She was momentarily taken aback.
In just a few days, Farris had transformed into an unrecognizable figure.
His unkempt beard, pronounced dark circles under his eyes, bloodshot gaze, and disheveled hair bore witness to his ordeal. Gone was the handsome man she remembered.
As Farris caught sight of Stella, he wondered if it was an illusion.
He rubbed his eyes to confirm her presence. After realizing she was indeed standing before him, a flicker of surprise crossed his tired eyes.
“How did you find this place? I…”
He wanted to say something but stopped, fully aware of his disheveled appearance.
With an awkward smile, he scratched the back of his head.
“Give me a moment to freshen up, and I’ll join you for a walk.”

“No need.” Stella swiftly declined with a wave of her hand.
“I came here to check on you, and I’m relieved to see you’re okay. Just focus on getting some rest.”
But it seemed Farris didn’t hear her refusal. He disappeared into the bedroom briefly, only to emerge transformed.
Clad in a simple T-shirt and casual pants, he appeared clean and rejuvenated.
His beard was neatly shaved, and his hair impeccably groomed.

Approaching Stella as if nothing had happened, he said, “Let’s go.”
Even though Farris had dressed up, the weariness in his eyes remained.
Stella cast a gentle glance at him and uttered softly, “You should really get some rest. I’ll come visit you in a few days.”
Farris, however, was insistent on taking her out.
“I’m fine, let’s go.”
Observing Farris’ upbeat demeanor, Aileen didn’t want to dampen his spirits. She attempted to persuade Stella.
“If you have some free time, you could go out with Farris for a stroll.”
Stella couldn’t help but feel sorry for Aileen, who had tear stains on her face and was wearing a forced smile.
After bidding farewell to Aileen, she ventured out with Farris.
They walked aimlessly along the streets.
