These days, Hayden had some spare time to look after Stella with the soup cooked by herself, who saved Stefan.
“Is he not here again?” Hayden looked around, “Does he disappear since the day I left? How can he be so rude?”
Stella shook her head, “He has been here several times in the evening because he has to continue the drill. Although it’s not necessary for our team to participate it, Stefan was called back to the school to provide the details of the case. It takes him a lot of time.”
“I know you must speak for him.”
Hayden shook the head, opened the lunch-box and poured some nutrient soup into the bowl to Stella, “It’s fresh and delicious.”
Stella smiled and teased, “It’s lucky of your boyfriend to have such a lover.”
“Oh, really?” Hayden was astounded.
“Your dishes taste great. If I were a man, I would have a crush on you.”
“Thank you. I think you can marry a cook with the same cooking skills.”
Hearing this, Stella paused and widened her eyes, “Oh, you are right.”
Hayden was amused by her reaction, turning on the TV.
It was reporting the news about the warehouse.
“So far, we have gone further on the case, drug trafficking of the warehouse of the Joann Group. This time, the total weight of drugs reaches…”
This case attracted huge attentions from the citizens in Nanking, which was reported by the local media many times in the three days, because not only the quantity of drugs was so huge, but also this anti-drug action was carried out by several students of the University of Public and Security.
The list of the key figures in it was becoming so increasingly longer that all the owners of a place of entertainment were frightened.
“Oh, I remember that what you found at first were piles of cartoon watches, so where’s the drug? Is it inside the watch?”
Hayden asked curiously.
Stella was having the soup, and then answered, “I was not there. But a member told me that all the drugs were hidden in the belts of watches, which turned out to be hollow. Each of the watches contained a dose for a person.”
The drugs were hidden so secretly that nobody would ever have doubts on the toys if Hayden and Dante discovered some drugs before.
When they were talking, someone knocked at the door.
“Excuse me. Is Stella here?”
Hayden and Stella looked back to find an elegant lady in a blue coat with a light-tan scarf on the neck. She had her hair tied severely in a bun as well. Although she was more than fifty years old, she looked like a woman at her thirties.
She was not known by Stella but Hayden recognized her, asked surprisingly,
“Mrs. Beckham.”
The lady was the owner of the Maple Sugar Inn in the Lanxi Town, also Joseph’s mother.
At the sight of Hayden, Mrs. Beckham was shocked as well.
The room was silent strangely, but Stella asked without any hesitation, “I am Stella. Why do you find me?”
Mrs. Beckham entered the ward and put the basket of fruits brought by her on the desk. She looked at Hayden and then said to Stella, “I am Stefan’s mother. I was told that you got hurt because of Stefan.”
