Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 19

Facing Yorick's icy stare, Stella quirked an eyebrow, "Did I do something?"

Yorick retorted, "Stella, she's just back to get treated. Why so petty?"

At that, Stella laughed.

"So what I'm petty? Aren't there hospitals abroad? Or no doctors? Or maybe she's broke? Needs you to babysit her and arrange the appointments?" Her rapid-fire questions left Yorick seething, almost choking on his fury.

"The treatment plan from Tegan is crucial for her. You know it right? She's seriously ill, suffering from multiple conditions."

"Well, how unique for having this disease, to be so young and so broken down."

Her tone was dripping with sarcasm and not-so-subtle mockery.

Yorick couldn't stand her snide remarks any longer.

Stella pressed on, "What is it, unhealthy living? Or, is it just her time?"

It was seriously rare to be unusually ill for her age. The mention of "just her time" hit a nerve with Yorick, "Cut the snide attitude. Just call Tegan back."

Yorick was done arguing with Stella and issued a cold command.
