So, she replied with a smile, “Okay, I know.”
Matthew finished bandaging her wound. He picked her up and carried her upstairs. “Your hand is injured, and you can’t touch water. I’ll help you take a bath.”
“No need.” Stella’s face flushed. “I can do it myself. I’ll just call you if I need anything.”
Matthew was about to say something when his phone suddenly rang.
Stella quickly pushed Matthew with her other hand and reminded him, “Your phone is ringing. It’s late, so it must be something urgent.
Put me down and answer it. My feet are fine. I can walk to the bathroom.”
Matthew had no plan to answer his phone. However, it kept ringing persistently.
He had no choice but to put Stella down reluctantly. But he reminded her, “Be careful. Call me if you need anything.”
Stella nodded, turned around, walked to the bathroom, and closed the door.

He had been so engrossed in accompanying Stella to Bysea that Carl’s matters were pushed to the back of his mind. Thus, Carl’s passing caught him off guard.

Matthew turned to see Stella stepping out of the bathroom. After exchanging a few words with Fernando, he walked over to Stella.
He took the hairdryer from her and offered, “Please have a seat.
I’ll do this for you.”
Stella accepted his offer since drying her hair single-handedly was a bit of a struggle.
She settled into the chair and peered at Matthew in the mirror, asking, “Who was on the phone just now?”
“It was Fernando,” Matthew answered briefly. “The incident on the cruise ship is settled now.”
“Who was responsible? Did you get to the bottom of it?” Stella’s eyes were filled with curiosity as she gazed at Matthew.
Matthew responded vaguely, “It’s all sorted. I’ve dealt with the person responsible. There’s no need to worry.”
Rather than feeling relieved, Stella’s concern grew.
