Chapter 1740
When Love Comes Late
She wished that Stella could divert her focus and refrain from being consumed by the sorrow caused by Matthewâs unconscious state.
Bella inquired, âWhatâs your plan? Do you have a clear direction at this point?â
Stella responded, âI aim to collaborate with you in establishing a clothing brand linked to international labels.
Given your extensive work abroad, your insights into overseas demands are invaluable, and I seek your guidance.
â
Despite the pressure, Stella remained level-headed, and her plans were meticulously organized.
Bella admired Stellaâs resilience.
Upon hearing Stellaâs ideas, Bella smiled warmly and reassured her, âThatâs not an issue.
â
During their conversation, Fernando approached with documents containing market research and preliminary plans he had prepared earlier.
Stella meticulously reviewed the pages and noticed numerous similarities in ideas between herself and Matthew.
This realization boosted her confidence in reclaiming control of the company.
After shutting the file, she gazed at the ward, yearning for Matthewâs speedy recovery.
In the following days, despite her busy work on the brand, Stella continued to attend to Matthewâs needs at the hospital.
Eventually, news arrived that Matthewâs condition was improving.
Matthew was moved from the intensive care unit to a regular hospital room.
After completing all the tests, Cordell seemed visibly relieved as he reviewed the reports.
Addressing Stella, Cordell remarked, âBased on these reports, Matthewâs condition is gradually improving.
Youâve been putting in a lot of effort lately.
â
Tears brimmed in Stellaâs eyes.
Throughout this time, she had been yearning for Matthewâs speedy recovery.
Suppressing her excitement, Stella inquired, âWhen do you think heâll regain consciousness?â
Cordell responded, âItâs uncertain.
He might wake up tonight if conditions are favorable, or it could take longer.
Itâs ultimately up to him.
â
Stella felt disheartened; her excitement dampened abruptly, leaving her feeling unsettled.
Cordell reassured her, âDonât lose hope.
Matthewâs recovery is remarkable given the circumstances.
Be glad heâs out of the critical phase.
Plus, his love for you means he wouldnât want you to wait endlessly.
â
Stella managed a strained smile and replied, âI hope youâre right.
â
Cordell comforted her, âItâs crucial that you look after yourself too.
Imagine how distressed Matthew would be if he woke up and saw you in this state.
â
Stella remained silent, her lips pressed together in contemplation.
After Cordell left, Stella sat by Matthewâs bedside, holding his hand.
She seemed a bit lost and struggled to stay strong despite her exhaustion.
Softly, she expressed, âI miss you deeply.
Everyone is concerned about you.
If you can hear me, please wake up soon.
Many events unfolded while you were asleep.
Benny aimed to seize control of Prosperity Group and halted all your initial projects.
But donât worry.
I wonât allow him to gain control of the group.
â
Gazing into Matthewâs closed eyes with sorrow, Stella found herself pouring out her heart to him.
Meanwhile, Benny received word of Matthewâs improvement and was seething with anger at home.
