Chapter 968
When Love Comes Late
Farris paused, collecting himself before he said slowly, âToday is Minaâs trial.
â
Stella was taken aback and instinctively glanced at the calendar on her table.
Previously, after she and Miley had found themselves in a precarious situation at the shopping mall, she had become somewhat watchful of Mina.
However, everything had proceeded smoothly afterward.
And amidst her busy life, she had gradually forgotten about Minaâs existence.
She was stunned upon hearing the news.
Regaining composure, Stella replied, âUnderstood.
â
âStellaâ¦â After a brief hesitation, Farris asked, âMina genuinely regrets her actions this time.
She wishes to apologize to you in person.
For my sake, could you consider meeting her?â
At this point, Stella couldnât find a reason to refuse.
They would just have to meet once, and with Farris present, she doubted Mina would attempt anything.
âOkay.
â After a brief pause, she added, âFor your sake, Iâll see her for the last time.

âThank you, Stella,â Farris said with a hint of bitterness.
âSend me the address, and Iâll pick you up.
â
Stella provided her studioâs address.
An hour later, Farris called, and Stella went downstairs.
As she stepped out, she noticed a light drizzle beginning, making the weather a bit cooler.
She shrugged, grabbed her coat, and hurried into the car.
âItâs suddenly gotten chilly.
Would you like another jacket?â Farris turned to her, attempting to ease the tension from their long absence.
âNo.
Weâll only meet her.
Iâll be back soon.
â Concerned by Farrisâ tired Stella couldnât but âHave been appearance, help ask, you busy at the hospital lately? As a doctor, you should take care of yourself, or patients will worry about you too.
â
With his gaze lowered, Farris tightened his grip on the steering wheel and murmured, âIâve been trying to assist Mina these days, hoping the court will be lenient in her sentencing.
â
Noticing Stellaâs surprise, he added, âEven though I dislike Mina, our families have a strong bond.
If I can help, I feel I should.
â
Stella nodded silently.
Recognizing her stance towards Mina, Farris chose not to pursue the topic.
He started the car and drove off.
Throughout their conversation, both avoided discussing Mina.
Approaching a traffic light near the courthouse, Farris stopped at a red signal.
