When Love Comes Late
Chapter 829

“And Dulce?” Her inquiry was soft, yet it carried the weight of concern.

Matthew’s expression hardened slightly, his voice taking on a steely resolve.

“I will not allow anyone who has harmed you to cross your path again.

Two days later, Stella was discharged from the hospital.

As she made her way out of the medical facility, an impressive lineup of sleek, black luxury cars greeted her, radiating an undeniable aura of grandeur and wealth.

Surprised, Stella lifted her gaze to the man beside her.

“Is this your doing?”

A crease formed between Matthew’s eyebrows, his face a mask of confusion.

He studied the license plates briefly and responded with composure.

Sensing her unease, Matthew offered her comfort.

“Don’t worry, it’s just a simple meal.

Pausing, she shut her eyes against the memory, attempting to regulate her quickening breaths.

“What’s wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?” Matthew, ever attentive, noticed.

Regaining composure, Stella slowly shook her head.

“I’m alright.

”

“If you’re unwell, we can rest.

The meal can wait.

” Matthew was skeptical, seeing through her denial.

Stella met his gaze, her smile strained but earnest.
