Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 252

With Finley gone, Stella felt the weight in her heart finally lift.

However, Finley, in his infinite wisdom, decided to turn back to Ronald and ask, "Anything else feeling off with you?"

Stella could only think, "Great, the rock's been put back in place."

At this moment, she was seriously considering whether it would be possible to unscrew Finley's head from his shoulders.

"What else could he possibly feel? I've already given him some meds."

Her tone was sharp, as if she might physically attack Finley if he uttered another word.

Undeterred, Finley responded, "Come on, I'm a doctor. Isn't it my job to ask? That's no ordinary medicine. There could be side effects. What's the harm in asking?"

Stella sighed deeply.

Was it really just a simple question? The insinuation in his voice was hard to miss.

Finley's gaze then briefly lingered on the scarf wrapped around Stella's neck.

"I was saying..."

"Finley." Ronald's cold voice cut him off before he could finish.

Finley met Ronald's deep gaze, and in that instant, a light bulb went off in his mind — he understood!

He was going to scold the kid again.

With that, Finley left.

Now it was just Stella and Ronald. Stella felt incredibly nervous, as if her heart could leap out of her throat at any moment.

"Do you feel discomfort anywhere else?" she stammered, trying to mask her anxiety.

Ronald's gaze was piercing.

When he didn't respond, Stella cautiously lifted her eyes to meet his. The depth in them made her heart skip a beat once again.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" she asked.

His seriousness was intimidating. Even though Stella had grown up around Ronald, she couldn't help but feel a bit scared of him.

"Come here," Ronald said sternly.
