Chapter 986 Stella appeared calm and composed, but her back was soaked with cold sweat.

“Mom?” she asked while resolutely putting on a calm facade, perhaps because she was hiding something.” What‘s

wrong?”

“Nothing...” answered Wendy with a shake of her head. Stella‘s voice brought her senses back.

Sure that Stella must‘ve not known about how poisonous the oleanders were, she tried to warn her.

“That plant over there...”

Crash!

Before she could finish, a loud noise coming from the window interrupted her.

The two women jumped in fright. They hurried to where the noise came from and saw a black figure crashing into

the room from outside. The window had been broken in, and the floor was littered with shards of shattered glass

“Careful!”

Stella‘s split–second response managed to stop Wendy from getting hit by the flying glass.

Wendy was so spooked that her face turned white as a

sheet. She stood motionless and stared at the figure lying on the floor. “What... What on earth is going on here...?”

she asked in a daze.

There was a gaping hole in the windowpane that brought a biting chill into the room as a gust of wind blew in.

As soon as Stella regained her senses, she quickly called out for the bodyguards. “I think he‘s one of the workers

outside,” she told Wendy, trying to calm her down. “He probably fell in accidentally.”

Stella noticed that the person wore a work uniform while holding a wrench, so she assumed he must be one of the

maintenance workers.

“Are you okay?” she asked him.

The man moved slightly and groaned before answering.“ I‘m... I‘m so sorry...”

He slowly propped himself up, revealing his large plump face.

“I‘m here to repair the air conditioner,” he explained. “I was installing an overhead unit when I slipped and fell. I

was only hanging on a steel wire, and I had no choice but to break the glass window and lunge in...

The man went on to apologize profusely. There were still bloodstains on his face from being cut by the glass. He

picked up his peaked cap on the floor with shaking hands,

all the while apologizing.

Seeing this, Wendy frowned but finally calmed down. “That‘s enough...” she said, but before she could continue,

she had to catch a breath when she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Stella noticed that the man was swaying slightly as he stood, so she asked in a gentle voice, “Are you hurt?” “No,

no...”

The man waved his hands, still looking terrified.

“I‘m fine...” he reassured her. “I really didn‘t mean to break in through the window like that. I‘m really sorry. I‘ll... I‘ll

pay for the damages...

Stella walked to the window and glanced at the broken glass pieces before saying, “You were here for repairs.

Accidents happen. Make sure you don‘t slip again, and be more careful. Nothing‘s more important than safety.”

“I—I’ll be more careful...”

The man did not expect Stella to treat him so kindly. He kept glancing at her several times, but he didn‘t dare to

look at her directly.

With his head hung low and his eyes darting around frantically , the hands that he kept behind his back still

trembled.

Wendy was already resting on the sofa as they waited for

the bodyguards to come and handle everything. Suddenly, her face turned terrifyingly pale. She grasped at Stella,

who was beside her, and said, “Stella , get my medicine...”

Stella turned around and noticed Wendy‘s blanched face. Beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, and her

breathing was short and unsteady, as if she was getting out of breath

“Mom, what‘s wrong?!”

“Quick... grab my medicine!”

Wendy breathed laboriously. Her face slowly turned from white to blue, and her lips trembled. She seemed to be in

a lot of pain. At first, she was still holding onto Stella‘s arm tightly, but now her grip was loosening...

“Mom!” Stella was starting to panic. “Are you okay? Where is the medicine?!”

She guessed that Wendy was probably suffering from some underlying disease, so she began searching her body

for the medicine.

Wendy pointed at the coffee table.

Stella instantly understood her meaning, so she rushed towards the coffee table and grabbed Wendy‘s bag. She

reached inside and took out a white medicine bottle.

“How many do you need?” she asked.

She speedily obtained a glass of water and placed it near Wendy‘s mouth before feeding her the medicine as

instructed.
