Seven Days to Goodbye (Irene and Stellan) novel Chapter 20

Stellan found it amusing and handed them two bottles of water.

The woman quickly thanked him, then continued to soothe the man, acting coquettishly.

“Don’t be mad anymore!”

The man was not truly angry; seeing her struggle to open the bottle cap for a while made him laugh in exasperation.

He took the bottle directly, opened it for her, and said, “Alright, I’m not angry.”

“But you kept saying you were tired earlier, have some water.”

Only then did the woman smile and tilt her head back to drink the

Stellan watched these interactions through the rearview mirror, found them sweet, and could not help but smile.

Irene also turned around, her face full of envy: “You two are really

Stellan went along to take care of them, and only after the doctor finished did he prepare to say goodbye.

But Steven called out to him, hesitated, and said, “Brother, thank you for today, but I advise you to go to the hospital for a checkup as soon as possible.”
