Chapter 1312Chapter 1312
“How are you feeling?” Yvonne smiled and asked Stella as she tried her best to keep her composure.
“Much better,” Stella nodded. “My eyes are still a little
sensitive to light, though, and it feels uncomfortable sometimes.”
Seeing that Yvonne’s husband had come along, she invited the two to take a seat.
It had been a long time since she last saw the world so clearly. She had been missing this feeling for
ages now. Delighted at the return of her sight, she fixated her gaze
on Yvonne.
“If you keep on staring at my wife like that,” Lucas
interjected, blocking her sight all of a sudden, “I’ll suspect that you’ve become a lesbian.”
“So what?” Stella raised her brows. “Perhaps if I do decide to pursue your wife now, she might even
prefer me
over you.”
Lucas knitted his brows. Though he knew that she was only teasing, he was still unamused by that kind
of joke. To him, Yvonne was his and his only, and it had been that
way since they were children. She had always followed him around, completely in love with him and no
one else. He was sure that nothing could ever change that.
But Yvonne still played along with Stella and replied with a smile, “That’s right. Maybe I’m done putting
up with your rotten temper and started to like women. What’s wrong with that?”“Why don’t you try and see what happens?” Lucas warned, glaring at her severely.
Seeing that Lucas was really starting to get angry, Stella quickly changed the subject and asked, “Was
Weston hurt? I asked, but he wouldn’t tell me.”
Only then did Lucas look away from his wife to sweep a cool glance at Stella. “Don’t worry. He won’t die.”
“Why are you acting so weird?” asked Yvonne, pinching his waist. “Stella asked you a question. Why
can’t you just give her a straight answer?”
“Are you my wife or hers?” argued Lucas, still upset and moping about what just happened. “How can
you defend someone else instead of your own husband?”
Stella was beginning to suspect that these two were visiting her because it gave an excuse for them to
display
their mushy affection for each other.
She also had no idea why the couple still acted as if they were a young lovesick teenage couple with
their
ridiculous lovers‘ quarrel when in fact, the two had been with each other for so many years.
Stella coughed lightly. Hearing this, Yvonne suddenly pulled herself away from Lucas.
“I’m glad that you can see now,” Yvonne said. “But do you still feel any discomfort?”
“No,” Stella replied. “All thanks to your husband for taking such good care of me all this time.”
“You don’t have to thank him. He’s only doing his job.
He’s my husband, after all, so it’s only right that he makes himself useful.”Stella had no idea what to say to that.

Lucas glanced at her furtively and stood up, saying, Since you’ve seen her, I’m sure we can leave now,
right?”
As he spoke, he pulled Yvonne up to her feet. She initially thought he would leave alone, but to her
surprise, he was also trying to drag her away.
“But I’m not done chatting with Stella!” she protested.
“What else do you have to talk about? You can always meet her anytime.”
It was clear that Lucas was extremely possessive of Yvonne from the way he tried to stop her from
spending
too much time with a friend, even if it was alone with
another woman.
Stella sighed, oblivious if it was a good or bad sign.
Yvonne had no choice but to leave with her husband since
he was adamant about dragging her away with him, but before they left, she clung to the door frame and
told Stella, “I’ll visit you again soon, but meanwhile, call Angelina to keep you company, okay?”
Stella nodded.
