When Love Comes Late -
Chapter 904
How could she defend her former lover in front of him?
Matthew removed his tie, tossing it onto the sofa.
His gaze bore into Stella’s with a fiery intensity as he said in a deep, unwavering voice, “Yes, I’m that kind of person.
If you don’t want to be here, you’re free to leave.
”
This marked the first time someone had easily shaken his composure, and he had no intention of explaining himself any further.
Stella was left dumbfounded, her expression a mixture of disbelief, disappointment, and confusion.
She couldn’t fathom that it was truly Matthew who had orchestrated Farris’ suspension.
How could he so readily slander an innocent person and wield his influence to destroy their career?
Was this the same Matthew she had always loved for his gentleness and consideration?
“Matthew, you’re so heartless!” Stella’s voice quivered as disappointment welled up in her eyes.
She shook her head slightly, disheartened.
After saying her piece, she rose to leave but suddenly felt lightheaded.
In a rush, she gripped the back of the sofa to steady herself.
An unexpected wave of discomfort swept over her.
Her body gradually became weak, and she felt dizzy, and the strength supporting herself on the sofa gradually disappeared.
Matthew also noticed something was amiss.
Just as she was about to collapse, he swiftly stood and reached out, his long arm wrapping around her waist.
He looked anxious, regret flickering in his eyes.
“Stella, Stella’s consciousness blurred, but she still recalled their recent argument.
Feebly, she attempted to push him away, but she lacked the strength to do so.
Matthew brushed his hand against her forehead and cheek with his other hand, noting her alarmingly high temperature.
“Damn it!” He had been so consumed by anger earlier that he hadn’t realized she had a fever.
Without hesitation, Matthew scooped her up and rushed out of the office.
When Stella regained consciousness, she found herself in a hospital room.
Fernando stood beside her bed, ready to aid her.
It was just the two of them in the ward.
Stella breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at the IV line, her voice hoarse as she asked, “What happened to me?”
She recalled her argument with Matthew, and the sudden dizziness that had overcome her as she prepared to storm out in anger.
Considering the recent car accident, she couldn’t help but worry if there were any lingering effects.
Fernando approached and replied in a gentle tone, “The doctor mentioned that you were simply exhausted.
You can leave the hospital once you’ve finished this IV bag.
It’s essential for you to take better care of yourself and get more rest.
