Chapter 103 He Feared Her Rejection

“I’ll be prescribing a month’s worth of medicine for you, which you’ll have to take on time. Aside from that, you aren’t allowed to have sex within the month.” The doctor, an old lady who was around sixty years of age, told Stella while writing down the prescription.

Hearing that, Stella turned to look at Miles with a plain and simple look. Hear that? Doctor’s orders.

Miles glanced at her unhappily before landing his eyes on the prescription. After that, they went to the medical department to have her checked for the coughing. It wasn’t that serious, so she would be cured in a matter of days as long as she took care of herself. After that, the doctor also gave her prescriptions of multiple medicine. The heaps of medicinal herbs used in traditional medicine took up a lot more space compared to modern medicine, so Matthew’s house was filled up by all the herbs that Stella brought with her when she got back.

“Do you know how to prepare your own medicine? I can send someone to help if you don’t know how to do that,” Miles offered.

“I know how to do that. I used to prepare my mother’s medicine, so this is a piece of cake. Instead, you should resume working. I’ll be fine on my own.”

As soon as she said that, Miles’ phone rang, which elicited from him a frown.

“You should go. I’ll be fine,” Stella reassured him.

Miles hired an hourly worker to take care of Stella’s needs before rushing back to Murdough. She caught a glimpse of anxiety on his expression, but she didn’t know what happened. However, she didn’t pry, as she knew she wouldn’t be of much help.

When she was drinking her medicine, Adele sent her a text. ‘How do you expect Miles to support a sickly lass like you? Aren’t you just a liability to him?’ While reading the text, which didn’t seem at all befitting for Adele’s status as a family elder, she figured that Adele couldn’t have possibly brought Miles up into who he was.

The more she knew about Miles, the more she thought him incompatible with Adele. Like mother, like son, and it was a common assumption that the son would still resemble the mother in some aspects even though they might differ in others. Yet, Stella didn’t think that was the case at all when it came to Adele and Miles. She didn’t reply to Adele’s text. Nothing she said would improve the situation, for Adele was prejudiced. Therefore, she didn’t bother doing that.

On the other hand, Adele sent a text to Miles in frustration. ‘Stella’s not showing me any respect, which equates to being disrespectful toward you!’
