Stella snuggled comfortably into Ronald's warm embrace, finally closing her eyes. Clinging to him felt a lot safer than keeping her distance.

Ronald chuckled softly, sensing her thoughts. "Star."

Enzo, sensing Hull's irritation, felt his heart lurched and dared not press further. "Alright, right away."

He hung up and immediately called the team doctor, urging him to get to Hull's villa pronto.

After making the call, Enzo realized something was off. "I need to head over to the boss's place."
