Ch.1427 Chapter 1431 - When Love Comes Late

So, she replied with a smile, âOkay, I know.

Matthew finished bandaging her wound.

He picked her up and carried her upstairs.

âYour hand is injured, and you canât touch water.

Iâll help you take a bath.

âNo need.

â Stellaâs face flushed.

âI can do it myself.

Iâll just call you if I need anything.

Matthew was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.

Stella quickly pushed Matthew with her other hand and reminded him, âYour phone is ringing.

Itâs late, so it must be something urgent.

Put me down and answer it.

My feet are fine.

I can walk to the bathroom.

Matthew had no plan to answer his phone.

However, it kept ringing persistently.

He had no choice but to put Stella down reluctantly.

But he reminded her, âBe careful.

Call me if you need anything.

Stella nodded, turned around, walked to the bathroom, and closed the door.

Matthew took out his phone and checked the callerâs name on the screen.

When he saw it was Fernando, he answered it.

Fernando immediately reported, âMr.

Clark, Iâve questioned those people who made trouble for Stella earlier.

Theyâre clean.

Their story is the same as Haleyâs Matthewâs eyes darkened at once.

âI understand.

He was about to hang up the phone when Fernando added, âBy the way, the locals found Carlâs body on a deserted hill.

Matthew was quite taken aback.

He had been so engrossed in accompanying Stella to Bysea that Carlâs matters were pushed to the back of his mind.

Thus, Carlâs passing caught him off guard.

While lost in thought, he heard the bathroom door open.

Matthew turned to see Stella stepping out of the bathroom.

After exchanging a few words with Fernando, he walked over to Stella.

He took the hairdryer from her and offered, âPlease have a seat.

Iâll do this for you.

Stella accepted his offer since drying her hair single-handedly was a bit of a struggle.

She settled into the chair and peered at Matthew in the mirror, asking, âWho was on the phone just now?â

âIt was Fernando,â Matthew answered briefly.

âThe incident on the cruise ship is settled now.

âWho was responsible? Did you get to the bottom of it?â Stellaâs eyes were filled with curiosity as she gazed at Matthew.

Matthew responded vaguely, âItâs all sorted.

Iâve dealt with the person responsible.

Thereâs no need to worry.

Rather than feeling relieved, Stellaâs concern grew.
