When Love Comes Late
Chapter 1324

Fernando’s response was cautious.

“Sir, the bodyguards mentioned that Mrs.

Clark has been unwell since this evening.

They were hesitant to enter the villa and risk disturbing her.

”

Learning of Stella’s ill health cooled Matthew’s anger, replacing it with concern.

“What’s wrong with Stella?”

“She seems to be suffering from a headache.

”

Regaining his composure, Matthew gave his instructions.

“Let her be for now.

Station your men at the door and arrange for a doctor first thing in the morning.

”

“Understood,” Fernando confirmed before ending the call.

Matthew returned to his hotel, but rest eluded him.

Stella awoke refreshed, her health restored.

She stretched languidly, reaching for her phone, only to replace it missing.

Recollections of the previous evening reminded her that her bag, with the phone inside, was downstairs.

Concerned that Matthew might be anxious about her lack of communication, she hurried down to retrieve it.

As she entered the living room, her heart leapt at the sight of a figure on the couch.

She thought it was Matthew.

However, as she drew closer, she realized it was Luka.

Puzzled to see him there, Stella decided not to disturb his slumber.

She tiptoed over, retrieved her bag and her phone from the couch, and at that moment, Matthew’s call came through.

“I was just about to contact you,” Stella said as she moved to the dining room.

“How are things on your end?”

“Complicated.

I’ll need to stay here a bit longer,” Matthew replied, his voice betraying his fatigue.

“How are you feeling? What happened last night?”

Stella hesitated, then figured the bodyguards must have informed him.

“I felt unwell yesterday.

Luka helped me inside, and I slept through to the morning.

I’m better now,” she shared honestly.

“Good to hear,” Matthew responded softly, choosing not to mention the photograph.

“I’ll send Fernando with a doctor to check on you.

I’ll be back as soon as possible.

”

Before Stella could respond, the call ended.

She glanced at her phone to replace a series of concerned messages from Matthew from the night before, warming her heart with his care.

As she was about to put away her phone, the doorbell rang.

Opening the door, she found Fernando.

“Mrs.

Clark, Mr.

Clark sent me to ensure you’re examined by a doctor,” he said with a respectful nod.
