After hearing Matthew’s grim revelation, Miley staggered, relying on Flossie for support as she gasped for air.
“A critical condition notice?” Her voice quivered with fear.
“How can this be so serious? Wasn’t it just a car accident?”
Matthew’s face darkened further, but he said nothing.
Flossie gazed intently at the operating room, drowning in guilt.
“This is all my fault. If I hadn’t let Stella take the wheel, none of this would have happened.”
“Stop blaming yourself. I can’t believe Stella would just randomly crash,” Miley countered, inhaling deeply and balling her hands into fists.
“Someone must have set her up deliberately. Who did she meet today?”

He issued a set of succinct orders before returning to his post near the operating room, immersed in thought.
In her last call to him, Stella had mentioned brake failure. Coupled with her meeting Dulce earlier, Matthew narrowed his prime suspects to Dulce and Stevie.
Now, he needed to not only unearth the truth behind the car accident but also keep the incident confidential, sparing their elderly relatives unnecessary anguish Clutching his phone, Matthew frowned deeply.
He had engaged the top surgeons in Seamarsh, and he refused to accept that they couldn’t snatch Stella back from the jaws of death.
Whatever the cost, Stella must survive.
