Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 387

Stella was reluctant.

Ronald tried every trick in the book, and finally, after ten minutes of persuasion, Stella agreed to let the doctor take a quick look. And by quick, she meant just a glance.

But even that brief glance was enough for the seasoned doctor to understand her condition.

The doctor prescribed some medication for Stella - both pills and ointment.

Stella didn't put up any more resistance as Ronald applied the ointment and handed her a pill to swallow.

“Ugh, it tastes awful.”

Ronald popped a piece of candy into her mouth. “Better now?”

Stella nodded. “You're busy, you should get going.”

He had promised to stay only a couple of days before heading back to Ferrowland, so he needed to get everything sorted out quickly.

And then there was Susanna. Out of the blue, she decided to go to Ferrowland, and from what Stella gathered over the phone, she felt a bit uneasy about it.

“Take a nap; you didn't seem to get much sleep on the plane.”

Stella murmured, “Okay.”

She wasn't sure if it was the injury or something else, but she felt incredibly sleepy.

After tucking her in, Ronald left the room.

…

At the Larkin household.

Tegan, having examined Ursula, bluntly declared, “Her condition has worsened beyond my help.”

Cloudia and Ursula exchanged a shocked look. Their eyes mirrored the same sorrow, but Ursula's held an additional layer of fear - the fear of death.

“Mom.”

The word came out choked with pain and emotion.

Cloudia's heart clenched. “Dr. James, is there really nothing else you can do?”

Despite knowing that Ursula might have framed Stella by using underhanded tactics just as she did to Lola, Cloudia was willing to do anything to save her.

Tegan remained silent, so Cloudia pressed on, “You're a brilliant young doctor, a specialist in your field. Everyone says you can snatch people back from the brink. There must be something you can do, right?”
