Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 112

Jaxon nodded, "I know."

Just as they were about to say something else, alarms from the hospital room's machines started blaring urgently. Jaxon and Cloudia exchanged a glance, their faces all changing drastically, before rushing into the room.

Ursula was lying on the bed, her face pale as she kept her eyes shut.

The machines beeped frantically, scaring Cloudia, "Ursula, Ursula! Call a doctor!"

Ursula weakly opened her eyes, feebly grabbing Cloudia's hand, "Mom, it hurts so much."

Those words shattered Cloudia's heart.

Stella found herself wrapped in Ronald's arms, his hand gripping her waist. The other hand played with a strand of her hair. He seemed to enjoy having her sit on his lap, a preference he's had since they were kids. But Stella was feeling uneasy now, "Ronald, it..."

What to say? She had lost count of how many times they had this conversation in recent days.

Yet, Ronald seemed to automatically filter it out, not listening or something.

Stella felt her heart might just jump out of her chest.

Ronald asked, "The one you love? Who is it?"

His fingers curled a lock of Stella's hair, his tone laced with a trace of tease.

Stella's mind buzzed, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably.

How could there be such a coincidence? Ronald had just walked in to hear those words.

Now, Stella's face was all red, "Let go of me first."

"You've really grown up, even has someone you love," Ronald's voice was soft, filled with his unique indulgence towards Stella.

"Tell me, who are you in love with, hmm?"

"Can I not say?"

"No, Star, tell me who you love, and I'll take care of it."

Stella felt helpless.

Taking care of what? Could she even say it? She dared not risk it.

The things in her heart, if spoken, were too risky; she couldn't take the chance.

"No, I was just joking."

"No?"

"Yeah, no."

"But why do I feel like there is."

Stella insisted, "You're mistaken, really."

Stella shook her head, not daring to continue.

Idris saw Ronald come out and approached respectfully, "Sir."

As they walked, Ronald lit a cigarette, "Kids grow up, start keeping secrets."

His words carried depth.

But Idris understood exactly what he meant.

"Ms. Quinn only thinks about you. You don't need to worry about that."

Ronald exhaled smoke, "Is that so?"

Idris nodded, "Yes."

As Ronald heard this, his lips curved into a pleased smile.

"Speed up that thing. The air in Portis City isn't too good." Idris replied, "Understood."
