After hanging up the phone, Stella felt her temples were popping. Her heart was racing as if it would jump out of her chest.

She tried to calm herself down. Then she dialed Sherry’s phone.

Sherry was taking photos of models. She swiped to answer the call. “Yes, Stella? What’s up?”

Stella asked, “Are you in the studio?”

“Yes, I am. I’m quite busy now. I'll call you back later.”

Stella said, “Sherry, listen. Something happened in Riverside City. I’m not certain if those people have the plan to carry on in City N. I’ve asked Chan to find you all. You must be careful in the following few days.”

Sherry was taken aback. She nodded subconsciously, “Oh, I see. Okay. I’ll go find Elaine right after shooting.”

“Okay. Call me if you need any help.”

Putting away her phone, Stella took a deep breath.

Although she might have been oversensitive, she could tell how ruthless those people were because they had killed several elders in Riverside City in just one night.

Hence, Stella must guarantee the safety of her family and friends.

She tried to call Archer and Dolores again, but their phones were still powered off.

Stella heard a weak voice from the bed when she was about to walk out of the ward. “Stella...”

At first, she thought she had misheard.

Then William called her again, “Stella...”

Stella hurried to the bed, only to find that William had opened his eyes. However, his eyes had no focus yet. Raising his hand, he seemed to be trying to grab something.

Stella bent over and held his hand. She said between sobs, “I’m here.”

William stared at the ceiling for a while. Then his eyes finally got the focus. He tilted his head to look at her with a weak smile. “Dad is here. Don’t be afraid,” he whispered.

Upon hearing it, Stella couldn’t hold back her emotion any longer. Fear and the unknown horror surged in her heart. She burst into tears.

William tried hard to raise another hand, patting her on the head. He comforted her, “It’s alright.”
