Chapter 197

At the hospital, Yoel had regained consciousness.

“Are you still feeling dizzy? Stella asked him.

She had returned from the doctor with his medical report According to the doctor, Yoel had a mild

concussion but was otherwise fine

“A little.” Yoel replied, holding his forehead, looking weak

Stella hurried over and placed two pillows behind his back. “You’ll feel better with these pillows. The

doctor said you hav

need to stay in the hospital for a few

days”

“Okay” Yoel nodded. “You took care of me in the hospital lest night”

Stella nodded, “I didn’t know how to contect your family, so ”

My family is all in Mavonia, Yoel answered

Mavonia, Yoel answered

fella felt a bit guilty. Tm sorry, Yoel. You got hurt because of me. If you hadn’t shielded me from that falling tree, you wouldn’t have gotten injured

“It’s okay, I would have done the same for anyone else. Yoel patted her head.

Brian entered the room at that moment. He witnessed Yoel patting Stelle’s head while she didn’t shy

Brian let out a cold scoff, his eyes full of resentment What are you doing?

Stella turned to see Brian and inexplicably felt quilty. He strode in, dressed in a somber black suit, exuding an icy chilling demeanor. He walked over to the two of them

Before Stella could speak, he wrapped his arm around her. He tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips but not reaching his eyes. “Why didn’t you tell me Mr. Perkins was injured?

Stella was speechless. He knew, so why pretend in front of Yoel? He even deliberately touched the spot on her head where Yoel had touched as if staking his claim

“If you had told me earlier, I would have hired caretakers for Mr. Perkins Why did you have to care for him yourself?

“You’re my wife. If people replace out you’re taking care of another man in the hospital, what will they think?”

Yoel picked up on Brian’s words. He calmly responded, “Mr. Foley, you’re overthinking it. I was unconscious, and my family was abroad. Stella couldn’t reach them, so she stayed to look after me

Brian glanced at him, then at Stella. His thin lips parted slightly. ‘Is that so? Stella remained silent.

Voel continued Last night at the mall, I saw Stella surrounded by a crowd After inquiring I learned it was related to the incident with Jessica Why did you carry Jessica away but leave Stella behind, Mr.

Foley?

“She’s your wife, but you left her there to be attacked by that crowd. I couldn’t stand by and watch, so I took Stella away. Otherwise, she would have been mobbed by those clueless onlookers.”

“Were you scolded by those people last night?” Brian asked Stella.

Recalling that incident chilled Stella’s heart. After a moment, she gave him a smile laced with a hint of

sarcasm. “Yes.”

Brian frowned. “Come home with me.”

“You can go home by yourself. Yoel got hurt because of me. I need to stay and take care of him.” Stella

refused to go home.

“I’ll arrange two caretakers for him.” Brian tried to pull her away

Stella wouldn’t budge. “No need. Yoel was hurt because of me, so I’ll take care of him myself.”

“You’re my wife. Taking care of another man like this, how does that look?”

Stella didn’t respond but stubbornly refused to leave. A cold glint appeared in Brian’s eyes as he leaned in to whisper in her ear.

“Don’t you want your father to be released?”

Those words sent shivers through Stella’s body as she turned to look at him. Brian repeated, “Come home

with me.”

Stella took a deep breath and finally turned to Yoel. “Yoel, rest well here. I’ll come back to see you

tomorrow.”
