Alex tried to defend himself.

Two days later, Clint was going to undergo his final medical check-up before being discharged from the hospital. Stella had stayed by his side throughout his stay.

Meanwhile, at Prosperity Group, Matthew was keenly aware that today was Clint’s final examination. Hastily wrapping up urgent tasks, he sped to the hospital.
He knew about Stella’s constant vigil beside Clint in the last couple of days and was concerned for her well-being.

The two men stood there, facing each other across the narrow bed, tension crackling between them.
Just then, a shrill alarm broke the silence.
Stella silenced the alarm clock and woke up, visibly startled by the electric atmosphere in the room.
