After Stella's stitches were removed, Old Mr. Wyatt examined her hand carefully.
He nodded. "The recovery is going well, but you still need to avoid lifting heavy objects for the first three months and avoid overusing it for a year."
He paused for a moment before adding, "I'll be staying here for the next year to monitor your recovery. If you injure this hand, you can come to me for treatment anytime."
For Old Mr. Wyatt to be willing to stay in Solmaris until Stella was fully recovered was an immense favor.
Stella asked, "Thank you so much for agreeing to treat me, Old Mr. Wyatt. If there's anything you need that's within our power, I'll definitely…"
Before she could finish, Old Mr. Wyatt cut her off curtly.
"That won't be necessary. I've already received my payment, so there's no reason to accept another. Besides… the kind of payment I require isn't something everyone can afford."
As he said this, he glanced at Joshua, his expression deeply meaningful.
"Not even this young man here could provide it."
Joshua's eyes darkened. "May I ask what it is you require, Old Mr. Wyatt?"
At that moment, Mr. Burton cleared his throat from the side.
"It's just a few secret formulas. Don't listen to his nonsense."
Mr. Burton looked impatient. "Alright, if there's nothing else, you two can leave. I still have to study secret formulas with this old geezer."
Hearing that, Old Mr. Wyatt's eyebrows shot up. His usually emotionless poker face was contorted with anger.
"You're two years older than me, and you're calling me an old geezer?" Old Mr. Wyatt shot back. "You're the old bastard!"

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....
Can’t wait to see what joshua will do...
Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
