Chapter 1141

Fernando grasped the significance of why Matthew held this marriage in such high regard.

Matthew had confided in Fernando about his father’s dismissive stance on relationships, leading him to vow never to emulate that attitude.

Instead, he aspired to be a man who approached love and marriage with earnestness.

But Fernando glanced in the rearview mirror, noting that Matthew’s once pristine white shirt was soaked in blood.

A furrow creased his brow as he pondered whether assuming responsibility for love and marriage was worth jeopardizing one’s life.

It was a question Fernando couldn’t readily answer.

His own romantic history comprised only a fleeting affair that left no enduring impact after its conclusion.

Thus, he grappled with perplexity and unease concerning Matthew’s recent gestures towards Stella, his disquiet fueled by a lack of confidence in her intentions.

If Stella genuinely committed herself to Matthew, all would be well.

But what if her interest lay in Matthew’s status or was merely a response to his altruistic actions?

Lost in contemplation, Fernando once again cast a glance at Stella through the rearview mirror.

Stella’s worry and sorrow, at least at that moment, appeared genuine.

Fernando sought solace, hoping that Stella would consistently stand by Matthew’s side, offering warmth and solace.

Fernando had already called the hospital while on the road, making sure the doctors and nurses were ready at the hospital entrance.

Once the car pulled up to the hospital, they wasted no time getting Matthew into the operating room.

Fernando filled the doctor in on Matthew’s condition, leaving out no details.

He stressed the urgent need for gastric lavage due to the hefty amounts of alcohol and ether Matthew had taken in.

Stella paced nervously outside the operating room.

She knew Matthew was in bad shape, but she didn’t expect it to be this serious.

When Fernando noticed the scars on Stella’s body, he suggested, “Mrs.

Clark, you’re hurt too.

Let the doctor take care of your wounds while I stick around for Mr.

Clark.

”

“No.

” Stella looked at Fernando, tears in her eyes, shaking her head.

“I need to wait here until Matthew comes out okay.

Only when I see it with my own eyes can I relax.

”

Fernando wanted to convince her otherwise, but he realized he couldn’t change her mind.

He nodded.

“I’ll be waiting outside the hospital.

Let me know if Mr.

Clark wakes up.

”

Stella stared at the operating room and gave a silent nod in response.

Time seemed to drag on as the light inside the operating room stayed on.

Suddenly, a woman’s voice broke the silence from behind Stella.

“Stella, you’re not good enough for Matthew!”
