Stella passed the phone to Lucia, taking the opportunity to excuse herself.
“I’ll go get you a glass of water from the kitchen.”
“Yes, please.”
In the kitchen, Stella took a moment to collect herself.
She was about to reach for a thermos when the evening’s earlier incident echoed in her mind. Her gaze fixed on her right hand momentarily, before carefully wrapping her fingers around the thermos handle.

There was a slight tremble, nothing more.
A wave of relief washed over her.
For a fleeting second, she had been genuinely concerned that there was a serious problem with her hand.

“The uproar surrounding Fairwa has certainly stirred the waters.

“Everything has been resolved,” Matthew replied, his tone even.
Waldo regarded him with a grave Look.
Over the years, Matthew had taken the helm of Prosperity Group with an impressive grip, demonstrating remarkable poise. He had surpassed all expectations, and there wasn’t much more Matthew could be taught.
Nevertheless, given the recent events that had inadvertently affected Stella, Waldo felt compelled to caution him.

He nodded with a depth of seriousness that matched the weight of Waldo’s words.
“I am well aware.”
Matthew emerged from the study, ready to escort Stella home.
He told Lucia, “Grandma, Stella has just been discharged from the hospital and she needs proper rest. We’ll come visit you another time.”
Though Lucia wanted Stella to stay a bit longer, the mention of her recent hospitalization meant that she had to yield.
With a heavy heart, she escorted Stella to the door, clasping her hand, and murmured, “Make sure to call me when you find a moment, and don’t overexert yourself. Remember, ample rest is crucial.”
“Okay.” Stella nodded.
