When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1084

He signaled the bodyguards to take Wilbert away.

Wilbert tried to speak, but words failed him under Alex’s intense stare.

Stella, who was close by, saw this troubling scene and fought to stay calm.

After Wilbert was gone, Alex looked at Matthew with respect.

“Mr.

Clark, it’s handled.

He won’t trouble your mother again.

Is there anything else you need?”

Matthew’s forehead was furrowed as he noticed a strange cell phone on the floor.

It seemed to have fallen during Wilbert’s scuffle.

Alex followed Matthew’s gaze, quickly picked up the phone, and handed it to him.

The phone was unlocked.

Matthew checked the contacts.

Nothing seemed unusual, except some unlisted calls.

He then opened the messages and saw a text revealing Amara was his mother.

Matthew’s face turned stormy, anger surging within him.

His hand clenched the phone tightly, his veins bulging.

That bastard Benny!

Alex was taken aback by his demeanor.

He paused briefly before prompting him, “Mr.

Clark, your mother is in the room.

”

Stella heard crying from inside and rushed in.

Seeing Amara in a disheveled state, propped against the headboard, Stella’s heart sank.

She quickly went to her and removed the gag gently.

“It’s okay.

Matthew and I are here,” Stella reassured her, her voice shaking as she untied Amara.

Amara seemed to regain some consciousness.

She tried to speak, but tears came first.

“We’ve got you now,” Stella comforted her, feeling a flutter of fear as she held Amara’s icy hand.

Stella yelled to the door, “Matthew, hurry up! We need to get your mom to the hospital!”

Matthew’s face tensed up.

After dealing with the phone call, he instructed Alex, “You stay and take care of things here.

”

“Will do,” Alex responded.

Matthew then entered the room, scooped Amara into his arms, and headed straight for the car.
