When Love Comes Late
Chapter 871

“You stay there and wait for me.

I’ll be right there.

”

After ending the call, Matthew rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.

As soon as he parked the car, he saw Stella coming out.

Stella hurried up to him and examined him anxiously.

“I just received a call from the hospital, saying you were injured.

Where are you hurt?”

Before she could finish her sentence, Matthew pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly and smelling the faint fragrance from her body.

“I’m very happy to see you care about me so much.

”

Stella attempted to push him away, but as soon as she moved, she heard him groan in pain.

Worry etched across her face as she asked, “Where are you injured?

How did it happen? What did the doctor say?”

Matthew led her to the car and said, “Let’s go home first.

”

The two of them arrived home, and under the bright light, Stella finally noticed a red and swollen Lump on Matthew’s forehead.

She asked with concern, “Do you have any other injuries? Let me check you out.

How did this happen?”

“I’m fine, really.

I just bumped into a wild cat on my way home while I was driving.

The doctor has already applied some medicine,”

Matthew replied casually.

However, his nonchalant demeanor only raised more doubts in Stella’s mind.

“Since you’re okay, let me take a look,” Stella insisted.

She needed to see for herself that he had no other injuries.

Matthew reluctantly took off his shirt, revealing bruises on his chest and grazes on his arms.

Stella’s heart ached.

“You said you were fine.

Does it hurt?”

Matthew put his shirt back on and hugged her gently.

“It’s just minor wounds, nothing serious.

I upset you tonight.

I deserved this.

”

“Don’t say that!” Stella interrupted him, placing her hand over his mouth, her eyes filled with tears.

Matthew took her hand and nodded.
