â
Stella nodded, then remembered something, âMy car is still parked over there ...â
âThe key.â
Stella handed over the car key. Vincent took it and then threw it to the men behind him. He asked Stella for a detailed address.
Sitting in the car, Vincent looked through the rear-view mirror and asked, âWhere do you want to go?â
Stella said, âThe hospital.â
At this moment, Channing, who had been kept quiet for long, said, âJust simply find a place and drop me there.â
Stella ignored him and simply said, âFind the nearest hospital.â
âOkay.â
Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of a private hospital.
Channing frowned and when he was just about to refuse, Stella said, âI donât want to talk to you anymore, go see the doctor first and get your wound treated, or else Iâll beat you.â
In the end, Channing entered the hospital in silence.
Stella followed him. After two steps of walking, she said to Vincent again, âThank you for sending us here, I will settle the rest of the things on my own.â
âIâll go first then?â
âAlright, goodbye.â
Vincent lifted his hand towards her, turned around and left.
Stella helped Channing to register. After he went to the consultation room of the hospital, she sat on the chair outside, pinched her brow and let out a breath.
After sitting for a while, she took out her mobile phone and dialled Adolphâs number.
However, it showed up as unreachable.
To avoid being traced, Adolph would often change his phone number. Most of the time, it was always him who contacted her.
Judging at the situation, she could only wait.
Stella felt a little bit tired. She leaned back in the chair behind her. When she was about to rest, there was steady footsteps sound coming from the corridor.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw the wretched manâs cold features.
Stella was stunned for a moment, âArenât you in a meeting, why are you here?â
Clarence sat next to her, âThe meeting is over.â
He looked at Stellaâs blood-stained cuffs and frowned.
Seeing this, Stella hurriedly said, âItâs not mine, itâs Chanâs.â
Clarence pursed his thin lips for a moment, holding her cold hand, âWhat does he mad at again?â
âCharles seems to have met with him. I donât know what he had said, just ...â
âItâs obvious that he had said something bad.â
Stella drooped her head, âActually, Iâm the one who shall be blamed for this matter. If I had given Chan a clear explanation earlier, the incident would not have happened today.â
Clarence said indifferently, âYou always like to take the blame on yourself, there are so many people in this world, you canât take care of every single one.â
Stella could not help but frowned, âI donât care about other people in this world, but he is my brother, so I have to care about him.â
âIf you have the spare time to care about your brother, why donât you have the spare time to care about your husband?â
Stella was speechless.
The bastard started talking nonsense after saying two decent sentences.
She pulled her hand out, âI donât have a husband, who do I need to care about?â
âIf you want to have one, go get a marriage license tomorrow and youâll have the perfect husband.â
âThanks, I donât want to.â
Stella felt that the breath that had been lingering in her chest and blocking her chest had instantly subsided after talking two or three sentences with the wretched man.
Just then, the door of the consultation room was opened and Channing came out from inside.
His wounds had already been bandaged, but he still looked helter-skelter.
Stella and Clarence got up one after the other. She said, âWhat did the doctor say?â
âIâm fine.â
âThen ...â
Clarenceâs faint voice came, âIf he hurts badly, heâll lie down long ago. How can he still be able to walk?â
Stella swallowed the words that came to her mouth as that was true.
After they came out of the hospital, Channing said, âI have to go.â
âWait.â Stella called out to him, âWhere are you planning to go?â
âBack to school.â
Stella said, âYou can go back after youâve recovered, it has no difference on whether you go back today or tomorrow. If you go back like this, how are you going to explain to your classmates and teachers?â
Channing knew that she still worried about him and was afraid that he would go back to find Jeffrey.
After a while, he said, âI can go and stay in a hotel.â
âCannot.â
However, Stella could not think of where to let him stay for a moment, she was now staying with the Steward family so she did not know how to place him.
Clarence pulled open the car door and spoke indifferently, âStay at my place.â
Stella was surprised, âStay at your place?â
Clarence reached out his hand and flicked her forehead, âWhy, I donât have a house for him to stay?â
âNo, I ...â
âDonât worry, there are no restrictions on staying at my place except one rule, that is, if he runs around, Iâll break his legs.â
Stella suddenly felt that what he said made sense.
She immediately nodded, and then said to Channing, âYou stay at his place then. When Iâm not around, you have to listen to him.â

Clarence tapped his long fingers on the car window, âBecause Iâm your brother-in-law. Get in.â
Seeing that Channing was not moving, he added, âIf you want to walk, you can do so. I will send someone to follow you and show you the way.â
As soon as Clarenceâs words left his mouth, Nathan, who was waiting beside him, took a slight step forward and revealed an awkward but polite smile, as if to say that he was the passionate chaperone who would accompany him to walk.
Channing pursed his lips, took a breath, and finally compromised. He pulled open the car door and bent his body to get into the car.
Clarence looked at Stella, raised his eyebrows and inclined his head, âYou can get in too.â
Stella pursed her lips and smiled as she passed by him.
Nathan also got back to the seat where he belonged and let out a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that he did not have to accompany him to walk.
Along the way, Nathan asked, âMr. Conrad, where are we going now?â
Clarence looked at Stella, seemingly seeking her opinion. Stella said, âMy car is with Vincent, just drop me off there.â
Clarence said indifferently, âAsk Vincent where is he now.â
