When Love Comes Late
Chapter 696

Her mind scrambled to think of anyone who could possibly help her.

Yet, aside from the medical professionals, no one could truly save Clint.

Standing at the doorway, Stella prayed silently.

Matthew, who had overheard the exchange between Stella and the doctor, tightened his lips and frowned.

After contemplating briefly, he directed Fernando in a hushed tone, “Find out what equipment those doctors require.

Then reach out to all hospitals in Seamarsh and arrange for the best equipment to be sent here immediately.

”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Fernando departed to fulfill the tasks.

Matthew lingered for a moment, staring at Stella’s isolated and vulnerable figure.

He couldn’t resist taking a step forward.

Stella bowed her head, awash in a sense of despair.

It wasn’t until a pair of polished leather shoes entered her line of vision that she finally lifted her head.

Upon seeing Matthew, her eyes brimmed over with tears.

“Grandpa…

Something went wrong during his surgery.

”

“I heard.

I’ve already dispatched someone to handle it,” Matthew reassured her softly.

His soothing voice always had a calming effect on her.

At this moment, all Stella wanted was for her grandfather’s operation to go smoothly.

She couldn’t be bothered with their past grievances.

“Thank you,” she whispered, almost inaudibly.

Noting that Stella’s reaction wasn’t as volatile as it had been before, Matthew felt a sense of relief wash over him.

Witnessing her uncertainty, his emotions were swirling.

After a few moments of weighted silence, he clasped Stella’s hand firmly within his own, “Stella, your grandpa will be alright.

”

The unexpected warmth from his grip caught Stella off guard.

However, she didn’t pull away, perhaps due to some indefinable sense of relief.

Soon after, the required medical equipment was rushed into the operating room.

Stella exhaled a sigh of relief.

She withdrew her hand, offered Matthew a grateful smile, and thanked him once more.

Matthew released his hold on her hand reluctantly.

“You don’t need to thank me.

There’s nothing I wouldn’t do for you.
