Chapter 1883
When Love Comes Late
Even when they were already back in the car, Stella was still very careful not to hit or touch Lindsayâs wound, afraid Lindsay would get hurt again.
Lindsay smiled and said, âStella, donât worry too much about me, okay? Itâs just a small wound.
Iâm fine.
The doctor didnât even suture it.
It will heal in no time.
â
However, Stella still couldnât help feeling guilty.
After all, Lindsay was hurt because of her.
âIâm sorry.
Itâs all my fault.
I should have been the one who got injured.
â
Every time she thought of that scene, she felt regretful.
After her bag was snatched from her, she shouldnât have rushed up rashly.
She and Lindsay were both women.
How could they be a match for a male robber?
âStella, donât blame yourself.
Iâm really fine.
Donât worry about such a trifle.
For me, thereâs nothing wrong with it.
But your behavior now makes me feel at a loss,â Lindsay said thoughtfully.
Stella looked at Lindsay.
Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.
But in the end, she could only apologize.
Lindsay said comfortingly, âDidnât you say we are family? So, in such a situation, I couldnât just watch you get hurt.
I know you will also do the same to me.
â
Stella pursed her lips.
âStill, thank you very much.
But from now on, you have to put your safety first, okay?â
Lindsay nodded.
âDonât worry.
Iâm no longer a child.
I can take care of myself.
â
Stella sighed softly and said, âThe security measures in your neighborhood are not sufficient, so you should stay in Prosper Bay during this time.
After you recover, we will help you find a new place.
â
âI donât think thatâs a good idea,â Lindsay said hesitantly.
âIt will be too much trouble for you
and Matthew.
â
However, Stella insisted.
âYour safety is the most important, so donât resist anymore.
Itâs settled.
â
Lindsay had no choice but to agree.
âOkay, Iâll follow your arrangements.
I know you only care for me.
â
When Stella and Lindsay arrived in Prosper Bay, Matthew also just got home.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lindsayâs eyes.
âMatthew, why are you back at this time?â
Matthew approached them and noticed the wound on Lindsayâs arm.
He asked concernedly, âHow is it? Is it serious?â
âIâm fine,â Lindsay replied casually.
She still said the same thing.
âItâs just a minor injury.
It will heal in a few days.
You guys donât take it too seriously.
Iâm so embarrassed.
â
Matthew nodded and walked to Stellaâs side.
After confirming she was fine, he added, âIâve sent someone to check the surveillance footage of that neighborhood.
It wonât be long before we find the robber.
Heâll be punished.
â
Lindsay hurriedly shook her head.
âNo, itâs not necessary.
â
Matthew and Stella looked at Lindsay with puzzled expressions.
Lindsay held out her injured arm and hurriedly explained, âMy injury isnât serious, and Stellaâs fine, too.
That person mustâve been really desperate to rob us in the street in broad daylight.
