Chapter 145

Also, it wasn’t in his place to turn Matthew back.

There was no harm in allowing him in, right?

Thinking of this, Perry led Matthew to Stella’s room and walked in.

The first thing Matthew saw when he got into the room was Stella lying in the bed.

He felt his heart ache for a split second.

Worry almost pushed him forward.

But on second thought, he stood rooted to the spot with his hands clenched.

A dazed voice came.

“Hey, man! What’s up?”

“Come down to Area D of Prosper Bay right away,” Matthew ordered coldly.

“Enough with the silly questions! Stella is sick.

Come here right now!”

Matthew snarled.

Without giving Cordell the chance to speak again, he hung up the phone.

He stood watching Stella for a long time before he pulled a chair closer to the bedside.

His body was stiff as he continued staring.
