Chapter 910
When Love Comes Late
With that, she swiftly exited the restaurant and hailed a taxi bound for the hospital.
When Miley arrived, Stella had just completed her infusion, and a nurse was removing the IV tube.
Stella was lost in thought, oblivious to Mileyâs arrival.
âWhat happened? Why are you in the hospital?â Miley asked, her touch tender as she stroked Stellaâs pallid face.
Stella attempted a smile and explained, âI have a fever.
Iâm sorry for causing you worry again.
â
âWhy have you become so weak? Miley frowned, her tone remained concerned.
âDo you have any lingering effects from the car accident?
Once you recover, we should schedule a thorough physical examination.
Shaking her head, Stella reassured her, âIâm fine.
Iâll take good care of myself.
â
âBy the way, whereâs Matthew? Why isnât he here in the ward with you while youâre unwell?â Miley scanned the room, but there was no sign of him.
Stella blinked and confessed in a hushed tone, âWe had an argument.
Iâd like to stay at your house tonight, if thatâs okay.
â
Seeing the pain in Stellaâs eyes, Mileyâs heart ached for her.
Without prying further, she held Stellaâs shoulder and said, âYouâre always welcome.
You can stay at my villa for as long as you need, not just tonight.
â
Stella looked at her gratefully, holding her hand and offering a relieved smile.
Miley gathered her belongings and helped Stella leave the ward.
As they stood at the hospitalâs entrance, waiting for a taxi, Stella happened to notice a Rolls-Royce parked in a corner.
Stella knew it was Matthewâs car.
She glanced at it briefly, then redirected her attention as if nothing had happened, boarding the taxi with Miley.
Inside the car, Matthew watched Stella and the taxi pull away, his fingers tapping irritably on the steering wheel.
However, he kept a discreet distance and followed them closely.
It wasnât until the taxi reached Prosper Bay, and he saw them safely entering Mileyâs home, that Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him.
He parked his car at Mileyâs doorstep and gazed at the door for a while before being interrupted by an emergency call from Fernando, pulling him back into the affairs of Prosperity Group.
Back in his office, the image of his argument with Stella played on a loop in Matthewâs mind, fueling his discontent.
