Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath

Chapter 273

Ronald eyed her for a moment before gently touching her forehead to check her temperature. Thankfully, it hadn't risen again.

His eyes softened as he asked, "What could I possibly hide from you?"

"Was Ursula getting kicked out of the hospital your doing?"

If anyone suggested it wasn't Ronald's handiwork, Stella would have laughed.

In a swift motion, Ronald pulled her into his arms, causing Stella to lose her balance and end up sitting on his lap.

"Ow!"

It hurt so much it was almost exhilarating.

Seeing her wince, Ronald asked, "Does it hurt again?"

Stella complained, "Be gentle, will you?"

It really did hurt.

Ronald apologized, "Sorry, I forgot."

"Forgot?" Stella couldn't help but shiver at the thought. How could he forget something like that?

"You better not forget."

Thankfully, he didn't claim to have forgotten about last night's ordeal, or she'd have nowhere to turn for justice, no way to hold him accountable. Ronald massaged her leg, asking, "Does it hurt here?"

Stella responded, "It's really sore."
