Chapter 873

Was this woman a doctor? Was Matthew unwell? Had he concealed an injury from her earlier?

Lost in thought, Stella failed to notice when the sound of flowing water ceased.

Matthew emerged from the bathroom and he was momentarily taken aback.

Seeing Stella holding his phone in a daze, he approached her, asking, “What’s wrong?”

Hearing this, Stella came to her senses.

She met his gaze and, without hesitation, turned the screen to him.

“Who is Selene? Why is she inviting you to her clinic? Matthew, are you keeping something from me?”

Glancing at the screen, Matthew understood the situation.

Realizing that he couldn’t hide the truth any longer, he guided Stella to sit down and recounted everything.

“So, I’m planning to take you to her clinic for a checkup,” he concluded.

Stella couldn’t help but chuckle at his response.

Matthew was puzzled by her laughter and growing restlessness.

With a smile, Stella inquired, “Matthew, do you see me as someone who can’t handle a setback?”

“No,” Matthew hurriedly denied, shaking his head.

“I just didn’t want this situation to affect your mood or disrupt your work on Mia’s design.

”

His consideration touched Stella’s heart and put her at ease.

She shared her own thoughts with him.

“Actually, I’ve been experiencing wrist pain.

I intended to see a doctor after completing the design for Mia.

”

Finally, she emphasized, “Matthew, I’m not as fragile as you may think.

”

Stella had been adopted by Clint as a child and had endured bullying despite Clint’s kindness.

She had been toughened by those hardships.

As long as her loved ones were safe, nothing could truly shake her.

Matthew felt a deep sense of sympathy for Stella, appreciating her strength all the more.

He held her tenderly in his arms, his fingers gently caressing her hair.

“It’s late.

Go to bed early.

I’ll take you to see a doctor tomorrow.
