Moments later, Perry pushed the door carefully just so water wouldn’t spill from the glass in his hand. He was about to take his first step in when his eyes fell on Matthew’s back.
Why was Stella’s boss sitting so close to her and staring without moving a muscle? Could it be that he had feelings for her?
Suspicious thoughts threaded Perry’s mind. After much hesitation, he decided to leave. It was daytime and although Stella was down with a fever, she hadn’t lost her tongue, so Matthew wouldn’t dare to do anything stupid. She was safe alone with him.
Ten minutes later, Cordell arrived.
His face darkened after a simple examination of the patient.
Shoving his stethoscope into his pocket, he glared at Matthew and expressed displeasure.
“You called me all the way from the hospital this morning just to examine a patient who is down with a minor fever?”

The way Matthew spoke on the phone earlier made him believe that Stella’s life was in danger.
“Cut the crap.” Matthew gave him a side eye and then asked, “How is she?”
Cordell packed up his doctor’s bag and answered truthfully, “It’s just a fever, not a big deal. She has taken some medicine, so she will get better very soon.”
Matthew was about to say something when Perry came into the room.
“Thanks for coming,” he said to Cordell.

Cordell didn’t reply.
He gave Perry a once-over. With his head tilted a little, he smiled and shot Matthew an inquiring look.
Matthew said coldly, “Now that we know she will get better, let’s take our leave.”
Matthew and Cordell went out of Stella’s room.
Perry saw them out.
As soon as they were meters away from the building, Cordell looked back and asked, “Is that man Stella’s husband? He is so young and handsome.”
Matthew had a long face as he remained silent.
Cordell sidled up to him and teased, “You feel unhappy, don’t you?
Stella’s husband appears to be someone with a good temper. He’s nothing like you who always wears a frown. If I were Stella, I wouldn’t have thought about choosing you over—”
“Are you done now?” Matthew cut him off in a low voice.
The spark in Matthew’s eyes was enough to tell Cordell to drop the topic.
With a smile, he put his arm around Matthew’s shoulders and asked, “Where are you headed? Give me a ride. My car has been sent for maintenance. I came here in a taxi.”
