Chapter 322 322: I believe we should get used to it

Stefan had just exited the bedroom when he observed Ella leave Mischelle's room.

"How is she?" he said right away, drawing her attention.

The sight in her eyes piqued his interest, and he instantly approached her side.

"Her fever has lowered. I made her eat porridge and medicines. So I believe she's resting by now," Ella said, distressed. It was obvious that she was furious over something.

"Did you ask Mischelle anything?" Stefan questioned, only to observe her pinching the bridge of her nose.

"I tried, but she declined to talk about it, claiming it was just exertion," Ella weakly stated as she moved past Stefan to the couch.

Ella took a seat and leaned back, her head resting on the headrest and her eyes closed. Stefan joined her after seeing how upset she was.

"Then I assumed it was the reason she got sick. You do realize your mother likes to do tasks in her leisure time, and since she's been here, all I've seen is her doing something," Stefan reasoned, but Ella refused to accept.

"That is not conceivable, Stefan, because I heard her call Jedrick's name in her sleep. She was having such nightmares again after a long time, and I'm concerned that her abrupt fall in health is due to that man." Ella confidently stated, "Something happened, or she wouldn't be stressing so much."

Of course, she knew her mother as well as she knew herself, and she was not going to fall for her falsehood.

"She may prefer to keep it to herself for now. But I am confident I will find out what happened to her." Stefan continued to stare at Ella's determination.

"If you say so, then do whatever you want, but I'll be with you," he said, pulling her attention to him.

Hearing his words, her heart instantly relaxed, and she scooted in to hug him.

"Who else would I look for besides you? I made a mistake by pushing you before, but not now. Only you keep me sane. So there is no way I will trust myself in your absence."

Stefan chuckled and embraced her tightly. "So, in my company, would you mind having breakfast? You didn't eat anything last night," he observed, and she pulled back slightly.

Ella was starving and skipped dinner last night, despite Stefan bringing them takeout. She continued to help her mother till she fell asleep. But it was another day, and in order to keep going they needed to eat.
