Farris paused, collecting himself before he said slowly, “Today is Mina’s trial.”
Stella was taken aback and instinctively glanced at the calendar on her table.
Previously, after she and Miley had found themselves in a precarious situation at the shopping mall, she had become somewhat watchful of Mina.
However, everything had proceeded smoothly afterward. And amidst her busy life, she had gradually forgotten about Mina’s existence.
She was stunned upon hearing the news.
Regaining composure, Stella replied, “Understood.”
“Stella…” After a brief hesitation, Farris asked, “Mina genuinely regrets her actions this time. She wishes to apologize to you in person. For my sake, could you consider meeting her?”
At this point, Stella couldn’t find a reason to refuse.
They would just have to meet once, and with Farris present, she doubted Mina would attempt anything.
“Okay.” After a brief pause, she added, “For your sake, I’ll see her for the last time.”

“No. We’ll only meet her. I’ll be back soon.” Concerned by Farris’ tired Stella couldn’t but “Have been appearance, help ask, you busy at the hospital lately? As a doctor, you should take care of yourself, or patients will worry about you too.”
With his gaze lowered, Farris tightened his grip on the steering wheel and murmured, “I’ve been trying to assist Mina these days, hoping the court will be lenient in her sentencing.”
Noticing Stella’s surprise, he added, “Even though I dislike Mina, our families have a strong bond. If I can help, I feel I should.”
Stella nodded silently.
Recognizing her stance towards Mina, Farris chose not to pursue the topic. He started the car and drove off.
Throughout their conversation, both avoided discussing Mina.
Approaching a traffic light near the courthouse, Farris stopped at a red signal.
