Chapter 857

Matthew chuckled softly and made his way to the bedroom, where he carefully placed Stella on the bed, tucking her in with the quilt.

“Hum.

”

However, Stella frowned and appeared restless and let out a soft, discontented sound.

Matthew couldn’t shake the concern that he might inadvertently hurt Stella, so he leaned in for a closer look.

She let out a faint groan before drifting back into slumber.

Gently, he caressed her wrist, noticing the subtle tremors in her hand.

Matthew frowned.

He couldn’t help but recall the evening Stella was discharged from the hospital.

When they shared a meal, her hand appeared somewhat feeble.

His frown deepened.

After the car accident, Stella had sustained numerous injuries, including her wrist.

However, the doctor’s examination hadn’t detected any issues with it.

Matthew’s expression grew even more serious.

For a designer, hands were their lifeline.

If something were truly amiss with Stella’s hands…

Interrupting that train of thought, he administered a gentle wrist massage to her while ensuring she remained asleep.

After confirming that Stella was undisturbed, he extinguished the light and quietly exited the room.

Back in his study, Matthew opened a drawer and retrieved Stella’s file.

Farris’ signature and contact information adorned the cover.

Concerned for Stella’s well-being, Matthew reached out to Farris and scheduled an appointment for the following day.

The next day, Matthew arrived punctually at Farris’ office.

Upon their meeting, neither of them extended a warm welcome.

Cutting straight to the chase, Farris inquired, “Is something wrong with Stella?”

When Stella had been released from the hospital, they had exchanged contact information.

However, aside from his role as Stella’s physician, Farris hadn’t found a compelling reason to involve himself in her affairs.

Consequently, he hadn’t reached out to her.

Yet, Matthew’s demeanor radiated hostility and suspicion towards him.

There was no possibility of civil pleasantries between them.

Matthew’s visit could only be motivated by concern for Stella.

Matthew’s brow furrowed deeply.

Farris’ intimate way of addressing Stella irritated him.

He placed Stella’s medical records before Farris with a tinge of accusation and asked, “Are you absolutely certain that there were no issues with Stella’s health before her discharge from the hospital?”
