Chapter 693
When Love Comes Late
Catching Stellaâs surprised gaze, Flossie offered a warm smile.
âStella, youâre back.
â
Stella nodded, instantly understanding that it was Flossie who had arranged for Clintâs transfer to the upscale ward.
She set down the breakfast bag and said gratefully, âThank you for arranging this.
Iâll reimburse you for the cost later.
â
âNo need for that,â Flossie responded, averting her eyes with a hint of guilt.
But Stella didnât notice her unnatural expression at all.
Unaware of Flossieâs discomfort, Stella surveyed the room and was relieved to find it far more private than the regular ward.
This change eased her worries about a surprise encounter with Aziel, like the one the previous night, and ensured that Clint could recover peacefully.
Noticing Stellaâs lack of further questions, Flossie exhaled a subtle sigh of relief.
She handed the peeled apple to Clint, inquiring, âWhen is your operation scheduled?â
âTomorrow morning,â Clint replied candidly.
Flossie offered comforting words.
âDonât be anxious.
Dr.
Barnes is an expert in this field.
Youâre in capable hands, and youâll be able to return to Bysea before you know it.
â
Setting aside the apple, Clint sighed.
He shot a meaningful glance at Stella, who was busy organizing some luggage.
âMy biggest concern isnât when I can go home.
Itâs when my granddaughter and her husband will reconcile.
â
Picking up on the subtext of Clintâs words, Stella hesitated but remained silent.
Flossie noticed Stellaâs strained expression and reassured Clint.

âTheyâll make amends by the time youâre discharged.
Donât worry.
â She smiled.
His eyes still trained on Stellaâs back, Clint expressed his hopes.
âIâd like to believe that.
â
Flossie didnât linger for too long.
With her rising fame came a surge of responsibilities.
Her primary reason for coming to the hospital was at Matthewâs behest.
As Stella and Flossie exited the room, Stella seized the opportunity to ask, âHow did you manage to upgrade my grandfatherâs ward to a VIP room?â
