Waldo remained silent; his expression aged within a matter of seconds.
Once she ensured his comfort, Stella exited the ward and headed back to the ICU.
Gazing through the window at the unconscious Matthew, Stella felt her heart ache, almost breathless with emotion.
Never could they have imagined their joyful wedding would culminate in such circumstances.
Observing Matthew, she shed silent tears, whispering, “Please wake up. I can’t bear this any longer.”

Stella grasped the gravity of the situation.
She gripped her hands so tightly that her knuckles paled, feeling a tinge of helplessness in her heavy heart. “However, I’ve already resigned. Despite being Matthew’s wife, I can’t involve myself in company matters. And we can’t bother Waldo anymore considering his delicate condition.”
