The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1594

Upon hearing the other person say that he was Mason, Stella took a serious look at him. He looked

different from his youth, shedding his innocence and becoming dignified and refined. He was quite

handsome.

After recognizing him, Stella smiled and returned the smile. “Weren’t you settled in Singapore? Why

are you back now, and why are you here at the hospital?”

Mason felt a sense of familiarity, like meeting an old acquaintance, and became more enthusiastic. “My

grandmother hasn’t been doing well lately, and my mom urged me to come back and see her. So I

hurried back, and I didn’t expect to meet you here at the hospital.”

After saying that, Mason’s gaze shifted to Stella’s white coat. “From the way you’re dressed, it seems

like you’re a doctor. Did you become a doctor?”

Stella nodded without saying much. Mason continued, “Back in high school, you always talked about

wanting to go to medical school. I thought you were just joking, but I didn’t expect you to actually

become a doctor.”

Stella, not paying much attention, smiled and asked, “From the way you talk, it sounds like you look

down on doctors.”

Mason quickly waved his hand. “No, not at all. I just thought that after what happened, you wouldn’t

follow in Eric’s footsteps…”

He wanted to continue speaking, but realizing that his words were a bit too much, he quickly stopped

and apologized, “I’m sorry, I spoke without thinking.”

Stella shook her head. “It’s okay, it’s all in the past…”

Eric was dead, and along with his death, all those memories disappeared.

Mason mentioned Eric again and couldn’t help but ask, “Eric passed away, did you know?”

Stella’s face turned a bit pale, but she remained calm and nodded, “Yes, I knew.”

How could she not know when she was the one who killed him?

Mason let out a sigh. “Although he died at such a young age, there’s a saying that makes sense. Bad

people will always face retribution, and Eric did some really terrible things, which is why he died so

early…”

Back then, he had bought a boat and planned to confess to Stella on the boat. It was supposed to be a

meaningful and beautiful thing, but Eric inexplicably rushed onto the boat and took Stella away. After

she was taken away, he heard that Eric had his men

rape Stella.

Mason still regretted it. If he had been a little braver and chased after Eric to protect Stella, she

wouldn’t have suffered such harm. But he had been afraid of Eric at that time and didn’t have the

courage to follow. That’s why Stella was bullied by the people Eric sent.

Thinking of this, Mason felt guilty. He wanted to invite Stella to

have a meal, but she didn’t want to go. However, Mason said, “Stella, don’t worry, I don’t have those

feelings for you anymore. I just see you as a classmate, as a friend.”

Unable to resist his enthusiasm, Stella took off her white coat and handed it to a nurse, then left the

hospital with Mason. As they were leaving, a doctor called Stella “Director.” That’s when Mason learned

that Arcadia, the most expensive and best hospital, was actually run by Stella.

He couldn’t help but give Stella a thumbs up. “So you’re not just a doctor, but also the director. You’re

quite impressive now…”

The young Mason used to be shy and often too timid to speak, but now he dared to tease her, which

made Stella feel relaxed.

She didn’t ride in Mason’s car, but drove her own car and took Mason to a moderately priced

restaurant. After they sat down, she asked Mason, “What are you doing now?”

Mason wanted to treat Stella to something more expensive, but it

was evident that Stella was still the same as before, frugal and considerate. He understood and didn’t

force it.

As he handed her the utensils, Mason replied, “I’m doing research and development abroad, which is

related to programming.”

Talking about this, Mason mentioned Eric again with a smile. “I can do this job because of Eric. If it

weren’t for him showing off his computer skills at school, I wouldn’t have started learning computers at

that young age. But it’s precisely because of that competition with him that I have my current job…”

Mason’s pack background in Imperial Capital was also quite good. Stella asked, “Why didn’t you inherit

your pack’s business and instead went abroad to do research and development?”

Mason picked up his tea cup and took a sip, nonchalantly saying, “My brother is the heir, and he will

take care of the family business in the future. As for me, I’m carefree, doing things I enjoy. Besides, I’ll

still receive a good share of the pack inheritance. Isn’t that a good thing?”

After finishing his last sentence, Mason laughed at himself. “Don’t laugh at me, I’m just this kind of

person with limited ambition…”

Mason had a good temperament, which Stella had always known, so how could she laugh at such a

genuinely cheerful person? “You’re fine just the way you are.”

Confident and sunny, Mason raised his eyebrows at Stella. “Right,

I think so too.”

Stella smiled, but deep down, she still felt calm. For some reason, ever since Eric’s death, Stella found

it difficult to genuinely laugh. It seemed like she was carrying a heavy burden that prevented her from

laughing wholeheartedly.
