Chapter 1718
When Love Comes Late
After seeing the news online, Amara rushed over.
She had previously been in a damaging relationship that nearly brought trouble to Prosperity Group and Matthew.
To keep the media away and not disrupt Stella and Matthewâs wedding, she stayed away.
But she hadnât anticipated such an incident at the wedding.
âWhere is Matthew?â Amara stumbled in, nearly fainting at the sight of blood on Stella.
She clutched Stellaâs hands, her lips quivering as she asked, âWhere is Matthew?â
Stella looked at her, wanting to speak, but no words came out.
Her eyes red, she simply shook her head.
Amara faltered, her steps unsteady.
Miley quickly grabbed her, comforting, âThey just took Matthew to the emergency room.
We donât know anything yet, not until the doctor updates us.
Try not to worry.
Why donât you sit down and rest?â
Overwhelmed by guilt and confusion, Amara barely heard her, allowing Miley to guide her to a seat.
Tears filled her eyes as she gazed at the people outside the emergency room, covering her face.
She
doubted her decision to have Matthew return to the Clark family, whether it was right or wrong.

Had he not returned, none of this would have occurred.
He was her son, the child she had brought into this world.
She had never wished for him to be rich or powerful, only safe.
How had everything gone so wrong?
Regret and remorse overwhelmed her, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Miley, moved by her sadness, teared up again and gently patted Amara on the shoulder, trying to offer some solace.
The air in the hallway felt heavy and oppressive.
Suddenly, the door to the emergency room swung open, drawing everyoneâs attention.
A nurse rushed out.
Stella wanted to inquire about Matthewâs condition, but she stumbled and fell as she moved forward.
Luckily, Miley caught her just in time.
Waldo, leaning on his cane, shakily stood up.
âHowâs my grandson?â
âWeâre not sure yet.
Heâs lost a lot of blood, and we urgently need more,â the nurse explained briskly before quickly departing.
Stellaâs complexion drained at the news.
Miley gripped her hand.
âDonât worry, everythingâs going to be okay.
Mr.
Clark is tough; heâll pull through.
â
Stella remained quiet, a storm of suffocation and fear brewing within her.
Images of Matthewâs face haunted her.
First it was the bloodied face from her nightmare, and then it was his unnaturally pale face at their weddingâ¦
She forced herself not to think any further.
