Shadows Between Us (Stella and Sebastian) novel Chapter 337

Chapter 337

:..

Stella was casually playing with the Penn School Token in her hand.

After a stunned pause, Charles finally asked, “And who’s the other one?”

Sebastian’s voice was cold and distant. “Me.”

The old token looked even more striking in his long, well-defined fingers, as if it had taken on a noble glow.

Charles was amazed.

There was no need to ask, because wherever Stella was, Sebastian was never far behind.

Charles hesitated, “Ms. Carter, what about your license…” He trailed off, knowing full well Stella was Shark. He wondered, ‘Is she really planning to out herself at the International Herbal Medicine Conference?’

That would be quite a thrill.

Stella shot him a look. “Don’t worry.”

She couldn’t have sounded more chill.

Charles had just started to relax when Stella casually added, “I had someone whip up a fake license for me.”

Charles was amazed.

Landen just lost for words.

Bernard was speechless.

Allan didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Morgan was silent.

Everyone fell into silence.

The next second, Stella looked down with a soft chuckle. “Just kidding.”

Everyone stood there, left speechless.

But Charles’s question did remind Stella. She pulled out her phone and texted Callum a message.

Shark: [Do you have a license?]

Callum replied: [Well…]

Shark: [Here’s Cedar’s business card.]

Stella sent Callum the business card of Cedar, the head of the Dorestan Medical Alliance.

Shark: [Call him. He’ll handle everything.]

Callum: [What’s this?]

Stella paused for a second, then replied as if nothing had happened.

Shark: [You know who he is.]

Callum didn’t reply to her.

After a moment, Stella added. [It’s free.]

Stella looked up at Charles. “Callum’s sorted too.”

Charles was amazed.

‘That’s not what I meant. Charles thought. He needed a sec to wrap his head around this.

Meanwhile, Allan suddenly started whining, “I want to go too! I want to go to Tongalia too!”

Lucas raised his tiny hands toward Stella, his eyes brimming with tears. “Go!”

Morgan chuckled, “An event this huge must need some sponsors, right?”

At that, Allan’s eyes instantly sparkled with excitement.

Suddenly, a loud crash came from upstairs.

Stella noticed everyone clearly heard it, but they all just froze for a split second, then went right back to what they were doing, as if nothing happened. Even Allan didn’t give anything away.

She suddenly remembered that strange feeling earlier, when she was adding Houston from Rhaesia University, someone had definitely been watching her from the second floor. Now she was really starting to wonder.

Bernard broke the subtle atmosphere. “Allan.”

He suddenly addressed Allan directly.

Allan raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s up? Your orders?”

Bernard dropped his eyes, paused for a couple of seconds, then finally said, “I saw Galatea a while back. She seemed to be doing well.”

Allan froze for a moment, staying silent.

He leaned back in his chair, eyes slowly narrowing, clearly lost in some memory.

Stella gave Allan a look.

She hadn’t forgotten. Back when she went to Jaffina to help with Barrett’s surgery, the airport staff straight-up

said Allan was blacklisted on that flight route.

Joey had also mentioned that after Hendrix passed, the Reed family had put the word out.

It looked like Allan was hiding a few secrets of his own.

After a while, Allan said, “That’s great.”

He lounged back in his chair, looking just as relaxed as before, like his mood hadn’t changed at all.

After a quick exchange, everyone took their leave.

Things went quiet inside again.

Mr. Harper, the guard stood straight, but his voice was tinged with concern. “Why didn’t you let Ms. Carter…”

Bernard raised a hand, cutting him off.

He said, “It’s not the right time yet.”

He watched the others leave, his eyes dark and thoughtful.

As soon as they left, Landen, clutching his precious herbs, squeezed up next to Stella. “Dr. Miracle, promise you’ll keep me safe when we head to Tongalia, alright?”

He gave her the most pathetic puppy eyes.

Stella froze.

Charles gave Stella an apologetic look. “Sorry, Ms. Carter.”

Before Stella could even respond, Charles, who couldn’t take it anymore, grabbed Landen and dragged him off.

Make sure you keep me safe! Landen shouted, still looking as pitiful as ever. He waved at Stella with a sad little look.

Meanwhile, Morgan was finishing up his chat with Sebastian and Allan. His hand rested casually at his lower ribs, but when he spotted Stella approaching, he dropped it and smiled at her. “Ms. Carter,” he greeted.

Instead of Stella answering, Lucas responded with a soft, sleepy yawn, sounding every bit the adorable baby.

With his chubby little hands, Lucas hugged Stella tightly, rubbing his pudgy cheeks against her, looking absolutely cuddly and drowsy.

Morgan smiled, “Thanks for the generosity you showed Nova Group last time.”

That revenue split with Ion Wing Drones turned out to be a gold mine for Nova Group after Conrad’s press conference. Nobody saw those insane profits coming, especially with Nova Group only getting a 30% share.

Stella shot Morgan an unreadable look. She nodded gently, rolling up her white shirt sleeve to show off her

To everyone else, her move looked pretty weird.

But in the very next second, catching everyone totally off guard, Stella suddenly punched Morgan right in the lower ribs.

Allan’s eyes went wide as he lurched forward in shock. “Stella!”

Don’t get in the way, Sebastian said coolly, clamping a hand down on Allan’s shoulder to stop him.

At that exact moment, Morgan jerked his head to the side, and he coughed up a mouthful of thick, black blood that splattered across the floor.

Stella casually sidestepped, then slowly rolled her sleeve back down, slipping right back into her usual laid- back vibe.

Morgan’s smile faded, and he said seriously, “Thanks.”

As soon as that mouthful of blood came up, the discomfort that had been weighing on his lower ribs for years vanished in an instant. The relief was immediate.
