Chapter 1145
When Love Comes Late
He still tried to be intimate with his wife while he was hospitalized.
Matthewâs face remained blank.
Stella straightened out her clothes and went to collect the things Lucia was holding.
âGrandma, howâd you know we were here?â
âThe both of you werenât answering my calls.
I pressured Fernando to tell me what was going on and then came over.
â
âIâm okay, Grandma.
The doctor said Iâd be allowed to leave soon,â Matthew said calmly.
âIf you were okay, why would you even be here?â Lucia gave him a dirty look.
âAnyway, who was behind it? The same person again?â
âItâs not important Grandma, everythingâs been settled.
â
Stella didnât want to worry Matthewâs grandparents any further.
Besides, Benny was already dead, so the past wasnât important.
âDonât cover for Matthew, Stella.
He should speak for himself.
â
Matthew let out a small sigh.
âIt was my fault, Grandma.
I overdrank during an event and it led to a gastric flare-up.
Which explains why Iâm here.
Stella and I didnât want you to worry.
â
âReally?â Lucia was still suspicious.
âAsk the doctor if you must be certain.
He has no reason to lie to you,â
Matthew added.

Lucia began to doubt him less.
âThis is why you should always listen.
Iâve told you countless times to drink less.
Land in the hospital again and Iâll make sure Stella doesnât take care of you.
Youâll be all alone in the hospital.
â
Matthew agreed to everything Lucia said and acted all remorseful, so she didnât have the heart to blame him anymore.
Stella also tried to coax Lucia.
The old woman finally smiled.
Stella pressed the bell to call the doctor.
The doctor walked in and conducted an examination.
Once he was done, he stated, âHeâs perfectly fine now.
We can proceed with the discharge process.
â
ALL of Luciaâs tension eased up.
She turned to the both of them once the doctor left.
âMy driver is waiting outside.
Come back with me for supper tonight.

Pinster Hospital was a private clinic.
Flossie knew all about Bennyâs circumstances.
So she knew that taking him to a regular hospital was probably a bad idea, considering heâd been shot and she didnât know why.
With her connections, she was able to get him admitted.
