When Love Comes Late
Chapter 896

With those words, he rose from his seat and left the dining room.

Stella turned to call after him.

“Matthew.

”

She wanted to explain, but he didn’t look back, and in the end, she remained silent.

He was deeply resentful of Farris, and no matter what she said now, he would not listen.

Furthermore, there were certain principles she wanted to uphold.

She didn’t want to capitulate simply because Matthew was her husband.

Such concessions would be meaningless for their marriage.

The following day, Stella arrived at the hospital.

She had tried calling Farris several times, but he hadn’t answered, so she decided to visit him in person.

She went to Farris’ office and knocked on the door, but there was no response.

Stella gently pushed the door open, replaceing an empty room with Farris‘ white coat hanging neatly on a hook.

Puzzled, she closed the door and was about to inquire with a nurse when she turned and saw Mina approaching.

When Mina laid eyes on Stella, she marched towards her.

Her expression was cold as she scolded, “Stella, how dare you come to see Farris?”

Unfazed, Stella maintained her composure.

“You posted the online rumor that I hired someone to draw for me, didn’t you?”

Before Mina could utter a word, Stella saw a flicker of panic in her eyes.

“I know it was you.

” Without affording Mina an opportunity to respond, Stella continued, “When I was hospitalized, you were entrusted with my medical records.

Farris is a man of integrity.

He wouldn’t engage in such actions against me.

You were the only one with the means to set this up.

”

Mina’s loathing for Stella was obvious, her emotions laid bare.

“Yes, I did it.

What of it?” she confessed, unapologetic.

Stella’s countenance darkened abruptly.

“Mina, do you realize you’ve broken the law?”

Mina’s sneer was unrepentant.

“So what? You wretched woman, I’ve despised you for so long.

If you hadn’t come into the picture, Farris would have married me.
