Chapter 382 Stella was taken aback, having never seen Weston looking like that.

In the past, his rare bouts of illness would merely inflict slight colds upon him that would go away the

next day. During their marriage, Stella had only ever seen him get sick once, but just that once was

enough to make her feel as if the sky had fallen on her.

She stayed by his side and waited on him hand and foot. She would‘ve chosen sickness in his place if

she could. Her mind was so fully occupied by him that she couldn‘t do anything else, except take care

of him.

Weston‘s expressions changed slightly. He seemed to be remembering the same thing too. “Please

stay by my side, okay?” he begged. It was not at all like Weston to have those imploring eyes. “I...”

Stella wavered. “I’ll call for Joan to take care of you.” As soon as she finished her sentence, she saw

the light in Weston‘s eyes diminish. He closed his eyes and then in a jiffy, his old distant and aloof

personality returned. “Okay,” he answered her briefly in a low, hoarse voice. The abrupt regression to

his old self unsettled Stella for some reason. “I‘ll stay home all day,” she told him while avoiding his

direct gaze. “I‘ll be in the study, reading my script. If you need anything, you can call for Joan.” She

then rushed out of the room. Weston‘s eyes followed her until she closed the door behind her.

He remembered being sick once when they were still married. It was only a slight cold back then, far

less serious than what he was going through now. In fact, he didn‘t even feel ill at all. It was Stella‘s

keen eyes that noticed he looked a little off, so she insisted on taking his temperature.

He didn‘t know how lucky he was back then. Not only that, he even found Stella‘s concern irritating.

Since it was only a cold, he thought she was overreacting and turning it into a big deal. How annoying!

But he didn‘t make any objections. He just let her do whatever he wanted, touching and checking his

body here and there, taking his temperature again and again, and even trying to cool his body down

with an ice pack. Then she‘d cover his body with a thick blanket and give him a bowl of chicken soup

so he could keep warm. All that and more for a simple cold.

Weston had never been treated this way before. Or rather, he had only been waited on in such a way

by the servants, and rarely ever received such tender care even from his own parents.

From the outside, he appeared to have a perfect family with perfectly loving parents. The funny thing

was, Weston used to think so too..

However, he now realized that he had never actually had a real taste of tender love and care. He used

to think that because he could have anything he desired in this world–all the money, resources, and

status that many people could only ever dream of ––simple and basic things like genuine love and

connection with his family became so insignificant in comparison that he was unable to feel or

appreciate them.

He continued to believe in that until he married Stella. Only then did he start to re–examine his life. He

started to ask himself: had there ever been anyone in this world who was so tough that they didn‘t

require love? Even now, he had no answer to that question.

Meanwhile, Stella devoted all her attention to the script to distract herself from all those messy feelings

that cluttered her mind. Lately, the film crew had been hit with hurdle after hurdle, and Stella could hear

the frustration in Bradley‘s voice when they spoke on the phone. Although she didn‘t cause any of the

problems they were facing, the entire saga still made her extremely anxious. Bradley‘s patience had

been wearing thin thanks to Guinevere breaking one promise after another, and now, the filming was

hampered further by the bad weather. There was a high chance that they might have to rush through

the filming process to catch up to the deadline. Thus, determined not to cause any more delays due to

her personal problems, Stella had to make sure that she was a hundred percent prepared before

filming was recommenced
