Morwenna didn't know that if it had been any other woman who kissed him, Stuart might have chucked her out of the car window without a second thought.
Adelaide had been by Stuart's side for five years, yet she couldn't touch him casually either.
The atmosphere in the car grew even more stifling.
Morwenna stopped trying to touch Stuart's forehead.
Stuart's expression darkened slightly.
Morwenna thought it was because of the accident that had just happened, so she moved closer to the window, allowing some distance between herself and Stuart.
Stuart’s expression grew even more grim.
Soon, they arrived at Healing Streams Medical Center.
Fletcher was already waiting in the usual private room he reserved for Stuart.
Upon seeing them, Fletcher greeted, "Hi, Stuart, Wenna."
Morwenna’s face was tense, and she didn’t respond.
Fletcher was puzzled. Morwenna usually greeted him cheerfully; what was different today?
Morwenna, still with a stern face, said, “Stuart’s wound is infected, and he’s running a high fever because the bandages got soaked when he fell into the water yesterday. Dr. Vaughn, if you were too busy yesterday, you should have just told me. How could you promise to change his dressing and then not show up?”
Morwenna couldn’t care less about Stuart finding out that she had called Fletcher to change the dressing yesterday.
Fletcher was confused.
He hadn't shown up? But he had spent the entire night at Windcharm Villas with Stuart!
Was it his fault for not changing the dressing? Stuart had flatly refused to let anyone touch him.
What was he supposed to do? Forcefully strip him?
Fletcher tried to explain.
