Drawing a deep breath, Stella concluded, “I’ve given up on him.”
Miley was taken aback by the gravity of the situation.

Miley responded, “She found a doctor, and her grandfather is slated for surgery soon.”
A subtle nod from Matthew acknowledged the news.
“That’s a relief.”

If Matthew had been honest with Stella earlier, it could have prevented her from carrying a psychological burden for a long time and could have prevented the events that unfolded.
