When Love Comes Late

He picked up Stella’s X-ray and scrutinized it with heightened intensity.

In a stiff and concerned tone, Matthew began, “Lately, Stella’s been experiencing discomfort in her wrist.

It sometimes doesn’t function properly, and she feels pain when she touches it.

”

With an increasingly serious expression, Farris meticulously reviewed the X-ray once more.

“The X-ray and her previous examinations show no issues.

”

Hearing this, Matthew pressed further with seriousness in his voice, “The car accident she was in last time was quite severe, and her wrist was injured.

Could there be any Lingering effects?”

“In general, if the X-ray looks fine, there shouldn’t be any lasting effects,” Farris replied.

“However, if you’re concerned about Stella or if her condition doesn’t improve, you can have her come for a comprehensive reevaluation.

”

Matthew didn’t offer any further words.

He picked up the medical records, turned on his heel, and headed for the exit.

Just as he was about to open the door, Farris stopped him.

“Mr.

Clark!” Farris called out, his tone serious.

Without looking back, Matthew replied coldly, “Anything else?”

“Please take good care of Stella.

I don’t want anything unfortunate to happen to her again,” Farris said seriously.

Farris had been a doctor for many years and could face death calmly.

Yet, the memory of Stella’s bloody appearance in front of him during the previous accident had left a profound impact.

He didn’t know why Stella had been in the car accident, but his instincts told him it was no mere accident.

The Clark family was influential and wealthy, drawing many watchful eyes.

If someone intended to target Matthew, the quickest route would be to exploit his vulnerability.

That was Stella.

“It’s none of your concern,” Matthew responded coldly, enunciating each word.

Just as he was about to open the door, Farris’ voice compelled him to pause.

“Stella and I used to be together,” Farris declared firmly.

Matthew came to a sudden halt, his expression darkening with concern.

Farris, on the other hand, felt compelled to clarify, “Matthew, Stella and I were together in the past.

So please understand, she means more to me than just a patient.

My feelings for her run as deep as yours.

”

The phrase “being together” held a subtle weight, and its interpretation depended on the observer.

Farris had known Stella even before Matthew had crossed paths with her.

Had circumstances been different, they might have been together long before now.
