With a parting vow, he addressed Stella with anger in his eyes.
“Stella, this isn’t over. I’ll be back.”
As Aziel departed, the onlookers began to disperse.
Stella slumped into a chair, feeling utterly drained. She clutched her collar, the turmoil within her heart palpable.
Aziel seemed as persistent as ever, an unwelcome presence she couldn’t shake.

Stella couldn’t help but wonder about the potential confrontation that might have taken place had Aziel met Clint. Her mind was a swirl of possibilities.
Amid her thoughts, a paper cup appeared before her, startling her out of her reverie.
She looked up and found Farris offering her the cup of water. He took a seat beside her and advised, “Drink some water. It’s all right. I promise they won’t return.”
Stella held the cup tightly, the warm water soothing her cold, trembling hands.
She mustered a faint “Thank you.” Sipping the water, she finally felt warmth returning to her body.
She regarded Farris and broached the matter of Clint’s operation.
“Dr.
Barnes, I want my grandpa to undergo an operation as soon as possible.
Farris seemed slightly taken aback by her sudden request.
He adjusted his glasses and spoke calmly.
“We can’t rush this. We must perform a comprehensive examination to ensure your grandfather is in suitable condition for the operation.”
Stella, her lips pursed, knew that a thorough examination was crucial before Clint’s surgery.

However, she couldn’t escape the ever-present threat of Aziel, who seemed like a ticking time bomb. Aziel knew Clint was here, and he would come here again.
Farris was well aware of Stella’s concerns. He raised his hand as if to comfort her, but hesitated, retracting it before patting her on the shoulder.
He then stood up and told her, “Leave it to me. You need not worry.
It’s late. Get some rest.”
With those words, he departed, leaving Stella to her thoughts.
In his office, Farris contemplated the situation, feeling the heaviness of the recent confrontation. He took off his glasses and rested his head in his hands.
After a moment of silence, he retrieved an old photo album from his drawer.
