Stella did not know how long it had been. She gradually stopped crying, and began to whimper.

After she cried out loud, she calmed down a lot.

Stella understood that it was useless to regret at this time.

All she could do was to pray that William would overcome this safely.

After Stella settled her mind, Clarence said, “Stay here. I'll go out and take a look.”

Stella's eyes were red, and she nodded, “Okay.”

After Clarence left, Stella looked at the glass wall not far away and nipped her lower lip.

After a while, she took out her phone.

The last chat message from Sherry was on the day before yesterday. Sherry said that Elaine accompanied her to the prenatal care checkup, and the doctor said that her baby was healthy.

Stella couldn't break the news to her.

She put down her phone and leaned against the wall.

A few seconds later, it suddenly occurred to Stella that Emmett had called her a week ago.

Stella got up, went to the corridor, and made a call to Emmett.

Emmett's voice came through the other end after ringing for a long time, “Stella.”

Stella said, “When you called me a week ago, were you going to tell me about Daniel's disappearance?”

Emmett paused at the other end of the phone, “You knew all about it? I wanted to discuss with you about whether to tell Sherry first, but then I thought about it and decided not to.”

Stella said, “I'm in London now.”

“Then...you saw William too? How is he doing now?”

“He's still not out of the woods.”

Emmett said, “I can't go there right now. Let me know if anything happens.”

Stella nodded gently, “Okay.”

She hung up the call and slowly crouched down against the wall.

After a long time, Clarence came back to her, got down on one knee, and stroked her head, “Why are you out?”
