Mr Conrad Proposes to His Ex wife Again

“Just one bite.”

“Not even half a bite.”

Stella pouted, “Great. Go away then.”

Stella left the unfinished porridge and vegetables aside and laid on the bed again. She covered herself with a blanket and tried to filter out the aroma of Clarence’s food.

After a while, a doctor and a nurse came in to do a check-up for Stella. The doctor said it was nothing big and that Stella might be overstressed and experiencing anxiety, so she fainted after a shock. Stella only needed to rest up a few days, and she’ll recover.

Stella asked, “When can I discharge from the hospital then?”

“Um…”

Clarence’s voice rose, “Half a month.”

Stella was shocked, “I fainted. I didn’t break my leg. What do I need to stay in the hospital for so long?”

The doctor coughed lightly, “Based on your condition, it wasn’t anything big, but you shouldn’t be overstressed. People and everything outside might affect your condition. So I would suggest you stay in the hospital for half a month. Wait until you’re recovered, then we’ll discharge you.”

The doctor quickly continued before Stella had the chance to reject, “So, we’ll leave now. Ring the bell if you need anything.”

Then, the doctor and the nurse quickly left the room.

Stella didn’t even have the chance to voice out her opinion.

After the door was closed, Clarence said, “You’ve heard what the doctor said. Now, go to sleep.”

Stella looked at Clarence and said carefully, “The doctor was giving suggestion. I can ignore a suggestion.”

Clarence raised his brows and pouted.

Stella knew Clarence wouldn’t have anything nice to say with this look. Stella quickly pulled the blanket over and closed her eyes, “Alright, I’ll sleep now. We’ll talk later.”

Clarence didn’t reply to Stella.

Stella was exhausted. She felt weak and tired, so she fell asleep quickly after closing her eyes.

After a while, Stella felt like somebody hugged her from the back.

Perhaps Clarence and Stella used to living together. Stella didn’t feel uncomfortable at all, even if they were in the hospital ward. Instead, she turned around and hid in Clarence’s arms like how she used to be.

Clarence hugged Stella’s waist and rested his chin on Stella’s head. The coldness in his eyes slowly faded away.

Stella never planned to tell Clarence what happened today.

Clarence didn’t dare to imagine what could happen if he wasn’t there, and Stella fainted.

Clarence became angry again when that idea came into his mind. Looking at Stella’s slumbered face, Clarence lowered his head and bit Stella’s lips and left a light mark on her lips.

Stella felt a sharp pain. She waved her hand, hoping Clarence would leave her alone. However, Clarence returned to his previous position earlier than that and continued to hug Stella in his arms.

It was better for Stella to stay in the hospital after what happened.

It could avoid bad things from happening to Stella to the utmost extent.

In the police station.

It was already 11 o’clock at night after everything was done.

Jeffrey was an escaped criminal who faked his death, and he should be serving his sentence by now. So, he got locked up right away after the police arrested him. He will only be brought to the court when there was new progress on the hidden-body case.

Jeffrey was still cursing Channing when he got arrested by the police. He said Channing was his son, and Channing was never going to escape from him his entire life.

Channing remained expressionless and silent the whole process.

After walking out of the police station, Sherry said, “Channing, he is a crazy man, and all he said was bullshit. Don’t take any of his words seriously.”

Channing was deep in thought. After hearing what Sherry said, he nodded and replied, “Alright.”

Sherry wanted to continue consoling Channing, but she didn’t know what else to say.

It was a non-effective consoling process.

Luckily Daniel said something to Channing, “It’s getting late. Let’s send you back to school.”

Channing said, “Don’t bother. It’s closed.”

“Then stay at my place?”

“Nah.”

Sherry asked, “Then where are you staying tonight?”

Channing replied, “Don’t worry about me. I have a place to go.”

“No, I have to get you to a safe place before I leave, or else I didn’t know how to explain to your sister,” Sherry tried to guilt-trip Channing, “Furthermore, your sister is in the hospital right now. You wouldn’t want her to worry about you while she is in the hospital, am I right?”

Channing frowned and remained silent after Sherry brought up Stella’s name.

Daniel added, “Alright, you go and stay at my house for tonight. After all, I won’t be there tonight. No one would disturb you.”

Sherry felt like something wasn’t right. She looked at Daniel.

Sherry realized Daniel was looking at her as well.

Sherry was speechless.

She was jinxed.

Was Daniel going to follow her home?

Sherry ignored Daniel and told Channing, “You could stay in a hotel if you want.”

Channing replied after a long pause, “I’m going to the hospital.”

Sherry said, “Clarence should be staying with your sister right now. Aren’t you afraid that he would scold you?”
