Chapter 252

With Finley gone, Stella felt the weight in her heart finally lift.

However, Finley, in his infinite wisdom, decided to turn back to Ronald and ask, "Anything else feeling off with you?"

Stella could only think, "Great, the rock's been put back in place."

At this moment, she was seriously considering whether it would be possible to unscrew Finley's head from his shoulders.

"What else could he possibly feel? I've already given him some meds."

Her tone was sharp, as if she might physically attack Finley if he uttered another word.

Undeterred, Finley responded, "Come on, I'm a doctor. Isn't it my job to ask? That's no ordinary medicine. There could be side effects. What's the harm in asking?" Stella sighed deeply.
