When Love Comes Late
Chapter 2277

Thankfully, Stella was there to steady her.

The butler and Lindsay also rushed out of the dining room upon hearing the commotion, which had thrown the living room into utter chaos.

Without delay, Matthew transported Waldo to the hospital, with Stella and Lucia following in another car.

Left behind, Lindsay felt a growing unease, worried the elderly couples condition might disrupt her plans.

She barked at the butler, Quick, get another car ready-I need to go to the hospital now! At the hospital, outside the operating room, a group of anxious faces awaited further news.

Cordell arrived swiftly, having been promptly informed of the crisis.

Upon seeing the Clark family in turmoil, Cordell attempted to instill calm.

Dont worry, dont panic, he soothed.

He then turned to Stella, offering guidance.

Keep a close watch on Lucias emotions.

Ensure she doesnt become overly agitated.

Stella, steadying Lucia, nodded in acknowledgment.

Cordell proceeded to enter the operating room to assess the situation.

Time seemed to stand still until the light outside the operating room finally switched off.

..

Library As the door swung open, everyone clustered around the doctor.

The doctor swiftly alleviated their concerns, announcing, The patient has been stabilized.

Theres no major issue, but given his age, he must avoid any further stress or excitement.

Relieved, everyone exhaled deeply.

Lucia, still trembling, wiped away her tears and murmured gratefully, Thank God, thank God… Beside her, Stellas tension eased, thankful that Waldo was out of immediate danger.

However, in that moment of relief, Matthew approached Stella with a frosty look.

You better have an explanation for this, he stated quietly.

Stella was stunned.

Matthews word kept echoing in her mind like a storm brewing inside her, leaving her uneasy and on edge.

Lucia, on the other hand, failed to catch what Matthew said, as she was preoccupied with Waldos condition.

She gingerly tugged at Stellas sleeve.

Lets go to Waldos ward and check on him first, she said in a worried tone.

Stella took a deep breath in an attempt to calm her roiling emotions.

ALL right.

With that, she put an arm around Lucia and supported her as they slowly made their way to the ward.

Lindsay sat quietly nearby, appearing nonchalant on the surface, but actually noting every single detail of her surroundings.

She didnt manage to overhear the conversation between Matthew and Stella, either, but she could tell from Matthews sullen expression that he was pissed.

This led Lindsay to speculate that Stella might have something to do with Waldos fainting.

The idea delighted her, and she couldnt help but feel like Luck was finally on her side.
