They stood there, staring at each other.
Matthew assumed that Perry was Stella’s husband.
He felt a bit strange.
There was no need for him to worry about her after all. Her husband was taking care of her.
Perry recognized Matthew at a glance too.
He was shocked.

“What are you doing here?”
Matthew replied, “I was in the neighborhood, so I decided to drop by to see how Stella is doing.”
His tone was very calm.
Without thinking too much, Perry said bluntly, “She’s still down with a fever.”
This drew a dissatisfied frown from Matthew almost immediately.
Stella had asked for sick leave yesterday because she was down with a fever.
It had already been twenty-four hours since she sent that message, but she was still sick. What kind of a husband did she have? Did he not care about her?

A trace of anger was in Matthew’s tone as he said, “Since the fever is Lingering, it must be something serious. Why haven’t you taken her to the hospital yet?”
Perry was rendered speechless.
He only just got here. How could he know why Miley hadn’t sent Stella to the hospital yet? Besides, why was Matthew staring at him as if this was his fault?
Perry felt he was under fire for something that was so not his doing.
After moments of trying to stay calm, he said in a stuffy voice, just gave her some medicine. I want to observe her condition first.
The ice in Matthew’s eyes remained the same. His jaw was clenched.
Although he wasn’t satisfied with this answer, he knew he had no right to get short with Perry over Stella’s ill health.
“Take me to her,” he said finally.
Perry couldn’t believe his ears.
His jaw almost went slack, but when he noticed that Matthew was dead serious, he regained his composure and let him in.
Perry shrugged. Maybe it was part of the company’s policy for Matthew to visit a sick employee. It would be rude to shut the door in his face.
