When Love Comes Late
Chapter 972

Suddenly, heavy rain fell, mixing with blood, blurring her vision.

The scene before Stella faded away gradually.

The sound of the wind seemed like a mournful Lament.

Matthew rushed to the hospital upon receiving the call.

By then, Stella’s wounds had been treated, and she was in the ward.

Watching her pallid face, Matthew felt a surge of pain.

They were on the phone just this afternoon.

How did she end up in this condition?

“Sorry… I failed to protect you well,” he whispered, holding Stella’s hand gently.

“During the accident, someone shielded Mrs.

Clark.

She sustained minor injuries, which we’ve treated.

She passed out due to extreme shock; we administered a tranquilizer,” the doctor told Matthew.

Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.

He stared at Stella and asked the doctor, “Who saved her? How are they doing?”

“He…” The doctor shook his head sadly.

Stella had a dream of the car accident again.

The scene was blurry, but she saw the face of the man who called her “baby daughter.

” It was a handsome face with a pair of warm eyes.

She chased after him, calling, “Daddy!”

The scene changed abruptly to the car accident.

The car was smashed to pieces, and the ground was covered in blood.

The man’s warm eyes were closed, and his face was pale.

He muttered her name.

Soon, his hand holding Stella’s grew cold, and he stopped breathing.

Stella woke up from her dream, panting hard.

She sat up on the bed, trying to calm herself.

“Are you awake?” Matthew asked as he smoothed her messy hair and wiped the sweat off her forehead.

“Are you all right? I’ll call the doctor over,” he added, rubbing Stella’s cold hands.

When Stella heard the word “doctor,” she gradually calmed down.

“Where is Farris?” She remembered that Farris had been on a stretcher before she passed out.

Matthew didn’t answer.

He stared at Stella, an unfathomable expression on his face.

After a few moments of silence, he patted her on the head softly and said, “You just woke up.

You should rest.
