As she passed the signed agreement and pen back to Farris, her vision blurred, and she collapsed. Stella slumped forward, leaning toward Farris’ direction.
“Stella…” Miley started to reach out, but Farris was quicker, steadying Stella before she hit the floor.

Miley slid a pillow behind Stella’s back and pressed the call button, adding, “Thankfully, Dr. Barnes caught you just in time.”
Stella furrowed her brows, unable to recall the incident.
Shortly after, Farris entered the room accompanied by a nurse.
“Is Stella alright?” Miley inquired anxiously.

“You’re welcome.” Farris smiled, then quickly regained his composure.
“Do you have other family in Seamarsh? You need to focus on your own recovery.”
“I have no family here,” Stella blurted out, raising her voice defensively.
