With that, she swiftly exited the restaurant and hailed a taxi bound for the hospital.
When Miley arrived, Stella had just completed her infusion, and a nurse was removing the IV tube.
Stella was lost in thought, oblivious to Miley’s arrival.
“What happened? Why are you in the hospital?” Miley asked, her touch tender as she stroked Stella’s pallid face.
Stella attempted a smile and explained, “I have a fever. I’m sorry for causing you worry again.”

“Why have you become so weak? Miley frowned, her tone remained concerned.
“Do you have any lingering effects from the car accident?
Once you recover, we should schedule a thorough physical examination.
Shaking her head, Stella reassured her, “I’m fine. I’ll take good care of myself.”
“By the way, where’s Matthew? Why isn’t he here in the ward with you while you’re unwell?” Miley scanned the room, but there was no sign of him.
Stella blinked and confessed in a hushed tone, “We had an argument.
I’d like to stay at your house tonight, if that’s okay.”
Seeing the pain in Stella’s eyes, Miley’s heart ached for her.
Without prying further, she held Stella’s shoulder and said, “You’re always welcome. You can stay at my villa for as long as you need, not just tonight.”
Stella looked at her gratefully, holding her hand and offering a relieved smile.
Miley gathered her belongings and helped Stella leave the ward.

She glanced at it briefly, then redirected her attention as if nothing had happened, boarding the taxi with Miley.
Inside the car, Matthew watched Stella and the taxi pull away, his fingers tapping irritably on the steering wheel.
However, he kept a discreet distance and followed them closely.
It wasn’t until the taxi reached Prosper Bay, and he saw them safely entering Miley’s home, that Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him.
He parked his car at Miley’s doorstep and gazed at the door for a while before being interrupted by an emergency call from Fernando, pulling him back into the affairs of Prosperity Group.
Back in his office, the image of his argument with Stella played on a loop in Matthew’s mind, fueling his discontent.
