Miles nodded with a smile. “Alright, Mrs. Hale, Wait, I mean Ms. Hale.”
Seeing how happy he looked, Serena couldn’t help but say, “Miles, just call me Stella or Serena.”
She and Miles knew each other well. He was two years older than her.
Since they were friends anyway, it was perfectly fine for him to call her by her name.
“Ah… Serena,” Miles replied easily.
Serena had saved his life last night, and he was truly grateful.
“Ser… nah, Ms. Hale. I think I’ll stick with that. It just feels right to me,” Miles said.
He just couldn’t bring himself to call her by her first name.
He admired Serena. She was beautiful and kind, the kind of person anyone would naturally look up to.
Serena let it slide, rummaged through her bag for a moment, and handed Miles a small packet of pills.
“Your ribs are injured. Take one before each meal, once a day. It’ll help ease the pain,” she told him.
“Thank you!” Miles was really touched. “Ms. Hale, you’re so kind!”
Miles felt tears prick at his eyes.
He knew her medicine was super precious.
And he was especially grateful for everything she had done for his mother.
35 vouchers.
Serena pointed at the hot water pot nearby. “Go take your medicine now. Once you’ve taken it, your ribs won’t hurt as much.”
“Okay!” Miles said, choked up, as he turned away to take his pills.
‘It hurts so much,‘ Dylan thought. ‘I used to be Stella’s favorite, the one she treasured most. Now, she won’t even look at me.’
After taking his medicine, Miles headed toward the bathroom.
Dylan finally asked, “Stella, you okay?”
Stella shot him a sideways glance, her voice cool. “I’m fine.”
“Let me call the doctor over to check on you,” Dylan said, concern still written all over his face as he slowly sat up.
Stella waved him off. “No need. I’m a doctor. I know my own condition better than anyone.”
Dylan stood tall in front of her.
He looked down at her, and seeing how pale she was, his heart twisted with pain. He wished he could take her pain away
himself.
Her hair had grown much longer, framing her face and making her features look even more striking. Her lips were full and

glossy, tempting like ripe fruit
Dylan swallowed hard, a sudden urge to kiss her rising up inside him.
His wild, untamed eyes locked onto hers, refusing to let go.
Stella felt on edge with Dylan staring at her like that.
She frowned at him. “What do you want now?” she snapped.
The way he was staring at her was seriously creeping her out.
Maybe it was because he had been so cold to her before. She was completely fed up with Dylan now
Stella said coldly, “Dylan, when a room opens up, just go to another ward. I really can’t stand seeing you right no
Dylan had been about to say something, but her words left him at a loss.
He asked in a low voice, “Stella, if you can’t stand me, then why did you save me last night?”
Stella looked at him and replied honestly, “I saw someone being attacked while I was in the car. At first, I didn’t even realize is was you.
“If I’d known, I would’ve just looked the other way. I don’t want anything to do with you anymore?
Her voice was flat, completely devoid of emotion.
Dylan’s chest tightened sharply. If he were in her place, he’d probably feel the same.
If it were him, he’d want nothing more than to kill the person who hurt him.
Honestly, Stella was already being merciful to him.
He raised an eyebrow, a devilish smile tugging at his lips. “Stella, whether you meant to or not, thanks for saving Miles and me last night.”
Meeting her calm, unwavering gaze felt like his heart was being torn apart.
His chest ached so badly it felt like a storm was raging inside.
She stayed silent, refusing to say anything. She simply couldn’t stand talking to Dylan right now.
Even so, Dylan still called the doctor over. The doctor examined Stella’s wound. It was swollen, and the stitched area looked raw and inflamed.
Her pale skin just made the injury stand out even more.
Dylan clenched his fists at his sides. Who was really trying to kill her last night?‘ Dylan thought.
