Chapter 1746

The metallic tang of blood in the air sent a fresh wave of nausea washing over her.

Fighting dizziness, she turned to leave, only to be engulfed by darkness as consciousness slipped away.

When Stella opened her eyes, she saw a vast expanse of white.

She remembered what had happened before she fainted, and she immediately sat up from the bed.

Cordell, standing by her bedside, noticed that she was awake.

He asked concernedly, “Do you feel uncomfortable somewhere?”

Suddenly, Stella remembered Fernando.

A sense of anxiety surged in her heart.

“Where is Fernando? How is he?”

“Don’t worry about him.

The operation was very successful, and no vital parts were injured,” Cordell replied in a low voice.

Stella breathed a sigh of relief.

She murmured, “That’s good…”

At this moment, Neville and Miley arrived.

As soon as they received the news about the intruder, they rushed to the hospital.

Miley sat beside Stella and said worriedly, “Are you feeling better? Why did this happen so suddenly? If I had known, I would have stayed with you in the hospital tonight.

”

“I’m fine.

Don’t worry about me,” Stella said, but her voice sounded so weak.

Miley’s face darkened.

“Was it Benny?”

Stella didn’t say anything, but she was sure that it was Benny who did it.

No one else was so eager to see Matthew dead except him.

“That son of a bitch! What did Matthew do to him? Why is he so eager to kill Matthew? Besides, Matthew is his half-brother.

How can he be so ruthless to Matthew?”

Miley was so angry that she kept cursing Benny.

Then, she turned to Stella and said, “It has been many days.

Haven’t you gotten in touch with Flossie yet?”

Stella shook her head.

Miley became even angrier.

She sneered, “I thought Flossie was a good friend.

It turned out I was wrong.

She betrayed us.

We treated her as our close friend, but she chose to side with Benny.

Such an ungrateful person! Has she forgotten who helped her regain her popularity? How could she betray her friends for a man and watch him harm her friends? From now on, let’s forget about her.

She is no longer our friend.

”

When Neville saw Miley so angry, he put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her, “Hey, don’t get so mad, okay? It’s not worth it at all.

If you can’t forgive her, I will catch her and let you scold her face to face to vent your anger.

”

Miley gritted her teeth to calm herself down.

But she was still angry.

Neville turned to Stella and said, “Stella, I’m glad you’re okay.

I’ve already sent someone to look for the attacker.

Matthew hasn’t woken up yet.

If you need help, don’t hesitate to call me.

Cordell and I will do our best to help you.

”

“Thank you, Neville.

I really appreciate it,” Stella said gratefully from the bottom of her heart.

“Thank you for taking care of us these days.

”

“Don’t mention it.

Matthew is our friend.

We are only doing what friends should do.

And you, you should take good care of yourself.

Don’t worry too much, and don’t be sad,” Neville said concernedly.

Stella forced a smile and nodded.

“It’s getting late.

You should go back and rest.

I’ll go see Matthew.

”

Miley wanted to stop Stella.

But when she thought of what had just happened, she knew Stella wouldn’t be able to sleep unless she personally saw Matthew safe.

So, she just said a few words to Stella and went out with Neville.

After everyone left the ward, Stella stood up and went to Matthew’s ward.

She held Matthew’s hand and closed her eyes, feeling heavy in her heart.

But she tried to talk to him in a relaxed tone.

“Fernando is injured.

I don’t know what will happen next time.

When will you wake up?”
