Noticing the wound on Elaine’s face, Stella said to her, Go to the lounge to change your clothes. I will
take you to the hospital to have a check-up.”
Elaine shook her head, “No need. My uncle took me to see a doctor on the way back here. It’s just that
my skin was scratched. There won’t be any problem.”
”Okay. Go change your clothes.”
When Elaine walked into the lounge, Stella walked out of the studio, preparing to go to the pharmacy to
buy some disinfectants.”
Sherry decided to go out with her.
Stella was absent-minded on the way there.
Sherry asked in a low voice, “Stella, what’s wrong with you?”
Stella paused and then pulled herself together, “Nothing.”
”Are you thinking of Elaine’s uncle? I also thought him weird. He appeared out of the thin air. What
does he want to do? What do you think of it?”
Stella heaved a long sigh and then said, “He said he came to City N as he heard of the things that
happened in Riverside several days ago, which means that his target is Clarence.”
“Oh, I didn’t think of this,” said Sherry.
“Riverside is in a messy condition now. I think all the members of the James family are weird. But he
left Riverside ten years ago, so I’m not certain about it.”
Stella suddenly paused and then added, “Sherry, wait a minute. I will make a call first.
Sherry nodded her head, “Okay.”
Stella took out her phone, walked to the roadside and then dialled Archer.
Only when the ringtone was about to come to an end did Archer answer the call.
Stella asked, “Are you busy now?”
“Not that busy. Let’s video and you can have a look at your son.”
“Don’t bother. This is not the reason why I call you.”
“Then…”
Stella continued, “I want to ask you a question. Do you know Caesar James, Elaine’s second uncle?”
Archer remained silent for a long while. Maybe it was because he never expected to hear this name
from Stella.
Archer then replied, “I know him. What happened?”
“Elaine told me that he died ten years ago, but now he appears in City N.”
Stella then narrated what happened today concisely.
At the other end of the phone, Archer was a bit stupefied. He asked in shock, “Wait, do you mean that
Caesar is still alive. He came to City N and coincidentally met Elaine?”
Stella replied, “That’s true. So I want to ask you about Caesar’s information.”
“Actually I’m not that clear about his information either. I also heard that he has died. Ever since that,
the members of the James family didn’t dare to mention him again. I guess this has something to do
with the fact that he has left the James family.”
“Does Darnell know about it?”
“I guess he knows more than me. I will ask him about this and contact you as soon as there’s any
news.”
“Okay.”
Stella stood on the spot after ending the call. After a while, she came back to find Sherry and they
walked into a pharmacy.
They then came back to the studio. Elaine had changed her clothes and was washing her face when
they stepped into the studio.
Stella asked her to come to her office. She took out a medicine kit, picked up a bottle of disinfectant
fluid and a cotton swab, and then helped Elaine deal with the wound on her face.
Elaine fringed due to the pain.
Stella comforted her in a gentle voice, “Hold on. It will be done soon.”
Elaine became obedient and didn’t move again.
Stella continued, “Be careful when you go out next time. Yell for help if you encounter any bad guys.
Clarence has sent some men to protect you and they will know it immediately if you are in danger.”
By the way, she should ask Maxwell about what happened today later. Generally speaking, as they
were following Elaine, Elaine shouldn’t have encountered any dander.
“I see.”
After dealing with Elaine’s wound, Stella threw the cotton swab into a trash can and said, “Well, I will
send you back.”
“But I’m still at work.”
“It doesn’t matter. You can have free leave today. Go back and have a rest.”
Elaine became upset, “Stella, do you think that I’m so useless? I can’t help you, and even bring
troubles for you.”
Stella chuckled and rubbed her head, “You’re so cute, so why do you think you’re useless? What
happened today is just an accident. You have done a good job in the studio in the past several days,
right?”
Elaine remained silent with her head lowered. Indeed, she was quite satisfied with her performance in
the past two days too.
Expect her performance today…
After a short while, Elaine broke the silence, “Then I will go back myself. I know how to go back.”
Stella pondered for a while and then lightly nodded her head, “Okay. Send me a message when you
arrive home.”
“Okay.”
Stella sent Elaine to the door of her studio and watched her leave. Then she walked to the roadside
and found Maxwell’s car.
Maxwell got out of the call soon, “Ms. Radomil.”
Stella asked, “Do you know what happened just now.”
Maxwell nodded his head, “The men we arranged had been following Ms. James. It just happened that
they didn’t follow her when she crossed the road due to the traffic light. When they found her, they
found someone had saved her. As he seemed to be Ms. James’ acquaintance, they didn’t walk over.”
Stella nodded her head and explained, “That man is Caesar James, Elaine’s second uncle. According
to his words, he came to City N several days ago. I think his target is Clarence. Please investigate this.”
Maxwell was stunned. He then replied, “Okay.”
“Elaine comes back. Tell the men following her to pay more attention. What happened today should not
happen again.”
“Ms. Radomil, please rest assured. I’ve instructed them.”
Stella then came back to her office. When she just sat down, Sherry walked over, “Is Elaine back?”
“Yep. She had left.”
“I guess she must be frightened today. She should go back and have a rest to relieve her scare.”
Sherry added, “Well, go on with your drawing, and I will not bother you. I will go out to see what I can
help.”
After Sherry’s leaving, Stella leaned against the chair, rubbed her temples, took out her phone and
studied the photos about the baby that were sent by Archer recently.
In the photo, it was so obvious that the baby had become healthier, fatter and higher.
Stella studied them one by one and found her mood gradually improved.
After a short while, Stella regained her energy. She picked up the pencil and continued with the
drawing.
About half an hour later, Elaine sent her a message, telling her that she was home.
Stella replied to the message and then put her phone aside.
When she lifted her head again, it was already dark and it was drizzling outside.
Stella tidied up her things and walked out of the office. Sherry, who felt very boring and was reading a
magazine lazily on the sofa, turned around when she heard the noise, “Stella, are you done? They’ve
gotten out of the work, and I didn’t interrupt you since you were concentrating on your work.”
Stella said, “Let’s go.”
Just as they walked out of the office, Stella’s phone rang. It was a call from Archer.
Stella gestured Sherry to wait a minute, and then answered the call.
Archer said, “I roughly know what’s going on. But the condition is a bit complicated. Is it convenient for
you to talk now?”
