Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 342

Stella lay nestled in his arms when she heard the phone buzzing. She nudged him gently. "Your phone's ringing."

"Ignore it."

His voice was rough, like it had been dragged through the gravel.

But the phone kept buzzing insistently.

Stella urged, "You should answer it. It might be important."

Deep down, she feared it might be Xander. After all, they hadn’t left Patrina yet. Since Ronald could receive urgent calls at any time, his plane was equipped with a special setup.

Stella's persistence finally got to him. With an annoyed huff, he got up and glanced at the screen.

An unknown number.

He answered curtly, "Speak."

That single word was as cold as ice, as though it could slice through stone.

"It's Yorick," came the voice from the other end.

The call was loud enough for Stella to hear from the bed.

Yorick? What on earth was he thinking?

Meanwhile, Ronald's expression grew sharp. "What is it?"

His voice carried a dangerous edge that seemed to pulse through the phone line.

The air on the other end thickened with an invisible pressure.

Just as Ronald was about to lose patience and hang up, Yorick spoke again. "The Larkins are still her blood family. There's no need to wipe them out. They desperately need a doctor."
