When Love Comes Late
âPlease sign here.
Iâll instruct the nursing staff to prepare for the operation.

A pen in hand, Stella hesitated only briefly before signing her name with resolute strokes.
As she passed the signed agreement and pen back to Farris, her vision blurred, and she collapsed.
Stella slumped forward, leaning toward Farrisâ direction.
âStellaâ¦â Miley started to reach out, but Farris was quicker, steadying Stella before she hit the floor.
Upon waking, Stella was greeted by Mileyâs look of concern.
âWhat happened to me?â she asked.
Attempting to sit up, Stella was quickly steadied by Miley, who said, âYou fainted earlier.
You gave me quite a scare.
â
Miley slid a pillow behind Stellaâs back and pressed the call button, adding, âThankfully, Dr.
Barnes caught you just in time.
â
Stella furrowed her brows, unable to recall the incident.
Shortly after, Farris entered the room accompanied by a nurse.
âIs Stella alright?â Miley inquired anxiously.
âWhy did she faint all of a sudden?â
Stella also cast her eyes to Farris.
Meeting Stellaâs gaze, Farris felt an inexplicable emotion.
He adjusted his glasses, looked away, and stated calmly, âShe is experiencing hypoglycemia.
Ensure she eats regularly and doesnât overexert herself.
â
Miley exhaled in relief.

However, Stella wasnât concerned about herself.
Her thoughts were with her grandfather.
âDoctor, what about my grandfather?â
Farris, discerning her questionâs intent, reassured her, âRest easy.
A nurse is monitoring him.
â
âThank you,â Stella acknowledged.
âYouâre welcome.
â Farris smiled, then quickly regained his composure.
âDo you have other family in Seamarsh? You need to focus on your own recovery.
â
âI have no family here,â Stella blurted out, raising her voice defensively.
