Intrigued, she swiftly picked it up, her fingers dancing over the screen. It was a message from Maverick.
“Apologies for my tardiness last night. Unforeseen matters demand my attention, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to join you for a while.
Take care and indulge in some well-deserved rest.”
Stella stared at those words, her gaze locked on the message.

Gradually, she came to terms with the truth: Maverick was the one who landed her in the hospital.
With a sigh, she tucked her phone away, her lips sealed in silence.
In the afternoon, Stella’s doctor wrapped up her check-up and gave her the green light to leave the hospital.
Clint and Oliver took Stella home.
As they approached the house, they caught sight of a figure kneeling outside.
Closer and closer the car glided, the man’s face gradually came into view.

It was Aziel!
Just seeing Aziel pissed Oliver off. He jumped out immediately the car was parked. He rushed towards Aziel and landed a kick on his shoulder.
“Screw you! How dare you come back here! Stella is our family. How dare you insult her like that?”
Oliver grabbed Aziel’s collar, landing punches on his face one after the other.
Instead of fighting back, Aziel just let Oliver toss him around.
He begged for mercy repeatedly.
“I… I know… I was wrong.
“You’re a total waste of space! How could you hurt your niece? Are you even human?” Oliver raged.
Clint was so angry that he trembled all over. Holding his cane, he was about to take a step forward, when Stella suddenly stopped him.
“Why don’t you head in first, Grandpa? I and Oliver will take care of him.”
Clint refused.
“I’m going to beat this ungrateful bastard to death!
Do not stop me! I must beat him!”
“Grandpa, please calm down. It’s not worth it. Oliver and I will be very sad if you accidentally get hurt. So please go in.” Stella wasn’t interested in his opinion. She called the butler over, “Please take him in for me.”
