Chapter 277

By the look on Angela's face, it was clear that Lukas had told her about their unexpected encounter. She just didn't expect Stella to drop by.

"I bumped into Lukas yesterday and found out you guys are back in Griffith. I thought I'd come by and see how you're doing."

Angela and Lukas were subletting a room in the house, sharing the living space with Cody and his girl, who occupied the other room.

The small, cramped space was filled to the brim with a hodgepodge of items, leaving little room for much else aside from a bed and a corner for cooking.

Despite feeling under the weather, Angela tidied up and welcomed Stella into their humble abode, "Sorry for the mess. We don't really have a place for visitors."

"No worries, I'm not a stranger," Stella replied, sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"After you guys left, I went with Jasper to Swan Hill Beach. We dabbled in the seafood business for a while. For the past few years, we've been bouncing around Griffith, accepting business when available and studying medical books when not. I heard from Lukas that you haven't been well since the miscarriage. If you don't mind, I could take a look. I've picked up a few things from the books."

Angela looked at her with a bitter smile and a hint of guilt. "I've been a burden to Lukas. He would have been better off without me."

"Don't talk nonsense. You've been together for so long. There's no such thing as being a burden."

"You don't understand, Stella. He has spent so much trying to treat my illness."
