Chapter 573
“Do I need to be with her during the treatment process?” Weston asked.
Dr. Hayden nodded, but his brows furrowed into a frown when he looked at Guinevere. “Given her current situation, she needs someone she can trust by her side, or it’ll be hard for me to keep her under control. If she were to hurt herself, it wouldn’t be good…”
Weston sat down by the bed.
Guinevere immediately grabbed his hands. “Don’t go. Stay with me, all right?”
Hayden’s eyes glinted as his gaze deepened. “Ms. Cohen appears to be very dependent on you.”
Weston remained silent. “Please begin,” he said after a while.
He looked up at Hayden. “Do whatever it takes to get her back to normal.”
On the other side of the hospital.
Stella finally felt rest assured upon confirming that Roger was fine.
Her face turned solemn when she saw Roger hemming and
hawing. “What is it that you find so difficult to confess even to me?”
“I don’t mean that…”
Both of them settled down on the chairs along the corridor.
Riley had gone to the washroom, so they decided to wait for her there.
Anger simmered in Stella’s heart at Roger’s silence. “After you did something so dangerous last night, you’re still unwilling to tell me why? Do you still treat me as your sister?”
“Of course I do! You’re my only family, I just…”
Roger stammered for a long while before saying, “Stella, I don’t really want to pursue my studies overseas.”
“What did you say?!” Stella raised her voice. “Everything has been prepared, and you’re telling me you don’t want to study overseas?”
Disappointment filled her eyes, causing Roger’s head to hang down low. “I’m sorry, it was just a random remark…”
“Stella, haven’t we agreed to never let that person affect our
lives anymore?”
“You’re not the only student he’s sponsoring. It’s very normal that a big company does some corporate social responsibility. They are obliged to do so, to enhance their corporate image and reputation.. and you earned this scholarship based on your merit, not some underhanded means. It is a chance you deserve. As long as you hold your head up high and be honest, the sponsor doesn’t matter.”
“I know…” Roger said, “But I just don’t feel good about it.”
Stella was about to say more when Riley came out of the washroom
“Sorry for making you guys wait!”
“What took you so long?” Roger furrowed his brows.
Riley stuck out her tongue playfully. “I’m sorry. I saw a famous celebrity over there and went to check things out…”
“Did you know? Guinevere Cohen is here at the hospital too!”
