“But why?” Stella asked with a frown. She looked very confused.
Matthew told her his plan “I am not going back, and I will hide the news that I’ve woken up.”
What he said confused Stella even more.
Matthew explained, “Benny is cautious. If he knows I am awake, he will certainly make advance plans. So, it’s best not to make it public for the time being. You can continue dealing with him. Make him feel he is sure to win.”
Stella immediately understood what he meant. This time, he decided to take Benny by surprise. When Benny was unprepared, it would be easier to get rid of him.
She nodded and said solemnly, “I understand. I’ll ask Cordell to hush the nurses on duty tonight.”

Matthew held Stella’s hand and looked at her bloodshot eyes. “I’ll tell him. You should rest first. Don’t stay up late drawing.”
When Stella heard his gentle voice, she felt a lump in her throat.
She had an impulse to cry.
Now that Matthew had woken up, she knew she would no longer have to be alone.
The bed in the VIP ward was very wide. Stella carefully lay beside Matthew, and before closing her eyes, she confirmed again, “I’m worried that everything is just a dream now. You are really awake, right?”
Matthew took her hand and intertwined their fingers. He smiled and answered, “Of course I am awake. Sleep now. I will always be by your side.”
Stella finally closed her eyes and rested peacefully.
Hearing the sound of her steady breathing, Matthew looked down at Stella, leaned closer, and ki*sed her forehead.
He withdrew his hand, picked up his phone from the bedside table, and sent Neville a message. “Come to the hospital tomorrow. Don’t announce to the public that I’m awake.”

The next day, Neville came to the hospital early in the morning.
He walked into the ward and looked at Matthew in disbelief. Neville’s usually playful face was filled with obvious joy at the moment.
Neville reached out and pretended to wipe his tears. “You are finally awake. You’ve scared me to death. As soon as I heard that you woke up last night, I wanted to come to the hospital to see you. It’s just that I was afraid of seeing something I shouldn’t see…”
“Have you said enough?” Matthew interrupted Neville, not interested in his acting. “I asked you to come here because I have something important to discuss with you.”
Neville immediately became serious. “Do you want to deal with Benny? Just tell me. I promise I will do as you say.”
Matthew didn’t deny it. Instead, he told Neville his plan.
After listening to his plan Neville promised solemnly, “Rest assured, I will get it done for you.”
He had been displeased with Benny for a long time. This time, Benny hurt Matthew so badly. Neville could never let Benny go easily.
When Matthew and Neville finished talking, Neville looked around and said, “Where is Stella? She has been with you day and night these days. Why isn’t she here now that you’re awake?”
