Stella nodded gently. "So we thought that if Justin had gone this far, he would want to do more than just
use Adolph for Modesty."
"The other day, when Justin called you..."
Stella smiled weakly and lowered her eyes. "He's ready to kill us all, and he wouldn't spare me."
They knew Justin would try to blackmail her into going to the party.
If Stella hadn't gone, Justin would have had other plans, and it would have been better for their next plan
and let Justin believe that he had things under control.
So, at her insistence, Clarence arranged for Adolph to sneak onto the cruise ship and secure Justin's
room.
Sherry felt a tingle when she thought about it and added, "But the other day, after Justin called you, I saw
your reaction, and it didn't seem fake. Noah..."
Stella said, "Clarence really didn't tell me about Noah's poisoning."
To this day, she did take it in stride.
What was the point? Noah was not going to get better any faster even if she was in a hurry.
It's Justin's way of getting under her skin.
After a while, the doctor came and gave Stella the same advice after her examination, "Take a good rest
these days, if there is no need and it is better not to get out of bed."
Sherry nodded. "I'll make sure she's taken care of."
After the Doctor left, Sherry looked at the time and said, "Stella, would you like some fruit?"
Stella shook her head and went back to bed. "I'm tired and want to go back to sleep."
"OK." Sherry answered, and then pulled up the quilt for her, "Then you sleep well, I will accompany you
here."
When Stella fell asleep, Sherry looked up and saw a figure outside the door.
She took one look at Stella and slipped out.
Daniel said, "I heard the doctor say that she..."
Sherry gave him a "Shush" sign, pulled the door shut, and pulled him aside for a few steps before she
said, "She just fell asleep. How'd it go with Clarence?"
"He didn't wake up. The Doctor said he lost a lot of blood. It's not good.copy right hot novel pub
Sherry frowned. "What can I do? I'm afraid to tell Stella the truth, she would be so worried.”
Daniel said, "Darnell said Archer would be here tonight."
Sherry exhales and nudges Daniel. "Go ahead; I'm afraid Stella will wake up later. If you hear anything
from Clarence, send me a message."
Daniel looked at the dark circle under her eyes. "You go back to sleep. I'll watch."
“It's okay. I need to stay with Stella. I'll sleep on the couch if I'm tired."
Just as Sherry was about to return to the room, Daniel suddenly took her in his arms and would not let
her go.
Sherry froze and whispered, "What are you doing?"
Daniel held her tighter. "Nothing, I was just thinking, what would you do if it were me in there?"
Sherry said seriously, "Your worries are completely unnecessary. I will move on to the next one
seamlessly.”
Daniel chuckled. "You better."
Only now did he realize what a wonderful and happy thing it was for him to be alive and to hold her like
that.
When Sherry returned to the room, Stella was still asleep, and she exhaled a little, leaned back on the
couch, and yawned. In bed, Stella buries her head under the covers, and tears fell silent into the pillow.
Soon it was getting dark and the night was falling.
Stella slept in a daze, feeling like she was in the middle of a volcano, hot and burning.
Next to her ears was Sherry's urgent voice.
During the mess, a doctor came to check her, take her temperature and change her IV.
She seemed to stay awake, knowing what they were saying and doing, but she couldn't keep her eyes
open.
Just wandering in a chaotic, lightless world.
She didn't know how long it took, but when she was conscious again, it felt like something was holding
her finger, soft and
comfortable.
Stella finally opened her eyes in a daze, and all she could see was a chubby little face.
When he saw Stella woke up, he gave a toothy grin and said, "Mum!"
As Stella tried to sit up, Sherry rushed over, lifted the bed for her, and touched her forehead, "Stella, how
are you, feeling
okay?"
Stella's voice was hoarse, "OK, I... How long have I been asleep?"
“You had a high fever. You slept all day and all night. You scared me to death."
Stella smiled at her. "I'm fine."
Then she looked over at Noah, who was standing next to her, she was confused for a moment.
After a while, she looked up and asked Sherry, "Sherry, am I still dreaming?"
Sherry let out a laugh. "You're really burning up. Your son is here, really. Don't you believe it?"
With that, Sherry reached out and pinched on Noah's smooth and bouncy face.
Noah reached for her hand, pursed his lips, then turned to Stella and told her, "Mommy, bad, bad...
Stella, with a smile on her face, was finally convinced that what she was seeing was real.
She took Noah into her arms and patted him on the back, her nose a little red. "Baby, mommy misses
you so much.”
Noah was soft in her arms, real and warm.
Then the door opened and Dolores came in.
“Stella, you are awake," she said
Stella let go of Noah, sniffed, and wiped the tears from her eyes. "Mom..."
Dolores put the thermos on the nightstand and held the bowl. "I just made you some chicken soup," she
said.
Sherry did not want to disturb the family, just about to leave, Dolores's voice came, "Sherry, you should
also have some, these
days you are here to take care of Stella, thank you."
Sherry stopped and smiled. "There is some for me?"
Dolores handed her the soup. "I made a lot of it, there are plenty?"
“Thank you, Aunty!"
Dolores smiled and went to get Stella some soup.
Stella took the Soup Bowl, it was still hot, and blew on it before she said, "Mom, when did you get back
to City N?"
Dolores took Noah who was next to her, put him in the stroller by the bed, prepared to feed him, and
replied, "We arrived last
night, and you were running a fever, it was good that you are fine now."
Stella said silently, "So... Have you seen Clarence? How is he?"
