Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 273

Ronald eyed her for a moment before gently touching her forehead to check her temperature. Thankfully, it hadn't risen again.

His eyes softened as he asked, "What could I possibly hide from you?"

"Was Ursula getting kicked out of the hospital your doing?"

If anyone suggested it wasn't Ronald's handiwork, Stella would have laughed.

In a swift motion, Ronald pulled her into his arms, causing Stella to lose her balance and end up sitting on his lap.

"Ow!"

It hurt so much it was almost exhilarating.

Seeing her wince, Ronald asked, "Does it hurt again?"

Stella complained, "Be gentle, will you?"

It really did hurt.

Ronald apologized, "Sorry, I forgot."

"Forgot?" Stella couldn't help but shiver at the thought. How could he forget something like that?

"You better not forget."

Thankfully, he didn't claim to have forgotten about last night's ordeal, or she'd have nowhere to turn for justice, no way to hold him accountable.

Ronald massaged her leg, asking, "Does it hurt here?"

Stella responded, "It's really sore."

Her legs felt like they didn't belong to her anymore.

Ronald continued to massage gently, teasing, "So delicate."

Stella pouted in response.

Ronald then asked, "Haven't you been exercising these past few years?"

The question made Stella feel guilty; Ronald was implying daily exercise was a must. Ever since leaving Ferrowland, she had let herself go.

"No?"

Stella nodded, feeling guiltily.

Ronald declared, "Once you're better, you'll run for an hour every day."

Stella internally screamed at the thought. An hour? That sounded like torture.

"Was the Ursula situation really your doing?"

"Last night, Idris visited the driver responsible for your accident two years ago. Whatever was said, I wasn't informed."

Stella didn't buy it. He had to know; claiming otherwise was ludicrous.
