Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)

Chapter 504



Finley glanced at Stella, frowning with concern. "You seriously plan on taking Tegan to Ferrowland? Uriah Horner won't let her go without a fuss."

Something would come up when they left Portis City tonight if Uriah disagreed.

Stella shrugged it off with a confident smile. "Ronald said he'd handle it."

Finley nodded, reassured. "Yeah, there's nothing he can't sort out."

Yet, he couldn't help but worry. Tegan was Uriah's girl, and taking her along would stir up some trouble.

"Ronald said he'd come pick you up soon."

"Okay," Stella replied, returning to Tegan's hospital room.

As she stepped inside, her phone buzzed. It was Ronald.

"Hey, Ronald," Stella greeted Ronald.

"Do you need to pack anything special to bring back?" Ronald asked.

"Nothing much," Stella replied. "Just have someone gather the things I left in the study. They're gifts for Mom and Yvonne."

As for her own belongings, Stella had already decided she wanted nothing from Portis City, not a single piece.

Ronald hummed in acknowledgment. "Ensure Tegan's ready. I'll be there soon to take you both to the airport."

"Are we leaving straight away?" Stella asked, glancing out the window at the dimming sky.

"Yeah," Ronald confirmed, his voice gentle. "Have you been tired at the hospital?noveldrama

If you need a break, we can stop by home first."

Stella shook her head. "No need. I'll wait for you here."

With Tegan's current condition, she couldn't bear to leave her side.

"Okay," Ronald said warmly.

After a few more words, Stella ended the call.

Soon, a nurse came in, followed by a few staff wheeling a bed into the room.

Stella was puzzled. "What's this?"

It was a VIP room, after all. They weren't supposed to add extra beds.

The nurse gave Stella a respectful nod. "Our director arranged this, Ms. Quinn. If you get tired, you can rest here."

"But there's a sofa right here," Stella pointed out, confused. It must be Ronald's doing.

The nurse chuckled. "A sofa isn't as comfortable for resting."

They swiftly set up the bed, tucking in fresh sheets and a warm blanket.

Stella stood there, somewhat speechless. Ronald was always so considerate.

Once the bed was ready, the nurse turned to Stella. "If you need anything else, use the call button."

"Thank you," Stella replied graciously.

"It's no trouble," the nurse said with a smile, then left the room.

Stella eyed the neatly made bed, a small smile playing on her lips. Did Ronald think she needed that much care?

Observing the scene, Tegan remarked, "I didn't realize Mr. Quinn was so attentive."

Stella thought of responding, mentioning how Uriah was just as considerate with Tegan, but the words stayed locked in her throat. If Tegan felt the need to escape, there had to be a significant issue between them.

Stella decided not to pry. If Tegan wanted to talk, she would. That was the best way to support her.

Thinking back to how Tegan's eyes

lit up when she mentioned Uriah, Stella Couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're coming with me to Ferrowland?"

In Stella's mind, Tegan leaving Portis City could only mean two things. Either something serious happened with Uriah, or she was acting on impulse. Stella hoped it was the latter, wishing nothing but the best for her friend.

Tegan nodded firmly. "Of course. I can't thank you enough for your help."

"Don't mention it," Stella said, smiling with reassurance.
