Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 226

Seriously? After all his promises, this was what she got?

Why? Just why?

Breathing heavily, Ursula mustered the courage to call Yorick, only for the call to be abruptly dropped after a single ring.

The cold shoulder from Yorick was nothing short of torturous.

Yet, at that moment, she couldn't bring herself to dial his number again.

And then there was Stella...

Had she known something all along? That darn Stella!

The more Ursula thought about it, the angrier she became.

...

In the Spring Hill Clinic.

"Ah! It hurts, it really hurts! Go easy on me!" Stella screamed in terror.

Ronald, standing right beside her, smirked, the corners of his lips curling up. "Haven't even started yet."

Stella’s eyes widened. "What?"

Not started? What in the world was Finley doing?

The needle hovered over her knee. When she dared to peek at Finley, she realized the truth - the needle was still in his hand, untouched.

Finley rolled his eyes.

"I haven't even started. What's hurting you? Spit it out, because I'm not taking the fall for this."

If that needle had actually pricked Stella's knee and she cried out, Ronald might have kicked him across the room. Talk about being wrongly accused!

Stella was flabbergasted. "If you're not going to prick, then why point that thing at my knee?"

Finley replied, "Well, I need to find the right spot, don't I? To see where it'll have the best effect?"

"Then find it, but keep that needle away from me."

Just the sight of a needle hovering aimlessly near her knee was enough to drive anyone mad.

"Found it, found it. Don't yell- it won't hurt."

"Ah!"

Finley froze.

Was it really that painful? That terrifying?

Ronald sighed. "Alright, enough screaming. It's over."

Stella blinked in confusion.
