When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2097

Eventually, Matthew found Stella.

She was covered in blood, lying motionless on the ground.

He stopped in his tracks, his expression frozen in shock, and his eyes lingered on her for a long moment.

He walked over to Stella, gently lifting her into his arms.

Even with her in his arms, he couldn’t feel at ease.

It wasn’t until he felt her faint heartbeat that he finally felt a sense of relief.

When Bennett saw Matthew approaching with Stella cradled in his arms, he felt a strong urge to move closer.

“How is she?”

The deep concern in his eyes was unmistakable.

Matthew shot him a cold, piercing look before positioning himself to block Bennett’s view.

“Get out of my way,” he said sharply.

He brushed past Bennett and made his way to the car, holding Stella close.

Once inside the car, Matthew couldn’t bring himself to set Stella down.
