“Stella! Wake up, Stella!”
Stefan didn’t arrive at the hospital, calling Stella loudly, until it’s almost at dawn.
“Doctor, she was stabbed in the left side of the belly 20 minutes ago.”
After he described precisely the details of the weapon and Stella’s condition, the doctor and nurses pushed Stella into the operating theatre, doing a more-than-two-hour surgery, and Stefan was waiting still outside the door of the room like a quiet stature.
Hayden arrived at the hospital at 9 a.m.
She knew nothing about the whole plan until she overheard the conversation between the housekeeper and Mr. Beckham that Franklin was taken away by the police, and it’s reported by the media that something happened in the warehouse.
She at once rang up Joseph who went to the ST Group early in the morning, and reproached him furiously after knowing that the plan was made up by him and Stefan.
“Don’t you know Stefan is so young? He has no experience! Why not just call the police? What if anything severer happened?”
Joseph stayed silent until she stopped blaming him,
“I will go to the hospital when the company is operating as usual. You can go there first. He is fine actually, but the leader of the same team got wounded.”
When Hayden was informed that Stella was hurt because of protecting Stefan, she became outraged.
“You need to be more meticulous before taking actions. The girl is just 19 years old and how can you comfort her parents if she dies.”
Stefan listened to Hayden’s scolding quietly, standing at the door of the ward.
“Do you learn from Joseph?” Hayden pinched him, “All the men are the same. When they do something wrong, they say nothing.”
Then she gave her bag to Stefan,
“What are you doing? Go and buy some food, some bland food.”
Stefan answered, “Ok, I will be back soon.”
Looking at his back, Hayden sighed.
Although he was smart in analyzing like an adult, he seemed obtuse now who didn’t any food for the girl. A night passed, and the girl must need food to gain some energy. What an idiot in relationship.
In the ward which was painted white, Hayden bought a bunch of flowers to Stella who now was recovering in the general ward after the operation.
When she entered, the girl reading a book about military and weapons looked up instantly, and after she recognized who she was, she smiled,
“I remember you. You are the Stefan’s sister.”
“Yes.” Hayden smiled as well, putting the flowers at the bedside, “I am Hayden, several years your senior. You can treat me as your sister as Stefan does.”
Actually, Hayden indicated nothing but the girl had more thoughts with a flushed face, who ducked her head and twisted the quilt, saying, “Stefan and I are just classmates and comrades and we are not in love…”
Hayden was amused. She didn’t want Stella to lose face, so she said, “Alright, you can call my name directly. After all, I am not very old.”
“Thank you. You are a good sister.” Stella answered.
“Your name is Stella?” Hayden asked.
“Yes.” Stella nodded, “They all call me like that.”
“I was told that you got wounded because of Stefan.”
“It’s fine,” Stella said seriously, “I am responsible for his safety since he is the member of my team.”
