Also, it wasn’t in his place to turn Matthew back. There was no harm in allowing him in, right?
Thinking of this, Perry led Matthew to Stella’s room and walked in.
The first thing Matthew saw when he got into the room was Stella lying in the bed. Her face was red and she was frowning as if she was in pain.
He felt his heart ache for a split second.
Worry almost pushed him forward. But on second thought, he stood rooted to the spot with his hands clenched.
The silence in the room made the situation a bit more awkward.
Perry rubbed the tip of his nose and smiled stiffly.
“Mr. Clark, have a seat. I’ll go get you something to drink.”
Matthew’s eyes were glued to Stella’s face. It was as if he didn’t hear anyone speaking to him.
Perry gave him another stiff smile before leaving the room.
Silence fell again, this time a lot more deafening than the first.
Matthew stood like a stone structure for a long time before he took a step forward.

She was burning up!
Stella hummed painfully with her eyes still closed.
With a frown, Matthew took back his hand. He whipped out his phone and dialed Cordell’s number.
The line rang for a long time before it connected. A dazed voice came.
“Hey, man! What’s up?”
“Come down to Area D of Prosper Bay right away,” Matthew ordered coldly.
Cordell became a little sober and asked, “Last I checked, that’s not where you live. Did you move? Or is that where you kept your wife hidden?”
“Enough with the silly questions! Stella is sick. Come here right now!”
Matthew snarled.
Without giving Cordell the chance to speak again, he hung up the phone. He stood watching Stella for a long time before he pulled a chair closer to the bedside.
His body was stiff as he continued staring.
