With that, she swiftly exited the restaurant and hailed a taxi bound for the hospital.


    When Miley arrived, Ste had justpleted her infusion, and a nurse was removing the IV tube.


    Ste was lost in thought, oblivious to Miley’s arrival.


    “What happened? Why are you in the hospital?” Miley asked, her touch tender as she stroked Ste’s pallid face.


    Ste attempted a smile and exined, “I have a fever.


    I’m sorry for causing you worry again.


    ”


    “Why have you be so weak? Miley frowned, her tone remained concerned.


    “Do you have any lingering effects from the car ident?


    Once you recover, we should schedule a thorough physical examination.


    Shaking her head, Ste reassured her, “I’m fine.


    I’ll take good care of myself.


    ”


    “By the way, where’s Matthew? Why isn’t he here in the ward with you while you’re unwell?” Miley scanned the room, but there was no sign of him.


    Ste blinked and confessed in a hushed tone, “We had an argument.


    I’d like to stay at your house tonight, if that’s okay.


    ”


    Seeing the pain in Ste’s eyes, Miley’s heart ached for her.


    Without prying further, she held Ste’s shoulder and said, “You’re always wee.


    You can stay at my vi for as long as you need, not just tonight.


    ”


    Ste looked at her gratefully, holding her hand and offering a relieved smile.


    Miley gathered her belongings and helped Ste leave the ward.


    As they stood at the hospital’s entrance, waiting for a taxi, Ste happened to notice a Rolls-Royce parked in a corner.


    Ste knew it was Matthew’s car.


    She nced at it briefly, then redirected her attention as if nothing had happened, boarding the taxi with Miley.


    Inside the car, Matthew watched Ste and the taxi pull away, his fingers tapping irritably on the steering wheel.


    However, he kept a discreet distance and followed them closely.


    It wasn’t until the taxi reached Prosper Bay, and he saw them safely entering Miley’s home, that Matthew felt a wave of relief wash over him.


    He parked his car at Miley’s doorstep and gazed at the door for a while before being interrupted by an emergency call from Fernando, pulling him back into the affairs of Prosperity Group.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Back in his office, the image of his argument with Ste yed on a loop in Matthew’s mind, fueling his discontent.
