Matthew, with a faint smile, reassured her in a weak voice, “I’m okay now, feeling a lot better.”
He straightened up and glanced at Stella.
“About what happened in the elevator… I didn’t have the strength to keep Leslie away. I’m sorry; please don’t be upset.”
With a gentle shake of her head and a smile, Stella replied, “I’m not mad. You’re so charming; it’s no wonder women are drawn to you.”
Her slightly jealous tone brought a smile to Matthew’s face.
He wrapped his arms around Stella and planted a ki*s on her cheek.
“Darling, you’re the most captivating woman ever. I should be the one keeping an eye on you. Try the cake I bought. Consider it a token of my apology. I promise, it won’t happen again.”
Amused, Stella leaned against Matthew’s chest, greedy for the sense of security and protection he gave her.
“Don’t forget to come along with the medicine next time you decide to join me for therapy, okay?” she reprimanded softly as she remembered what happened to him earlier.
“Okay.” Matthew smiled at her.
“I promise not to forget it next time.”
Satisfied, Stella stopped talking about the subject.
“I think someone caused the elevator accident on purpose,” she said seriously as she got out of Matthew’s arms to look him in the eye.
Matthew furrowed his brows in slight confusion.

She took a small pause before going on, “I decided to call security.
They said the elevator was examined in the morning and had no problem at all.”
Matthew’s gaze darkened. He nodded thoughtfully, processing everything she had just said.
“But even if I’m right, who do you think is capable of doing that?”
Stella asked, a worried expression now on her face.
Matthew stared at a spot, lost in thought.
He had also suspected that the accident didn’t happen naturally, but he just couldn’t figure out who would do it.
