Jonathan and Aurora tried to argue and badger them for a while, but Stella effortlessly deflected every point they made. After more than half an hour of wrangling, Jonathan and Aurora were left completely speechless.
Throughout the confrontation, Sellers had been observing Joshua. Joshua's expression was neutral, and he showed no outward signs of anything unusual.
As if sensing his gaze, Joshua glanced at him, a meaningful curve on his lips. He walked over to Stella and whispered in her ear, "Star, I'm going to step out for some air."
Stella nodded gently. "Okay."
Over the past two weeks, Joshua had been undergoing treatment with Stella by his side. He had been cooperative and proactive, and the results were better than ever before. In less than half a month, his condition had largely stabilized, and he no longer needed the intensive daily therapy he had before.
Dr. Chase had told Stella, "Rushing things will only backfire. Forcing a quick recovery is like planting a ticking time bomb in his condition. Since the treatment has been effective, we can reduce the frequency. A session every three to five days will be sufficient. With your support and cooperation, Ms. Cameron, Mr. Gardner's treatment will be more effective and the timeline will be shorter. I estimate it will take at least a year to fully manage his condition. But during this time, please be patient with him. Also, and this is crucial, do not let him be subjected to another major shock."
It was hard to provoke Joshua with ordinary matters. Even in life-or-death situations, he could remain calm and composed.
The only exception was Stella.
For some reason, Stella suddenly remembered what Leonard had said.
"His illness is a ticking time bomb between you two. He has too many enemies, and they will use every means possible to destroy him. If they can't find an effective way to deal with Joshua, they will turn their attention to you."
After the recent incident, Stella had become even more cautious. Joshua followed her almost everywhere, as if he had returned to his old role as her "bodyguard." But he was no longer the Joshua of the past. Everyone who saw him was wary and intimidated. The way they looked at Stella was also a bit strange.
Joshua paid it no mind.
