Chapter 812
When Love Comes Late
might signify something positive.
Halfway through the waiting, Flossie had to exit to attend a work call.
Miley also left, ostensibly to purchase daily essentials for Stella, saying she would need them upon awakening.
Alone in the corridor, Matthew sat on a bench, his eyes unflinchingly fixed on the sealed operating room door.
Time crawled by, each minute elongating into an unbearable eternity.
Finally, the operating room doors swung open.
Farris appeared, visibly drained.
âThe surgery was a success.
â
A tangible sigh of relief escaped Matthewâs lips.
âWhen will Stella regain consciousness?â
âWhile sheâs stabilized, Stella lost a significant amount of blood.
Weâll need to closely monitor her wake-up timing,â Farris informed him.
Matthew nodded, his demeanor weighed down by lingering concern.
âMay I go in to see her?â
Only by witnessing Stellaâs well-being firsthand could he truly breathe easy.
âYou may, but limit your time.
She needs her rest,â Farris advised before walking away.

After Stella was moved to the intensive care unit, Matthew donned sterile attire and entered the room.
She lay there, her face already cleansed of any blood, appearing unnaturally pale and lifeless.
âStellaâ¦â Matthew leaned in, his voice parched and shaky, whispering softly into her ear.
She remained motionless, offering no response.
Taking her hand gently into his own, he lent her a semblance of vitality.
Matthew gently held her hand, offering her a glimmer of strength.
âYou have to wake up soon.
You vowed that weâd confront lifeâs challenges together.
You canât break that promise.
You canât abandon me now.
So many people love you.
Donât make us worry, okay?â
Farrisâ words about Stellaâs diminished will to live flashed through his mind, stabbing his heart with pain so acute it left him breathless.
It was an agony so suffocating, it engulfed every fiber of his being.
