Chapter 574
When Love Comes Late
Have you gotten any news about him yet?â she asked, her voice slightly shaking.
âNo.
â A few seconds of silence passed before Fernando spoke up again.
âDonât tell anyone about the accident until itâs confirmed.
His schedule hasnât been made public yet.
â
Stella was in a daze, she couldnât hear anything Fernando was saying anymore.
She pressed her lips tightly together, a wave of depression and sadness hitting her.
They stood in silence until she couldnât hold her tears back anymore.
âHeâll come back.
Heâll be fine.
He has to beâ¦â She forced a smile as she wiped her tear stained cheeks.
Looking at Stella made Fernandoâs heart break even more.
âNothing has been confirmed yet, so please calm down.
Investigations are still going on.
â He held out a few tissues to her.
Stella didnât accept the tissues.
She just stood there staring at nothing.
She tried calling Matthew on her phone again.
âPlease⦠Just answer the phoneâ¦â Stella kept on muttering that repeatedly as she called.
âItâs no use.
His phone has been turned off since this morning.
â
Fernando paused, watching her reaction.
âBut Iâm still in contact with the people over there.
No news yet.
â
The color on Stellaâs face drained completely.
She quietly took a few steps back.

Watching her desperate state was too heartbreaking for Fernando.
He needed to find Matthew as soon as possible.
âIâll keep in touch and inform you if thereâs any news.
â
Stella nodded silently in response.
She walked back to her table quietly.
After calling a few more times, she put her phone aside, leaned back in her chair and shut her eyes.
She took deep breaths to calm herself and picked up her pencil to try to distract herself.
She couldnât draw anything.
Her head was blank.
The only thing filling it was the situation at hand.
One of her colleagues passed by.
âWhy the long face, Stella? You look like one of your family just died,â he joked.
Stella threw the pencil on the table with a lot of force.
âGet out.
