Love at the Next Stop

Chapter 68 Wait For Me to Return

Then, Lisa replied, ‘Hey, the two of them were never together, so there’s nothing to speak of. What’s there to hide? There were no rumors at all, okay? But I’ve clocked President Grant’s careful protection of you. He’s afraid that you’ll suffer even the slightest hurt.’

Hmm? Is that really the case? A burst of delight flooded Stella, and she sent Miles a message later. ‘Thank you for the flowers.’

The reply from the other end read, ‘Do you like them?’

‘Very much so.’ After typing this, Stella added, ‘I love them.’ In actual fact, she probably loved Lisa’s remark more.

When she was basking in bliss, her cell phone rang. It turned out to be a call from the hospital; she was told that Lizbeth had an adverse reaction after a certain injection, so they were asking her to come over in case anything happened. Thus, she quickly took the day off from her superior and rushed over.

In truth, it actually made no difference whether she asked for leave considering her status now. After all, everyone in the corporate world was shrewd and knew that they couldn’t offend her when she now had such a venerable status. Of course, they gossiped behind her back, but no one dared say anything negative about her.

Stella went to the hospital, and unexpectedly, Zane was there as well with two people behind him, probably plainclothes police officers. He leaned close to Lizbeth’s bed, muttering that he was unfilial and the like, saying that he’d committed too many mistakes in his life and hoped that she’d forgive him. Standing behind him, Stella patted him on the shoulder.

Zane gazed at her with a complicated look in his eyes. “Thank you, Stella!” he murmured. He’d never spoken to her so amicably; in the past, every single word out of his mouth ripped her into shreds, so she found it rather unusual.

The doctor then said that Lizbeth’s adverse reaction had passed, and there wasn’t much of a problem, but the cost of chemotherapy for the next course of treatment was due again. At this, Stella said, “I’ll go and pay.” Then, she went downstairs to the payment counter and paid another 30,000.

When she returned upstairs, she saw Zane sitting in the corridor of the hospital with his hands in his hair, looking extremely tortured. Even if this is karma, I think he has paid enough, what with him going bankrupt, his mother suffering from a grave illness, and creditors chasing after him for payment… He’s quite pitiful. “I’ve already paid Lizbeth’s treatment cost, so don’t worry about money,” she said as she stood before him.

After a moment’s hesitation, Zane asked, “Is it from him?”

Stella nodded in response.

Miles Grant because of money, but it’s now a reality. Nonetheless, I can’t do anything about it because we’re already divorced. All of a sudden, Zane dropped to his knees before her with a thud. “Stella, I’ve truly wronged you in the past, yet you took care of me and my mother wholeheartedly. Despite our mistreatment of you in the past, you didn’t take offense and took care of my mother as though she’s your own mother. If it were another woman, she would’ve taken to the hills long ago.
