Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella)
Chapter 37

Seeing Jaxon approach, Orion respectfully said, "Mist Bay, Wave Residence!"

"What was she doing there?"

The moment Jaxon heard Stella was over at Wave Residence, his expression darkened.

Was she really trying to burn bridges with the Larkin family, seeking a backdoor at that place?

Could it be she was trying to charm the elusive owner of Wave Residence?

Ha, wishful thinking.

Right now, in the entirety of Portis City, there were hardly a few who would give her a second glance.

The owner of Wave Residence, although shrouded in mystery, must be someone of significant stature to own such a grand estate in Portis City.

Stella trying to seduce him was like a fool's dream.

Orion replied, "I'm not sure."

At that time, Stella wouldn't even spare him an extra word, and with Wave Residence being tight-lipped, it was impossible to know why Stella had gone there. Yorick's face turned darkened, "Find out who the owner is, as soon as possible."

Clearly, he hadn't given up hope.

Ursula said she was scared, but in reality... Yorick was scared too, frightened that Ursula might not make it through this time.

Therefore, he too hoped to fulfill all her wishes in what could possibly be her last days.

Seeing Yorick hadn't given up, Orion nodded with a hint of headache, "Got it."

...

In the hospital room.

Cloudia had been constantly by Ursula's side these past few days. Watching Ursula being tormented by her illness until she passed out was unbearable for her. Just as Yorick was about to step forward, his phone rang.

It was Imogen.

"You need to come back immediately."

Imogen's tone was serious over the phone.

Yorick glanced at Ursula, who had already fallen asleep, and hummed in acknowledgment.

After hanging up, he saw Cloudia looking at him with sorrowful eyes.

"I heard Professor James is not only good at managing the condition but also has a lot of experience in alleviating patients' suffering. Rick, Ursula just passed out from the pain," Cloudia said in agony. Hearing that, Yorick felt even more urgent to bring Tegan back without further delay.

But despite putting pressure on the director and personally calling Tegan, the result...

Thinking about Tegan's harsh tone over the phone, how she seemed utterly indifferent even to threats, Yorick felt a pounding headache.

"Rick, you have to figure something out, Ursula is really in too much pain," Cloudia said in distress.

Yorick nodded, "Yeah, I'll find a way."

"And also, with Ursula's condition now...you and her..." Cloudia couldn't continue.

She truly hoped Ursula could be with Yorick, but with all these medical reports piling up, and seeing Ursula tormented by her illness time and again, she knew very well that no matter what, the Quarry family would never accept Ursula. It might even upset the Quarry family, and even with Yorick's support, the Larkin family would not have an easy time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Cloudia took a deep breath, "You can't drag things out with Stella anymore. And Professor James, you have to bring her back no matter what."

Initially, she hoped Yorick could stay by Ursula's side during this time.

But now, what good would Yorick's presence do? He wasn't a doctor, and the crucial doctor they needed was somehow tied to Stella.

So, it all boiled down to Tegan's return being of paramount importance.
