Driven by inertia, Stella’s body flew forward a bit. Her seat belt was so tight, it was kind of strangling her.
For a brief moment, a vague memory similar to that of a car accident flashed through her mind.
Stella grew confused.
Fortunately, Matthew stepped on the brakes in time, slowing the car down slightly before the crash. Only the front of the car was damaged.
“It’s okay, Stella.” Matthew unfastened his seat belt, turned and gently comforted her.
“Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?”
Stella came to her senses and realized she was in his arms. She was flustered and tried to break free.
Intense heat filled Stella’s cheeks as she was still in a state of shock.
She patted her chest and said in a low voice, “I’m fine. Thank you.”

As soon as she left his embrace, Matthew felt his heart drop.
He withdrew his outstretched hands.
There was a fog in Stella’s mind at this moment. She couldn’t understand the image that just flashed through her mind.
To the best of her knowledge, she spent the early years of her life in an orphanage. She didn’t leave that orphanage until Clint adopted her.
Why did she have flashes of being in a car accident as a child?
Stella pondered hard to recollect more details, but it didn’t work.
Her head began to ache all of a sudden. It was as if someone was hitting it with a hammer. She grabbed her head with both hands while frowning.
Catching the painful look on her face, Matthew instantly got worried.
“You don’t look good. Let’s get you to the hospital now!”

This voice jarred Stella back to her senses. She braved the pain and waved her hand.
“No need. I’m fine.”
“No, you are not. I’ll take you to the hospital!” Matthew said in a clipped tone, gripping the steering wheel tightly.
When he noticed that she flinched a little, he took a deep breath and explained, “Sorry, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. Just let me take you to the hospital. What happened is my fault because of my driving. As your employer, it’s my duty to make sure you are alright during work hours.”
There was no convincing Matthew otherwise, so Stella nodded and said, “Okay, thanks.”
Matthew glanced at her and said nothing.
