With a gratified grin, Clint scanned their faces with his luminous eyes.
He clasped Stella’s hand and gently patted it.
“You’ve gone above and beyond in taking care of me.”
“Grandpa, don’t mention it. I’d do anything for you, as long as you’re well,” Stella assured him.
Clint smiled.
“You are indeed a dutiful granddaughter.”
After a brief pause, he shifted his focus to Matthew.
“Seeing you and Stella together brings me great joy. I have a request. Can you promise me something?”
“Please, go on,” Matthew said respectfully.
“I’ll completely recover soon. After I go back to Bysea, Stella will only have you to lean on in this city. Please take good care of her, okay?”

I vow to take exceptional care of her and shield her from any hardships.”
“Very well.” Satisfied, Clint simply nodded.
Clint took Matthew’s hand and interlaced it with Stella’s. Offering a compassionate smile, he advised, “A successful marriage thrives on mutual support. After I leave, it’s imperative that you two live in harmony. Discuss any issues openly, and always value each other’s perspectives to avoid deepening misunderstandings.”
“Grandpa…” Stella’s voice choked with emotion.
Matthew tightened his grip on Stella’s hand and promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll take excellent care of Stella.”
Feeling Matthew’s warm palm envelop hers, Stella felt a comforting warmth spread through her.
“I’ll do my best to understand Matthew and nurture our marriage, Grandpa,” she pledged.
With a gratified nod, Clint released their hands.
