Chapter 2241

With renewed determination, Stella said firmly, “Get the medicine, please.

”

Seeing Stella’s condition, Doreen feared she might faint if she didn’t comply.

Reluctantly, she fetched the medicine.

Stella, in excruciating pain, took the pills without water, the bitter taste spreading across her tongue.

Yet, the bitterness in her mouth was insignificant compared to the pain in her heart.

After a few minutes of rest, Stella managed to stand, albeit unsteadily.

Doreen, her eyes red from worry, quickly supported her.

“Do you feel any better?”

Stella managed a reassuring smile.

“Don’t worry, I’m fine.

As anticipated, when Stella stepped out of the meeting room, she could faintly hear whispers from the secretarial office.

“Did you see? Mr.

Struggling to walk out of the building, Stella was about to get into the car when her cell phone rang unexpectedly.

Instinctively, she reached for it, but her vision suddenly blurred.

In the next instant, everything went dark, and she lost consciousness.

She had no sense of time passing.

When she slowly opened her eyes, Stella squinted, adjusting to the bright light.

Through her blurred vision, she vaguely made out a familiar figure—a man peeling fruit with his head bowed.

Relishing the serene atmosphere, Stella hesitated to disturb the quiet.

He smiled warmly.

Placing the peeled apple on a plate, he offered gently, “Would you like some?”
