When Love Comes Late

Stella nodded, a sense of comfort washing over her.

“Okay.

”

Nestling in his embrace, she realized that many issues could be resolved when she and Matthew communicated openly.

Perhaps this was what Clint had once told her.

Understanding each other was key to maintaining a long-term relationship.

With their misunderstanding cleared, Stella slept soundly and didn’t wake up until there was a soft knock on the door.

She sat up, her eyes heavy with sleep, and saw Erin entering the room with a warm smile.

“Mrs.

Clark.

” Erin greeted her.

“Mr.

Clark asked me to wake you up for breakfast at nine o’clock.

”

Struggling to open her eyes, Stella inquired, “Where’s Matthew?”

“He left early.

There seems to be an emergency meeting at the company,” Erin replied honestly.

Stella nodded and proceeded to freshen up.

After Stella finished breakfast, Matthew returned home, and they headed together to Selene’s clinic.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Stella noticed a woman waiting at the front desk.

As she approached, she immediately recognized Selene as the woman who had been conversing with Matthew at the bar the previous night.

Selene extended her hand with a warm smile.

“Nice to meet you.

My name is Selene Beckett.

Are you Mrs.

Clark?”

Stella was slightly surprised but nodded, shaking her hand in return.

“Nice to meet you.

I’m Stella.

”

“Mr.

Clark has informed me of the situation.

You can begin with a magnetic resonance imaging scan.

We’ll review the results after the examination,” Selene reassured her gently.

Stella followed the nurse to the examination room while Matthew and Selene waited outside.

After a brief silence, Matthew turned to Selene with a question on his mind.

“Dr.

Beckett, I have another question for you.

”

“Please, go ahead.

”

“If someone has lost part of their childhood memory, what could be the underlying cause?”
