Chapter 2022

She believed that something had really happened to Stella.

Lucia closed her eyes heavily and said, “It’s been so many days, but you haven’t told me anything yet.

If I hadn’t asked Lindsay about it today, do you plan to hide everything from me forever?”

Matthew frowned and looked at Lindsay coldly.

When Lindsay felt his cold gaze, she hurriedly explained in a low voice, “I didn’t want to tell Grandma.

But she was going to call Stella, so I had no choice.

”

Lucia looked at Matthew with a darkened expression.

“Don’t blame Lindsay.

It was me who insisted on asking her.

”

Matthew’s expression remained cold.

Lucia continued, “Is there really no news about Stella?”

She was sad and nervous at the same time.

Still, Matthew assured her, “Grandma, believe me.

She is really fine.

In fact, I was with her just now.

She just can’t come here now because she has something to deal with.

Otherwise, she would’ve definitely come here to see you.

”

Lucia’s face was still full of suspicion.

There was even a hint of anger now.

Matthew was afraid she would be too emotional again, so he hurriedly said, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll call her now.

”

Despite his assurances, Lucia was still suspicious.

She feared Matthew would use some tricks to fool her, so she said, “Let me call her using my phone.

”

Then, she took out her phone

and dialed Stella’s number.

The call was quickly answered, and Stella’s voice came from the other end.

“Lucia, how are you?”

Tears immediately welled up in Lucia’s eyes.

“Stella, is that really you?”

“Yes.

It’s me.

” Stella was also relieved to hear Lucia’s voice.

“I just heard from Matthew that you are not feeling well.

How are you now?”

Lucia hurriedly said, “I’m fine.

As long as you are safe, I’m fine.

”

Mixed emotions surged in Stella’s heart.

“I’m sorry for making you worry,” Stella said apologetically, feeling guilty.

“I wanted to go back with Matthew to see you.

But my mother is not so well, so I have to stay with her in the hospital.

I’ll visit you soon.

”

Lucia’s mood immediately lightened up after confirming that Stella was fine.

She said, “It’s alright.

I understand.

As long as you’re okay, I can be rest assured.

Don’t worry about me.

I’m fine.

You can come here whenever you have time.

”

After saying this, she also told Stella to spend more time with Bella.

Then, she hung up with satisfaction.

On the other hand, Lindsay pinched her hand hard when she heard Stella’s voice on the phone.

At first, she was shocked.

But anger soon surged in her heart.
