He Gave Her Strawberries, Gave Me Hives (Ford and Sylvia) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 8

Felix’s steps faltered. He hesitated for a moment, then actually turned back!

Just as a final, absurd flicker of hope ignited in Stella, he didn’t even look at her. He just quickly felt around the spot where Hazel had fallen and picked up a good luck charm, its corner scorched by the fire.

It was the one Hazel always wore.

So, that’s what it was for.

“Haha… hahahaha…”

Stella laughed, amidst the smoke and flames, laughed until tears streamed down her face.

Once, if she so much as pricked her finger, he would worry for half a day, sweeping her into his arms and rushing to the hospital.

Now, she was trapped in a sea of fire, on the brink of death, and he came only for another woman, and that

woman’s good luck charm.

Felix found the charm, held Hazel again, and charged out of the inferno without a backward glance.

The moment they disappeared, a burning beam crashed down with a deafening roar, right towards Stella.

She closed her eyes and lost all consciousness.

When she woke up again, she found she was back at the villa.

Felix was standing by her bed, seemingly wanting to explain something, his tone formal and distant. “The fire last night, things were too chaotic. I didn’t realize you were trapped in there too. If I had known, I would have…”

You would have what?

Stella finished the sentence silently in her mind, a barely perceptible, mocking smile on her lips.

Would you have left Hazel to save me first?

No, you wouldn’t have.

Before, when your heart and eyes were full of me, you would naturally appear the moment I needed you.

Chapter 8

Now your heart and eyes are full of Hazel, how could you possibly still see me?

She felt incredibly weary and didn’t want to say another word to him.

She silently turned her back to him and closed her eyes.

Seeing her refusal to communicate, her lifeless demeanor, Felix frowned. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, just pressed his temples and placed a glass of water and some pills on the bedside table. “Take your medicine.”

For the next few days, Felix surprisingly didn’t leave. He spent most of his time at the villa, even handling his work from the study.

But she refused to acknowledge him.

This complete, cold dismissal was like a fine needle pricking at Felix’s heart. Not fatal, but increasingly irritating.

Finally, on the evening of the fifth day of her silence, Felix put down his tablet and walked to her bedside.

“Stella,” his voice was tight with suppressed impatience, “what exactly are you angry about?”

Stella kept her gaze fixed on the window, giving no reaction.

Felix’s patience seemed to have run out. He reached out and forcefully turned her by the shoulders, making her face him. “Look at me! I told you, I love Hazel now. In a dangerous situation like that, it’s only natural that I would put her safety first! What kind of tantrum are you throwing?”

Only then did Stella slowly lift her eyes and look at him calmly.

It was this very calmness that made Felix’s heart skip a beat. His anger flared, but it felt like punching cotton–there was nothing for it to land on.

He stared at her for a long moment before finally letting go, as if tired of this one–man show. He wearily pressed his temples. “Since you’re fine, there’s no need for me to waste any more time here. There are a lot of important things at the company.”

With that, he turned and left the bedroom without a backward glance.

It wasn’t until the door was fully closed that Stella whispered, so softly it was almost inaudible, “Felix, I’m not angry.”

“My heart is dead.”

“So, for you, there are no more expectations, and no more resentment.”
