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.
