She was anxious, afraid to even breathe, worried her dreams might shatter.
It wasn’t until Matthew actually opened his eyes that Stella truly believed her eyes.
“You... You're awake?” Stella felt a surge of emotion, and tears streamed down her face.
She was momentarily overwhelmed.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to settle down, and immediately called Cordell.
Grinning from ear to ear, Cordell requested people to set up a series of examinations.
Holding the test results, Cordell smiled and said, “Matthew’s condition is stable.
He’s doing well.
He should be ready to leave the hospital after smore recovery.
After doing what was necessary, Cordell sensibly exited the room, leaving the couple alone.
Looking at Matthew, Stella broke down and cried.
“You finally woke up.
| thought you had left me.
Do you know how scared and worried | was? Your grandparents were so worried they got sick.
Without Miley and the others, | don’t know how | would have coped...”
Before Matthew woke up, she had covered her anxiety, not wanting to burden others with her worry.
Seeing Matthew awake, Stella felt a flood of relief, as if she had found her support once more.
Stella wanted to embrace Matthew tightly, but worried about hurting him, she simply held his hand and cried.
Matthew, still weak, looked at her tearful face and felt guilty.
“I'm sorry to have caused you so much pain.
How could Stella hold him responsible? She cried and said, “It’s not your fault.
The important thing is that you're awake now...”
After holding it in for ages, all her feelings ccrashing down.
She blurted out, “I was so scared you wouldn't wake up.
What would IT have done?”
“This is the last time.
| promise,” Matthew said in a rough voice.
The room was filled with Stella’s weeping.
Matthew, understanding her fear, soothed her with patience.
Slowly, Stella began to find her calm.
Matthew spotted the tablet PC and several sketches on the table.
Recalling that Stella had been awake when he opened his eyes, he looked at her with concern.

Don’t work late into the night.
Stella shook her head, and then nodded, unsure of how to explain.
Matthew gently wiped away her tears with a tissue and asked softly, “While | was unconscious, did Benny cause
any trouble for you or the Clark family?”
He narrowed his eyes with coldness.
Stella kept quiet about Waldo ending up in the hospital because of his anger toward Benny.
She only brought up the bet she had made with Benny.
Her expression somber, she explained, “My project is at a standstill.
Building a brand requires both reputation and tto develop.
Despite Bella's assistance, we can’t seem to turn a profit quickly.
The shareholders are starting to lose confidence.
Matthew glanced again at the drafts scattered on the table, his eyes narrowing.
Stella sensed Matthew's concern, so she instinctively lowered her voice and reassured him, “Don’t worry.
| only agreed to the bet to buy us stime.
Once the shareholders learn that you're alert and active, they'll surely back you up.
She expected Matthew to spring into action, but he declined outright.
