Catching Stella’s surprised gaze, Flossie offered a warm smile.
“Stella, you’re back.”
Stella nodded, instantly understanding that it was Flossie who had arranged for Clint’s transfer to the upscale ward.

Picking up on the subtext of Clint’s words, Stella hesitated but remained silent.

“They’ll make amends by the time you’re discharged. Don’t worry.” She smiled.

With her rising fame came a surge of responsibilities. Her primary reason for coming to the hospital was at Matthew’s behest.
As Stella and Flossie exited the room, Stella seized the opportunity to ask, “How did you manage to upgrade my grandfather’s ward to a VIP room?”
