Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 112

Jaxon nodded, "I know."

Just as they were about to say something else, alarms from the hospital room's machines started blaring urgently.

Jaxon and Cloudia exchanged a glance, their faces all changing drastically, before rushing into the room.

Ursula was lying on the bed, her face pale as she kept her eyes shut.

The machines beeped frantically, scaring Cloudia, "Ursula, Ursula! Call a doctor!"

Ursula weakly opened her eyes, feebly grabbing Cloudia's hand, "Mom, it hurts so much."

Those words shattered Cloudia's heart.

Over at Wave Residence.

Stella found herself wrapped in Ronald's arms, his hand gripping her waist. The other hand played with a strand of her hair. He seemed to enjoy having her sit on his lap, a preference he’s had since they were kids.

But Stella was feeling uneasy now, "Ronald, it..."

What to say? She had lost count of how many times they had this conversation in recent days.

Yet, Ronald seemed to automatically filter it out, not listening or something.

Stella felt her heart might just jump out of her chest.

Ronald asked, "The one you love? Who is it?"

His fingers curled a lock of Stella’s hair, his tone laced with a trace of tease.

Stella's mind buzzed, her cheeks flushing uncontrollably.

How could there be such a coincidence? Ronald had just walked in to hear those words.

Now, Stella’s face was all red, "Let go of me first."

"You’ve really grown up, even has someone you love," Ronald's voice was soft, filled with his unique indulgence towards Stella.

Stella faced his tenderness, her heart tightening to its limit.

"Ummm..." she stuttered, completely at a loss for words.

"Tell me, who are you in love with, hmm?"

"Can I not say?"

"No, Star, tell me who you love, and I'll take care of it."
