When Love Comes Late

Seething with anger, Felix confronted Matthew, “What’s the meaning of this? My family’s done nothing to you.

Why are you making life difficult for us?”

Matthew’s face darkened like a gathering storm.

His fists clenched as if he were on the brink of losing his cool.

Sensing the tension, Stella quickly intervened, addressing Felix.

“Do you think I’m lying in this bed for no reason?”

Felix, momentarily stunned, finally noticed Stella’s presence.

In a voice dripping with misplaced confidence, he averted his gaze and declared, “This has nothing to do with my family.

Regardless, Matthew needs to explain himself today, or I’m not leaving!”

Matthew’s gaze was as cold as ice as he retorted, “You should be asking your sister what she’s done instead of hounding me for answers.

”

Felix frowned at Matthew’s cold tone, suspicion creeping into his mind.

Could Joann have harmed Stella again?

But the severity of Stella’s injuries made him doubt Joann would dare do something so reckless.

Felix opened his mouth to accuse Matthew of lying, but the words caught in his throat as he remembered the explosion in the background when he talked to Joann over the phone.

At the time, he was too indifferent to look into what had happened; instead, he chose to enjoy a leisurely dinner with Lindsay.

It wasn’t until the next morning that he discovered something had gone wrong at his company, and Joann was unreachable.

Matthew, his patience wearing thin, ordered the bodyguards, “Take him out.

And if anyone else barges in, you’re fired!”

Seeing Matthew’s rising anger, the bodyguards quickly moved to drag Felix and his group away.

But Felix resisted, his voice rising in defiance.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, and I won’t believe a word without proof! No matter what, you owe us an explanation!”

Matthew’s voice was as cold as steel.

“Your sister should arrive at the police station in about ten minutes.

If you hurry, you might just catch her there.

Ask her directly if you want answers.

As for your company, it’s finished.

You’re lucky you still have the breath to shout about it here.

You can thank Stella for that!”

Felix barely had time to react before the bodyguards clamped him down and hauled him out.

Finally, the ward regained its peace.

Stella slumped back against the pillows, the exhaustion of all that drama settling in.

Bella squeezed her hand.

“Rest up.

The doctor said you need it.

”

Stella gave a tired nod and allowed her eyes to flutter shut for a moment.

Matthew, on the other hand, was restless.

The doubts gnawing at him needed answers.

He gazed at Stella’s pale face before he turned to Bella.

“I need to check on something.

Will you stay with her?”

Bella offered a reassuring smile.

“Of course.

I’ll make sure she’s okay.

”

Matthew offered a curt nod.

“I won’t be long.

”
