A perplexed frown graced Stella’s face as she peered upwards, only to discern a hurried waiter responsible for the collision.
Not only did the waiter miss an apology, but he hastened away, an anomaly amidst the otherwise courteous staff.
His behavior struck her as strange. Alarm bells echoed in her head.
Stella’s senses quickly sharpened, and she discreetly retrieved the fallen album before tailing the waiter.
The waiter moved towards the entrance of the exhibition hall, pausing momentarily as if searching for someone before resuming his hurried pace.
Stella inched closer and observed the waiter’s destination: Matthew.
Unbeknownst to them, Matthew and Donn engaged in joyful conversation, oblivious to the scene unfolding behind them.
Just as the waiter neared a freestanding easel adjacent to the two conversing men, an unexpected move unfolded-the waiter extended a hand and forcefully pushed the easel in Matthew’s direction.
With the easel teetering perilously close to Matthew, Stella’s voice pierced the air.
“Mr. Clark, watch out!”
As Stella spoke, she rushed forward, her urgency evident in every step she took.
Eyes gleaming with determination, she forcefully moved Matthew out of her way.
In an unexpected turn of events, the sturdy easel collided with Stella, leaving a grievous gash on her arm. Blood flowed profusely from the wound, trickling down her arm and pooling on the floor.
“Stella!” Matthew sprinted towards her.
“Security!” Donn bellowed.

The situation grew somewhat tumultuous.
A sense of astonishment swept through the crowd, causing everyone to disperse, while the waiter was immobilized by the security personnel.
Stella tumbled to the floor, and crimson liquid swiftly gathered beneath her wounded arm.
She had lost a lot of blood, making her face pale, and she felt a bit lightheaded. Black dots swirled across her vision.
She sensed someone supporting her, and their hands appeared to tremble slightly.
Then, a man’s voice came from over her head.
“Stella, don’t worry.
I’ll rush you to the hospital.”
She recognized the voice as Matthew’s.
