He Never Noticed Me Until I Loved Someone Else novel Chapter 399

Sebastian naturally noticed Stella's confusion. In fact, he had asked Jarrod the exact same question back then.

How did Jarrod reply?

He had said, "I know you have strong feelings for Stella, but you aren't the type to take advantage of someone when they're vulnerable. You'll wait until I resolve everything and then compete with me fairly."

Sebastian had to admit, Jarrod knew him incredibly well.

If Jarrod had genuinely divorced Stella for another woman, Sebastian wouldn't have hesitated to confess his feelings. But knowing Jarrod had done it to protect her, he simply couldn't bring himself to launch an aggressive pursuit.

In a way, Sebastian resented Jarrod for telling him the truth. If he hadn't known, he wouldn't be burdened with this psychological guilt!

Ultimately, Sebastian kept all of this to himself.

He knew Stella didn't see him in a romantic light, so there was no reason to add to her emotional baggage.

Right on cue, Summer and Julian walked into the hospital room carrying takeout, giving Sebastian the perfect excuse to change the subject.

By evening, Stella felt her energy returning and asked Summer to accompany her to the ICU.

Through the thick glass window, Stella looked at Jarrod. His face was entirely devoid of color, his lips dry and pale, and his chest was wrapped in thick layers of bandages. He looked completely lifeless.

A lump formed in Stella's throat, and her eyes grew misty. She was the one who was supposed to be lying in that bed; Jarrod had taken this suffering in her place.

"Stella, Summer."

Jasper walked over.

Given the recent chaos within the Fuller family, Jasper's eyes were also bloodshot. "Stella, how are you feeling?"

Stella managed a faint smile and assured him she was fine.

Jasper's voice dropped, thick with disbelief as he admitted he never expected Silas to be so wicked. Not only had Silas hurt their grandfather, but he had even stooped to kidnapping Stella.
