NovelBookChapter 2379 Betsey, stung by Lindsays words, immediately shot back.
Lindsay, dont be deceived by Stella.
I saw her and Sanford practically glued together! If theyre bold enough to act like that in public, who knows what theyre doing in private... Before she could say more, Matthew slammed a hand down on the table and roared, Enough! The sharpness of his tone silenced the room.
He stood abruptly, his eyes blazing as he fixed Betsey with a glare so fierce that she instinctively shrank back. Her defiance crumbled, and she lowered her head, too afraid to speak further.
Taking a deep breath, Matthew forced himself to rein in his temper.
He turned to Lindsay and said curtly, Get srest.
Ill take you to the hospital for rehab tomorrow.
Without another word, he strode toward the door.
Lindsay quickly followed him, her tone soft and soothing.
Matthew, please dont argue with Stella.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI truly believe theres nothing between her and Sanford. Betsey must have misunderstood.
She hesitated for a moment, and then added, Betseys been acting out because of my leg situation.
Her tempers only gotten worse, and thats probably why shes targeting Stella.
Its my fault for not managing things better.
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes glistened with unshed tears.
She looked so aggrieved, so fragile, that anyone watching would have felt an urge to console her.
Matthew glanced at Lindsay with calm eyes.
Its not your fault.
III make sure Stella gets your message.
You go back inside.
With that, he strode away.
Lindsay watched him walk away, her pained expression shifting into a subtle smile.
She knew shed nailed it.
Matthews suspicion and anger toward Stella were growing, driving an even deeper wedge between them. Matthew returned to his car, frustration simmering beneath the surface.
Pulling out his phone to call Stella, he noticed a message from her that had cin ten minutes ago.
He called her, trying to stay composed.
What hospital is Clint at? Seamarsh Hospital, Stella said.
After a brief pause, she said, If youre swamped with work, dont worry about rushing.
Ill be staying overnight at the hospital and wont be coming back tonight.
Ive told Lucia, so Ill be missing tomorrows family party.
Im heading to the hospital now, Matthew said in a cold tone and hung up.
Stella listened to the dial tone, confused, feeling that Matthew was upset.

She scowled, confused about what had gone wrong. Clint had woken up just five minutes ago but then drifted back to sleep.
After examining him, the doctor reassured her that there was nothing to worry about. Stella gently wetted his Lips with a damp cotton swab.
She told the butler to go hand rest, reassuring him that she could handle the night on her own. The butler declined firmly, his voice tinged with guilt.
I cant.
I have to stay and look after Mr.
Anderson.
Its all my fault.
If I had been there, Mr.
Anderson wouldnt have fallen.
