Chapter 2045
When Love Comes Late
She hoped to trigger some memories through these photos, but her past remained elusive.
It was clear that relying solely on the photos wasnât enough.
She knew she needed to pursue treatment to try to regain her memory.
Clintâs visit was brief.
After a short conversation, he began to show signs of fatigue since he had traveled a long way here.
Stella encouraged him to get some rest.
The following day, Bella was officially discharged from the hospital.

Matthew and Stella came to collect her.
Stella presented her with a bouquet and said, âCongratulations, Mom.
â
Bella accepted the flowers, smiling.
âThank you.
â
Matthew, ever thoughtful, opened the car door for them and informed Bella, âMy grandparents have set up a family meal and invited you to join us at the family home.
â
Back at the Clark family house, Waldo, Lucia, and Clint waited eagerly.
When Lucia first glimpsed Bella, her face brightened like a sunrise.
âWe always rave about Stellaâs beauty, but it turns out sheâs inherited her motherâs looks.
â
Bellaâs cheeks reddened slightly, showing a touch of shyness.
Lucia, with a welcoming smile
, guided Bella to the couch.
âStella told us about your accident, dear.
How are you feeling now? I hope youâre starting to feel better.
â
Bellaâs heart swelled with gratitude at the warm reception.
Meeting Luciaâs gaze, she answered sincerely, âIâm almost back to my old self.
Thanks to Matthew, who handled everything while I was in the hospital.
â
Lucia dismissed it with a smile.
âThatâs what he should do as your son-in-law.
Otherwise, how could you trust him with Stella?â
Bella gave Stella a warm smile before looking back at Lucia.
âMatthewâs a true gem.
Iâm not worried about him at all.
Itâs wonderful to see them so in love.
â
Luciaâs smile grew wider.
âYes, and it would be even more amazing with a Little one running around in a few years.
â
Stellaâs cheeks turned bright red at the teasing.
At that moment, Lindsay stepped out of the kitchen, beaming with joy.
âBella, Stella, welcome back! I heard Bella was discharged today, so I baked a cake to celebrate.
â
Her smile was radiant, almost blinding.
For a fleeting moment, Stella wondered if their earlier argument had been nothing more than a figment of her imagination.
Yet Stella had no intention of playing games with her, so she chose silence, letting the quiet stretch between them.
Bella immediately sensed Stellaâs coldness toward Lindsay.
Whatever the reason, Bella had no desire to feign warmth that wasnât genuinely felt.
âThanks, you are so kind,â Bella said, her tone civil but marked with an unmistakable distance.
