When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2131

“Really? Will Matthew really be okay?” Stella’s voice broke through her tears, hoarse and tinged with a fragile thread of hope.

Miley’s heart ached at the sound; she too was frightened, too choked up to offer any assurance.

Just then, Stella’s phone erupted into a shrill ring.

With trembling hands, she retrieved it from her bag.

Her face briefly lit up with hope, but upon seeing Bennett’s name, her expression fell once again.

She answered the call, her face a mask of strained neutrality.

Bennett’s voice, tinged with uncertainty, came through.

“Have you heard from Matthew? Is he safe?”

“I don’t know,” Stella sobbed, the weight of her uncertainty crushing.

Bennett’s tone shifted to urgency.

“Sanford knows someone in Sothrea.

I’ve asked him to help us find out more.

Don’t lose hope yet.
