Cross My Tigress Face the Wrath (Stella) novel Chapter 500

Stella could sense Tegan’s unprecedented determination. Over the years, she had witnessed Tegan's struggles within the Horner family, and now, she nodded firmly. "Okay, I'll help you get out of here."

Tegan's despair was palpable. She was a remarkably mature young woman, always facing challenges head-on. The impulse to escape was unlike her usual self, and Stella understood that sometimes, in moments of despair, you don't need to ask questions. You just need to nod and be there for them. Stella wouldn't press if Tegan didn't want to talk about it.

"Really?" Tegan's eyes, previously filled with sorrow, now gleamed with a glimmer of hope.

Stella nodded. "Yeah."

"But what about Uriah..." Tegan trailed off, clearly troubled. Uriah wasn't likely to let her go easily, and that was what worried her the most.

Stella didn't know what had happened between them to bring things to this point. But seeing the light in Tegan's eyes, she reassured her, "Don't worry. I've got a plan."

With that, she pulled out her phone and called Ronald. "Hey, I'm taking Tegan with me to Ferrowland. There's some trouble with Uriah."

Those few words conveyed everything.

Tegan clutched her blanket, tense with uncertainty.

Ronald paused for a moment on the other end, then replied, "I'll handle it."

Those four words came through the phone, which brought Tegan a sense of relief.

Stella continued, "Okay, can you have Finley come to the hospital later?"

Finley was a doctor, and with Tegan's recent injury, they needed to ensure she was fit to travel after a thorough check-up.

Ronald agreed, his tone ever supportive. They exchanged a few more words before ending the call, and Stella turned to Tegan with assurance, "It's done."
