Stella, while initially inclined to assure Fernando that she was well, realized a thorough examination might alleviate Matthew’s worries.
She welcomed Fernando and the doctor inside.
As they settled in the living room, Luka, who had been dozing on the sofa, stirred. Standing up, he asked, “Are you feeling better?”
“Yes, much better,” Stella replied quietly, mentioning Matthew’s instructions for a medical check-up.
Fernando shot Luka a brief look before turning his attention back to Stella, urging, “Let’s proceed with the check-up.”
“Okay.” Stella seated herself, ready for the examination.
Luka made a move to approach but was subtly blocked by Fernando.
Acknowledging the cue, Luka kept his distance, sparing Stella any discomfort.

Post-examination, Luka queried about Stella’s condition.
The doctor reassured, “It’s primarily stress-related. A supportive and loving environment will aid her recovery.”
Before Luka could respond, Fernando interjected, “That’s a relief.
I’ll tell Mr. Clark. He loves his wife very much and often spends time with her.”
With the doctor’s departure, Fernando turned his attention to Luka.
“Mr. Swain, perhaps it’s time for you to leave. You’re a celebrity.
Your presence here could complicate matters for Mr. and Mrs. Clark.”

The hostility and warning in his words were obvious.
Understanding the underlying message, Luka countered politely, “I’ll be accompanying Stella to the film set later.”
Fernando, ready to object, was interrupted by an urgent call.
It was a call from the hospital.
An urgent voice said, “Bad news, Fernando. Leo has run away.”
As Fernando received the distressing news, his expression changed significantly. Realizing Stella’s presence, he whispered, “What happened?”
“This morning, they discovered Leo had escaped using a makeshift rope from sheets and covers.”
With narrowed eyes, Fernando answered, “I’ll go to the hospital.”
He then assured Stella, “I need to attend to an urgent matter. The bodyguards will send you to the film set.”
