Stella did not sleep for two hours before she woke up.
Clarence couldn't fall asleep either, and he opened his eyes just as soon as she moved.
Stella turned her head to look at him and said in a low voice, “Did I wake you up? You keep on sleeping. I just...”
Clarence grabbed her by the wrist when she talked halfway.
He dragged her into his arms and muttered in a husky voice, “Are you hungry?”
“No.”
“Then sleep a little longer.”
Stella did not talk again and just quietly reclined on his chest.
Clarence's heartbeat was pounding steadily and powerfully, and it made her feel reassured.
Stella could not help but think that she could still rely on Clarence when she did not know what to do, but what
about Clarence? Who could he rely on?
From the time Noah fell ill to the time when the two of them were lured to Riverside City, knew all the truth, and
returned to City N, Clarence spent almost half of the month dealing with everything of the Conrad Group. He held a
board meeting, took Justin back, and gave up the position of president of the Conrad Group.
These things all happened within the last two or three months.
Except for the night that they knew about the truth, Stella never saw Clarence raise the curtain on his feelings after
that. He bore it all alone and made the decision himself.
The matter had not even come to an end yet. Clarence had been involved in these feuds again because of her.
After a long time, Stella's faint voice sounded, “Clarence.”
The man replied quietly, “Hmm?”
“Thank you.”
Clarence paused, “For what?”
Stella said, “If it isn't for me, you wouldn't have to bother with these things at all.”
Clarence tightened his arms around her waist, “Are you still drowsy and not able to think clearly?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtStella was speechless.
She reached out and pushed him away, “I'm serious. You're supposed to be taking a break after the matter with the
Conrad Group is over, but...”
Clarence said, “You are right to say so, but I think you can replace the word 'thank you' with 'honey' next time, and
I'll be happier with that.”
Dang it.
This man just couldn't quit jesting for over a minute.
Stella got out of his arms, “Alright, get up if you can't fall asleep.”
After saying that, she turned over and got out of bed.
Clarence looked at her, slowly sat up, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly.
When they arrived at the hospital, they saw that it was heavy guarded.
The elevator had just stopped at the top floor when William's assistant hurried out of the ward and said to them,
“Mr. Conrad, Ms. Radomil, Mr. William is out of danger. I was just about to inform you.”
At the word, Stella rushed towards the ward.
William was no longer lying in the intensive care unit like yesterday, and there was no longer a layer of glass in
between.
By standing next to the hospital bed, Stella could see more clearly how badly William was hurt, and he seemed to
be lifeless.
Her eyes were brimmed with tears again when she looked at this.
The assistant and Clarence walked into the ward.
Stella took a deep breath and held back her tears, “Did the doctor say when he would wake up?”
The assistant shook his head, “Not yet, but don't worry, Ms. Radomil, Mr. William will be fine. Twenty years ago, his
situation was much more serious than now, and he came through the crisis as well.”
It was also the past of William that Stella had been deliberately not to ask.
In that explosion, the main target of Lyndon Steward was William, and Lyndon would definitely try to put him to
death.
However, William survived in such a peril. How much pain had he suffered? When Stella thought of it, her heart
ached severely.
Stella could imagine the feeling of the pain penetrating the bones and eroding the veins.
Clarence put his arm around her shoulder, “Since he has over the hump, he'll wake up sooner and later, don't
worry.”
Stella nodded dully. Suddenly something occurred to her and she looked at the assistant, “Where's Aaron? Where's
he now?”
The assistant said, “After Daniel disappeared, Mr. William sent Aaron away, and Aaron is now in a very safe place.”
Hearing that, Stella let out a sigh of relief.
Daniel was the one in the most dangerous situation now.
Meanwhile, in City N, Nathan delivered the last stack of documents to the president's office, “Young Master Justin,
everything's here.”
Justin sat at his desk and smiled faintly at him, “It's been hard for you.”
“It's all that I should do,” Nathan added, “Young Master Justin, if there's nothing else, I...”
Justin wheeled himself to the sofa, picked up the teapot, and said, “No need to rush. I'm dizzy from reading the
documents. Come talk to me.”
Nathan spoke tentatively, “Young Master Justin, any problem?”
“No, you've organized all these very well. I want to have a casual chat with you.”
Nathan stood aside silently.
Justin picked up the cup of tea, held out his hand, and signaled him, “Have a seat.”
Nathan nodded and sat down opposite him.
Justin poured another cup of tea and placed it in front of Nathan, “Have a try. It tastes quite good.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Thank you, Young Master.”
After Nathan finished his tea, Justin said, “Thanks to you all this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't have caught up so
quickly. So I'll give you half a month off to take a good rest.”
Nathan said, “You're welcome, Young Master. It's all credited to Mr. Conrad. Since you have now gotten into the
swing of the business of the Conrad Group, I...”
Justin refilled the empty cup with tea and said with a smile, “You've been in the Conrad Group for so many years
and have helped Clarence solve a lot of troubles. You deserve better based on your ability. However, you can see
that I'm new to the Conrad Group, and there are many things I'm not familiar with yet, so I still have to trouble you
for a while.”
Nathan probably did not expect Justin to say this and was stunned for a while, “Young Master, I...”
Justin added, “The position of vice president of the Conrad Group is still vacant now, and I believe that you are
competent enough to fill it. On top of that, I'll give you five percent of the dividends on shares. In the future, you
don't have to deal with the chores such as files delivery, and you only have to do your share of the work. What do
you think?”
Nathan got up immediately, and Justin smiled, “Don't be nervous, you've been working here for so long, so you
deserve all this.”
“Thank you for your kindness, Younger Master Justin. It's just that I plan to take a break for a while after working for
such a long time. As for the position of vice president, you should reserve it for someone more capable.”
“In my heart, no one is more suitable for this position than you. I know it's been hard for you. So how about this.
How about I extend the leave to a month for you?”
“Young Master...”
“Don't rush to reject me first. Go back and think about it. I'll reserve the position of vice president for you forever,”
Justin added, “Of course, if you leave because you don't want to work for me, then I won't stop
you.”
