She turned to the entrance and saw a young, attractive girl with big, expressive eyes.
Leslie looked at Stella with admiration, clearly impressed by Matthew’s tender care for her.
Approaching the couple, Leslie’s face broke into a slight smile as she greeted Stella.
Regaining her composure, Stella politely responded, “Hello, I’m Matthew’s wife, Stella.”
Then, turning to Matthew, she asked, “Who is this young lady?”
A flicker of recognition crossed Stella’s mind as she recalled hearing the girl’s voice.
While she was chatting with Matthew on the video call the previous night, he said the girl was a client’s daughter.
But what was she doing here in Seamarsh?
“This is Leslie Aguilar. I met her while looking for a doctor during my business trip.” Matthew smiled as he introduced the woman to his wife.

“A doctor?” Stella asked, confused.
“Yes, you were trying to recover your memories, right? Leslie’s father is a specialist in that area,” Matthew explained.
Stella locked eyes with Matthew, feeling a rush of gratitude that nearly overwhelmed her.

“Let’s go home,” Matthew said, taking Stella’s hand and guiding her to the exit.
As Stella’s fingers intertwined with his, she noticed the icy chill of his skin and a subtle tremor.
“Matthew?” she called out softly as she noticed beads of sweat on his forehead.
Suddenly, it hit Stella that being in the dark, enclosed theater for so long had triggered Matthew’s claustrophobia.
She clasped his hand as they made their way out of the theater.
“Are you okay? Should we go to the hospital?” she asked, her voice Laced with worry.
“It’s nothing serious. I’ll be fine,” Matthew responded, his lips pale. He mustered a smile to alleviate Stella’s concerns.
However, Stella’s anxiety only grew. Desperate to soothe Matthew but unsure how to help, she felt helpless as she watched him tremble.
“We really should get you to a hospital.” She gripped his arm firmly and guided him towards their car.
But then, Matthew’s condition worsened, his vision blurring as he started to lose consciousness.
